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 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Friday. It's

11
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:40,159
May nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,840
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,200
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,439
lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our

16
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:59,600
caption for today is the Worthy Lamb, The Worthy Lamb.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,880
We'll get into that in just a moment, but before

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,480
we do, I'd like to say welcome to everyone joining us,

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,599
especially those joining us for the very first time. Please

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,599
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. That the

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,159
link is going to be right about here. In just

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920
a moment, your Daily Portion dot com. I want you

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,200
to join our online community. There will be a red

24
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:23,640
button when you're there. I want you to join that

25
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:28,400
community as well, and pick up your Daily Portion Companion guide.

26
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:31,799
That is the one that we use for life application.

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,400
I may go into it again today, but regardless, if

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,560
you have it, you can download it, you can get

29
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,319
it as a physical copy, and that will help you

30
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:45,239
to again apply the truths that we talk about every

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,879
single day at your Daily Portion dot com. This is

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,239
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

33
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,840
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then we

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,599
will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,239
us the privilege of being called by your name and

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,120
for your worthiness. You are holy. Please teach us, teach

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,319
us how the worthiness of Jesus Christ transforms our lives.

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,439
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a man again,

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,280
let me just say that there is no competition in heaven.

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,919
There is no competition in heaven. And so the scene

41
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:28,199
where I'm not going to go into it, but the

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,400
scene in Revelation chapters four and five where worship is

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,960
happening in chapter four, all of the beings, those created

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,719
beings that are pictured, there are worshiping God our Father.

45
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,800
And then in chapter five, the one who comes from

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,639
the midst of the throne, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560
lion of the tribe of Judah, the worthy lamb of God,

48
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,159
which taketh away the sins of the world. He appears,

49
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,520
and then all of those creatures begin to worship Jesus.

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,520
There was no competition in heaven. I wish I really

51
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,439
had the time this morning to deal with that truth.

52
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,960
But God is so faithful, and you want to know, well,

53
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:14,680
how is he faithful? The question really is is Jesus

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,159
worthy in your life? Is he worthy in your life

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,039
and mine? Is he worthy in our lives? Now we're

56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,599
going to read first from a quote from the book

57
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,960
Patriarchs and Prophets, page sixty three, and then I'll give

58
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:37,680
you some practical reality here, okay. And so it comes

59
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:41,759
this way. The broken Law of God demanded the life

60
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000
of the sinner. In all the universe, there was but

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,680
one who could on behalf of humankind satisfy its claims.

62
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:56,240
Since the divine Law was as sacred, is as sacred

63
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:02,560
as God himself. Only one equal with God, only one

64
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:08,599
equal with God, our Father. Could make atonement for its transgression.

65
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,919
So the only way that we can be saved is

66
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,759
if the one who is equal to God, our Father,

67
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,759
gives his life in our place to atone for our sins.

68
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,800
I wish I had the time. This is Jesus. None

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,240
other than Jesus, none but Christ could redeem fallen humankind

70
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,040
from the curse of the law and bring him again

71
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:36,240
into harmony with Heaven. Christ would take upon himself the

72
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,720
guilt and shame of sin, sin so offensive to a

73
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,600
holy God that it must separate the Father and his son.

74
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,959
I want you to see Jesus in your mind on

75
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,480
the cross, when he's crying out, My God, My God,

76
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:57,480
why hast thou forsaken me? And my brother and friend

77
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Eric Thomas said one time we were having a discussion.

78
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:05,759
He said, God never answered. The Father never answered. He

79
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,879
never answered. In all of these years that I've been

80
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,079
teaching this word, I've been writing for God's Church for years,

81
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,600
and it never even occurred to me that the Father

82
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,319
did not answer. He didn't answer. Well. In the Jordan

83
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:22,079
River he answered, he said, this is my beloved son,

84
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,800
and whom I am well pleased. In another place, he said,

85
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,040
this is my beloved son hear him, and so he

86
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:32,399
didn't need to answer. In that moment, Jesus needed to

87
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,680
feel separated, not that he was, but feel separated because

88
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:42,600
sin separates us from God. Sin separates us from God,

89
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,680
and so sin so offensive to a holy God that

90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,120
it must separate the father and son. Christ would reach

91
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,399
to the depths of misery to rescue the ruined race,

92
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,639
that is the human race. Jesus went through a lot

93
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,480
to save us. Can I just say that? Can I

94
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,279
say that I wish I had the time. Let's jump

95
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,279
into the Bible and make this practical for us. Relationship

96
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,319
centric from the Bible Book of Luke in chapter eighteen

97
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,160
and verse one. The Bible reads and he spake a

98
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,439
parable unto them to this end, Men ought also to

99
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:26,319
pray and not faint. See what we're looking for now

100
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,600
in this moment, Understanding that Jesus Christ is worthy, Understanding

101
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,639
that he went through all of this, this darkness in

102
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,639
order to save us from our sins. Now, how do

103
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040
we remain connected to him? Well, let's begin with prayer.

104
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,480
Men ought always to pray and to not faint. We

105
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,720
need to be in a continuous dialogue with God, continuous

106
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:54,000
relationship with God, just like Enoch. The Bible says that

107
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:57,360
he walked with him. Well, since I don't walk in

108
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:01,240
heavenly places, when I pray, do not bring God down

109
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,920
to me, but brings me up to Christ, up to

110
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,800
God our Father through Christ. And therefore now we are

111
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,879
seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places when we pray.

112
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,079
So we need to practice the visible presence of God

113
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,600
and pray continually, and that will forge our connection with Him.

114
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:26,199
Of course, of course, in John chapter fourteen and verse fifteen,

115
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:29,560
many of us love to quote this in evangelistic series,

116
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,199
but we need to quote this to ourselves and our

117
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,279
own lives every morning that we awake, and every afternoon

118
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,480
that we pray again, and every evening that we pray again,

119
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,839
and any time in between where we are talking to God.

120
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,120
The Bible reads, if you love me, keep my commandments.

121
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,240
It doesn't make sense to just talk to God. It

122
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:55,279
doesn't make sense just to talk about God, but to

123
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,160
have the power of God in our lives, having submitted

124
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,360
to His will through this prayer, experience, this relationship with God,

125
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,680
seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places where we can't

126
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,560
be there. If we're disobedient if it's a habit of

127
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,600
ours to turn our backs on God. When he says,

128
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,639
there is a person that you can be kind to

129
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720
in this practical way, go do it right. Now. Here

130
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:20,639
is a way that you can yield your will to

131
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
me by faith. When you want to go left, and

132
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,000
I say, go right, and then turn and bend around

133
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800
the corner and go back and reverse. God is saying

134
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,600
that if you love him, then he'll empower you to

135
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:36,559
do exactly what he said. And then from the Bible

136
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,759
Book of Galatians, chapter five, beginning at verse twenty two,

137
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,919
the Bible reads, but the fruit of the spirit, the

138
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,480
fruit of the spirit is love. That is a singular term, fruit,

139
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,519
not fruits with an s. Fruit of the spirit is love.

140
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,519
And now we can see how this love works out,

141
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,679
or the outworkings of this love. It's joy, it's peace,

142
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,200
it's long suffering, its gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness. That's power

143
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:06,320
under control by the way temperance against such there is

144
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:10,120
no law, that is no condemnation. And so when we

145
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,039
are praying, we have this right relationship with Christ. We're

146
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,080
seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. We are connecting

147
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:21,720
with him, and he is empowering us to actually do

148
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:25,559
his will, keep his commandments. The Bible is teaching us

149
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,919
that there is a fruit that will be manifest and

150
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320
that fruit is love, and then all of the other

151
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120
aspects that show us what love looks like. So Jesus

152
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,720
is worthy? Is he worthy in my life? Well? I

153
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,600
think we have some markers of whether we believe this

154
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:44,799
or not. Peace.

155
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

156
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

157
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

158
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
