The Ezekiel Stick: When Sufffering And Praise Become One
A simple piece of wood carrying a life-changing message from Ezekiel 37 – now touching hearts around the world.
Our dear brother in Christ, who has since gone to Heaven, Arthur Blessitt, spoke to us at the Barn many years ago and told that these sticks would be a “confounding mystery” to the world. He was right! We get many questions: What’s with the stick? What does it mean? Why is it meaningful?
When Pastor Steve Coder was turning 40 years old, his longtime friend and fellow comrade, George, gave him a walking stick for his birthday. Little did George know the revelation, move of God and portal of the Kingdom that would be born of this special gift.
As Pastor Steve began to use the walking stick, the Lord began to open up the revelation of Ezekiel 37 to his heart. The Ezekiel stick is more than just a walking stick. In the spirit, it represents so. much. more.

First – That’s AWESOME you want to give a stick away!
Second – We’ve got you covered!

The Power Of The Story Of The Ezekiel Stick Has Changed Lives
No matter the country, language, social status, economic status or XYZ status, suffering and joy are universal. They touch every life at some point.
God knew that in suffering, He would be close and bring fruit from unbearable pain.
In seasons of joy, we can praise God for the joy of that season.
The Ezekiel stick reminds us that God is ever present, in every situation, at all times. The Ezekiel stick is “something to hold on to” in every season.
