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 --> 00:00:15,080
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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Monday, October

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,359
twenty twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:42,960
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,039
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,159
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,520
study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption

16
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:59,960
for today is War in Heaven, War in Heaven. Go

17
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,159
ahead and pray and then get underway. Father, We thank you,

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,200
thank you for this day. Thank you for giving us

19
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:09,200
the privilege of being called by your name and to

20
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,959
have the Captain of the heavenly Hosts on our side.

21
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,439
I pray that we will no longer have battles in

22
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:21,560
wars against you. In Jesus' name, I pray amen, and

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,439
a man again war in heaven. Now, let me start

24
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,239
here before we get into the lesson and ask you

25
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:33,719
was our Friday night session fruitful for you? Like? Would

26
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,680
you join us again Friday night at seven pm on

27
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:41,359
the YouTube channel for your daily portion? Just say yes

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,040
to music again, Yes to music in the chat or

29
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,680
in the comment section after the fact. If if this

30
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:51,120
was something that was beneficial to you, then we will

31
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:54,640
consider having this worship session again. And that comes to

32
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:59,000
my mind because the one who was in charge of

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,359
many things, but the covering Cherub, Lucifer, one of his

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,159
gifts and responsibilities had to do with ushering the heavenly

35
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,280
agencies into worship his pipes. The Bible talks about his

36
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:21,520
ability to emit music. I don't know. Did he sing

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,960
music in harmony? Did his vocal chords sound like organs?

38
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,280
I don't know. All I know is that that was

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,520
part of his responsibility. And this is why many of

40
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,560
your music ministries, in different churches and in different types

41
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,199
of ministries are under attack because Lucifer, the former Lucifer,

42
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,759
who is now the devil no longer has the privilege

43
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,879
of ushering people into true worship, and so he ushers

44
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,080
in the counterfeit instead. And there was war in heaven.

45
00:02:55,479 --> 00:03:00,840
Joshua understood that the battle was part of a larger conflict.

46
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,759
And of course, some of you are awaiting this passage

47
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:08,360
from the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter twelve, And I'll

48
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,400
begin reading at verse seven Revelation chapter twelve, And I

49
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,400
will begin at verse seven, And the Bible reads, and

50
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,240
war broke out in heaven. Mike Al and his angels

51
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:25,479
fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.

52
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,280
So now we have Jesus and the heavenly bodies who

53
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,039
are holy, and then Lucifer, who has now fallen and

54
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,199
become the Dragon, and his angels. They are having a

55
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,680
war in heaven. But of course, of course, the Bible

56
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:44,199
continues in verse eight. But they, meaning the Devil and

57
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,400
his evil angels, did not prevail, nor was a place

58
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,159
found for them in heaven any longer. So the great

59
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:00,919
Dragon was cast out. He was cast out of old,

60
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:05,520
called the devil and Satan, who deceives the entire world.

61
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,719
He was cast out into the earth, and his angels

62
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,879
were cast out with him. And Joshua understood that what

63
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
he was up against was not human. Only he knew

64
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,879
that there were principalities and powers and rulers of the

65
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,759
darkness of this world, in spiritual wickedness and high places

66
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,240
that he had to contend with. And in Isaiah chapter fourteen,

67
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,199
the Bible continues to describe the devil as he is fallen,

68
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:36,240
beginning at verse twelve, How art thou fallen from Heaven?

69
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,720
Oh Lucifer, Son of the Morning. You could look at

70
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,279
the passage as a text, as a statement to just

71
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:47,319
identifies that Lucifer had fallen, or you could also look

72
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,439
at it as how in the world did you put

73
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,279
yourself in that situation? There are human beings right now

74
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,040
under the influence of the enemy of our souls, and

75
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,680
you wonder they are so gifted, they are are so talented.

76
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:08,399
They seem to be great contributors to their community associations,

77
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:12,800
your homeowners association, or your school what do you call

78
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,519
it pta, or the team that your children are playing

79
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,800
in American football or football in Jamaica and other parts

80
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,519
of the world, or in other events, like you wonder,

81
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,560
how can this guy, how can this woman? How can

82
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,319
they be whoa they did that. How art thou falling?

83
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:34,680
This is what God is saying, like, after all that

84
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,519
I entrusted to you all of the great things that

85
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,639
you had done in my presence, and you're fallen. How

86
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,879
aren't you are? How you are cut down to the ground,

87
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,639
You who weakened the nations for you said in your heart,

88
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:54,879
I will ascend. Oh, he had an eye problem unto heaven.

89
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,160
I will exalt my throne above the stars. What thrown?

90
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,319
What thrown is he talking about? So he's usurping or

91
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:06,399
attempting to usurp the authority of God. I will exalt

92
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,240
my throne above the stars. I will also sit on

93
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,639
the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of

94
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,519
the north. I will ascend, excuse me, ascend above the

95
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,120
heights of the clouds. And then he does it. Then

96
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,879
he does it. He says, I will be like the

97
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,439
most high. And in many ways, the enemy of our

98
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,480
souls has people on planet Earth who think and behave

99
00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:37,600
in the same way. There were people during the time

100
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,399
of Joshua, whole nations who felt like they were big

101
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,040
and strong enough to contend with the people of God,

102
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,000
whose commander in chief is God like they thought that

103
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,360
they had a chance. They thought that all that they

104
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:58,040
had heard about the exploits of the people of God

105
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,079
under his authority, all of that stuff that had happened

106
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,079
in the past, they thought that they would be immune

107
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,360
to it. And they tried to war against God's people.

108
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,040
And in the same way that the devil, that the

109
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,439
devil tried it in heaven, he tries it on planet Earth.

110
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:17,600
And there's sometimes that we pray, according to Daniel Danielle

111
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,680
chapter ten, Well, just read the entire chapter. There are

112
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,319
times that we pray, and we're praying, and sometimes we think,

113
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:28,360
as we are fasting, we are crying, we are begging,

114
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,920
we are awaiting the voice of God, the answer to

115
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,839
prayer that we had been anticipating, and it seems like

116
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:40,000
it'll never happen. And in Daniel's case, it was twenty

117
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,160
one long days that he was hoping for an answer

118
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:48,279
to prayer, seeking God's face, and nothing, or at least

119
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,680
apparently nothing. But we read in Daniel chapter ten that

120
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,800
basically the angel Gabriel, in the four minutes that it

121
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,639
took for Daniel to pray his prayer, had already been

122
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,800
given the command to go down and to give Daniel

123
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,839
everything he needed that the Bible says that he was

124
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,000
hung up in traffic for twenty one days. The angel

125
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:12,079
of God, Gabriel was hung up in traffic, and therefore

126
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,279
God sent the commander of the heavenly armies, Jesus Christ himself.

127
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,879
Jesus now goes down and says, Gabriel, I got it

128
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,360
from here. I'll deal with the enemy. Here you go

129
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,879
and deal with my beloved son Daniel, and give him

130
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:33,440
the skill, give him the encouragement, give him the message

131
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,000
that he needs to get through. So sometimes your prayers

132
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,879
are answered in the moment that you prayed them, and

133
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,279
God has already dispatched heavenly angels to give you what

134
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,399
you need. And yet the enemy sometimes withstands them and

135
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,200
it takes a second. But just know that God always

136
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,320
comes through. And so Daniel was a good example of

137
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:06,120
the situation where where Josiah Joshua was going through whatever

138
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,879
his battles were, right before the people of God went

139
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:13,600
into the Promised Land. And so what I want to

140
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:17,200
do here is focus your attention in our life application

141
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,440
guide that you can get at your Daily portion dot Com.

142
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Go ahead and type of one in the chat. If

143
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,440
you already have it type of one in the chat,

144
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,559
and I want you to focus on the relationship application,

145
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,799
the relationship application. And let me just say one thing,

146
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,600
one thing, that God is the one who is overcoming

147
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,679
the principalities and powers because people are not our enemy.

148
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,519
The devil is Thanks for to.

149
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,759
Speaker 1: Days listening friends, always remember we cannot live by bread alone,

150
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,720
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

151
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,399
This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.

152
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:58,039
Make it a great day.

153
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah,
