1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,400
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna, the word of God to keep

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
us through today's challenges. On this
program, we are going to change all

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,160
of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,839
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome
to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,799
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

9
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:43,079

is no exception. We are continuing in

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:57,079
our lesson study series, God's Mission
My Mission. I've actually done a pretty

13
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:02,200
good job this week. I normally
botch the theme for about the first week

14
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,079
when we go into a new quarter. But thank God, I am grateful

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,280
that we can do this without too
much confusion. YEP. So today's caption

16
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:19,159
is the God who will come back
for us, The God who will come

17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,200
back for us, I'll get into
that in just a moment, but first

18
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,319
I'd like to say welcome, Welcome, welcome to everyone joining us, especially

will to you, Please teach us
to submit our will to you and look

30
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,199
forward to the coming. In Jesus
name, I pray, Amen and a

31
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:30,080
men again the God who will come
back for us. I'm going to read

32
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,199
from a really familiar passage to most
believers that is more than just encouragement.

33
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:45,800
It is a promise from Jesus Christ
himself that says, I have not forgotten

34
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,080
you. Remember we talked about it
yesterday, I think it was we were

35
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,800
talking about how Jesus has all authority, he has all power, and he

36
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,000
made a promise that he would be
with us always, even unto the end

37
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,840
of the world. Yes, and
now that promise extends beyond the end of

38
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,439
the world, you see, So
once the end of the world happens,

39
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:15,800
he is promising that we can transcend
this life, this world. Yeah,

40
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:23,360
Maslow's hierarchy of needs has at the
top transcendence. And of course that means

41
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,639
a lot of things to a lot
of people. But to the believer,

42
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,240
that means that there is someone,
not just something out there, but someone

43
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,199
who is bigger than ourselves. And
not just bigger. We have a creator,

44
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:38,400
the creator of the universe, who
created us for his glory, who

45
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:43,439
can't wait for us to be in
heaven with him for a thousand year vacation,

46
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,840
and then that we will inherit the
new Earth. And so Jesus made

47
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,240
a promise to dejected and fearful disciples. And it reads thus in John chapter

48
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,560
fourteen, beginning at verse one,
Let not your heart be troubled. Ye

49
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:03,960
believe in God, believe also in
me. In my father's house are many

50
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,919
mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you I go

51
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,120
to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place

52
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,839
for you, I will come again
and receive you unto myself. That where

53
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:25,160
I am there ye may be also. And so the beauty of this is

54
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:30,800
Jesus is promising this even before he
gave his life for us. He's promising

55
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,680
his disciples that after he gives his
life for us, and then he rests

56
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:43,480
in the tomb and then wakes up, he's resurrected. He takes his life

57
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,360
back like he promised that he would. After he takes his life back and

58
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:54,120
then goes to heaven to minister there
until the appropriate time, he's going to

59
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,079
come back. He's going to come
back. The angel, as the apostles

60
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:03,399
and disciples were, they're watching as
Jesus ascended after being here for some time

61
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,879
after he was resurrected, he said, why stand he gazing here? Like

62
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:15,000
why are you gazing there up into
the sky. This same Jesus who is

63
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,600
going up, will in like manner
return as you have seen him go.

64
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,480
So he's coming back. He's coming
back. And so what I want you

65
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:30,759
to do is to discover and embrace
the end time promise. Sometimes we preachers

66
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,000
get into our feelings and we start
to try to cause fear in people and

67
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,800
say, all of this is going
to burn down, all of this is

68
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,600
going to blow up, all of
these terrible things are going to happen.

69
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,199
And yes, indeed there are some
terrible things that will happen in the last

70
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,319
of the last days. But Jesus
never said that was the way to encourage

71
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,040
people to serve him. In fact, this is an encouragement if I have

72
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,519
ever seen one, that Jesus Christ
is coming back and he is going to

73
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,920
heal the troubled world once and for
all for those who submit our will to

74
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,120
him. He is coming back.
And so, how does this promise give

75
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,360
you the hope amid your uncertainties while
you live on planet Earth, when your

76
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,920
money is funny, when you have
more month than money, How does this

77
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:27,319
encourage you when you are having difficulties
and relationships with your spouse, with your

78
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,319
children, with your parents, like, how does this promise help you when

79
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:34,959
your boss seems to have lost his
or her mind and is putting undue burden

80
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,120
on you or worse. How does
this encourage you? I want you to

81
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,399
do something else. I want you
to envision eternal communion. I want you

82
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800
to see this in your mind,
look forward to it. Based on the

83
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,000
following passage Revelation, chapter twenty one
and verse three, and the Bible reads,

84
00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:03,519
and I heard a loud voice from
heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle

85
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,879
of God is with men, and
he will dwell with them, and they

86
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,680
shall be his people. God himself
shall be with them and be their God.

87
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,879
Jesus is the ultimate tabernacle sanctuary.
The Old Testament writer actually said that

88
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,480
God is a little sanctuary to us. Jesus said, destroy this temple,

89
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000
and in three days I will raise
it up, and he was talking about

90
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,399
his body. And so we see
that Jesus Christ the ultimate sanctuary, the

91
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:42,879
ultimate tabernacle, as we have already
invested a thousand years with him in heaven.

92
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,439
When the Holy city New Jerusalem comes
down from God out of heaven,

93
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,040
John said that he could not see
like he didn't see a temple there,

94
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:57,680
because Jesus Christ is the temple thereof. He's the light and he is the

95
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,519
temple thereof. And so this vision
of eternal communion with God, Jesus being

96
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,480
the focal point and the place that
He has prepared for us being focal with

97
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,360
him. How does that inspire you
in your daily walk like today? Like?

98
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,839
What impact will that have on you
today? What decisions will you make

99
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,600
based on that reality that finally the
ultimate sanctuary, Jesus Christ, the ultimate

100
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,759
one whose presence we have been awaiting, is coming soon and he's coming to

101
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:39,000
deliver us from all evil for the
final time. How does that impact you

102
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,159
today, you're on the road,
when you're at work, how does that

103
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,639
impact you? Go ahead and type
it in the chat if you are online

104
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,399

107
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,519
engage with the essence of redemption.
Here's a quote from the book Desire of

108
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,200
Age's page twenty six, and it
reads, the work of Redemption will be

109
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,759
complete and through endless ages. As
the Redeemed walk in the light of the

110
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Lord, they will praise him for
his unspeakable gift. Emmanuel God with us.

111
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:24,200
I want you to see that in
your mind. I want you to

112
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:31,559
engage with that in your deepest feelings, like meditate. What does it mean

113
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:37,679
for you that God wants to be
with you eternally. The God who will

114
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,759
come back for us will indeed come
when he's coming soon. A wonderful day,

115
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:48,519
Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,360
