OUR BONES ARE LISTENING!

We’re probably all familiar with the song “Them bones, them bones, them dry bones…”🎶 so if you’ve ever been concerned about your bones we’re going to have a look at what Scripture says about them today.

Psalm 34:20 For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken. I started claiming this promise a long time ago and I looked up ‘broken’. It means, crushed, destroyed, hurt, broken down or broken off. Scripture tells us we are the righteous, so this promise applies to all of us who belong to Jesus but as with all the promises we have to take it by faith.  Not one of our bones will be broken down, destroyed, crushed or hurt. I believe the Lord wants us to speak to our bones and tell them so and if they are already damaged to speak His healing Words to them.

Proverbs 4:20-22  … My words bring life to all who find them and healing and health to their whole body which of course includes our bones. As we read, hear and speak God’s Words to our bones they are bringing life and healing.

Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Again, it’s about the words we hear, which it says can actually bring healing to our bones. We can speak grace filled, life giving words and our bones are listening to us! Healing words - “Bones - by Jesus’ wounds, you were and are healed. Bones you are strong and healthy and functioning normally, filled with God’s life giving marrow. You will not be crushed , broken or destroyed, in Jesus’ name.”

Ezekiel 37:1-11 (especially) 4-5 … Then He said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say…”. Please look these verses up and you’ll find God told Ezekiel to prophetically speak life to the dry, dead bones which seemed impossible! I believe that is an example to us, we too can speak God’s words of life prophetically to our own bones whatever condition they are in right now.

Proverbs 14:30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. But the good news is, now Jesus, by His shed blood, by the stripes on His back, has healed our bones of every disease, including all cancers wherever they may be. (Isaiah 53:5) Praise God.

God has made it clear He wants our bones well, strong and whole or He wouldn’t have written about them specifically and I believe He wants us to speak life and healing to our bones if they’re giving us trouble.

There are other ‘bones’ scriptures for us to search out, but do trust these are a help to get us started to keep our bones strong and healthy (whatever age we are), or speak healing to them in the name of Jesus. Amen.🙂
