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 Friday, December twenty nine, 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 really rounding the corner today with our lesson study
series, God's Mission, My Mission, our caption four. Today, this
is the final day for this one. Peace restored. Peace restored. And
yeah, so next quarter, beginning tomorrow, we're going through the Book of
Psalms. That's going to be incredible, as you might anticipate. But before
we get into that all of that, let's please I'd like to welcome you
to go to your Daily Portion dot com on this preparation day to please join
the online community. Also pick up your Daily Portion book and please let us
know where you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. This
is the way to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and
then get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us the privilege
of opening your word today. Please give us your holy spirit. Teach us
the peaceful mindset, that mindset that is always in agreement with you, so
that when Jesus comes, you will be able to take us to Heaven for
a thousand years and then finally find give us the New Earth. In Jesus'
name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. He's restored. He realized
when God created Adam and Eve, the universe was peaceful except for the Devil
and his evil angels. Like the Devil in the evil Angels will have already
made their decision to turn away from God, and they were stuck that way
because they refused to repent like their probation was up. But all humans and
all holy angels were peaceful toward God. There was no hostility between them.
But of course the Devil came down here, he tempts Eve, he deceives
Eve, let me put it that way, and Eve falls into sin.
And then Adam decides to jump into sin. And now because of Adam's fall
or jump, as the case may be. Yeah, now sin has entered
in upon all humans. And so we've had to make a decision from that
time every single day of our lives. Are we going to agree with God?
That's peace or be hostile toward God that's enmity? Okay? And so
God is restoring peace, and we're going to read about it today, discuss
it a little bit today. And from the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page
three hundred and forty two, it reads, the Great Plan of Redemption results
in fully bringing back the world into God's favor. You could consider us like
in that discussion about the lost sheep. Uh huh, we could be considered
like the lost sheep, the one that went out and got lost. We
chose to be lost, right, and so God has been bringing us back
into his favor. Continuing the quote, all that was lost by sin is
restored. Not only man, but the earth is redeemed to be the eternal
abode of the obedient. Remember, we talked about that yesterday the Holy City
New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven. And so that city will
be in the new Earth. And finally we will have the earth the way
that God intended from before there was a beginning. I'm thankful for that.
Continuing the quote, for six thousand years, Satan has struggled to maintain possession
of the earth. Now God's original purpose in its creation is accomplished. The
saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever,
even forever and ever. Of course I made allusion to that and Daniel chapter
seven yesterday. That is the end of the quote. And so how many
people, by show of virtual hands, like you can just type a one
in the chat. That's your virtual hand. How many people are looking forward
to the day that peace will finally be restored. Go ahead and type in
in the chat. You're on Facebook, you're on YouTube, you're run on
some other platform. If you are in a podcast, then just go ahead
and and leave a review and then type a one in that review. If
you're yeah, so any way you can do it, Please type a one
type of one. You are looking forward to the day that God restores peace.
Well, I definitely am. I would be typing ones all over the
place if I could do it right now, yeah, ones. Now I'm
going to read from a letter three hundred and ninety published, well, not
even published. It was an unpublished letter from nineteen oh seven by E.
G. White, and it reads, thus, I long to see very
many laborers at work, for those who know not the evidences of our faith
may have received great light through hearing the Three Angels messages, and now they
should proclaim these messages in all parts of the world. I desire to do
my part. Brothers and sisters, do you desire to do your part?
And to open the way for others to carry the light of truth? The
Lord help us to put the armor on the believers are to unite in the
solemn work of giving the last note of warning to the world. That is
the end of the quote. God has given us a privilege that is so
incredible. And you want to say, Dave, how incredible is it?
So incredible that we lock arms and we are in lockstep with Him to be
able finally to cooperate with him to lead our brothers, our sisters, our
co workers, the people with whom we exercise, those with whom we take
public transportation, and people we just encounter. It seems haphazardly or some kind
of way, like without even knowing on the road, God is saying,
like when you're in the supermarket in the marketplace, you are shopping online and
you have to get customer service or support, like that person in the little
chatbox may be someone that God is leading you to assist to get into the
kingdom. Isn't that wonderful to be able to have a great relationship in their
families where they don't have one now? Yep, People to be able to
overcome and have victory over temptations and addictions that they have struggled with for years,
to overcome them mental and emotional torment that they have been experiencing because of
abuse from somebody. You see what I'm saying. People who have been in
and out and in and out of prison, Those individuals who are learning now
to stay out because you are being used by God to lead them into paths
of righteousness. And so I just thank God that he has given us the
privilege to engage with him. And so I want you to look at these
four points and then I'm going to read a quote that I can't believe was
not in the lesson. Number one, Embrace restoration, Embrace that we're looking
forward to that day. Number two. Pursue eternal peace. We want you
to strive for a future under God's reign, a kingdom of everlasting peace and
righteousness. Number three. Engage, Engage in God's mission. Number four Anticipate,
I said, anticipate the new Earth. Look forward with hope to the
new sin free world. God promises finding comfort and motivation in this vision.
And now for the quote that I just literally cannot believe that our brethren missed.
No shade, No shade, no shade. Coming in from the book
Great Controversy. It is the last paragraph in the last chapter. I wish
I could read the entire chapter the Controversy ended, but let me let me
just read this one. It gets me all in my feelings, y'all.
It's a good one. The controversy is ended, Sin and Sinners. Let
me go back, Let me go back. I need to put a little
effect on this one man before before we go. Let me find it quickly,
quickly, quickly. Here it is. The controversy is ended, Sin
and Sinners. Are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse
of harmony and gladness beats throughout the vast creation for Him who created all.
From Him who created all, flow, life and light and gladness throughout the
realms of illimitable space, from the minute just atom to the greatest world.
All things animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare
that God is Love. Have a wonderful day, Peace. Thanks for joining
us listening to 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,
