&nb= sp; The profit Ezekiel was taken to a dessert filled with dry b= ones and people said, “Look it is all dead”. Ezekiel, fil= led with the spirit of God, didn’t see a hopeless situation, he saw t= hose dry bones dancing and coming back to life. Human eyes saw hopele= ssness, Godly eyes saw opportunity. &nb= sp; Your session has such Godly eyes. You are blessed wit= h a session that does not give up. In the face of difficult circumsta= nce, they do not cower down, but they rise up ever stronger than ever. = ; At our last session meeting, I felt the passion of a calling from God lik= e I’ve never experienced in a session meeting. &nb= sp; Your leaders believe that your church is and can continue t= o be a force that Transforms Hearts here in the Houston Heights. They= recognize this is not because of the skills and talents they bring, it is = exclusively because of the Grace of God. &nb= sp; At times I feel like the lamenting Psalmist, “O God, = why have you forgotten me?” Because I feel that God is not with= me, I begin to loose faith. I see my situation as a valley of dry bo= nes. The good news is that my relationship is not dependent upon my faithfu= lness, it is sustained by God’s faithfulness. Your session not = only recognizes this, they are living it. &nb= sp; &nb= sp; They have a vision for the church to come together as one, = with one strong heartbeat that is empowered by Christ alone. They are= humbled by our circumstances and approach our calling not with a pride in = how great they are, but |

empowered by how great our God is. &nb= sp; The session is going to be calling on everyone who believes= that God can raise even dry bones in a dessert to come together and rise u= p as one. I can see our dry bones dancing by the grace of God. = But I can see it only if all of us are willing to come together under the g= race of God. &nb= sp; I believe in the power of resurrection. That God can = raise the dead. Through the power of God, people can change and be re= deemed. A future of dancing is before us if we only let go our own vi= sion and let God’s vision inspire us. |
