Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, Good morning.
It is Monday, December twenty five, twenty twenty three. Hello,
my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
your Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day, and today
is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series. God's Mission,
My mission, and our caption for today is the Three Angels Messages and
Mission. The Three Angels Messages and Mission. Before we get into that,
I'd just like to say welcome to you and happy happy Monday. And I'm
asking you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com join our online
community. Also pick up your Daily Portion book and let us know where you
are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. Let's go ahead and
pray and get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us this
new day and for the privilege that we have to celebrate together the word that
you have manifest through Jesus Christ. I'm asking you now to give us your
understanding, give us your mindset, give us holiness in Jesus name. I
pray, Amen and Amen again. The Three Angels Messages and mission. I'm
not going to fully expound the Three Angels Messages and hopefully to you it is
for obvious reasons. There is just too much, not too much. There
is just so much there, so much there. We're going to glean some
lessons just to kind of get us going for the day. But before we
go there, I'd like to read from the Book of Luke, chapter eleven,
and I will read verse twenty three from the New King James version of
the Bible. It says here, he who is not with me is against
me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. There's so much
there, but Jesus is saying, it's very clear. There is a line
in the sand, a line of demarcation like the gauntlet has been set down,
and it is clear that whoever loves Jesus is on Jesus's side. And
those who are on Jesus's side speak like Jesus, behave like Jesus, Love
people like Jesus. Turn away from sin in the spirit and mindset of Jesus.
Our sacrificial in how we give, just like Jesus. Our humble and
me and lowly in heart like Jesus. Have the fruit of the spirit like
Jesus. You see where this is going, like Jesus, Be like Jesus,
like the hymn writer would have would have penned. And so those who
are with Jesus are like Jesus. They we we are like Jesus. I
won't go through that again. I get a little bit excited here, all
right. But those who are against me, Jesus said, scatters. So
the things that matter to Jesus, they scatter, They tear them down,
they break them down. They don't have the love that Jesus loves. They
don't have the mind and ministry mindset that Jesus does. They don't have the
success mindset that Jesus does. Those individuals are against Jesus. It's either four
or against and the Old Testament. We see Elijah on the Mount Carmel,
and he is saying, how long halts ye between two opinions? If God
be God, then serve him. If bay Al and Astrooth and all this
other wickedness out here be God, than serve that. Then. Of course
I think it was Joshua that says, you know, choose you this day
whom ye will serve. But as for me and my house, we will
serve the Lord. And so there's one line right down the middle and God
speaking in the book of Malachi. I wasn't planning on talking about this In
Malachi. He's like, but I'm listening. I'm listening. In Malachi and
chapter three he's saying like, I'm listening to what you are saying about me.
I'm witnessing and listening and taking a record of what you're saying about me.
And the long story short is that some people will say, well,
what is the use of serving God? What is the use of serving God?
Like it doesn't make sense? And then others will say, but God
is so good, and you want to say, well, how good is
he? And then they talk about how it is more than just worth it
to serve Jesus. It pays to serve Jesus every single day. And he
says, I will hear that witness and draw a line in the sand and
say, this is the difference between those who serve me and those who serve
me not. And so this is what we're talking about. And so when
we get into the Book of Revelation, chapter fourteen. Now we get into
the Book of Revelation, chapter fourteen, and we read beginning at verse six,
we see a message that is clear. It's either either it's one or
the other. It's black, it's white, And the Bible reads here and
I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven. So we see the
urgency, We see the swiftness of this whatever is about to happen, having
the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth, and to
every nation and kindred and tongue and people. So we have the power of
God unto salvation being preached into the entire world, going out swiftly, going
out swiftly to everyone who speaks any language, any kind of person that you've
met or not met. And then he says in verse seven, with a
loud voice, fear God, that is, to have reverential awe of God,
and to serve him and give glory to him, that is, to
become a reflection of His holiness and everything else that is God in the earth.
We become like Him in the earth. For the hour of His judgment
is come. His judgment is in three phases, if you want to say,
in three phases, the preadvent phase hah, the time of what we
see and look over the books, as in Revelation chapter twenty, and then
the execution of his judgment that comes later at the end when he destroys all
sin and sinners in three phases. But the hour of his call it preadvent
judgment is come. And worship Him that made heaven and earth and the sea
and the fountains of waters. In the Book of Isaiah, beginning at chapter
forty, we see God. And pardon me if you don't like this illusion,
I would understand it. But we see God flexing his spiritual and holy
muscles. The fact that he is the only true and living God, Blessed
be his name, the eternal and powerful God, Blessed be his name.
We see him going through this and saying, now, if there be a
God among you, because there were so many false gods that the people were
worshiping. If there be a God among you, let him declare the end
from the beginning. Hmm. Let him declare the end from the beginning,
and I'll serve him to And so God is saying, wait a minute,
now, I am the only one that made heaven. I'm the only one
that made the earth. I am the only one that made the sea and
the fountains of waters. And we see that identified in the Book of Psalms
chapter nineteen. We see it identified in the Book of Romans chapter one.
We see it identified so many other places in the Bible. We see it
in the Ten Commandments law in the Sabbath commandment, that he made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is yes. And he
blessed the Sabbath day the seventh day, and then of course he sanctified it.
So we see that this is the voice of God to the nations verse
eight, and followed another angel saying, Babylon is fallen. All confusion is
fallen. Brothers and sisters, All false systems of worship that supposedly tend to
lead to God, all paths don't lead to God. You see what happened
at the Tower of Babel. They built a monument to themselves. They were
building a pathway to the gods. That's what Babylon meant to the Babylonian people,
and to the Hebrew people, it meant confusion. All of that is
fallen is fallen that great city, because she made all nations to drink of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third Angel followed them,
saying in a loud voice, if anybody worshiped the Beast and his image
and in the mark in his in his image, and receive his mark in
his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the of the
wrath of God, which has poured out without mixture, into the cup of
his indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And so all
of this is to say that when God speaks, we must listen. All
of this is to say that God is love, and his loving kindness comes
to a point where he has to destroy anything that is unlike him and that
is not loving. Why because one day we will have to have the pulse
of God's love to beat throughout the universe with nothing in the way. This
is God's mission manifest in three Angels message. Thanks for joining us listening.
Friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with
El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
