1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,759
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, November seventeen,

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,280
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

where we give you God's Word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,759

00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,479
study series themes in the Gospel of John. Our caption

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,000
for today is Signs Works and Wonders. That signs works

17
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,320
and Wonders. We'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,519
but first I'd like to say thank you and welcome

19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,319

29
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:38,480
one thousand people to come into the spiritual development session

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,400
and connection. And please, please, please, this is one of

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,560
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,319
Don't underestimate it. Yeah, let's go ahead and pray and

33
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,640
then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you

34
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,599
for giving us the opportunity to come together at the

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,359
beginning of our work week, at the beginning of our day,

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200
to connect with you. I'm praying now, Father, that you

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,280
will transform our lives, that we will see your wonderful

38
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:11,080
works in our lives. In our lives Father, in Jesus name,

39
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:20,199
I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay. Signs, works and wonders. Okay,

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,080
So there are times that people get confused about signs,

41
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:28,719
works and wonders. Sometimes we put too much emphasi emphasies

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,439
on those because we're looking for something spectacular or fantastical

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
to get our attention. Well, this is not what Jesus

44
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:42,039
is trying to do. When he does signs and works

45
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:47,039
and wonders. He's doing it because he is leading us

46
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,319
into a right connection with him. He's doing it as

47
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:55,560
he lived on planet Earth in league with God our Father.

48
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,840
And so his signs, his works, his wonders were all

49
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,199
in unison with God. They were never apart from God.

50
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:09,240
They were never intended to be a proof of anything.

51
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:13,719
And yeah, and yet and still we do know when

52
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:16,560
we see him with his signs, we see him in

53
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,000
his mighty works and wonders, he is indeed the Messiah. Yes,

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,560
he indeed is the God, the Son, the one who

55
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,000
pre existed his body, who lived throughout eternity past. But

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,240
he had decided and volunteered in league with God our Father,

57
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
to come here and save us from our sins. Okay,

58
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,199
And so I know I said a lot. I said

59
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:42,520
a lot. But let's read a few passages and see

60
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,240
what we can gather from them. Okay. So we begin

61
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:48,680
now from the Book of John chapter five. That's the

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,879
Book of John, chapter five. And I will read verse seventeen,

63
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,879
and the Bible reads but Jesus answered them, my father

64
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:03,520
worketh hitherto, and I work. Jesus is showing that he

65
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:10,120
and his father continue to work together. From before you

66
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:14,879
ever knew Jesus on planet Earth, he was working with

67
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:17,920
the Father. I'm going to come back to that verse twenty,

68
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,120
verse twenty, for the Father loveth the son and show

69
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,720
with him all things that he himself himself doeth. And

70
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,319
he will show him greater works than these, that ye

71
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:36,439
may marvel see some of you who have these limited mindsets,

72
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,680
some of you who can only believe when you see,

73
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:42,839
God is going to show you something that you cannot

74
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:45,800
explain in your natural mind. And you are going to

75
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
have to either worship God in the beauty of holiness

76
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,720
or decide to sear your own conscience as with an

77
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,800
hot iron and reject God. There will be no middle ground, okay,

78
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,000
And so verse thirty six of John chapter five beginning there.

79
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,519
But I have greater witness than that of John, the

80
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,639
works which the Father hath given them given me to finish.

81
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,319
Excuse me. The same works that I do bear witness

82
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,720
of me that the Father hath sent me. So when

83
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:19,920
you see Jesus on the move, you see him with

84
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,279
his signs, works and wonders while he lived on planet Earth,

85
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,839
as he taught the word of God with power and authority.

86
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:30,399
When he commanded the devils, and even the devils did obey.

87
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,680
When he commanded the sea winds and the waves to

88
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:38,959
cease all of their mess and loudness and conflagration, like

89
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,920
when they had to listen, it was because he was

90
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:45,240
in league with God our Father. It was because he,

91
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,319
in his divinity, was able to command, and those things

92
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,079
had to yield. Oh, I wish I had the time.

93
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,399
I wish I had the time. But he did nothing

94
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,199
separate from his father Verse thirty seven. And the Father himself,

95
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
which had sent me, he hath born witness of me.

96
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,680
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor

97
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,800
seen his shape, And ye have not his word abiding

98
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,959
in you. He's speaking to his detractors. He's speaking to

99
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,959
the ones who are supposedly the children of God and

100
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560
the leaders of God's people. He is speaking to them

101
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,240
and saying, you've never seen the face of God our Father,

102
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:24,920
but I have. You have not seen the fullness of

103
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,319
the works of God our Father, But I have, Ah,

104
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:30,959
I have heard the voice of God our Father. I

105
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,959
am one with him. I have been in his presence,

106
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,800
I have seen him in the fullness of who he is,

107
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,120
and you have not. And you don't have the word

108
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,040
in abiding in you, for whom the Bible continues, he

109
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,800
hath sent him. Ye believe not. How could you say

110
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,879
that you are connected to God and not believe in me?

111
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:54,839
This is what Jesus is saying. How could you say

112
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,480
that you are connected to the Father, and yet you

113
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,759
do not believe in me? And so I am thinking back, like,

114
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,560
what are the greatest works of God? And I know,

115
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,560
I know, as I was preparing in my mind to

116
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,720
ask this question, I said, but Dave, you can't. You

117
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560
can't rate the works of God. You can't put them

118
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,040
in a hierarchical order. Your mind is not sufficient to

119
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,639
even grapple with such a question. And so, in my

120
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:26,240
limited mindset, I try to answer. And I'm not saying

121
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,879
I'm correct, but my mind is saying, okay, But the

122
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:34,439
one who created all things animate and inanimate, Jesus Christ,

123
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,680
the righteous one in league with God, our Father. That

124
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,600
is a manifestation of power that we are not able

125
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,079
to see in any other being, any other imaginative, imaginated being,

126
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:52,879
any manufactured and fabricated being. Only God can create. Blessed

127
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,959
be his name. Can I say that again? Only God

128
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,639
can create. I know we say we're creative. I get it.

129
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,839
That means that we borrowed something from God. Whatever we

130
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:07,160
do that we consider to be creative, we borrowed that

131
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,800
from God. And when we see Jesus saying, let there

132
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:14,120
be light, and there was light when we see Jesus

133
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:17,519
say that the waters need to be separated from the waters,

134
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,199
and it was so when Jesus said, let the fruits

135
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,199
and vegetation come forth according to their own kind, along

136
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,319
with those creatures that creep upon the earth, those creatures

137
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,799
that swim in the seas, those creatures that populate the

138
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,000
heavens in the air above us. When he said that

139
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720
they should bring forth after their kind, and it was so.

140
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,639
We see the signs, the works and wonders of God

141
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:47,120
in full swing. When Jesus came down and he molded

142
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,000
him a man and breathed into him the breath of life,

143
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,600
and he became a living soul. When he performed that

144
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,600
surgery and created a woman, and Adam saw her and said,

145
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,080
I will call her woman because us she came forth

146
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,120
from man and Jesus breathed into her body the same

147
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:09,080
breath that is still in our lungs today. We see

148
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,000
that that is the signs that works, the wonders of

149
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:17,440
God in full swing. And also also when Jesus, the

150
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,919
creator of the universe, recreates us, he's doing this in

151
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,039
league with God, our Father. When he is giving us

152
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,080
salvation as a gift and we become new creatures. We're

153
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,639
seeing the signs and works of one and wonders in

154
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,039
our lives that no one can replicate. We yield our

155
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,840
will to Jesus Christ in league with our Father, and

156
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,039
we are saying peace.

157
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

158
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

159
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

160
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
