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

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, September thirty,

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,079
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,719
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:46,560
where we give you God's word every single day and

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,359
today is no exception. We are continuing in our new

15
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:55,280
lesson study series, Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,960
caption for today is Heirs of the Promise, Heirs of

17
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,640
the Promise. Before we get into that, I'd like to

18
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:05,400
just say welcome to you and ask you to go

19
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,640

Guide and let us know where you are in the

22
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:19,239
world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,079
of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

24
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,040
Let's go ahead and pray and then get underway. Father,

25
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:32,840
thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,159
truth and to apply it to ourselves, not just look

27
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,200
backward to Joshua's experience, but to use that as a

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,120
launch pad for new experiences with You for ourselves. In

29
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:50,319
Jesus' name, I pray amen and amen again, heirs of

30
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,319
the Promise, May I just fast forward? I want to

31
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:59,239
fast forward because the Bible speaks Paul speaking that those

32
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:05,400
who are back tied into Christ are Abraham's seed and

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,520
heirs according to the promise. And so the stories that

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,080
we read through Joshua's experience and the people of God,

35
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:18,360
it is to give us the baseline, give us what

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,719
the mechanism was that got us through to the fulfillment

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,919
of God's promise for his people all the way through

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,000
until we begin eternity with him. Does that make sense

39
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:33,919
to you type of one in the chat? If that,

40
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,360
if that makes sense, please please all right. And so

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,280
what we're going to do is look at this concept

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,520
in three stages, okay, from the Promise to the oath

43
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,319
to the inheritance because the lesson writer used an interesting

44
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:59,280
way of describing the difference between the fulfillment and the promise.

45
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,439
So I'm gonna use use a different prism here, right,

46
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,280
So the promise is God's word as reality, God's word

47
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,159
right now. Like God is speaking to you on the

48
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:15,080
thirtieth day of September, He's making a promise to you.

49
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:20,000
That is his word to you as reality. So if

50
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:24,000
he says in sixty days, ninety days, one hundred and

51
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,400
twenty days in the near future or according to the

52
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,599
Blessed Hope, this is what he's going to do, that

53
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:35,120
is a promise. And because God is eternal, right, he's

54
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,960
the one Jesus, let's speak of it in Jesus' terms.

55
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,039
He's the one who was, the one who is, and

56
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,919
the one who is to come. That means when your

57
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:49,199
ancestors were still living, Jesus was there and before them.

58
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:50,039
Speaker 1: Huh.

59
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: Right now, he's a very present help in trouble. He's

60
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,120
here right now helping you to maximize the moment that

61
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:01,840
you are in about four minutes into our broadcast, and

62
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,400
then of course is to come like at any time

63
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,159
in the future beyond this moment, pause, pause, Yep, he

64
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:14,800
was here already from eternity past, He in his eternal

65
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,319
essence already experienced this moment. It's very difficult to even

66
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,079
begin to fathom what that means. But when God makes

67
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,560
a promise for something that is to be in the future,

68
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,759
it is reality to him, full stop. So when Joshua

69
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,120
stood before the Jordan, the land was still filled with enemies,

70
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,399
it was still bordered by walls. If you want to

71
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,160
say bordered, maybe that's not the best word. And then

72
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,959
it was also littered with kings. And yet God said,

73
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,480
according to Joshua chapter one, verses four and five, from

74
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,519
the wilderness and this Lebanon, even unto the great river,

75
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,560
the river Euphrates shall be shall be. That's a promise.

76
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,959
That is God's saying what is to come, full stop.

77
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,120
As if it is now, there shall be not any

78
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,639
man be able to stand before ye that will be

79
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,160
your coast. Okay, nobody's going to be able to stand.

80
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,720
And so God spoke as if the lend was already theirs.

81
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:32,759
Why because his promise is sure. Remember God's word is reality. Okay.

82
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,480
So the lesson for me, and hopefully you're taking the

83
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,959
same lesson, is when God promises forgiveness, guidance, or victory.

84
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,839
It's not a wish, it's not a hope, it's not

85
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,120
a dream. It is reality. Now, let's move to oath.

86
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,120
God's covenant cannot be broken. God's covenant cannot be broken.

87
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,680
The New Testament reminds us that God not only makes

88
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,360
promises right. God's what he says is reality, but he

89
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,040
seals them with an oath. It's a guarantee. God is

90
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:11,480
saying that on the basis of his godness, on the

91
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:15,160
basis of the fact that he is Creator God, Hallelujah,

92
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,639
blessed be his name, He's able to seal this. And

93
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,519
we read in Hebrews chapter six, verses seventeen and eighteen,

94
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,120
wherein God confirmed it by an oath, that by two

95
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:37,000
immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie.

96
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,199
So the beauty of this, and I'm leaving some things out,

97
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,000
is that the inheritance is not based on the people

98
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279
of God's strength or worthiness. I hope you're not seeing

99
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,120
yourself in the Kingdom of Heaven and on the earth

100
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:56,160
made new based on your strength or your worthiness. It

101
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,959
was based on God's covenantal oath. God's words words reality. Yes,

102
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:09,879
sealed sealed by an oath, because his word is bond.

103
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,600
His word is his bond, and of course sealed in

104
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:16,879
the blood of Christ. I wish it we had the time. Likewise,

105
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,160
your salvation doesn't rest on your feelings. Some people are

106
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,360
too much in their feelings your past, remember God was there,

107
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,160
or your weaknesses, but on God's unchangeable word. So when

108
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:37,000
doubts arise, anchor your hope not in yourself, but in

109
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,279
God's oath. It is impossible for God to lie. Impossible

110
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,680
because when God speaks, it is reality. Can we go

111
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:48,439
back to the promise. So if God said, at this

112
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,680
moment in time, and I'm speaking from where I am

113
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,759
in Jamaica, right in Jamaica, it is morning time. But

114
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:01,600
if he said it's evening, immediately it becomes evening. Why

115
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:06,680
because God's word is reality. Now, let's go to inheritance

116
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,600
and come to a swift close living as God's heirs.

117
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
So God has made his promise. We're living in God's

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600
reality of now. He said it shall be, and we

119
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,480
live knowing that that's the reality because it is sealed

120
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,439
by God's oath. Right, So if we know that the

121
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,199
inheritance is coming, then we should be living now as

122
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:33,600
if we had it in our hands. In reality, the

123
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Bible reads in Romans, chapter eight and verse seventeen. And

124
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,840
if children, if we're God's children, then we are heirs,

125
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,600
heirs of God. And it gets better joint heirs with Christ.

126
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:53,720
You see, Christ, having lived the human situation, he took

127
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,919
on flesh in order to save us from our sins. Right,

128
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,240
he died the death that we deserve so that we

129
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:04,200
can live the life that he deserves. Since that's the fact,

130
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,200
we are joint heirs with Christ, and he has the

131
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:11,639
key to the kingdom. All power is in his hand.

132
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,399
Blessed be his name. And therefore, since Christ is already

133
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:21,960
the fulfillment of airship, because He's not waiting for anything

134
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:26,720
to transpire, to be the heir of all great and

135
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:31,279
immeasurable things that we can't even fathom today, that all

136
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,720
we have to do is accept the mindset and cooperate

137
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,240
with God that we are now heirs, fellow heirs with Christ,

138
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,120
live daily as an heir of eternity.

139
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we

140
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,279
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

141
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

142
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day, Yeah,
