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 some of the realities in today's world.

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, Glint and Doyle and more.

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.

Hallelujah. Yes, there's something about that name. It's good. It's good to my soul. Hallelujah.

Well, family, listen, I've got a word from God today and I've been praying about this word. I've been sitting on this word for several days and I really believe that if you tune in and you really hear what the Spirit is saying to you, I believe that God's going to draw you near to him in such a way that things are going to open up for you unlike ever before.

I believe that this is going to be the solution and the answer to something that you have been wrestling with. You've been trying to get to the next level. You've been trying to experience a dimension of breakthrough and you've tried everything except this.

And I believe it's going to bless you. And so I want to draw your attention to a passage of Scripture. It's not an unfamiliar passage of Scripture. We've heard this before. We've preached before.

But there are some truths that we're going to unpack. And so let's go right now to judges the 16th chapter and we're going to read verse 28 through 30. Of course, you'd have to read the whole 16th chapter to get it in its context.

But we're going to start here. We're going to have a conversation. God's going to move in your life. You're going to be blessed and edified.

So let's get right into it. Judges 16 verse 28. It says, then Samson called to the Lord saying, Oh Lord God, remember me, I pray. Strengthen me, I pray. Just this once. Oh God that I may with one blow take vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes. They had taken his eyes out.

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple. And he braced himself against them one on his right and the other on his left. Then Samson said, let me die with the Philistines.

And he pushed with all his might and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it so that the dead he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life. Hallelujah.

Today I want to talk about the beauty of brokenness, the beauty of brokenness. Let's pray.

Father, thank you so much for your word. It is food for us. It edifies us. God here in this moment, I want you to prepare a table with all sorts of bread and and refreshing water and everything that your sons and daughters need to be strengthened to be made new to be renewed and to have their minds transformed in such a way that it would create breakthrough in their life.

Father, I thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation inside knowledge. And I thank you, God, that through these lips, I will connect with heaven and living water will flow and it will bless your sons and daughters as they engage.

We love you. We thank you. We consider it done in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. In 2014, I wrote my sophomore book. It was my second book and it was called Holness.

And the book Holness was all about discovering, identifying and uncovering brokenness that often hides in our blind spots. And I talked about how brokenness limits us and how if we don't address brokenness, then we won't have the life that God has called us to have.
