TODAY’S “GOOD NEWS” - November 2, 2003  

MESSAGE:  “SOMEBODY MUST START A REVIVAL!”

SCRIPTURE:  Ezekiel 37:1-10

KEY VERSE:  v. 10  “So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life, and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.”

FOCUS:  By God’s Spirit you can experience a great reversal in your life.

INTRODUCTION:  “With dramatic force the prophet presents the heartening news that Israel may hope to live.  A revival is possible!  Even dry bones, without muscles and flesh and blood, can live.  The coming of God’s spirit brings life.  The same thrilling truth is still needed in a world that has dry bones everywhere.  What we need is to have the Holy Spirit come with His quickening power that a genuine revival may sweep the earth.”  ~ Kyle Yates

CONCLUSION: “Charles G. Finney says that revival is ‘a new beginning of obedience to God’ and that obedience is both negative and positive, renouncing idols and saying with Joshua:  ‘…as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.’”                                            ~ Vance Havner
