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 --> 00:00:15,640
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna the word of God to keep us

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,239
through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,399
that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,359
healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to
your Daily Portion with your host, author

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,280
exception. We are continuing in our
new Lesson study series through the Book of

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,960
Mark, and our caption for today
is an unforgettable worship service. An unforgettable

13
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,320
worship service. We'll get into that
in just a moment, but first I

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,480
would like to say welcome to you
and ask you to please go over to

17
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,319
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

18
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:23,120
then we will get underway. Father

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,200
this new day and for the opportunity
to work Lord or volunteer be of assistance

20
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:33,840
to someone today. I pray God
that you will give us unforgettable worship experiences

21
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:42,159
with you. In Jesus's name,
I pray Amen and Amen again an unforgettable

22
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:49,840
worship service. Let me change the
term to experience an unforgettable worship experience.

23
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,680
When was the last time that you
had an unforgettable worship experience with God?

24
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,239
I want you to fix that time
in your mind. When was it that

25
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:07,200
you had an unforgettable worship experience with
God? Okay? I want you to

26
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,800
write down the time or the date, if you knew the date, if

27
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,919
it was while you were alone,
while you were in the congregation of other

28
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,439
believers, if you were in a
vehicle or on your way somewhere, what

29
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,479
was what was it that made it
unforgettable? And then I want you to

30
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,400
write down not only when was it
or where you were what made it unforgettable?

31
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:37,520
But what was the outcome? Why
was it unforgettable? Yes? But

32
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:44,240
what was the outcome, because a
lot of times people have unforgettable experiences and

33
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,759
can't really think about what what the
outcome was, like, what was it

34
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,560
that God did in your life?
What changed? What action came as a

35
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:57,240
result, what was the influence that
you had on other people as a result,

36
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,840
or you know, fill in the
blank. So this is what I

37
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,240
want you to do. Okay,
write these things down and then pray and

38
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,639
ask God, can you give me
more of these Can you change my life

39
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,800
in such a way that I have
unforgettable worship experiences with you on a regular

40
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,240
basis. All right, so let's
go into the lesson, and we're going

41
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,639
to the Bible Book of Mark,
of course, the Book of Mark,

42
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,840
and we're going to read Mark chapter
one, beginning at verse twenty one,

43
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,879
about an experience that someone had.
Okay, and the Bible reads and they

44
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:40,360
went into Capernium and straightway on the
Sabbath day, he entered into the synagogue

45
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,319
and taught. And they were astonished
at his doctrine, for he taught them

46
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,199
as one having authority, not as
the scribes. So they were accustomed to

47
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000
hearing people bump their gums and talk
about things related to God, but not

48
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,360
with authority, not with transformational power. They continued. They continued, and

49
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,719
there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit, and he cried

50
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:11,759
out, let me ask you a
question. Have you ever been in a

51
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,759
worship setting where someone was bound by
unclean spirits? I can say that has

52
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560
happened to me. H, not
to me. But what I'm saying,

53
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,720
I've been in the experience like this
when we were at trench Town Church,

54
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,000
as I was a member there and
an elder on multiple occasions. This is

55
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:35,759
what we experienced. And God did
miraculous things brothers and sisters, because He

56
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,519
is powerful, Blessed be his name. Okay, and so an unclean spirit,

57
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,040
and he cried out saying, let
us alone, what have we to

58
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,240
do with thee thou Jesus of Nazareth, And art thou come to destroy us?

59
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,360
I know THEE who thou art,
the Holy One of God. So

60
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,199
Jesus was entering into the early part
of his ministry, and this is what

61
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,800
he encounters in the worship setting as
he is teaching the truth to people so

62
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,480
they can be set free from all
kinds of evil and bondage and oppressive thoughts

63
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:15,279
and mindset. And this is how
the devil chose to disturb the worship service,

64
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,879
the Bible continues, and Jesus rebuked
him. What did he do?

65
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:26,160
The Bible says that Jesus rebuked him. They didn't play an organ, They

66
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,959
did not have some fancy service as
a result of whatever they were experiencing.

67
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,240
They didn't say, bring the cameras
here and get all all proud and bosy.

68
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,240
They did not do any of that. Jesus rebuked him and said,

69
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,680
hold thy peace. You are not
free to speak here with the same authority

70
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,199
that spoke worlds into existence, the
same authority that said let there be light,

71
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,560
and there was light with that same
authority. Jesus, Yes, I

72
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,360
did, say Jesus. I am
aware that Gesus was on planet Earth.

73
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:05,279
I am aware that Jesus was clothed
in humanity. So for those of you

74
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:12,240
who have been a part of certain
spiritual fellowships, and people say that Jesus

75
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,600
left his power in heaven, now
I need you to explain to them very

76
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,079
clearly that there is no way that
Jesus, the Son of God, or

77
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:28,120
God the Son had less power as
he lived on planet Earth. And true

78
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:33,160
there were experiences where he had to
be as a human when he needed to

79
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,319
eat and drink and rest and be
encouraged, and all of that, he

80
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,120
functioned fully as a human being.
He did not use any power that you

81
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,120
cannot use to rely on God,
our Father as he struggled through this human

82
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:54,120
predigament. But when he spoke to
those devils, he wasn't speaking as a

83
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,319
mere human. He spoke as the
one who created those angels, who were

84
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:02,560
holy when he created them. And
he did what. He rebuked them,

85
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,560
saying, hold thy peace and come
out of him. And guess what.

86
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,480
And when the unclean spirit had torn
him and cried with a loud voice,

87
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,480
he did the only thing that he
could do, because Jesus was speaking.

88
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:23,160
He came out of him. And
they were all amazed, insomuch that they

89
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:29,360
questioned among themselves, saying, what
thing is this? What new doctrine is

90
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:35,839
this? For with authority commandeth he
even unclean spirits, and they do obey

91
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,519
him. And immediately his fame spread
abroad throughout all the region. About Galilee,

92
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,199
I asked you a question in the
beginning, have you ever had had

93
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:55,959
an unforgettable experience in worship? Can
you remember the day that God set you

94
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,519
free? It may not have been
as a dramatic is this or maybe it

95
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,000
was because Mary Magdalene she had experiences
like these multiple times. People that I

96
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,959
know have had experiences. People I've
read about have had experiences like these.

97
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,519
And so God has the same authority
today that he did. Then he has

98
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,879
not run out of power. What
made your experience in worship unforgettable? Now

99
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,000
I did ask you another question.
I said, what was the outcome?

100
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,320
You See, this man was delivered, but he was delivered to do God's

101
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,799
will. He was delivered to move
into his life and to become a witness

102
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,759
to people of what great things God
can do in the life of a person

103
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:50,080
that he comes and delivers. Yes, And so when God does something amazing

104
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:54,519
in your life, God has given
you the opportunity, has given me the

105
00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:00,120
opportunity to praise him. There are
many times that I have prayed for for

106
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,080
certain things and people, and I've
said, God, when you do this,

107
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,039
will you give us a mouth with
which to praise you? Will you

108
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,960
give us a mouth with which to
praise you? And so not only did

109
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Jesus speak words from scripture with authority, but he also was able to move

110
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,039
into supernatural with authority. So what
does that mean for me? That means

111
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:30,120
that I don't have to worry about
my mindset anymore, because with authority Jesus

112
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,679
can change my mindset if I yield
to him. I don't have to worry

113
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,840
about the bad words or the other
things that I've done in the past because

114
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,720
with authority, Jesus can change me
if I yield to him. So if

115
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,759
you want an unforgettable experience with God, then just continue. Thanks for joining

116
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,120
us listening to friends. Always remember
we cannot live by bread alone, but

117
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,320
by every word that comes from the
mouth of God. This has been your

118
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with El David Harris.
Make it a great day. Yeah,
