Zek’s Visions: Zek, AKA Ezekiel was known as a prophet of doom, often warning God’s people to stop idolatry or else God would punish them. One day, what he had warned the nation actually happened, and they were invaded and overcome by their enemies. Once this happened Zek became a prophet of hope.

Ezekiel 1:1 "In my thirtieth year . . . while I was among the exiles . . . the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God."

“Today I want to speak hope into any hopelessness you may be feeling. Just as in Zek’s vision God breathed life into the dry bones. Sometimes the situations we find ourselves in are life-sapping, life-draining, life-taking. Yet I believe God always brings life, always brings hope.”
