Speak Life

Ezekiel was a prophet he was against self destruction He was sent to give the people words of life and positive instruction But the people would not listen to him nor heed his words Until he told them about the Valley of Dry Bones and what he had heard In the Valley of Dry Bones amid the death and the strife In the Valley of Dry Bones God gave the breath of life In today's society you see despair, the bleak and the living dead and when we look at the youth of today we perceive them as being air heads We come at them with negativity and their attitudes we reject As adults we must learn to speak life to them with positivity and respect We tend to forget the time before when we were saved We've forgotten how far we've come from We tend to misconstrue the teachings and forgiving nature of God's only begotten Son As adults we tend to overlook our own share of youthful failures and mistakes We need to demonstrate some compassion and share some give and take Because It's different does not mean It's worse for everyone is not the same We must learn to appreciate each others individuality for life is a constant change In the Valley of Dry Bones God showed the power of His authority In the Valley of Dry Bones He spoke life and gave the victory Since words are man's primary source of communication Words are what we use to express our situations Peculiar, weird of different does not necessarily mean bad Remember when people thought the ideals of Jesus Christ's were mad To speak in the positive doesn't make you cocky or arrogant For speaking words of life is God's preference But It's not enough to just speak life, you must live it as well It's not enough to just speak life, It's about show and tell As we go about in life we need to comprehend and understand That we need to read the manual on God's life living plans The B.I.B.L.E., the basic instructions before leaving earth Study the words and positively apply them to the life God wants you to live first It matters not where you go in this world nor what you decide to do It matters only that what you do is for Christ and you follow the destiny for you He did choose It's about praying and talking every day to the Lord Jesus Christ It's about positive validation, It's about speaking life
