watered it, but God has been 7 making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
MATTHEW 17:20 (NLT)
You dont have enough faith, Jesus told them. I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.
EZEKIEL 37:1-10 (NLT)
1 The LORD
took hold of me, and I was
carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.
3 Then
he asked me, Son of man, can these
bones become living people again? O Sovereign LORD, I replied, you alone know the answer to that. 4 Then he said to me, Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! EZEKIEL 37:3-4 (NLT)
5 This
is what the Sovereign LORD says:
Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD. EZEKIEL 37:5-6 (NLT)
7 So
I spoke this message, just as he told me.
Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.
EZEKIEL 37:7-8 (NLT)
9 Then
he said to me, Speak a prophetic message
to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again. 10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feeta great army.
