GREGORY COUNTY - EZEKIEL

66 Books of the Bible Release to 66 Counties of South Dakota

Our 26th county to pray for in South Dakota is Gregory County, with the city of Burke being the county seat.  We release the book of Ezekiel to Gregory County.  Ezekiel's  name means "God strengthens, and Ezekiel was a prophet who ministered to his people while in Babylonian bondage. He was also a greatly educated and prepared priest, and was a descendant of the godly Zadok priesthood. The book of Ezekiel is referred to as the book of "Acts of the Holy Spirit" in the Old Testament.

In chapter 1, Ezekiel was given a vision of the cherubim as the 4 living creatures around the throne of God as "the wheel within the wheel".  Chapter 37 was a vision of the restoration of Israel in the valley of the dry bones, as Ezekiel was commanded by the Lord to prophesy the very breath of Life into the dry bones.  In chapter 47, Ezekiel experienced the river of God from heaven with its healing waters. 

Ezekiel was the first to receive the revelation of Jehovah-Shammah, meaning "the presence Who is always with us" (from Ezekiel 48:35, ". . . The Lord is there").  Jesus said, ". . . I am with you always, . . . (Matthew 28:20). Undoubtedly, Ezekiel knew Jehovah-Shammah - the Lord Jesus and His presence.  Ezekiel also knew the Lord as the great Shepherd Who would come and feed them.  Jesus is seen as the true Shepherd in Ezekiel 34:11-31.

Father in the name of Jesus we release the book of Ezekiel, that Your Presence would be made known as Jehovah-Shammah to the people and land of Gregory County. That any area where the enemy has come to kill, steal, and destroy, we release Your breath of Life to come back to those areas as in Ezekiel 37.  We prophesy, Dry Bones, Live!  That the River of Your Presence would flow through Gregory County, where Your healing properties would be made known to the people.  We release the Good Shepherd of their souls to find that place of peace, healing, and restoration.  And that Your Holy Spirit would have full reign in Gregory County as the river of God flows through this area.
