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 --> 00:00:34,560
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:39,000
It is Sunday, November five,
twenty twenty three. Hello, my

9
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:41,759
name is Elle David Harris. I
am your host, and this is your

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,200
Daily Portion where we give you God's
Word every single day, and today is

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,960
no exception. We are continuing in
our Lesson study series. God's mission,

12
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:56,920
my mission, and our caption for
today is to share the good news.

13
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:00,880
To share the good news. Do
you have good news to share? HM,

14
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,319
that's a real question. Do you
have good or great news to share?

15
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:07,400
We'll get into that in just a
moment, but first I'd like to

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:10,640
say welcome to you and ask you
to go over to your Daily Portion dot

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,640
com, join our online community and
Share, Share, share where you are

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,840
in the world. There's a little
form there on the page. And also

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,400
pick up the Your Daily Portion book. It's a way for us to continue

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:29,799
to build faith and fellowship at your
Daily Portion dot com. Let's go ahead

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,640
and pray and then we will get
underway. Father and Heaven, thank you

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,560
for giving us the new opportunity today
to open up your word. And I'm

23
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:44,519
asking you please to teach us to
share share great news about what you are

24
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:49,400
doing in our lives today. In
Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Amen again. Share, Share,
Share, share the great news. Isn't

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,159
it wonderful that God is not asking
us to do anything that we cannot do.

27
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,719
God does not set us up for
failure. He enables us when he

28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,319
bids us. When he bids us, he enables us. You see.

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,240
So God is saying to share what
great things He is doing in our lives

30
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,199
today every opportunity that he provides.
You see, He's not asking us to

31
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,639
do something that's impossible, something we
have to make up, something we have

32
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:29,879
to study. He's saying, what
am I doing in your life? How

33
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:36,719
am I transforming you? And when
you share how He is transforming you then

34
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,000
you will be able to do what
you will be able to share how God

35
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,680
can transform others. If he can
change your life, if he can make

36
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:51,759
you holy when you were unholy,
if he can give you confidence when you

37
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,159
used to lack confidence. Yes,
he can do it for someone else.

38
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,120
So we're going to begin now in
the Book of Luke, chapter twenty.

39
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,280
I'm going to read twelve verses.
If the time permits, let's see how

40
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,319
we can do it. I'm gonna
pace myself and see what God has to

41
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,199
say here. We're reading now verse
one. Now, upon the first day

42
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,000
of the week, very early in
the morning, they came to the sepulcher,

43
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,800
bringing spices which they had prepared,
and certain others with them. Why

44
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,120
were these women going to a tomb
on the day that Jesus said he would

45
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,360
rise from the tomb. So there
is a faith problem in the camp of

46
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,039
the people of God. These women
are looking for Jesus where he said he

47
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,039
would absolutely not be prophetically and then
even while he was with them. Keep

48
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:44,240
going verse two, and they found
the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.

49
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,240
That's what they were supposed to find. And they entered in and found not

50
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:52,599
the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why not? Because he was risen.

51
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,719
He said, I laid down my
life that I may take it again.

52
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,879
And this is the commandment that I
have of my Father. Keep going

53
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,159
verse four, And came to pass
as they were perplexed. Why were they

54
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:10,759
perplexed? About? Thereabout? Behold? Two men stood by them in shining

55
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,879
garments. And as they were afraid
and bowed down their faces to the earth,

56
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,879
they said, unto the men,
they said, unto them, Excuse

57
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,560
me? Why seek ye the living
among the dead? Can I just ask

58
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:28,240
you? Why do you continue?
Brothers and sisters, if this is your

59
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:35,000
case, why do you continue looking
for God in dead places? Why do

60
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:40,399
you keep looking for God in what
you abstain from? Why do you keep

61
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:44,759
looking from to God in your pain? Like? Why do you keep looking

62
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,079
for God in those areas where you
fail? When God is saying, look

63
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,120
to me and live. He's saying
that when you were down, called to

64
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,439
him as the great comforter. Huh. When you are successful, even thank

65
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,240
him for all of this. Says
that he has provided in your life.

66
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,959
When you have suffered loss, look
to Him as the one who restores.

67
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,399
Look to Him among the living.
Don't look to him as always in the

68
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:16,000
pain situations. Look to him as
the ultimate solution. I wish I had

69
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
the time. Let me keep going, And the Bible continues, he is

70
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,319
not here, but has risen.
Remember how he spake unto you when he

71
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:29,639
was yet in Galilee. Look to
Jesus by the way, brothers and sisters

72
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,279
in his promises. Look to him
in your perplexity and wondering why he hasn't

73
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,560
done X y or Z. Look
to him where he said he would do.

74
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Write in the scriptures. There are
thousands of prop part of me,

75
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,360
thousands of promises. Look for him
there. The Bible continues, saying,

76
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:51,279
the son of Man must be delivered
into the hands of sinful men and be

77
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:57,240
crucified. And the third day,
here comes the promise the Lord he will

78
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
rise again. And they remembered his
words, Oh yes, yes, remember

79
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,240
his words, and returned from the
sepulcher and told those things unto the eleven

80
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,079
and to the rest. It was
Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary

81
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,399
the mother of James, and the
other women that were with them, which

82
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:23,000
told these things unto the apostles.
And their words seemed to them as idle

83
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,519
tales. And they believed them not? Then a rose Peter, why did

84
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
they not believe? And then a
rose Peter and ran to the sepulcher,

85
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,040
and stooping down, he beheld the
linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,

86
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,040
wondering in himself at that which was
come to pass. Why is he

87
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,879
wondering so many questions today? Why
is he wondering? Why is he wondering?

88
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,319
How God did exactly what he said
he would do. Okay, so

89
00:06:53,399 --> 00:07:00,040
let's look at our our action steps
for today. First, come to the

90
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,639
tomb. That means, in this
case, seek God personally and ultimately,

91
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,800
they were looking for Jesus even though
they were looking for him to still be

92
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,000
in the tomb resting, but they
did come to the tomb. That's a

93
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,959
good start, right. Dedicate a
time to personally seek and understand. Now

94
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:23,639
we're looking for the significance of Jesus's
resurrection in your life. So we can

95
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,399
go back to the tomb in the
scriptures and say, Okay, God,

96
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:30,800
I'm searching for you here, but
your risen. You're not dead but alive.

97
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:38,600
How can that transform your life?
So dedicate time to personally seeking understanding

98
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
of the resurrection in your life.
Can I just start you off here?

99
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,519
Can you just permit me to start
you off here? Yeah? So the

100
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Bible says that when we die to
sin in Romans chapter three and other places

101
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Romans chapter six, when we die
to sin, we can be alive to

102
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Christ. Galatians chapter tie two also
says the same thing. When we die

103
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,959
to sin, we are raised together
with Christ. And Paul said to be

104
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:13,240
seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. So if you want to live,

105
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,920
you have to allow some things in
your life to die. Yeah, okay,

106
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,639
let me go to another one number
two. Remember his words that means

107
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:26,360
to meditate on God's promises. I
started you there, Remember in verse eight

108
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,559
of chapter twenty four of Luke.
And they remembered his words. Regularly recall

109
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,600
and meditate upon the promises of God. Remind him God, you said,

110
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,320
you said that you have never you
have said through inspiration. David said,

111
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,559
I've been young and I've been old. Never have I seen the righteous forsaken,

112
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,360
nor see begging bread. You said
that you are the resurrection and the

113
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,320
life, and those who believe in
you. Though he were dead, yet

114
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,039
shall he live? Lord? My
faith is dead. But you said that

115
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,480
I can live that. He said, believest thou this, And so this

116
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,480
is what we do. We recall
and meditate upon the promises of God,

117
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:16,279
and then let them guide your faith
and actions, and of course the ultimate

118
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Here share what you have witnessed,
proclaim the gospel, the great news of

119
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,559
Jesus Christ being able to deliver wicked
and dying sinners and make us holy and

120
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:35,039
fully living saints. And they returned
from the sepulcher and told these things.

121
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,840
We return from the sepulcher and tell
what great things the Lord is doing for

122
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:46,279
us. Have a wonderful day,
peace. Thanks for joining us listening.

123
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,159
Friends. Always remember we cannot live
by bread alone, but by every word

124
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,320
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with

125
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
el David Harris. Make it a
great day. Yeah,
