In Ezekiel 2:1-10, the Spirit of God raises Ezekiel and tells the prophet the message he is to speak and that same message is for Christians today. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven proclaims the mission, “I send you!” the encouragement, “Be not afraid!” and the message, “Hear what I say!”
“And he said to me, ‘Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.’ And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.”
