About 850 years BC, the Israelites were burying a dead guy, when suddenly they were attacked by some raiders. Well, they needed to free up their hands to fight, so they quickly chucked this man’s dead body into Elisha's tomb. Now, Elisha was a great prophet of God, back in the day. The Bible says, in 2 Kings 13:21, "When the body touched Elisha's bones the man came to life and stood up on his feet." Score! Elisha was dead, and they were just his dead bones, but God still used dead bones to bring life to someone else. You see, God works through people like you and me. Sometimes we think, “Oh, well who am I to bring life to someone else?” But even the dead bones in our lives, the areas in our lives that aren't perfect, God can still move through. God was showing us that He just needs a willing vessel. You see, when you received Christ, you received life, and now you are fully qualified to serve God and to lead others to the Lord. The enemy wants you to believe that you aren’t good enough to serve God, but you are. If you are waiting until you are perfect, well, that might happen, but remember this… you are ready, because Christ has made you holy.
