Ezekiel 37:10
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
In this chapter of Ezekiel we have the story of the dry bones that come to life. Ezekiel is brought to a valley and in the valley are the dead bones of where men were laid to rest. Ezekiel was told to prophesy over the bones and God, by His Word, would bring the bones together, bone to bone. God when then cover them with flesh. But, they still would have no life. God would have to bring the life into them. For them to have life, Ezekiel was to prophecy over the bones. That is the only way anything has life ... by The Word of The Lord. We sometimes think that those who we see have life. Those who walk around in bone and flesh, might even think they have life. But, it is God who gives life. Jesus came to give us life. Note what Jesus said below:
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
It is God who gives life. We don't make it and produce it. Only God can give real life and breath in us. In is through God's Word we were created and it is through God's Word we have life. We don't make it on our own. We don't produce our own breath. God and God alone gives us life. He does that through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Through faith we experience this life as we walk by faith in the ministry of the Spirit.
