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 --> 00:00:15,039
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 --> 00:00:34,280
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, good morning, good

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,280
morning. It is Monday, June
twenty fourth, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,200
my name is Elle David Harris.
I am your host, and this

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,079
is your Daily Portion where we give
you God's word every single day, and

11
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:51,600
today is no exception. We are
continuing in our final week of this lesson

12
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:57,240
study series, the Great Controversy.
Our caption for today is hope in Jesus's

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:03,679
soon return. Hope in Jesus is
soon return. We'll get back into that

14
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:06,120
in just a moment, but first
I'd like to say welcome to you,

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,560
and welcome everybody who's not come to
your Daily Portion dot com as yet join

16
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,040
our online community. We are growing
by leaps and bounds. We had to

17
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,280
re calibrate, and God is growing
the community. This is where you can

18
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,079
ask all of your questions related to
the Lesson study, or we can have

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,359
discussion. Don't come in there thinking
that you're going to post a bunch of

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,519
stuff, because that's not the purpose
for it. The system will reject posts

21
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,120
that are just generic in nature,
even really good ones. It's about the

22
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:44,040
Lesson study questions that you have discussions
related to the Lesson study, and we

23
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,480
will continue to build faith and fellowship
there. Okay, that's an opportunity we

24
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,680
have because I just talk you.
I talk to you this way. You're

25
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:53,680
listening to me on the radio,
you're watching me on the internet right,

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,280
listen to me on podcasts, and
you don't have a way to really respond

27
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,519
except for the few moments in chat. No, we come in the community

28
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,000
and that's where we get the real
work done. So I'm grateful. Let's

29
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,479
go ahead and pray and then get
underway. Father in heaven, thank you

30
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:14,439
for this day. Thank you for
loving us enough to give us hope.

31
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,319
Please help us to embrace the hope
in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen

32
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:23,719
and Amen again. Let me ask
you a question, do you have hope

33
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:27,639
in Jesus? If you have hope
in Jesus, just go ahead and type

34
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,360
of one in the chat. If
you're on the internet, or if you

35
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,680
are even in a podcast, go
ahead and leave a review and then type

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,840
a one during the review and say, I have hope in Jesus's in Jesus.

37
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:45,400
And now let me tighten it up
a little bit based on the caption

38
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,759
for today. Do you have hope
in the fact that Jesus is coming and

39
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,240
he's coming soon. He's coming for
you brothers and sisters. Do you have

40
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,759
hope that way? Hopefully you do, go ahead and type of one in

41
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,800
the chat. If you have hope
in Christ and hope in the reality,

42
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,159
blessed hope that Jesus is coming soon. You see a lot of times people

43
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,479
lose focus and lose hope because they
don't know in whom they have their hope.

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,759
They've hoped and their friends who have
let them down, their family members

45
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,039
have let them down. The bank
that they hoped that they would get a

46
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,560
loan from in order to get the
home that they need in order to live

47
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,680
comfortably has let them down, and
so many other things. The governments have

48
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,719
let them down. M h.
And So what God is saying to us

49
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,000
is that in the last days especially, and I know I keep saying those

50
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:35,240
words, but that's because we're living
in the last days. During the last

51
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,000
days, God wants to give us
hope, and the same hope he gave

52
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,680
his disciples. Jesus gave his disciples. As Jesus was preparing to give his

53
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:50,240
life for us, he knew that
those people were going to unalive him.

54
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:53,400
The internet is so crazy. I
can't even say what I really mean.

55
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,400
Un alive. You know what that
means, right, because it messes up

56
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:01,080
your channel when you say the words
as they really are these days. But

57
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,520
God is saying that as Jesus is
preparing to give his life for us and

58
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:13,919
his disciples are fearful and discouraged,
Jesus said this, let not your heart

59
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,079
be troubled. Don't let your heart
be troubled. Why not ye believe in

60
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,600
God? Believe also in me.
In my father's house, there are many

61
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,319
mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you, I

62
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,639
go to prepare a place for you. What Yes, He's going to prepare

63
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,319
a place for you. Whether you
are homeless today, God forbid. But

64
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,720
if you are, and God bless
you, you're listening today, this is

65
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:42,000
your day to receive hope. Yes, God is going to take care of

66
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,120
you somehow on planet Earth. Yes, but one day he's going to give

67
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,240
you a specific, special place that's
just for you among those many mansions in

68
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,399
heaven. If it were not so, brothers and sisters, I would have

69
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,560
told you, I go and prepare
a place for you. And if I

70
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800
go to prepare a place for you, because Jesus is so efficient, he

71
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:08,079
does not waste energy or time.
He said, since I'm going to prepare

72
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,439
a place for you, I'm going
to go ahead and come back here.

73
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,480
I'm going to return. If I
go and prepare a place for you,

74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,120
I will come again and receive you
unto myself that where I am there,

75
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,319
ye may be also. So.
Yes, there will be a time of

76
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000
trouble. Yes, it will be
challenging. Yes, you will have some

77
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,519
things go on even before that time
of trouble that you wish were not happening.

78
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,399
But God said that if you just
hope in me, believe in me,

79
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,879
I'm going to come here and I'm
going to resolve all of that once

80
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:46,920
and for all, and in the
Book of Titus chapter two. The Book

81
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,439
of Titus chapter two bout, beginning
at verse eleven, the Bible reads,

82
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:54,839
for the grace of God, that's
his power for us to do as well.

83
00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:58,959
The grace of God has appeared,
bringing salvation to all people. You're

84
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,759
a people this and sisters, you're
a person, so that means you.

85
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:08,120
It trains us to reject godless ways. See if you're God's children, if

86
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,720
you are King's kids, and He
has brought power to your life so that

87
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:17,240
you can have salvation, then that
means you turn away from godless ways and

88
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:24,839
worldly desires and to live self control. Thank God, you can control yourself

89
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:28,879
when people say slick stuff out of
their mouths to you and you don't like

90
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,399
it, and you really want to
tell them something, huh. That has

91
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,439
four letters in it For the English
speakers in the house, Yeah, you

92
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,040
say no, no, no,
no, no no. God has given

93
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:44,439
me power. He has saved me. I reject the godless ways that are

94
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,439
creeping up into my mind, and
I am able to be upright and have

95
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:57,079
godly lives in the present age,
as we wait for the happy fulfillment of

96
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,759
the hope in the glorious appearing of
the Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

97
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,720
Did you get that of our Great
God and Savior Jesus Christ? Verse

98
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:15,040
fourteen and final, He gave himself
for us to set us free. Are

99
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,720
you sensing your liberty today? Brothers
and sisters, to set us free,

100
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,839
set us free from what, set
us free from what, from every kind

101
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:31,759
of lawlessness, and to purify for
himself a people who are truly His,

102
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:39,639
who are eager to do good.
I'm grateful, brothers and sisters, because

103
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,240
God has given us hope in this
present world that we can live according to

104
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:49,319
God's principles. And while we wait, we can live abundant lives. He

105
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:55,000
is able to make us abundant in
these last days. Yes, everything is

106
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,480
not toil and difficulty as we await. There are great and bright spots,

107
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,600
sunny spots in our lives that we
can live according to His will and Deuteronomy

108
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,000
Chapter twenty eight, beginning at verse
one straight through the verse fourteen, the

109
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,759
Bible gives us the blueprint for people
who want to live prosperous lives. We

110
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720
live according to His principles, his
precepts, his laws, his judgments,

111
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:24,959
and we will have blessings upon blessings
upon blessings that we can't even contain,

112
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:28,519
and we give God thanks. The
wicked realize though in the last of the

113
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,519
last days, it's a contrast now
a consequences of sin, while the righteous

114
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,600
have accepted the marvelous provisions of grace. According to the lesson writer, rebellion

115
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:46,159
against God leads to fear and guilt, condemnation, and eventually eternal loss,

116
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:56,960
eternal separation from God, eternal loss. Our response to his saving grace leads

117
00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,960
to forgiveness. Thank God that I
don't have to worry about my past.

118
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,919
Huh. Peace, Thank God that
I am RESTful no matter what is happening,

119
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,000
whether I am abounding or I am
in lack for a moment of time,

120
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,039
I can have peace and joy eternally
at his glorious return. We look

121
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,600
forward to the day that Jesus will
appear and he will resolve all of those

122
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:26,159
woes. And let me say,
in the last moments here from Great Controversy,

123
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,720
page six fifty one, the Cross
of Christ will be the science and

124
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:37,519
song of the Redeemed through all eternity. In Christ glorified, they will behold

125
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,960
Christ crucified. We thank God he
has done everything that he needs to do

126
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,840
to save us 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,
