“So I prophesied as ordered, and breath came into them; they were alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.” Ezekiel 37:10 CJB

It is important, as believers of Adonai Elohim and Yeshua His Machiyach (you know Him as Jesus His Messiah), that we periodically enter boot camp. Boot camp is designed to prepare a person spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally for specific predetermined times in the future.

Because of great times of faith that are needed for the future in our lives, boot camp is necessary. The “boot camp” that I am referring to is the concentrated, focused, habitual study of YHVH’s (God’s) Word.

To have faith and then stay strong in faith, we must have a fresh supply of the bread of life. Today’s manna is not for tomorrow (Exodus 16:15b-30.) YHVH’s manna is new every morning. Most of the children of Israel came to understand that concept, do you?

The Word of YHVH (specifically the Torah portion) is your life force. Those words are infused with the power of the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit). When the bread is eaten (taken in), it becomes a strong force (power) inside of us. Then, and only then, we will speak words that bring deliverance, healing and freedom, not only for ourselves, but also for others.

If you don’t feed your Spirit-man you will become weak. The weakness happens so gradually that you don’t notice it. You think you are all right–but you are not. If you continue to starve your Spirit, you will eventually wake up and find you are a skeleton. Feed on YHVH’s Word, it will put meat on your Spirit-man and it will change and empower you. Ezekiel 37 is a perfect picture of a Spiritual skeleton infused with the, “bread (breath) of Elohim ” (verse 4.) What did the skeleton become after hearing the Word and having the breath of life breathed into him/her? (Verse 10) That’s right, “a part of a huge army!” The word, “huge” is from two Hebrew words meaning, “exceedingly, in might and force” and “great, in magnitude and extent.” Does that give you the hunger/craving to feed on YHVH’s Word? You will be dry bones without it!

When a person finishes boot camp with excellence, he/she gets to be part of a vast army! Coincidence? I think not! Want to sign up? It is not a choice if you want to live…

Prayer: Adonai Elohim, You must be my first and greatest hunger. I don’t want to be dry bones in the middle of the valley floor (my life). I ask You right now to awaken an old hunger that I may have forgotten or ignored. In Yeshua’s name, Adonai Elohim, release me from dead religion into spiritual hunger. Adonai, please speak life to my bones. Breathe on me. Raise me up to my feet to be part of the huge army! Thank you for the sweet manna you give me every morning. I will gather just enough for today and use it for Your glory… until tomorrow when I will gratefully gather again.

Gathering and feasting…
