THE GRAVES SHALL BURST OPEN

Note from Steve Shultz, Publisher, THE ELIJAH LIST
Many of my good friends are pastors. And you know what? Not one of them, that I know of, is content with the state of the church. We are all looking for MORE of God and for MORE Of His Glory to be DISPLAYED in and to the earth.
God has a solution for the longing heart of the pastor and the rest of the Sheep . . .
Ezek 37:3-6 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"

THE GRAVES SHALL BURST OPEN - A Word Through Bryan Hupperts
Hi, SheepTrax!
While worshipping the Lord this morning, the Spirit of God showed me a vision of an entire nation of church meeting houses that looked as if they were, in truth, a large beautiful cemetery complete with crosses on top. I saw row after row of these beautiful structures that were, in truth, full of dead men's bones. These structures appeared beautiful to the eye but many carried within them the stench of death.
And suddenly there was a rumbling and I saw many of their roofs blown off by the rushing wind of the Spirit of God. In some places there was a titanic shaking. Men on the inside tried to bolt the doors closed but the force of the shaking was too great. The doors burst open! Many people came staggering forth unto newness of life!
I saw the resurrection power of the Lord falling on his people. And they began to take to the streets proclaiming the Gospel in the market places, to the poor. I saw the miracles of the Book of Acts occurring in broad daylight. What we thought was "church" was, in fact, a grave, a death sentence, that was keeping us from the Lord's harvest. (And I am totally committed to the government of the local assembly. That is not being addressed here. God is talking about dead religion, having a form of godliness but not possessing God Himself. - Bryan)
God is going to shake us from our slumber and from our grave that we thought was a place of blessing! We have had a measure of peace but it is the peace of death. We are called to LIFE! Ezekiel 37:13 "And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people."
Is this an end to meeting houses? No, but neither are meeting houses and end unto themselves! God has called us to go forth in His power and His might. Our meeting houses have become fortresses against God and His Gospel. He is not commanding sinners to come in - He is sending His saints out to go and compel them to come in!
Jesus taught in the temple and in the market places. He taught in homes and in lonely places. And God is breaking many of His people free with a mandate to go to the lonely places with the resurrection power of His Spirit to call the brokenhearted and lonely into the family of God.
Seek for the places where the lonely dwell and you shall see the hand of God move in power.
If we will heed this call our meeting houses shall burst at the seams with the glorious Harvest of precious souls that awaits us. They are now ripe for the plucking. Oh, people of God, set your hands to labor now. In the twilight of this hour, labor before night falls.
