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 --> 00:00:34,240
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,640
three. Hello, my name is
El David Harris. I am your host,

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,439
and this is your Daily Portion where
we give you God's word every single

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,759
day, and today is no exception. We are continuing in the last week,

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,679
or the final week of our Lesson
study series. God's Mission, my

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,240
mission, and our caption for today
is Revelation, God's Last Day Mission.

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,000
Revelation, God's Last Day Mission.
We'll get into that in just a moment,

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,439
but first I'd like to say welcome, welcome, welcome to you,

16
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:15,560
and I'm thankful that you are alive
with me to begin another work week together

17
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,799
and God is opening his word to
our mind. As we prepare for this

18
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,040
word, I'm asking you to go
over to your Daily Portion dot com join

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,599

22
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,959
Father and Heaven, thank you for
giving us this new day and for

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,879
the privilege that you have entrusted to
us to open your word. And I'm

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,959
asking you, Father, please give
us understanding and your Holy Spirit please teach

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,280
us to love you, give us
the revelation of your will. In Jesus'

26
00:01:53,359 --> 00:02:00,439
name. I pray, Amen and
a man again. I love, I

27
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:06,560
love, love love the Book of
Revelation. And it's not probably because of

28
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:08,439
what a lot of people love it
for, right, I just do.

29
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,639
And I think I will share some
of that while I am reading from the

30
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,199
Book of Revelation, chapter one,
verses one through seven. Maybe you can

31
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,039
type in the chat why you think
I love the Book of Revelation, Right,

32
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,599
Okay, So I begin now in
verse one the revelation of Jesus Christ,

33
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,199
which God gave unto him to show
unto his servants the things which shortly

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,919
must come to past, and he
sent and signified it by his angel unto

35
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,439
a servant John. Let me just
share. Yeah, the revelation of Jesus

36
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Christ is how the book opens.
Sometimes people call it revelation of Saint John

37
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,039
the Divine, the revelation people the
way some of us preach this thing,

38
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,919
some people make it seem like it's
the revelation of the scary things that are

39
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,039
going to blow up and burned down
and all of the negative things and emotions

40
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240
that come with that. Like people
make it seem like this is a revelation

41
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,120
of the way things are going to
be when things are as terrible as they

42
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,759
can possibly get. And I'm like, is that what you got out of

43
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,080
the book? When God made it
very clear that this is the revelation of

44
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:24,479
Jesus Christ. God is manifesting his
character in a way that we have never

45
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,319
seen before through the person and work
of Jesus Christ, including the ministry that

46
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:38,560
Jesus is doing in twenty twenty three, that's what you got out of it?

47
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,560
And look, God is so good
And you want to say, really,

48
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,319
why is God so good? Like
how good is he? Dave.

49
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:52,039
He's so good that he allowed the
mission to be manifest through Jesus Christ.

50
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,520
And then comes this angel Gabriel,
who is now teaching John, God's servant,

51
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:03,039
John the word of God the testimony
of Jesus Christ in all things that

52
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:08,360
he had seen. And it doesn't
stop there. It gets better Verse three.

53
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Blessed is he that readeth? Are
you reading it? Brothers and sisters?

54
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,639
I know it, says he sisters. Blessed is she that readeth?

55
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,720
Are you reading the revelation of Jesus
Christ? Blessed? The Bible says for

56
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,360
those who read the book right,
and they that hear the words of this

57
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:30,399
prophecy? Are you hearing and listening
to the words of this prophecy? Bible

58
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,360
says, If so, you are
blessed. I'm thinking this is a good

59
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,720
reason. And keep those things which
are written therein. Are you keeping the

60
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,519
things that are written therein? Are
you reading? Are you listening to the

61
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,360
words of the prophecy? Are you
keeping the things that are written in this

62
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,879
book, this prophecy, this revelation
of Jesus Christ. If so, then

63
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,879
you are triple blessed. You are
triple blessed. Are you typing in the

64
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:59,160
chat. Why you think this is
such an incredible book? To me,

65
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Ah, you are triple blessed if
you are reading and hearing and listening to

66
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,279
right and doing or keeping the things
that are written therein Why for the time

67
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,319
is at hand. We have no
time to be playing around brothers and sisters.

68
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:19,800
The time is at hand. Part
of me. Verse four, John

69
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:25,160
to the seven churches which are in
Asia. Grace be unto you. That

70
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,560
is God's power, so we can
do his will. Yes, that is

71
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,360
unmerited favor and mercy, all mixed
in with the power of God to do

72
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:36,680
his will, and peace that comes
through Jesus Christ. Yes, from him,

73
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,759
which was oh wix part of me, I'm getting ahead of myself.

74
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,680
That's not what it says. From
Him which is and which was, and

75
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,360
which is to come, and from
the seven spirits which are before the throne.

76
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Can I just pause right here about
the one from the one who was,

77
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,639
is and is to come, the
One who is and was and is

78
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,879
to come. That means that when
when you look at your life today,

79
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:08,000
the One who is and Jesus Christ
is here. You look at your life

80
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,240
today, the trials and tribulations you
encounter, the victories that you win because

81
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,600
of him. It is because he
is here present with you right now on

82
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:20,600
December twenty fourth, twenty twenty three. It's because he is. He just

83
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,519
is. In the Book of Exodus, the Bible says, I am,

84
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,279
tell the people, Tell my people, I AM have sent me unto you.

85
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:32,439
This is when Moses was saying,
but God, who should I say

86
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480
sent me? He said, tell
him, I am that I am like

87
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,160
I am is. Thus shout,
they'll say, unto the children of Israel,

88
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,560
I am hath sent me unto you. I'm so excited. I done

89
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,759
lost my page, right, I
done lost my page. But anyway,

90
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,600
the Bible says also that he is, he is and was. That means

91
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,600
at every time in history Jesus was. When he says I am, that

92
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800
means he's eternal AI and he is
to come. So whatever happened to you

93
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:10,680
in your past, whatever happened in
the generations before you, your grandparents,

94
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,920
and to one hundred generations in the
past, all the way back to Adam,

95
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,000
and all the way beyond Adam to
when there were no humans on planet

96
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Earth and only celestial beings existed,
Jesus was there. Why because he's the

97
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240
one who was, who is,
and is to come. He's the creator

98
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,959
of all. In Micah chapter five, the Bible teaches us that he's eternal.

99
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Like he is eternal. He is
eternal, and therefore even he was

100
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,399
back then and he is to come. That means anything that comes in your

101
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,680
future or in the future of anyone
you know or do not know, Jesus

102
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:51,319
will be there. He is eternal, just like God, our father.

103
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:57,120
Blessed be his name. Can you
see why this book is so incredible.

104
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,720
We see the revelation of God's way. We see the revelation of the character

105
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,879
of God in the face of Jesus
Christ. We see the revelation of the

106
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:13,160
mission of Jesus Christ to this planet
and beyond, because of course his mission

107
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,759
and ministry was even to celestial beings, to angels. And oh, my

108
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,800
goodness, we just don't have the
time today, but I'll come back to

109
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,560
that at some point. Yes,
and of course, is to come anything

110
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,920
anytime in the future. Jesus is
there. He has already seen and is

111
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:37,840
currently experiencing all that will happen in
the eternal future. Therefore, his plan

112
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,279
for your life is complete. There
is nothing that he has not already prepared

113
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,440
for in your life. He is
not being awakened by some alarm in the

114
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,440
cosmic universe that says, oh,
my goodness, let me go back and

115
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,080
see how can I be of service
to those people down there. No,

116
00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:00,759
it is a blessing to know that
the one who was, and is and

117
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,120
is to come, God, Almighty
God, the Sun. In this case,

118
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,120
Jesus Christ is ever present and ever
present help for your time of need.

119
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,720
And we continue now in verse four. Now, John, to the

120
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,000
seven churches which are in Asia,
Grace and peace be unto you from Him

121
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:24,759
who which was and is and is
to come, from the seventh spirits which

122
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,159
are before the Throne, and from
Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness.

123
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,159
I'm thankful, and the first begotten
of the dead, and the Prince

124
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,440
of the kings of the earth.
Unto him who loved us and washed us

125
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,320
from our sins in his own blood. We'll continue with this message as the

126
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:46,879
days continue. Peace. Thanks for
joining us listening. Friends. Always remember

127
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,919
we cannot live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the

128
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,399
mouth of God. This has been
your daily portion with el David Harris,

129
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,279
make it a great day. Yeah,
