Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37: 1-14

Focus

“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,” (Ezekiel 37: 1)

In our Focal Scripture, Ezekiel spoke of how the hand of the Lord was upon him and carried him out in the spirit of the Lord. The hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel and it did not leave him in the same place. The hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel and the next thing it did for him was to move him out of where he was. The hand of the Lord came upon Ezekiel and his destiny location changed. The hand of the Lord took Ezekiel out.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: the hand of the Lord is carrying you out of where you are at the moment. The hand of the Lord is relocating your destiny to a higher level. The hand of the Lord is taking you out of where you are now and into where God has destined you to be. The hand of the Lord is carrying you into places where you may not ordinarily have been able to enter all by yourself. The hand of the Lord is carrying you out.

The hand of the Lord came upon Ezekiel, and the next thing that happened was movement. The hand of the Lord came upon Ezekiel, and the next dimension was advancement and progress. Hear me as I hear the Lord: you are advancing beyond your previous borders. You are advancing beyond your past levels. You are advancing beyond your past records. You are advancing beyond your past achievements. You are moving upwards and forward.

You may have struggled to carry yourself in time past, but in this season, the hand of the Lord will carry you. You may have struggled to move up higher in time past, but in this season, the hand of the Lord is taking you higher. The hand of the Lord is doing for you what you cannot do for yourself. The hand of the Lord is taking you to heights you never imagined you could attain. The hand of the Lord is carrying you to your new season.

When men carry you, they may drop you when they so desire; but if God carries you, you will not go down.

Declaration

The hand of the Lord is upon me, and I move forward and upwards, in Jesus’ name!
