1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,400
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna, the word of God to keep

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
us through today's challenges. On this
program, we are going to change all

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,160
of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,839
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome
to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,719
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,520
It is Friday, March fifteen,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,560
name is El David Harris. I
am your host, and this is your

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,920

word every single day and today is no

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:51,600
exception. We are continuing in our
Lesson study series through the Book of Psalms,

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,079
and our caption for today is all
Things New, All Things New.

13
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,039
We'll get into that, and just
a moment before we do, I'd just

14
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:07,040
like to say happy, Happy Preparation
day to everyone listening or watching wherever you

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,480

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,400

20
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:30,319
then we will get underway. Father
and Heaven. Thank you for this new

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,280
day and for the privilege we have
to open up your word. As I

22
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,599
say always, please make us anew
in Jesus' name, I pray, Amen

23
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,480
and Amen again, all things new. All right, So we are going

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,280
to read from the book Great Controversy, page six hundred and seventy seven,

25
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:57,000
and then open up the word.
Okay, and so the quote goes this

26
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:05,719
way, there immortal minds will contemplate
with never failing delight, the wonders of

27
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:13,639
creative power, the mysteries of redeeming
love. Okay. There is no cruel,

28
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,960
deceiving foe to tempt to forgetfulness of
God. So let me just say

29
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,520
when God created the heavens and the
earth right, and then of course we're

30
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,360
focusing on the earth part. And
Adam and Eve were in the garden of

31
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,560
Eden. I don't know if you
want to call it the capital of the

32
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,719
world, but it was the capital
probably in my mind, that's how I

33
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:37,400
see it. The capital of the
world, capital of the earth. And

34
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:44,680
so that was their home. And
the devil was allowed in one spot to

35
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,960
tempt them, just one spot,
at the tree of the knowledge of good

36
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:58,000
and evil. And so even in
a perfect environment, where relationship with God

37
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:05,159
and humanity was perfect, the enemy
was allowed to lurk just for a prescribed

38
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:10,879
amount of time. And in that
moment, Eve decided to follow what the

39
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,120
serpent said and then pass along to
Adam. And then Adam listened to Eve,

40
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,560
and then the rest is history.
And so there there was a failing

41
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:27,599
delight because Adam chose to sin.
You see, the wonders of creative power

42
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:32,759
started to dim in the minds of
humanity. Why because humans decided to sin.

43
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:38,159
But when God does this again,
I want you to look forward to

44
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:43,840
the day when God creates or recreates
this earth. It's called the Earth made

45
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,840
new. Yes, in the Holy
City New Jerusalem will come down from God

46
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,080
out of Heaven. And then at
the appropriate time, once God has cleansed

47
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,800
and then recreates the earth, that
Holy City will set in the new Earth

48
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:04,560
that will be again the capital of
this world. There, let me read

49
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,879
it again. Immortal minds will contemplate
with never ending delight, the wonders of

50
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,160
creative power, the mysteries of redeeming
love. There is no cruel, deceiving

51
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,240
foe to tempt to forgetfulness of God. No one to say, yea have

52
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,199
God said and then insinuate doubt.
Ah. No one to say, if

53
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,319
ye be the son of God,
then do this thing that is actually ungodly

54
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,720
you see. No one to tempt
you to shut off this program and say,

55
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,480
but this doesn't sound like anything that
I've not heard before. Ah.

56
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,319
But you want to be in the
presence of God. And there are people

57
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,120
all over the world listening and watching
now. And God said, whether two

58
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,959
or three are gathered together in God's
name, he is in the midst of

59
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:53,199
us. Ah. No one to
tempt you to think that God is not

60
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,600
listening, because after all, I've
tried everything that you people keep asking me

61
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,560
to do, and I still feel
like God is not listening to me.

62
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,439
No more foe to tempt us to
forget what great things God has done for

63
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:13,639
us. Continuing the quote, every
faculty will be developed, every capacity increased.

64
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,120
The acquirement of knowledge will not weary
the mind or exhaust the energies.

65
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:27,439
There, the grandest enterprises may be
carried forward, the loftiest aspirations reached,

66
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,120
the highest ambitions realized. And still
there will arise new heights to surmount,

67
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:40,839
new wonders, to admire new truths, to comprehend fresh objects, to call

68
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,839
forth the powers of the mind and
soul and body. That is the end

69
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,079
of the quote. Yes, have
you ever felt like a caged bird,

70
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:56,040
as a caged lion? And you
feel like your potential has been limited by

71
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,000
various factors? And I'm not saying
that we are limited inasmuch as our human

72
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:09,839
capacity can accept. But beyond this
is what we're talking about, Beyond what

73
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680
we're able to do now. Like
now, I have to actually rest.

74
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,399
I go to bed most of the
time at eight pm, and then I

75
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,759
get up bright and early, well
I can't even say bright because it's still

76
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,319
dark outside, but early in the
morning three am, and I'm back at

77
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,360
it again. I'm with you,
I am with coaching clients, I am

78
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:30,240
doing whatever I need to do to
make an impact on the world for christ

79
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,439
Ah. But then I have to
eat. I have to rest again.

80
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,240
I have to go to sleep at
night and rinse and repeat, and your

81
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,439
story is very similar to mine.
What we're saying here is even where you

82
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,199
can achieve your greatest capacity as a
human, there are still things like tiredness

83
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,360
and sickness, and the fact that
there are things in the environment that will

84
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,160
impact us that we cannot control.
Neither can we resist. We have to

85
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:03,079
exercise, we have to eat right, drink clear and pure water, softer

86
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,160
the better, and so forth and
so on. But there, over there,

87
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,439
there will be no more sin,
There will be no more sickness.

88
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,560
There will be no more limitations,
no more need for currency ha, no

89
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,480
more have or have not disparity,
no more orphans ha, no more widows

90
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:26,439
and widowers, no more people who
are feeling like they cannot connect with God.

91
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,839
Why because he said that he will
be with them and be their god.

92
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,720
Ha. He said that he will
set himself in the midst of her

93
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,319
his people. And I'm looking forward
to the day. I'm looking forward to

94
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,199
the day all things new. And
for people who are thinking we're going to

95
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,279
just hit the reset button and go
back to the time Ah that Adam and

96
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,839
Eve lived on planet Earth, that
means you would have missed the point where

97
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:58,600
Adam and Eve failed and did not
continue to grow in perfection. We will

98
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:07,839
continue to grow in perfection throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity. We will finally

99
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120
live in the way that God intended
from before there was a beginning. You

100
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,920
see what I'm saying, all right? And so in the Book of Isaiah,

101
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,040
and I'd like for you to read
the entire chapter in your spare time,

102
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,160
we see something very clear. Beginning
at verse one. Listen to me,

103
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,759
you who pursue godliness, who seek
the Lord. Look at the rock

104
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,560
from which you were chiseled and the
quarry from which you were doug. Look

105
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,039
at Abraham, your father, and
Sarah, who gave birth to you.

106
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,519
When I summoned you. He was
lone individual, but I blessed him and

107
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:45,320
gave him numerous descendants. And then
the discussion continues and continues to see that

108
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,519
God has kept his promise. He
promised to Abraham that he would make of

109
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,080
him a great nation, an innumerable
multitude, like the sands by the seashore,

110
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,519
like the stars in the sky.
Those who say yes to God and

111
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:07,919
keep covenant with God, they are
the children of God with the same kind

112
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,080
of faith that God gave to Abraham. And guess what we become recipients of

113
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,320
the same promise that God made to
Father Abraham. And I'm so grateful.

114
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,759
I'm so grateful that again there will
be no limits on love. There will

115
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:28,240
be no limits on our potential,
there will be no limits on our energy,

116
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,679
no limits on the amount of what
we will learn about God, because

117
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,759
why, all things will be new. In the meantime, God wants us

118
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,279
to live to our fullest potential and
beyond. Have a wonderful day, peace.

119
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,039
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by

120
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,720
bread alone, but by every word
that comes from the mouth of God.

121
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720
This has been your daily portion with
el David Harris. Make it a great

122
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,279
day. Yeah,
