• Ezekiel opens with, "The hand of the Lord was upon me."

• Ezekiel gives the right answer to God's question: "Lord, you know."
• Ezekiel already sees his own people in this picture, who are in need of a revival.

• God wants Ezekiel to tell the bones three things:
  -I'll change your status.
  -I'll put breath in you.
  -You'll become human and know I am the Lord.
  
• Ezekiel obediently preaches as he is commanded.

• Flesh formed on the dry bones, and the skeletons looked alive.
• God tells Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind to enter the skeletons, and they become a vast army.
• Likewise, we can look alive, but nothing happens until God breathes in us.

• We can learn three things from Ezekiel's trip to the valley:
  -First, God wants dry, disjointed people to live.
  -Second, we can't do anything without the breath (power) of God.
  -Finally, it is God's desire that people know that he is God.
