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
00:00:15,240 --> 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 --> 00:00:34,240
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, good morning, good

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,799
morning. It's already Thursday. It's
June. It's the twenty seventh day of

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,840
twenty twenty four, and I'm thankful. Hello. My name is El David

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,079
Harris. I am your host,
and this is your Daily Portion where we

11
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:50,479
give you God's word every single day, and today is no exception. We

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,119
are continuing the with one of two
of the last days for this series of

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,320
studies, the Great Controversy, and
our option for today is two Eternities,

14
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:07,480
Two Eternities. We'll get into that
in just a moment, but first I'd

15
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,640
like to say welcome to you and
ask you to please go over to your

16
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,920
Daily Portion dot com. Please join
our online community. That community is growing

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,959
by leaps and bounds. We had
to start all over again. Some of

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,799
you would have heard that because the
first community that we had, the system

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,799
was taken like take it away,
and it's like what really, So we're

20
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:33,159
rebuilding and I'm grateful. We're over
seven hundred strong, and that just simply

21
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,519
means that there are seven hundred people
plus who are willing to share and spread

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280
the Gospel of the Kingdom into all
the world for a witness so that the

23
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,120
end will come. And that's not
to mention the hundreds of thousands of you

24
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,680
who are listening and watching every single
day. Let's get everybody into that community

25
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:55,040
space. We have plenty good room
and we can have lively discussion beyond me

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,359
just talking to you for these few
minutes. Okay, so join us at

27
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,079
your daily portion dot com. Let's
go ahead and pray, and then we

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,079
will get underwig bothering Heaven. Thank
you for giving us this new day and

29
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,039
for the privilege that you have entrusted
to us. Please teach us to experience

30
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:19,840
and accept the blessing of the eternity
that matters most in Jesus name, I

31
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,680
pray, Amen and Amen again.
All right? So let me just ask

32
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:30,599
you a question. Which eternity are
you choosing? Which eternity are you choosing?

33
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,639
Now, there are some very technical
minded people. I'm very technical minded,

34
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280
more than most I will admit,
who are like, Okay, where's

35
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,280
the preacher going, because it's like, you know, be careful, be

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,439
careful, preacher. All right,
So here's eternity number one. It's eternity

37
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,520
with God. That's number one.
Eternity with God. Are you choosing eternity

38
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,159
with God? That means that you
are choosing to accept and to love love?

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,159
Are you choosing today? Like I
said in the Bible, choose you

40
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:07,479
this day whom ye will serve?
But as for me in my house and

41
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,639
my house, we will serve the
Lord? Or how long halts ye between

42
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,439
two opinions? If God be God, then serve him. That's eternity number

43
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:21,639
one. But if the devil,
bayol asherih every other thing that stands up

44
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,199
against Christ, if it's that,
then yeah, go ahead and choose that.

45
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:29,840
But reality is just like our brother
would have said. Our late brother

46
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,680
would have said, as for me
and my house, we gonna serve the

47
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Lord. As our late brother would
have said, Elijah, who is now

48
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,599
living through eternity beginning way back when
he chose to serve the Lord. Okay,

49
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,960
and then there's the other eternity that
is eternal separation from God. Are

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,360
you saying, preacher, that there
are people who will go on and on

51
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:57,000
and on in eternity that don't love
God. No, I'm not saying that

52
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,159
the eternal punishment for those who choose
to hate love, to reject God ultimately

53
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:09,199
and not turn back and say God, I apologize, Please, will you

54
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,520
forgive me? I choose to serve
you. Now, those individuals will have

55
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:20,680
chosen the eternal consequence, which is
separation from God, and they will not

56
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:28,319
live again. Throughout the ceaseless ages
of eternity, those individuals will never live

57
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,279
again. Okay. Now that we've
made that clear, let's go ahead and

58
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,680
begin or continue our discussion by reading
from the Great Controversy Book, pages six

59
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,959
hundred sixty six and six hundred sixty
eight, where it reads and I quote

60
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
the whole wicked world. Now we
have a context, a qualifier. The

61
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,839
whole wicked world stand arraigned at the
bar of God. Remember, Remember we

62
00:04:55,519 --> 00:05:00,720
said yesterday that God's people will have
received the promise that we will be seated

63
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:04,279
on thrones, and during the thousand
years in heaven, we will be looking

64
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:10,360
over the record, the faithful record
of God, concerning those who chose not

65
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,680
to make it in. Yes,
so these are the people we're talking about.

66
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,160
The whole wicked world stand arraigned at
the bar of God on the charge

67
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:25,240
of high treason against the government of
heaven. They have none to plead their

68
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,439
cause. Remember, Jesus is the
only mediator between God and humanity. Yes,

69
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,279
and during the time that he was
doing this, there were people who

70
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,639
said, no, I don't want
to be represented by you. They wanted

71
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:41,279
to be pro say, litigants,
y'all, look that up. They wanted

72
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:45,120
to be in law. They wanted
to represent themselves. They wanted to have

73
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,319
their own righteousness, which is as
filthy rags. They wanted that instead of

74
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:53,160
Jesus. And so now that's what
they have. They have no one to

75
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:59,600
plead their cause. They are without
excuse, and the sentence of eternal death,

76
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,160
that is the eternity, the sentence
of eternal death, is pronounced against

77
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:09,399
them. This is a sad day, brothers and sisters. If you are

78
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,800
choosing that, if you choose the
eternal death penalty, there is no reason

79
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,279
for you to do that. And
I can hear Jesus crying over his city,

80
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,399
Jerusalem, his people, Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Thou that kill ust the

81
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:30,199
prophets. How oft would I have
gathered you together as a hen gathereth her

82
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,879
chicks, and you would not.
Now your house is left unto you desolate.

83
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,920
Then I hear in another place,
and I think the Bible writer is

84
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,519
Ezekiel, and Jesus says, he
says, I have no pleasure. I

85
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,600
take no pleasure in the death of
the person that dies. Therefore, turn

86
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:58,360
yourselves and live. Why would you
die when God is extending life to all

87
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:02,160
of us? Why would you choose
to separate yourselves from God? When Jesus

88
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:08,360
came down to planet Earth for thirty
three and a half years, clothing his

89
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,839
divinity in humanity so that he could
have us together, so he could have

90
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,160
a relationship with us and we with
him, Why would you choose separation from

91
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,000
God when He's done everything so that
we can be together forever with no more

92
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,720
pain, no more sickness, no
more grief, no more sin, no

93
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:32,240
more war. Can you imagine no
more conflicts, only holiness and peace throughout

94
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:36,639
the ceaseless ages of eternity, where
there is nothing that we would aspire to

95
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,639
do that we cannot attain. Oh, my God, like, why would

96
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,879
people choose that route? And I
have to ask myself every single day,

97
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,120
which way you're gonna go? Dave, which way are you going to go?

98
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,839
And as for me and my house
brothers and sisters, we are going

99
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,240
to serve the Lord. And so
a few things I would like to share

100
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,879
with you as we come to a
swift close. We just have a couple

101
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:05,319
of more minutes. From Second Corinthians, chapter five and verse ten, the

102
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,079
Bible reads, for we must all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

103
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,959
Well, that's a blessing because those
who are in Christ are saved. Those

104
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,839
who are in Christ are clothed in
His righteousness. And therefore we have no

105
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,680
fear, because perfect love casts out
fear. Okay, that everyone may receive

106
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,560
the things done in his body according
to that which he hath done, whether

107
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,639
it be good or bad. And
so we're accountable for our actions. And

108
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,320
guess what our action today can be
to repent, Like we can repent and

109
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,360
choose to serve God, all of
us will be accountable. And so in

110
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:50,240
Romans chapter fourteen and verse eleven the
Bible reads, For it is written,

111
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,799
as I live, set the Lord, every need shall bow, every tongue

112
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,639
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
to the glory of God the Father.

113
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,559
Can I just say it here like
this? Why don't we go ahead and

114
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
begin practicing now? Why don't we
go ahead and serve God. Why don't

115
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,720
we go ahead and bow the knee
to God? Now? Why don't we

116
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:16,360
let him be the king of our
lives today? So that when this happens,

117
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,639
when every knee will bow and every
tongue confesses, it will be in

118
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,039
good practice. We will love that
reality, and it won't be now compelled

119
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,519
as we await our eternal death penalty
fate. Okay, And so God has

120
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,799
given us mercy, He has given
us holiness. He has given us every

121
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:39,200
blessed gift in order to save us. Why don't we just choose the eternity

122
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,000
with God option? It's the only
one that makes sense. Make it a

123
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840
great day, peace. Thanks for
joining us listening. Friends. Always remember

124
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,919
we cannot live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the

125
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,399
mouth of God. This has been
your daily portion with el David Harris.

126
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,279
Make it a great day. Yeah,
