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 Sunday, June nine, twenty twenty four. 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, the Great Controversy.
Our caption for today is Revelations Final Conflict. Revelations Final Conflict. We'll
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome

Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father
and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this new day and for the opportunity
we have to see into your word how we can connect with you and remain
connected. Father, Please help us to live according to your principles, no
matter what is happening around us, and then one day we'll get to see
you as you are in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again.
Revelations Final conflict. Ooh, this is a good one. This is
a good one. The message of revelation, according to the lesson writer,
is much more than cryptic symbols. I've said this to you. I started
out this quarter eleven weeks ago on this right. It's more than cryptic symbols.
It's more than strange beasts and odd images. In fact, I said
to you that we should not be satisfied with being able simply to identify all
of these What do these symbols mean. What do these images and beasts mean?
What are their particular dates? That should not be the end or the
outcome of our study. That is just part of our study. We should
be seeking connection with God, seeking his will for our lives and how we
should impact the people and the world around us so that they can be saved.
You see. Okay? It speaks of eternal truths given by a loving
God to an end time generation. The conflict between Christ and Satan began in
heaven. Over get this worship over worship. It will come to its final
climax. How over worship? You see that? Yeah? So it began
about worship and will it will end about worship? Okay? So are you
connected with God? I want you to type it in the chat like is
God your friend? Is Jesus your friend? Do you experience the power of
the Holy Spirit? Type a yes or no? And I want you to
be honest if you do not experience the power of the Holy Ghost. I'd
like to know why. Why? Because the Bible says when He the Spirit
of Truth, has come, he will guide us into all truth, the
things about God, the things about ourselves and how we need God. We
will teach whatsoever Jesus commanded, because Jesus promised he would be with us himself.
Jesus always, even unto the end of the world. And so if
you you are not connected to God through the power of the Holy Spirit,
then today is your day, really and truly, today's your day. If
you hear his voice. The Holy Spirit is the one that's bringing the voice
of God to you. I will wing you if you hear his voice today.
Don't harden your heart. Just accept. Accept that you will be in
connection with God. Accept that you can surrender your will to Him, except
that He can give you a new life. Beginning at this very moment,
at almost five minutes into our broadcast for this morning, I just pray that
you will do it today, okay, And so I want to really begin
with the Book of Revelation, chapter four and verse eleven. It's a worship
scene. In fact, Roman Revelation chapters four and five are a worship scene
in heaven. And so the Bible reads, Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honor and power, for Thou hast cated all things
and for thy pleasure they were created. And so God has given us the
code he's given us what it means for us to be connected with him.
Yes, true worship is central to connection with God. In fact, the
Bible says that God inhabited the praises of his people. That means that He's
present when we praise him. When we live a lifestyle of worship like Enoch
did, it means that we are walking with God just like Enoch did.
Yes, and so acknowledge God as creator. Don't just acknowledge him, but
recognize and affirm his role as creator in your life. That means that wherever
he says, go, you'll go. If he says to pause and slow
down, you'll pause and slow down. You understand whatever he commands, you
will accept it and live according to those principles. And I know some people
don't like the word command, because you've had some humans try to command and
force you to do all kinds of things that I don't really resonate with you.
But God's word must resonate. If we're his children, if we're set
aside for a holy use by His word through the Holy Ghost, then we're
in a good position. And so when we see that God is worthy,
we let him know that we know that He's worthy. When we see that
He is all powerful. Blessed be his name. We do share and teach
and live according to principles that manifest His power. Power over the rum bottle
right, power over my attitude, power over me not having self control,
power over my conversations and my entertainment, what I do with my time with
the resources God is entrusted to me. Yes, And so we thank God
for this. And of course we have said many times, remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
In it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy man servant, nor thy made servant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days, literal
days, the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that indom
is. And then God rested. We're talking about way back then. God
rested thousands of years ago and blessed the Sabbath day. Wherefore the Lord rest
the Sabbath day and made it holy. And so we follow in his footsteps.
This is what Jesus also did when he lived on planet Earth. The
Bible says in Revelation chapter fourteen and verse twelve, here is the patience of
the saints. Here are they that do what keep the commandments of God?
Who are these that keep the commandments of God? The saints in the last
days and at any time in Earth's history, But in the last days the
saints of God? Do what keep the commandments of God? How do we
keep the commandments of God? Oh, by the way, we have the
faith of Jesus. Bible says that Jesus is the author and finisher of our
faith. He's the one that gives us both to will and to do of
his good pleasure. Right at the end analysis he said to fear God and
do his commandments, and be just. This is the entire duty of man.
This is what the Bible teaches us and will man by the way.
And in the Book of John chapter four and verse twenty four, the Bible
says, God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth. That means according to his guidelines, his principles,
his standards, not something that we made up, not something that we
say, Well, if I like it, then I'll do it. No
yield ourselves to God, and He will give us brand new hearts, and
then our desires will begin to align with His desires, even when sometimes God
forbid it is painful. And then the Bible gives us another code. I
call it a code. But because some of the young people who use gaming
as a way of entertaining themselves, there are cheat codes, right and you
may not like that association, but this is how some people refer to it.
But God has given us the guideline like he's given us, He's given
us the back door channel to say, this is how you can do it,
and do it simply. In two Timothy, chapter two and verse fifteen,
this is how you win. This is how you win in the game
of life. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word of truth, the message of
God's word becomes a part of our lifestyle. In the last days. There
are all kinds of lies and conflicts, but God is saying, associate yourselves
with God, become his children, and do his will. 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,
