This series on the five-fold ministry is based off my handwritten notes, which I took as I attended a church conference on this topic in Mar 2025.

Ezek 37:1-10:

God’s promise to restore Israel politically, religiously, to restore back to their own land.

Restoration of Israel, is a powerful “metaphor” for your life and ministry.

We can read Scripture, but distance ourselves from the then, and not now.

That it is only relevant to Ezekiel, and not to us.

There’s an urgency for us as God’s leaders to know who we are, you must know who you are in God.

Same like in Ezekiel 37, he was assured of his calling by God, in his assignments.

Power is released, when you release God’s word.

Jer 1:9: I have put my words in your mouth.

When there is confidence that God has set you there despite the current difficulties, you can confidently declare the hand of the Lord is upon me.

You are declaring you are confident in your calling, I know I’m where God wants me to do.

So you are here in your valley for a purpose.

God wants you out of your old perspective, out of your self, individualism, feelings of inadequacy, poverty mentality, your hurts.

God has to first clean you up, and empty you, in the valley, as he can transforms you.

When you know your assignment, there is no turning back.

It is necessary to break the spirit of poverty, align with God’s heart, and build churches.

God is declaring it’s time for you to take relentless action, to bring God’s power, into your calling.

So we need to call for the spirit of God to come in, to our valleys.

You must have the power of the Holy Spirit working in your life, and assigned area.

You must see in the spirit, you cannot speak into your assignment, until you first hear the voice of God, until you see the opportunities God sees.

Only then will you make a commitment to obey, and speak God’s purpose for your valley.

Everyone should be prophetic, and apostolic, although you don’t necessarily have to be a prophet or apostle.

Stop complaining, because you are declaring negative things, and the greater the mountain, and deeper the valley, you put yourself in.

God is Almighty, he is a sovereign God, his hand is on you, and he will drive back the enemies.

Wake up and hear the word of God, the now word, for today’s situation.

So Ezekiel embraced his assigned valley, and we should embrace our problems / situations too.

And bring God’s word, presence, power, into the situation.

So you can believe the impossible, and dead-ends, will become possible.

Be a leader not a follower, a leader sees God’s possibilities, and opportunities.

Ezekiel also has to obey God, and speak life into his dead situation, of the dry bones.

When you declare the word, you don’t just hope it will happen, but have faith it will come to pass.

Sometimes we feel empty inside, if anything is going to move.

We pray for someone, God is anyone going to heal them.

But we need faith to declare, so we can breathe life into our spirits, situations.

Holy Spirit breath life into our dead spirits, dead dreams, purposes.

Come and revive us, and restore us.

The Holy Spirit is already waiting for you in the future, so step into the situation, and declare the word of God.

You are called to bring restoration, in the midst of increasing turmoil, dryness, as we come closer to the returning of our Lord.

When God’s speaks, you also need the faith to take action, and believe God will supply.

God is faithful, and he rewards your faith, because without faith it is impossible to accomplish anything.

Now when you receive a prophetic revelatory word in your spirit, what are you going to do.

God says believe me, don’t back off anymore, you can do it by my grace.

Are you God’s leader who will lead, instead of pacify the people?

God is calling you to take action, he will open the Red Sea.

People are wanting more, for leaders who will not just give good sermon, but someone who will invade the kingdom of darkness to bring forth healing, miracles.

If God’s spirit does not influence our services, our plans and actions, then people will turn to alternative sources outside churches.

They will seek feng shui, horoscopes, and the supernatural outside God.

It is critical for your spiritual influence to be working, and activated.

God did not move Ezekiel out of his valley, he put him in.

God has put me in this situation, I don’t like it, but I’m here, he has put me in for a purpose.

He wants me to bring resurrection life, and declare impossible, into our circumstances, releasing God’s power.

When God’s spirit flows deep in your inner man, he restores your God-ordained purpose.

God wants to reverse the curse of dryness, spiritual deadness, neglect, distraction, disbelief in yourself.

You are the conduit of God, and he does it through you.

So you first need an encounter with God, and his Holy Spirit, to know that I cannot but my God will work through me, because I have the authority to declare thus says the Lord.

You need to hear from God in every situation, that positions you to hear prophetic revelation, that rings boldness and faith.

God says now is the time to rise up, hear the voice of God, and declare his word into the situation.

When you declare his word, it’s an opportunity for him to intervene.

So don’t miss for yourself opportunities.

I declare revival in your life to the resurrection of your passion and purpose in your life.

God has placed you there for a purpose, of the transformation.

He does not want to take you out of the valley, but change the valley.
