Raise Your Hand!

Happy Tuesday!

Here’s something I wrote in my book, Make Me A Legend this morning. It’s raw and unedited… so be kind! lol

I’ve been reworking chapter one for some time now… and finally winding down to what appears to be the final version, ‘Beauty is Sleeping.’ The following clip was written about the dry bones prophesy from the Bible: Ezekiel, chapter 37 (enjoy)

.

raise your hand!

Do you ever wonder if God is flying around the planet looking for his next Ezekiel? If he is, my hand is raised! I hope yours is too! I’m serious about this! I want the Lord to take hold of me–again and again and again, and I really want him to carry me away by the ‘Spirit of the Lord’ to a valley filled with bones. I want him to lead me all around the bones that cover the valley floors of my generation! I want him to show me the real condition of these bones as they are right now scattered everywhere across the ground and completely dried out. And I want to hear him asking me just like he asked Ezekiel, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”

And I want to respond to him just like Ezekiel did, “O Sovereign Lord, you alone know the answer to that!” And then I want to say something like this to him, “O Your Majesty, I am here for you—I’ll fly over the deadest places and prophecy to the driest bones and I will awaken your winds from the four corners of the earth… and I will work with you doing anything it takes to awaken the mightiest army of living legends the world has ever seen!”

Then maybe His Majesty will say to me, “Go ahead Chuck Balsamo—speak the next great awakening message to these bones and say to them, ‘Hey dry bones, LISTEN to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

And then, without a second’s hesitation, I will pack my lungs tight with his creative powers—and tilt back my curly-Q head, open my big fat mouth as wide as it will go, and exhale his passion like a jet stream flying out of the highest heavens!

Just as it happened when Ezekiel spoke, I too will hear a thunderous rattling noise over my family and friends and people from around the world I have never met before; sometimes so loud I may not be able to hear myself speak! Against all odds, the spiritual bones of a multitude of persons will connect together all at once until they are standing perfectly upright before their creator—a vast sea of naked skeletons. And as I watch, I will see great hulking muscles and fleshy tissue forming over each of them. And finally, God will COVER them as the skin organ covers a human body!

And after all this, I want to hear God say to me, “Don’t stop now little Chucky, keep giving the message! Speak again! Shout out to the winds, son of man! Tell the winds, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe INTO these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

And as I speak every message just as he commands me, I want to see HIS breath coming into my audiences. I want to see everyone come to life and all of us jumping up and down on our feet—the mightiest army of all time! I’m going to see all of this and more, because my hand is raised!

Dear reader, is your hand raised yet? Well then, what are you waiting for! Hurry, get both hands up in the air—and wave like you’re flagging down a rescue plane from a stranded island!

2 Chronicles 16:9a “For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”

Thats it for today everyone… I have an ultra busy schedule. Hope this message ads tremendous value to your amazing lives! Please leave a few comments if you have the time… and pray for me, that I will find the TIME to get this book to a publisher SOON! Love you all!
