Hey family, it is PT. Hold up. This word is coming to you. It's going to bless you, but I want to tell you about something else that I think will bless you as well.

My brother Kirk Franklin is launching his new podcast. It's called Good Words with Kirk Franklin. This podcast welcomes people from every cross section of life that are seeking inspiration and empowerment through intimate conversations that explore faith, redemption, and even just just some of the realities in today's world.

Kirk, Kirk in his own way, you know Kirk, he's going to invite us to see ourselves in the shared moments between him and his guests.

The show provides a fun and energetic outlet to lift people up and the shared trials and tribulations that guests have overcome along the way.

And speaking of guests, some of the guests include Chance the rapper, Ferrell, H-E-R, her Kelly Rowland, Glenn and Doyle and more.

And so there are going to be new episodes every Tuesday starting February 9th. So listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Take care. Now let's get into this word.

Family is so wonderful to be with you here today. You know, I've got a word from God and God gave it to me. And quite frankly, I'm supposed to be out right now. I'm not even supposed to be preaching today.

I'm supposed to be out finishing this incredible book that God has blessed me to write. But in my own personal devotional time, God gave me this word and I said, man, I got to take a break from the break that I took and come and share this word with you.

I believe that it's going to be right on time for some of you. I believe that it's going to be right there that God's going to minister to you.

And the passage of Scripture is not an unfamiliar passage of Scripture at all. We've all read it. If you haven't read it before, you haven't. You've never opened up your word. You know what I mean? I preach from it. But as I've stared it recently, I got revelation and I just want to share with you because I think it's going to bless you.

I think it's going to be a very right now in-season word for you.

So let's go to Genesis 1. And I'm going to read the first seven verses in Genesis 1. And I'm just going to dive in. I'm just going to go for it. We're going to get into this word. We're going to be blessed. We're going to move on. We're going to worship. It's going to be fantastic.

And while we're getting ready to read this, do me a favor and shout out where you're watching from. Shout out wherever you're watching from, whatever country, whatever region, whatever land, whatever city. Just let us know. Put it right there in the feet.

Genesis 1. And it reads like this, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Then God said, let there be light. And there was light. And God saw the light that it was good. And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness.

God called the light day and the darkness he called night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. Then God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters.

And let it divide the waters from the waters. Thus God made the firmament and divided the waters, which were under the firmament from the waters, which were above the firmament.

And it was so, so much there will tap into it entirely. But let's just pray. We're going to dive right into what God showed me as I read this familiar passage of Scripture recently.

So Father, we thank You so much for Your Word. It is a lamp into our feet. It is a light into our path. It's everything. It's excellent. It's so wonderful. And it feeds us and it restores us and it renews us.

Now Father, I thank You for all those who are watching, all those who are listening, receiving this message right now. And I thank You, God, that You're going to bless them, that You're going to unlock some things, that You're going to make things very clear where there were perhaps confusion, where there was confusion or cloudiness, Lord.

And I thank You, God, that You're giving me the spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight, knowledge and prophecy and full use of who You are to communicate these truths.

So we thank You, we love You, we receive right now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless You, family. God bless You.
