1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,599
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much, because yesterday's

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,480
food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:15,039
some of us expect yesterday's portion of
heavenly manna, the word of God to

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,879
keep us through today's challenges. On
this program, we are going to change

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,039
all of that. Let's experience God's
words today and receive the power we need

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,839
to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,200
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,759
morning. It is Thursday, May
nine, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,600
my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,200
your Daily Portion where we give you
God's word every single day, and today

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,439
is no exception. We are continuing
in our lesson study series the Great Controversy.

12
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:57,960
Our caption for today is truth triumpphent. May I say that again truth

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,280
Triumphant into that in just a moment, But first I'd like to say welcome

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,959
to you and ask you to please
go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

15
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:12,519
This is where we have our discussion
concerning these studies, and every morning

16
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:17,560
you will see a post that says
we're live it's Thursday morning, it's Friday

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,519
morning, whatever day it is.
And then after we are done with our

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,959
broadcast, you'll see, well,
what are your takeaways? One please at

19
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,920
least one, but maybe up to
three. So just go ahead and continue

20
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,079
to follow those posts, and then
we can continue to build faith and fellowship

21
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,879
there. Also, please pick up
the your daily portion book and let us

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,680
know where you are in the world. And I am privileged that we can

23
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,040
come together in this fashion. Let's
go ahead and pray, and then we

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,959
will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,719
Thursday morning, and for the blessing
that you have given us to see what

26
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,280
the truth really is and to live
in I pray God that you will give

27
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:01,599
us understanding, but not just understanding, help us to have a will to

28
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,439
do what you have called us to
do. In Jesus' name, I pray,

29
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:13,680
Amen and Amen again. Truth triumphant. I typed. Oh, actually

30
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:15,919
I didn't type. I hand wrote. I hand wrote on my lesson.

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,039
What an encouraging word. I underscored
word. I made it bolder. I

32
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,479
wrote it and read and put an
exclamation point. Because listen, the fact

33
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,840
is that we sometimes will say I
have the truth or we have the truth.

34
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,479
When we speak of our particular faith
fellowship, we say we have the

35
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:43,400
truth. And I remembers Pastor Nixon. Pastor Nixon one time back in the

36
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,479
nineties in DC at the Capitol Hill
Seventh day Adventist Church, that's John Nixon

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Senior. He said, we say
we have the truth, we have the

38
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:58,479
truth, and well, what is
the truth. And it's like what you're

39
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,599
asking a set of people inside of
a church, what is truth? Yeah?

40
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,960
And what he and another pastor friend
of mine, Pastor Will Smith,

41
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,719
he was also a Bible worker in
the Potomac Conference, he also said,

42
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:17,039
the truth is this. Jesus is
the truth. Remember, he said,

43
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,520
I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh

44
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:27,520
unto the Father but by Me.
So we have Jesus number one and primarily

45
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,080
as the truth. And of course
he said in his prayer, his prayer,

46
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:37,199
his high priestly prayer as we call
it, Father sanctified them by thy

47
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,439
truth. Thy word is truth.
So we have Jesus Christ as the truth,

48
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,240
the ultimate of truth, epitome of
truth. We have the Word of

49
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,240
God as truth. And then David
in the Psalms said, thy word not

50
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,199
thy word. The commandments are truth. So Jesus the truth, the word

51
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,800
of God as a whole the truth, and then in particular the ten commandments,

52
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,400
they are truth. And so when
the truth is triumphing, we know

53
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,439
that it is because of Christ.
We know because his word does not return

54
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,240
unto him void. We know that
his ten commandments, which are ten promises,

55
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,000
are also the transcript of his character, God's character, and they are

56
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,639
imprinted and blazoned, if you will, carved on the fleshy tables of our

57
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,160
hearts. So the word is truth. Jesus is truth, His commandments are

58
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,279
truth. And so the lesson writer
actually said this, I'll read just a

59
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,279
few lines here. Despite the attacks
of the enemy, now you understand what

60
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,240
truth is. God's work on earth
will come to a glorious climax. So

61
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,000
let me just pause right here to
acknowledge the fact that the Holy Ghost is

62
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,959
taking you and he's taking me along
a pathway. It's the path of righteousness,

63
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,279
right, It's a journ that will
guide us, and if we will

64
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:08,199
cooperate with God, we will reach
the ultimate climax, which is eternity with

65
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,839
God. Eternal relationship with God,
never being separated by sin ever again?

66
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,639
Yes, and so continuing, the
gospel will be preached. According to Revelation

67
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,800
chapter fourteen and verse six, the
Gospel will be preached to every nation,

68
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:32,439
tribe, tongue, and people.
The great controversy between Christ and Satan will

69
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,040
end. Are you looking forward to
the end? Yes? How will it

70
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:44,000
end? Between Christ and Satan?
Will end with Christ completely defeating the powers

71
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:48,680
of the enemy. Did you get
that God's kingdom will triumph over evil and

72
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:55,560
sin will be eradicated forever from the
entire universe. This is why I call

73
00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:00,639
this an encouraging word, like truth
triumphant in my life means that God will

74
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,959
eradicate everything that separates between us,
nothing between my soul and the Savior.

75
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:10,800
Ever heard that him? Look it
up if you've not heard it. Very

76
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,720
very encouraging words. But this is
coming, and it's coming very soon.

77
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:21,439
But the question is is God fulfilling
that reality in my life today? Is

78
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,279
He fulfilling his power to defeat the
enemy in my life today? And maybe

79
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,639
I said it wrong? Am I
allowing him? Maybe that's the better way

80
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:39,680
to say it. Am I allowing
God to manifest that reality, that power

81
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,360
in my life today to defeat the
enemy in my life today, when I'm

82
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,759
making decisions about how I will and
will not treat my wife today of almost

83
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:54,120
twenty three years, how I will
and will not treat my son today,

84
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,199
How I will and will not treat
you when I meet you on the road,

85
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,319
Or people that are of unsavory character
traits because they have not allowed God

86
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,800
to become a God to them and
Lord and savior to them, and they

87
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:12,920
behave violently or in some other way
that I don't appreciate necessarily? Is God

88
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:15,639
winning in my life? Am I
allowing him to in the way that I

89
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:20,120
use the resources that He entrusts to
me? Is He winning in my life?

90
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:24,959
How I am able to do?
Fill in the blank? Is it

91
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:29,319
positive? Or is it something that
I have left undone? When God gave

92
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,199
me very clear guidance. Right,
so His truth must triumph and can in

93
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:40,519
our lives now. In Revelation chapter
eleven, verses fifteen through eighteen, the

94
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240
Bible reads, and the seventh Angel
sounded, and there were great voices in

95
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:47,439
heaven saying, the kingdoms of this
world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,

96
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,199
thank you, and of his Christ. And he shall reign forever and

97
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:58,600
ever. Is he reigning in your
life today on this day in the month

98
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,639
of May, like is he living
and reigning in your life? Verse sixteen.

99
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,199
And the four and twenty elders which
sat before the before God on their

100
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,240
seats, fell upon their faces and
worship God. Are you a worshiper?

101
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,040
Do you worship God? Brothers and
sisters? Have you yielded your will to

102
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:22,199
Him? And if you haven't,
if you are trying to yield your will

103
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,959
to him, then just talk to
him about and say, God, I'm

104
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,879
messing up, Like I really want
to yield my will to you, but

105
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:31,759
I find myself still grabbing and holding
on to things that don't please you.

106
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,879
Will you help me? Will you
make me a worshiper Verse seventeen, saying

107
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200
we give thee thanks, O,
Lord God Almighty, which art and wast

108
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:48,000
and art to come, because thou
hast taken to thee thy great power and

109
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,840
has reigned Verse eighteen. And the
nations were angry, and their wrath is

110
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
come, and the time of the
dead, that they should be judged,

111
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,080
that thou shouldst give reward unto the
servants, the prophets, and to the

112
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,840
saints, and to them that fear
Thy name small and great, and should

113
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:09,039
have destroyed them which destroy the earth. You see, a day of reckoning

114
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,120
is coming, right, a day
of reckoning is coming when God will manifest

115
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,480
his victory in a way that we
have never seen before. We've seen his

116
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:22,799
victory, yes, but the devil's
still running free down here for our moment.

117
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,559
Ah, But one day we will
see when Jesus comes and he takes

118
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,960
his children to heaven for a thousand
years. And after the thousand years are

119
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,399
finished, we will finally see the
truth triumph in a way that we've never

120
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,000
seen before. Sin and sinner's unrepentant
sinners will be no more, and finally

121
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,279
the pulse of love will be in
all. Thanks for joining us listening.

122
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,159
Friends, Always remember we cannot live
by bread alone, but by every word

123
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,320
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with

124
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
el David Harris. Make it a
great day, Yeah,
