April 27 – Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37)

In this opening revival message, Brother John Childers urges the church to recognize that God is not done with His people and that revival is withheld only when we choose to live without it. Drawing from Ezekiel 37, he reminds the congregation that God brings life to what is dead, but His people must first acknowledge their dryness, obey His Word, and allow the Spirit—not noise, emotion, or flesh—to breathe true life into them. He warns that many churches today resemble bodies with sinew and skin but no breath, mistaking activity for revival, and calls the church to repentance, unity, and readiness, because God still has purpose for every believer and desires to raise an exceeding great army.
