Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, July
twenty nine, twenty twenty five. 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 through the Book of Exodus, and our
caption for today is Paysock paysock and yeah, that has
to do with passover. Before we get into that, I'd
like to just say welcome to everyone joining us, especially
those joining us for the very first time. I'm asking
you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
Please join our online community. Pick up your Daily Portion
Life application Guide and let us know where you are
in the world at your daily portion dot com. This
is one of the ways that we continue to build
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then
we will get underway. Father, we thank you for this day.
Thank you for being our paysock, our passover. Thank you
for giving us the opportunity to come together and give
thanks together. You said, where two or three are gathered
together in your name, then you would be in the
midst of us. So thank you being for being among
us around the world in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
and Amen again. Paysock big word, but even bigger meaning.
And so I'm going to become a little bit. I'm
gonna be literal at this moment. So the root word
for paysock is to pass over, to skip, or to spare.
I said to pass over, to skip, or to spare. Now,
you wouldn't want to be passed over or skipped for
something wonderful, right, You don't want to be passed over
for that promotion. You don't want to be skipped in
the line as you're just about to get that thing
that you've been waiting four hours online for. You don't
want to be spared in certain situations. However, However, if
we are being spared from eternal condemnation, if we are
being spared from separation from God, if we are being
skipped for condemnatory judgment, like if we are being passed
over when the death Angel is passing through through where
the people are that don't love God, then I think
this is a reason to be thankful. And so this
describes the moment, obviously that Yahweh, Blessed be his name,
spared the people of God's homes through the final plague
in Egypt in Exodus chapter twelve, based on the blood
of the lamb placed on the door posts. It became
the name of the feast that commemorates the event passover.
And obviously, I will say, obviously the people of God
in the last days are no longer celebrating it in
the traditional sense, not the traditional sense. We have the
Lord's Supper now as our commemoration of what God did
for the people of God. Then, but let me read
from a few places. One from Patriarchs and Prophets, page
two hundred and seventy seven. The passover was to be
both a memorial. Remember, they were to teach their children,
Like what was the meaning of this pesah? Like what
is the meaning of this a memorial and a prophecy?
It commemorated the deliverance from Egypt. But let me just say,
our only purpose for looking backwards in this case, looking
back into the history of the people of God, is
so that we can thank God for what he had done,
but also what He is doing in us even today.
That is it pointed to the greater deliverance from sin.
Are you thankful that God is sparing you from sin?
Are you thankful that God is passing over you if
you are His child, so that you will not be
destroyed based on your sin? Aren't you glad that you
can walk in the newness of life today? Coming in
from the Desire of Ages, page seventy seven, Each family
must show personal faith in the blood of the Lamb.
The service was individual. I want you to get that.
It's not Grandma's connection with God. It's not Grandpa's connection
with God. It's not your uncle or your auntie, your guardian,
the persons who came before you. It is all about you.
It's like that song, it's me, It's me, It's me.
Oh Lord, Standing in the need of prayer, not my mama,
not my papa. But it's me, o Lord, I'm the
one standing in the need of prayer. But I get
to now be covered in the blood in the same way. Yes,
I'm grateful when my mama and my papa were covered.
I'm grateful that people, hundreds of thousands of you who
are watching and listening every day are being covered by
the blood of the Lamb. I'm thankful for that, But
it needs to be me. Oh Lord. It's solemn, and
it's also joyful, so we don't have to have that
solemn face at all times. There are times that we
we jump up and praise God for the great things
that He has done for us. This is why the
Bible talks about that will we will sing the song
of Moses and the Lamb, just like Miriam and her
sisters did back in Exodus chapter fifteen. Yes, so Exodus
fifteen and Revelation fifteen go together, and we will rejoice,
and we should start today and then from the book
The Story of Redemption, page one hundred and twenty one,
the lamb was a symbol or type of Christ, the
blood shielding the door. Did you hear that word shielding?
The door was a symbol or a type of his atonement.
That means that we become at one with God. The
unleavened bread was a symbol of purity. So much I
could say, But God still passes overs who are covered
in the blood of Jesus Ha. The peasock isn't about
just rituals from back then. It's about the trust in
God's provision for salvation. So much more I could say,
But let me go now to three lessons. Three lessons
in particular, the first from Exodus, chapter twelve and verse thirteen.
Let me just say again that repetition deepens the impression.
Now we're going to attach it to actual scriptures. And
the blood shall be to you for a token upon
the houses where ye are, And when I see the blood,
I will pass over you. And so the action for
this particular lesson is claim daily the blood of Jesus.
I said, claim daily. I mean, even in this moment,
the blood of Jesus over your life, life and your
household in prayer. Have you done that? For today you're awake,
you're listening to me. Hopefully you w' have already connected
to God. Apart from this broadcast, claim the blood over
you and your household in prayer, choose obedience that activates
the divine covering over your life. Number two comes in
from Hebrews chapter eleven and verse twenty eight. Through faith,
he kept passover and sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the first born should touch them. And so the
step is, don't just believe in the promises of God
in air quotes, actually act upon them. Align your behavior
with your belief. Salvation required faith, but it needed to
be acted upon. And then finally, in First Corinthians, chapter
five and verse seven, the Bible reads, for even Christ,
our passover is sacrificed for us. The blood of the
lamb obviously points forward, I can say, obviously in twenty
twenty five obviously points forward, pointed forward to Jesus's redeeming work.
So accept this today. No, no, no, don't accept this.
Accept him today. Accept Jesus's sacrifice for you, not just
for the whole world. Yes, for God so loved the
world that he gave. But we're talking about you, like
fill in your name here and let the truth of
the Gospel shape your identity and your decisions. If you're
a child of the King, covered and being passed over. Yeah,
then act like it.
Speaker 1: That's your gag in 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,
