1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,559
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 --> 00:00:15,080
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 --> 00:00:34,079

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,679
in this quarter's lesson the Great Controverseye. And yeah, before we begin with

14
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,359
prayer, I'd like to welcome everyone

way that we can continue to build
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,760
pray and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven. Thank you for

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,560
giving us this new day and for
the privilege that you have entrusted to us

23
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,200
to open your word. And I'm
asking you, Father, please give us

24
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:49,200
the fullness of your holy spirit,
teach us how to serve and to love

25
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,200
you with everything that we are,
and finally, finally make our decision today

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,719
to serve you for the rest of
eternity. In Jesus name, I pray,

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Amen and Amen again listen. I
have said to you that I am

28
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,879
a very particular and logical, systematic
kind of guy. Mm hmmm. Whereas

29
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,960
I do have feelings, I also
have an intellectual mind that just some things

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,599
just need to make sense to me. And eternity with God makes a lot

31
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:25,520
of sense to me. And I'm
sharing that with you because eternity away from

32
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,400
God, meaning eternal death penalty is
not sensible to me. It's not the

33
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:37,120
sensible option. Why would I choose
pain and sickness throughout my lifetime and then

34
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,680
have to suffer the reality that I've
separated myself from God and then be destroyed

35
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,360
in the end. Like that doesn't
make no sense to me. And I

36
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:51,120
know I can speak English and I
understand the rules of grammar that don't make

37
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:53,520
no sense to me full stop.
Like that don't make no sense to me.

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,039
Ah, But eternal perfection at last, that makes sense to me.

39
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:06,800
And so I'm going to read heavily
as we bring this quarter to a close.

40
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,520
I'm going to read heavily from the
lesson from the book The Great Controversy,

41
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,080
pages six hundred, seventy seven and
seventy eight, and see what or

42
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:21,120
really from six seventy five through six
seventy eight, and see what God has

43
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,840
to say to us. Okay,
And so I begin the quote there,

44
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:30,360
the wide spreading planes swell into the
hills of beauty. Oh wait, this

45
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,960
is a positive message, and the
mountains of God rear their lofty summits.

46
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,319
Are you seeing this in your mind? Brothers and sisters, on those peaceful

47
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,639
planes, when's the last time you
had peace? On those peaceful plains,

48
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:50,360
beside those living streams, God's people. Are you one of God's people?

49
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,759
Brothers and sisters, are you one
of God's people? Are you choosing today

50
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,520
to be one of God's people forever? Okay? So God's people, So

51
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:05,520
long pilgrims and wanderers shall find a
home. Where is that home? Brothers

52
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,080
and sisters, I need you to
type it in the tap? Where is

53
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:14,000
that home? I know some of
you are typing Heaven. Well, okay,

54
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,079
I don't have a problem if you're
speaking of it is as a principle,

55
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,000
But bottom line is wherever God is. Wherever God is, because we'll

56
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,319
go to heaven and live there for
a thousand years. But after the thousand

57
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:30,199
years are finished, God is going
to recreate the earth and he will fulfill

58
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,800
his promise as in Matthew chapter five
where he said that the meek will inherit

59
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,639
the earth. So wherever God is, the tabernacle of God is with men.

60
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,319
He shall be with his people,
and they shall and He shall be

61
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,800
their God. Right. So wherever
God is, that's where your home will

62
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:55,759
be. There. Immortal minds will
contemplate with never failing delight, the wonders

63
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,439
of creative power, the mysteries of
redeeming love. Have you ever tried to

64
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:05,959
conceptualize eternity. I did it,
and I had an anxiety attack when I

65
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,959
was young, little like little,
I was trying to figure out what eternity

66
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,680
passed meant like never having a beginning
Jesus, never having a beginning God,

67
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,639
our Father, the Holy Ghost,
never having a beginning like eternity in the

68
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:26,360
past made my heart like go out
of whack, like it was I was.

69
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,480
I couldn't figure it out, like
it was messing with my logic.

70
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:35,399
But here the Bible says that without
that that impediment to your brain, LD

71
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:43,240
Like, that impediment will go away
and you'll be able to have ongoing enjoyment

72
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,240
and delight while considering the creative power
of God. The things that you wanted

73
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,759
to know about the Great Barrier reef, the things that you wanted to know

74
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:59,560
about Orion's nebula and the speed of
light and whether neutrinos are faster than light

75
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,120
or vice versa, was like physics
or farce? Or is physics reality?

76
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,920
Like? You will be able to
contemplate that. But Dave LD, you

77
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:13,759
will not be able to stop there. You will also be able to contemplate

78
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,519
with never failing delight, the mysteries
of redeeming love. Why would you go

79
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,720
through so much to save just one
guy me? Why would you go through

80
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,600
so much to save all of these
people who are listening and watching. I'm

81
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,319
talking about you all on television,
radio, on the Internet, on podcasts,

82
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,600
and on those little devices that are
out there satellite radio. You all

83
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,399
are listening. How is it that
God has so much love that he would

84
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:46,839
go into the farthest reaches of the
world and throughout the expanse of the universe

85
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,439
with his power in order to just
save you? Why would he do that?

86
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,399
And then you get to contemplate it, and your mind will open up

87
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,319
more and more every single day,
and you'll never ever Finally, you will

88
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,759
never be confused, you will never
get tired. You will always be able

89
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,040
to praise God because he chose to
do this. Isn't that wonderful? Let

90
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,639
me continue reading. There will be
no cruel, deceiving foe to tempt to

91
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
forget fullness of God. So the
devil is not going to come in there

92
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:25,879
talking because he's dead forever and ever
and ever, and this problem ain't gonna

93
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:30,560
happen no more. Every faculty,
that is your ability to think, will

94
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,040
be developed, every capacity increased.
You thought the artificial intelligence that we had

95
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,120
right before Jesus came was good and
it was swift, And I admit it's

96
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,839
swift. I still have competitions with
it. I feel like the machine can't

97
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:49,480
be smarter than me, but it
is definitely faster than me. Oh my

98
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,199
goodness. Ah, we're humans.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. God

99
00:07:55,279 --> 00:08:01,040
created us with this expansive mind.
And I will not allow artificial intelligence to

100
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,120
outperform my intellect because God gave me
this intellect. But I promise you that

101
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,480
thing is fast. It can churn
and collect and put together data so quickly.

102
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,160
Ah. But finally, finally,
our faculties will be fully developed and

103
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:22,279
every capacity increased. The acquirement of
knowledge will not weary the mind or exhaust

104
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,199
the energies. May I just say
this, I mentioned artificial intelligence. Do

105
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:31,519
you realize that as I'm speaking to
you today, they can't use solar energy

106
00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:37,039
to power the machine artificial intelligence.
They can't use solar power because it's not

107
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,519
sufficient, and they can't continue to
use the normal power grid anymore because it's

108
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,879
not sufficient. They have to create
nuclear power plants in order to power the

109
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,000
machine called whatever you want to say, artificial intelligence. Well, the Bible

110
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,440
is saying here, I mean,
the inspiration is saying here that are the

111
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:05,360
mind that God gave us based on
his divine mind. Cannot be exhausted,

112
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360
will not weary the mind or exhaust
the energies. You'll never see a little

113
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,639
thing on the screen that says come
back again. A lot of people are

114
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:20,440
hitting our servers right now. You'll
never see hit the regenerate button because this

115
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:26,320
system is overloaded. No, No, the grandest enterprises may be carried forward,

116
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:33,679
the loftiest aspirations reached, the highest
ambitions realized, and still there will

117
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,480
arise new heights to surmount, no
new wonders to admire, new truths to

118
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,120
comprehend. Fresh objects will call forth
the powers of the mind, soul,

119
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,519
and body. Thanks for joining us
listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

120
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,360
live by bread alone, but by
every word that comes from the mouth of

121
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,360
God. This has been your daily
portion with el David Harris. Make it

122
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,279
a great day. Yeah,
