1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,599
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
00:00:15,199 --> 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 --> 00:00:34,240
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,759
morning. It is Thursday, May
thirty, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:41,439
my name is Elle David Harris.
I am your host, and this is

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,880
your Daily Portion where we give you
God's Word every single day, and today

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,000
is no exception. We are continuing
in our Lesson study series the Great Controversy.

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Our caption for today is the Three
Angels Messages. The Three Angels Messages.

13
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,640
We'll get into that in just a
moment, but first i'd like to

14
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:04,599
say welcome to everyone joining us,
especially if you're joining us for the very

15
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,680
first time. Please go over to
your Daily Portion dot com, pick up

16
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:12,799
the Your Daily Portion book. Let
us know where you are in the world

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,760
and also join our online community at
your Daily Portion dot com. This is

18
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:23,239
a way, as I always say, for us to continue to build faith

19
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,239
and fellowship. I just want to
say, right here, just pause for

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,599
a moment, a great, big, happy birthday to my wife, Simone.

21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,799
I'm thankful that you're still here.
God has entrusted more time to you

22
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,599
so you can continue to build in
this world until Jesus comes. So I

23
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:47,040
love you lots and I'm grateful that
we're still together. Make it a great

24
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:49,879
day. Let's go ahead and pray
and then get under weigh. Father in

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,560
heaven, thank you for this new
day, for your love. Teach us

26
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:04,319
your messages. Teach us to protect
ourselves through the armor of God against the

27
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,280
wiles of the devil, because he
likes to confuse stuff. Please teach us

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,280
to listen to your voice only in
Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and

29
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:20,360
a men again the Three Angels messages. May I just say here another key,

30
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:27,400
another key. These messages are all
about becoming and remaining connected with God

31
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:34,520
forever. That's what the Three Angels
messages are about. Like becoming and remaining

32
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:38,560
connected with God forever. If we
don't get anything else, of course,

33
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,560
it gives us a means by which
we can do so, warnings against some

34
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,960
things that happen on planet Earth and
all of that. But it's about connecting

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,159
with God and remaining connected with God. So we're going to begin with a

36
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,479
question, how do the messages of
the Three Angels mess of the Three Angels

37
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,039
in Revelation chapter fourteen relate to our
choices? Is about worship in these last

38
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,159
days? Now? I know some
people are running ahead and they're like,

39
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,479
yes, it's about Sabbath versus Sunday, it's Sabbath versus Friday, or some

40
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:15,680
other day that maybe somebody contrived and
said that this is the time that is

41
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:22,120
holy. It's more than It's more
than that I said earlier. It's about

42
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:30,360
relationships with God. And so when
God says something simple like of there are

43
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,479
so many things here in the garden
Atam, there are some things in this

44
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,400
garden, a lot of them.
Right, you may freely eat of those

45
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:45,199
trees in the garden. But there's
just one of the many that I need

46
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,680
you to refrain from eating. And
in the day that you eat from that

47
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,680
one, if I say me saying
it now, God forbid that Adam should

48
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,800
eat of it. You shall surely
die, and then Eve and anybody else

49
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,599
who would have been in the conversation
if that were the way that it happened,

50
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,240
right, And so what God is
saying to us is that, yes,

51
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:12,000
we worship him every day, but
an indication of our worship is when

52
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,680
we listen for his voice and do
what he says. We worship every day.

53
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,800
Of course, Monday morning we worship
God. Today Thursday we worship God

54
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,439
in the beauty of holiness. But
there's only one time, one day,

55
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:30,800
one holy day, one hollly day. Did I just say that one holid

56
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,399
holy day? God sanctified the seventh
day Sabbath. And if God says that

57
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:43,319
this is sanctified for a holy use, if he said that this is a

58
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,959
sign between him and his people that
He is the one who sanctifies us,

59
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,720
then why do we choose to forget
it? You understand where I'm going with

60
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,480
this. So we remember what God
says to remember, yes, okay?

61
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,759
And so in Revelation chapter four teen
and verse seven, the Bible says saying,

62
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,079
with a loud voice, fear God
and give glory to him. That

63
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,839
is, we want to reflect his
character and manifest that to the world.

64
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,600
Ah, for the hour of his
judgment has come. We've spoken about that,

65
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,120
and worship him that made the heaven
and the earth, and the sea

66
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,920
and the fountains of waters. I
find it very interesting that this way that

67
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:30,199
the message is communicated mirrors in some
ways what God taught us in the Ten

68
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,199
Commandments, when it says that he
wants us to remember the Sabbath day to

69
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:39,519
keep it holy. Sixth days,
shalt thou labor and do all thy work.

70
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,000
But the seventh day is the sabbath
of the Lord, thy God.

71
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,560
In it thou shalt not do any
work thou nor thy son, nor thy

72
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,759
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor

73
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,000
thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made

74
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,399
the heavens and the earth. Wait
a minute, there we go again with

75
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,360
his creatorship, who made heaven and
earth, the sea in the springs of

76
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,680
order. In six days the Lord
made heaven and earth, the sea,

77
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,319
and all that in them is.
And on the seventh day, our God

78
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,079
he rested, and he wants us
to also to rest with him. He

79
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,639
rested. Wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day. And what else did he

80
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,519
do brothers and sisters. According to
Exodus chapter twenty, verses eight three eleven,

81
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:29,879
he made it holy. He made
it holy. How can I say

82
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:33,160
that something that God made holy is
not holy? I think Peter was given

83
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,480
that discussion when God told him to
go to the Gentiles and to teach the

84
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:44,480
gospel. Yes, he said that
you know what I call holy, you

85
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:49,000
must not call unholy. He was
talking about people, okay. And so

86
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,759
God made the time holy and he
wants us to deepen our reverence and worship

87
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,000
for him. He is separating us
from others. He is making it clear.

88
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,319
As he said in the Book of
Malachi, chapter three, the closing

89
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:06,319
verses, he said, I'm going
to basically draw a line in the sand,

90
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:14,319
and I'm going to show who are
my people in verses who are not

91
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,480
my people? Align my life is
what I'm saying to me today. I

92
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:24,160
hope you're saying it to you.
Align my life with the Divine principles and

93
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,959
His commandments. I think the Bible
teaches us in Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight,

94
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,199
beginning at verse one all the way
to verse fourteen, that those who keep

95
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,040
his laws, his statutes, his
judgments. There's blessing, blessing, blessing,

96
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,879
blessing, blessing, to the point
that it can overwhelm us in a

97
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:45,199
good way. And for those who
choose to turn our backs on God and

98
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,839
his truths and what He has taught
us, and his statutes, his judgments,

99
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,279
his commandments, then there is the
commensurate cursing. And it's like,

100
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,959
well, why would you tell me
that? Right here, Dave, because

101
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,399
God said it. I'm just repeating
what God said. I'm repeating what God

102
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:03,279
said. And so here is another
thought from Revelation, chapter fourteen and verse

103
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,240
eight, and the Bible reads,
and there followed another angel saying, Babylon

104
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,959
is fallen. It's fallen that great
city because she made all nations drink of

105
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,959
the wine of the wrath of her
fornication. So that angel is teaching us

106
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,959
that all of confusion has been exposed, spiritual confusion, all of people trying

107
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,800
to find a way to make an
artificial way into the presence of God,

108
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,120
like those who built the tower at
Babel, confusion and the artificial connection with

109
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,480
God. The jig is up.
Like the jig is up, God is

110
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:46,120
saying to his people that we cannot
ignore his truth and still say that we

111
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,080
are as people. I say it
just another way. When God teaches us

112
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:56,120
that his law is holy, is
just, and is good. The truth

113
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,759
is that I'm carnal, sold under
sin, and therefore I need a savior

114
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,720
who will rescue me from this body
of death. And then I thank God,

115
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,320
why because he is the one who
can transform my life and then put

116
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,679
me in a position where there is
no more condemnation when I'm in Christ Jesus,

117
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,679
because I walk no longer according to
the flesh, but according to the

118
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,759
spirit. Well, what does that
have to do with us in these last

119
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,039
days? Here is the patience of
the saints. The Bible says, here

120
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,799
are they that keep the commandments of
God and the faith of Jesus. He's

121
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,000
given each of us a measure of
faith. He is the author and finisher

122
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:37,519
of our faith, and those who
are faithful to God, those who love

123
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Him will accept his power to keep
his commandments, including the fourth one.

124
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread

125
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,679
alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God. This

126
00:09:52,759 --> 00:10:00,279
has been your daily portion with el
David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
