Here is a verse from a new song called Rejoicing Bones. “When I thought about my circumstances I became gloomy inside.  My heart was getting heavy and my peace destroyed. Then in Your Word You revealed the secret of health. My bones are affected when my heart is in despair.”

Remember the words the house of Israel spoke? Ezekiel 37:11 says, “…Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!” What are you speaking over your own health? Are your words drying up your bones because you have lost hope?

Despair is an effective demonic weapon. It comes from fiery dart lies that we allowed to penetrate. We take them as our own and dialogue with them. Elijah despaired because Jezebel spoke death words over him. 1 Kings 19:4 says that he asked the Lord to take his life.

Then he laid down and slept. The Lord provided miraculously for him. In the strength of that food he went forty days and nights to the mountain of God. In verse 9 the Lord asked him what he was doing there.
