Day 239 of Heart Dive 365.

I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi.

Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Starting a brand new book today in the Bible, we are in the book of Ezekiel.

Definitely one of the more vivid and creative prophecies that we will see. So you definitely need to put on your creative glasses here today. Otherwise, you're going to be like, what in the world is going on? As always reading from the ESV by Crossway translation. But before we begin, if you are new to this Bible study, we welcome you here. We are the heart dive ministry reading through the Bible in one year. But of course, you don't need to do that. You can take your time if you want. You can kind of pick and choose if you like, or you can go back to the beginning and start all over. I would definitely recommend doing that. It gives you the best foundation for you to build upon whenever reading the Bible, because of course we are reading in a chronological order, mostly chronological,

I should say. So we do have a reading plan. You can download that from our website, sign up for

our daily newsletter where Holly sends out mostly daily email. We've got a lot of resources on our website

heartdive.org. So definitely recommend you checking that out as well. But a lot of information is in

the show notes or the description box.

That's the best jumping off point. If you have any questions, please make sure to leave them in the comments below. But if you're a part of the heart die family, if you're a BSF, if you could please hit the roll call button, that's the thumbs up button, letting us know that you're ready to jump on in. So we are going to go ahead and do that because we got a lot of color into do.

So let's go ahead and pray and prepare our hearts.

Heavenly Father. letting us know that you're ready to jump on in. So we are going to go ahead and do that because we got a lot of color in to do.

So let's go ahead and pray and prepare our hearts. Heavenly Father, we love you. We thank you for this day. We thank you so much for the new mercies that are available to us today. I pray God that everyone is feeling just a little bit more refreshed, a bit more strengthened today. renewal of our minds, Lord, as we jump into your word,

please help us to understand it.

Lord, will you open up our minds, Lord, as we jump into your word, please help us

to understand it. Lord, will you open up our minds, our eyes, our ears, and our hearts to be able

to receive this word today, to see it with accuracy, to see it for how you intended it to be

seen? And I pray, Lord, that you will speak to us in a very profound and prolific way. Your ministry

did not stop at the prophets. You continue to do so today. And so I pray Holy Spirit that you will do a work in us. Even if it is something that is not spoken audibly in this Bible study, Lord, we know that you can whisper into the hearts of your people. And so I pray that you will do that. Let them know that you're with them. And we just ask, Lord, that you

will forgive us for our sins. Please wipe our slates clean, wash us with the blood of Jesus. We thank you

so much for what you did on that cross so that we can come into your presence without any hindrances.

We just pray that you'll silence all distractions now. Please help us to be able to have this time
