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
00:00:20,120 --> 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 --> 00:00:34,520
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,520
It is Friday, June seven,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,560
name is Elle David Harris. I
am your host, and this is your

10
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:45,880
Daily Portion where we give you God's
word every single day, and today is

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,479
no exception. We are continuing in
our Lesson study series, the Great Controversy.

12
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:57,280
Our caption for today is perfect Timing. I said, perfect timing.

13
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,560
We'll get into that in just a
moment, but before we do, I'd

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,399
like to say welcome to you and
ask you to please go over to your

15
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:07,200
Daily Portion dot com. Please join
our online community, pick up the Your

16
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,519
Daily Portion book, and let us
know where you are in the world.

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,599
At your Daily Portion dot Com.
And let me just say that there is

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:23,680
a coaching opportunity for people who want
to extend what your Daily Portion is in

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,400
our lives. Okay, so go
right back there at your Daily Portion dot

20
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,040
com. This is a way that
we continue to build faith and fellowship.

21
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,159
Let's go ahead and pray, and
then we will get underway. Father in

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,760
heaven, thank you for the opportunity
to open your word. Thank you for

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,799
your Holy Spirit who is faithful to
teach us your word. I pray God

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,319
now that you will teach us to
understand your will and then that we will

25
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:53,480
live it. Please insulate us against
the attacks of the enemy, and help

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,359
us to listen keenly to your voice, so when the counterfeit comes in,

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
we'll know it's not you. Teach
us to love you. Please, in

28
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:07,560
Jesus' name, I pray, Amen
and Amen again. Okay again, our

29
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:15,400
caption is perfect timing. One of
the quick phrases that I learned some years

30
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:20,599
ago, and really this can be
applied in a number of contexts is no

31
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:28,039
haste, no delay. No haste, no delay, and that means just

32
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,599
at the right time. There are
times that we want to jump the gun.

33
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960
There are times that we don't know
what the right time of a thing

34
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,199
is, and we want to either
hurry up, press on the gas no

35
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:40,759
breaks, or if we don't like
how fast something is going, but it's

36
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,120
appropriate from God's perspective, we want
to put two feet on the breaks and

37
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:50,400
then put our cars into park while
it's supposed to be in drive. God

38
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,439
is teaching us that his time is
perfect. And you're like, well,

39
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:59,080
what does that have to do with
our lesson study. Well, Jesus understands

40
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,639
what the right time is, and
not this just that he understands because he

41
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:07,039
determines what the right time is.
God determines what the right time is.

42
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,159
The Father Son, the Holy Spirit. Together they determine what the right time

43
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,360
is, the right time for what
right time for resurrection, right time for

44
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:19,639
resurrection. And so when Jesus gave
his life for us, right he died,

45
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,039
He gave his life a ransom for
many so that we could be saved.

46
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,439
He came up out of the tomb
at the right time, right at

47
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,479
the right time. Jesus will come
at the right time. Jesus will shout

48
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:35,520
with the voice of the archangel.
At the right time, Jesus will raise

49
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,960
the dead. You see and by
the way, when Jesus was giving his

50
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:45,319
life for us, it was on
Friday that he breathed his last and the

51
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:47,719
Bible says, gave up the ghost, meaning the breath that was in his

52
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,479
body. That was the day.
Friday was the day God is orderly.

53
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,199
And then on Sabbath, the Bible
says. The Bible says that he rested

54
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,439
according to the commandment. He rested
in the tomb according to the command So

55
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,280
on Friday, Jesus gives up the
ghost. Before sunset he passes away.

56
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:09,400
He lays down his life just like
he said he would. And then during

57
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:14,159
the Sabbath hours he was resting in
the tomb, he was dead, okay.

58
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,639
And then, just as the prophecies
fore told, just as Jesus said,

59
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:24,639
very clearly in his own voice,
just as the people should have expected,

60
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,120
excuse me. On the first day
of the week, that is Sunday

61
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,720
morning. Early Sunday morning, the
Bible says that Jesus basically he took up

62
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:39,759
his life again. And when Gabriel
came from heaven, he comes down,

63
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800
he says, son of God,
thy father Calleth thee. Jesus had taken

64
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:48,600
up his life just as the prophecies
said he didn't take up his life on

65
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:53,399
the second day, he didn't give
his life on the third day. He

66
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,480
didn't give his life on the second
day and take it back up on the

67
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:03,759
second day, or Jesus gives his
life in order on the second day,

68
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,199
he rests in the tomb according to
the commandment, on the Sabbath, and

69
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,560
then on Sunday morning, Resurrection morning, Jesus takes up his life. You

70
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,120
see, God's timing is perfect.
Now you're like, OK, why do

71
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,360
you keep saying that. Well,
we'll come back to the scriptures. But

72
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:23,439
I want you to understand that the
enemy does not like you, like he

73
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:27,160
hates you. And so from the
book The Great Controversy, page five hundred

74
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,680
and sixty, will see how people
who do not accept the timing of God

75
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:36,040
will be deceived. Just before us
is the quote hour of temptation, which

76
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:41,079
shall come upon all of the world
to try them that dwell upon the earth.

77
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,480
All whose faith is not firmly established
upon the word of God will be

78
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:56,120
deceived and overcome. Satan works with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness to gain control of

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,000
the children of men, and his
deceptions will what continually increase, But he

80
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:09,160
can gain his object only as men
or humans voluntarily yield to his temptations.

81
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,720
Those who are earnestly seeking a knowledge
of the truth and are striving to purify

82
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,600
our souls through obedience, thus doing
what they can to prepare for the conflict,

83
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:28,399
will find in the God of Truth
a sure defense. Good. Because

84
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160
thou hast kept the word of my
patience, I also will keep thee is

85
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:39,040
the Savior's promise he would sooner send
every angel out of heaven to protect his

86
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:45,160
people than to leave one soul that
trusts in him to be overcome by Satan.

87
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,079
That's the end of the quote.
So in the last days the deceiver

88
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:54,560
is going to be is excuse me, the deceiver is in high gear,

89
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:59,519
all gas, no breaks. All
he wants to do is destroy you.

90
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,800
In one of the ways is to
cause people to see what does not exist,

91
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,240
to see that dead loved ones are
really not dead, and to send

92
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:14,319
messages through those voices, just like
he did in the incident with the witch

93
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:20,439
at end Or and supposedly supposedly the
prophet Samuel. And it was a deception.

94
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,759
And we could go on and on, But the Bible is teaching us

95
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,240
that as in the Book of Ecclesiastes. The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter nine

96
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,319
and verse five. For the living
know that we shall die, I said,

97
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,720
we ah, But the dead no, not anything. So you don't

98
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,000
have to worry about a house being
haunted by dead folks because they're dead.

99
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,439
You don't have to listen out for
a message from somebody who has died,

100
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,480
because wait a minute, the Bible
says that the dead don't know anything,

101
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:54,920
neither have they any more reward for
the memory of them is forgotten. Okay,

102
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:59,839
okay. And then in First Thessalonians, chapter four and verse sixteen,

103
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,279
Bible teaches us again the timing that
I was alluding to a little bit earlier.

104
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:09,000
For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, but the

105
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,240
voice of the archangel and with the
trump of God, and the dead in

106
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Christ shall rise first. So the
resurrection that happens first is the resurrection of

107
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,160
the just. Okay. The resurrection
that happens first, that is at the

108
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:31,199
second coming of Jesus Christ, is
for those who are in Christ. Then

109
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,799
we which are alive and remain,
shall be caught up together with them in

110
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,799
the clouds. See the people who
have passed away that love God. They're

111
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:45,440
not in the clouds already. They
are not already in heaven, because then

112
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,519
that wouldn't make sense, because then
they'd have to come down from heaven,

113
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,440
go back into the grave, and
then be raised on that day and then

114
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,919
we go up again together. You
see that ain't there. It's just not

115
00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:01,320
there to meet the Lord in the
air. And there shall we also ever

116
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:07,080
be with the Lord. And I'm
thankful because at the appropriate time when Jesus

117
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,360
does come, when he comes,
those who loved God who are now resting,

118
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:18,240
will finally be delivered from their tombs. Yes, they will finally with

119
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,679
us. If we're alive. When
Jesus comes back and remain, we will

120
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:30,200
receive immortality together. And then and
only then will we say, in with

121
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,679
the scripture's death, where is your
staying like where is your victory? Our

122
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:39,159
victory is in Christ. The grave
cannot hold God's people. We'll talk about

123
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:46,279
it some more as the days continue. Peace. Thanks for joining us listening.

124
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,840
Friends. Always remember we cannot live
by bread alone, but by every

125
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:54,080
word that comes from the mouth of
God. This has been your daily portion

126
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,279
with el David Harris, make it
a great day. Yeah,
