Hey, podcast family. This week we're hearing from Michael Miller on the process that prepares us for the promise.

It's a call to hidden faithfulness, letting the word go deep so that God can bring lasting growth.

We hope you join us on this 21 day fast as we pray. Lord, tend the soil of our hearts and form in us what you've planted in your perfect time.

We love you.

We love you.

Amen and amen.

Well, I was going to preach that last night, and I couldn't.

I just had a really, I think an encounter with God about an hour prior to getting up on the platform.

And it was really something, I think it only happened a couple of times in my life.

And as I was, as I was,

you know, I actually called for Peter. I was like, honey, go get Peter. You just want a friend when

you're encountering God. And I'm like, at first I was like, is this God? Like, I was just so, so, so

overwhelmed and undone. And then I was like, man,

I don't know what to do. Because, because it's like, it's a thing, right? This is, we've been

planning and building up and, you know, months prior thinking about that moment.

And yet when the Lord begins to initiate something with you, I just heard him say,

are you really all about my presence?

Like, is that really all you want?

And there was some more intimate things that I'm not going to get into, but I, I, I was just pretty, I was a mess. And, and, and, and, and I was going to preach this text, actually, that I'm

going to share with you this morning.

We just really want the Lord.

That's really it.
