† Hooked On A Feeling † And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.” Then He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.” Ezekiel 37:2–5 ESV Ezekiel stood in the valley, surrounded by dead, dry bones. What was left of a great army was now scattered about the ground and lay in the dust. All life was gone and all that remained were the bones, a bleak picture of hopelessness. God told him to prophesy His words over them. Ezekiel had to feel this was a hopeless situation, but he obeyed and when he did, they came to life. Facts, faith and feelings have to line up in that order. Facts are the word of God, living and always relevant. Our faith is demonstrated when our mouth and actions line up with the word of God. Finally, our feelings fall into their proper place, at the end of the line. We can become hooked on feelings of doubt, unbelief, self-pity and fear and we need to let them go in order to move on with God. Facts (Word) first, faith second, feelings last. You cannot reverse this list and put your feelings first, then expect to live an overcoming life. If you feel like God does not love you, then start to act like that and ignore what is written in the Word, then you have the list reversed. You cannot measure how much God loves you by your feelings, you have to stand on what has been written. Also do not speak your feelings if they are negative, your own words will be used against you by the enemy.
