I'm so glad that you are listening to the Pottersouse at one L.A. and Dinver Podcast.

Pastor Sarah and I are praying for you and we believe this message is going to be just what you need.

God bless you and we'll check back in with you after this message.

God bless you. It is absolutely wonderful to be with you this Sunday and I'm excited about this series.

I'm excited about this word. We're going to build on to what we have built and established over the last three weeks.

God's been moving and I pray that you have been taking this word seriously and applying it to your life and doing the work.

We've got to do the work. It's not just about hearing the word but it's about taking a moment and thinking and reflecting and looking at the questions and answering the questions

because I believe that as we do this work we're going to step into this year strong, fortified, aligned and positioned to be everything that God has called us to be.

And so we're going to continue on in our series called Starting Over.

And I want to, you know, our foundational text is the prophetic word. I always like to start with this prophetic word and that word is from Haggai 2 and 9

and it says the latter, the glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former says the Lord of hosts.

And in this place I will give peace says the Lord of hosts. Let's pray.

Father, we thank you for the latter glory that you're cultivating in us.

Thank you Lord God that what is ahead of us is going to be so much greater, we'll have so much more glory than what is behind us. Hallelujah.

And we praise you for keeping us alive and we praise you God for not giving up on us.

You couldn't if you wanted to but we thank you anyway for that extravagant benefit and blessing of your faithfulness and consistency to us.

And Father, as we get into this word God, we want to eat. We want to dine.

Hey, let us, we need bread Lord. Your word says that we don't live by bread alone but by the words that come out of your mouth.

So build us up edify us God. We want to be filled with your spirit again of fresh too.

Give us clarity where there is confusion God, confidence Lord God where there was a vacillating back and forth God.

You are our hope. You are our strength. You are our everything. So we want to dine and we want practical tools and practical insight Lord that we might be more of a reflection of your light.

And so we thank you. I thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation and inside of knowledge and prophecy and full use of heavens resources to be a blessing to your people today.
