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
00:00:15,199 --> 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 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,799
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, March tenth,

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,719
twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,359
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:46,719
where we give you God's Word every single day and

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,640
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:56,679
study series uniting Heaven and Earth, christ in Philippians and Colossians,

16
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,280
and our caption is Renewed in Knowledge, Renewed in Knowledge.

17
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,760
Before we get into that, I'd like to say welcome

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,959
to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,400
very first time. I'm asking you to please go over

20
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:16,599
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community.

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,200

viewer supported, and also let us know where you are

23

in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. This

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,680
is one of the ways we continue to build faith

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,519
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and we will

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,439
get underway. Father, We thank you for this day and

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,959
for the renewal that comes through Christ. Help us to

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,200
cooperate with you. Please, in Jesus name, I pray Amen

29
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:55,719
and a man again renewed in knowledge. And so I

30
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
just need to really start off with the fact that

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,680
we are not interested and simply enriching our intellect, which

32
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:07,920
is good, but it's not great. It's good, it's good

33
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,120
for information, and maybe on a great day it's good

34
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:16,080
for inspiration. But if we want transformation, the knowledge is

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,240
of Christ. It's the intimate kind of knowledge, like when

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Adam and Eve came together. The Bible says that Adam

37
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,080
he knew his wife Eve, and they bear a son.

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,759
And so when we talk about it, that is what

39
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,800
we're talking about. This is holy knowledge that is fruitful.

40
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,520
It bears fruit unto salvation. And so in the Bible

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Book of Colossians, chapter three, verses six through eleven, we

42
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,840
read for which things sake the wrath of God cometh

43
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,719
on the children of disobedience, So of course we're not

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,000
interested in being children of disobedience. All we're interested in

45
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,919
is accepting the the blessing of relationship with God. And

46
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,639
then this doesn't apply. Can I could? Can I continue

47
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,599
verse seven in the Witch, ye also walked sometime. That's

48
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,840
past tense. Uh huh type of one in the chat.

49
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,800
If you used to walk in disobedience past tense, I

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,680
would be typing one one one one one one one

51
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:24,919
one like I used to be. Unfortunately unsaved. Even though

52
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
I grew up in a pastor's home, well that was

53
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:30,599
a weird situation because it wasn't the kind of home

54
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,080
you would expect. Of course I may have shared with

55
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,879
you before that. My grandfather on my mother's side was

56
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,599
also a pastor. One of my uncles was a pastor

57
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:45,560
who taught a colleague and friend of mine who could

58
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:50,400
be my mother, Like I come from this, except it

59
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:53,840
wasn't unto transformation. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm

60
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,000
just saying the titles did not mean transformation in the

61
00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:01,759
case of my family. And so, uh yeah, I once

62
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,360
in the past was one who walked away from God.

63
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400
I walked on the opposite side of the street as

64
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,960
God when ye lived in them Verse eight. But now

65
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:17,480
I thank God for the now. But now ye also

66
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:25,519
put off these things like what anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,

67
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:29,399
filthy communication out your mouth. Okay, I didn't say like that,

68
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:34,800
but out of your mouth lie not to one another,

69
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,600
seeing that ye have put off the old man with

70
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,160
his deeds. So I want you to get alone with

71
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,480
God and be honest with Him and honest with yourself.

72
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Are you really putting off the old person and the

73
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:52,680
old person's deeds or do you just kind of bathe

74
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,079
it off a little bit once in a while, and

75
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,639
that's between you and God? Like, be honest. Is it

76
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800
that you really are taking off the old man? Are

77
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,160
you really truly covered in the righteousness of Christ? Have

78
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:08,160
you disavowed that time of your life when you were

79
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:11,600
on the other side of the road away from Christ

80
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,920
Verse ten, and have put on the new Man, which

81
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:19,439
is renewed in knowledge. Thank God, after the image of

82
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,720
Him that created him. One of the things I love

83
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:27,879
about Jesus is that he created us, but he also

84
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,560
seeing what went wrong when Adam chose to sin, it

85
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,600
was Adam's fault that we are in this mess. He

86
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,199
also recreated us. He took responsibility. That's one of the

87
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,199
things I teach Josiah about our son. I teach him

88
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,480
to take responsibility, not just to find a way to

89
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,839
wiggle out of like what went wrong, or say just

90
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240
the right thing to make Daddy stop talking to him

91
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360
when God forbid something goes wrong, but to take responsibility,

92
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,879
to take ownership, to say, yes, this is the way

93
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:03,360
that I should have gone, but I didn't, And this

94
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,560
is the way we're going to make the adjustment. You see,

95
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,160
and so and so put on the new Man, which

96
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,319
is renewed to knowledge after the image of Him that

97
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:20,600
created him. Where there is neither Jew nor Greek circumcision,

98
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,879
nor uncircumcision, Barbarian or Scythian bond or free but Christ

99
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,000
is all and in all. Okay. So what God is

100
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,240
saying is that this is a level playing field. Every

101
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,240
single person can make a decision, beginning right now, if

102
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,720
you've not already done so, make a decision almost seven

103
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,240
minutes into our broadcast, to say yes to God. Say

104
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:51,920
yes to God and live not according to the way

105
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,040
you live on the opposite side of the street from God.

106
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,519
But in a right relationship with God, whatever God says

107
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,040
that we will do by his grace, and so lesson

108
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,199
number one is new life requires a clear break with

109
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,120
the old life. That's very clear. A clear break, not

110
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,639
a weaning off of right, not a permissive sort of well,

111
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,720
let me just okay, so once in a while we

112
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:21,680
can do this sin, and God's working with me. So

113
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,720
he knows that, you know, in you know, six weeks time,

114
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,399
or in a year's time, or you know, well, he

115
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,000
knows I don't always do no, no, no clean break, brothers

116
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,519
and sisters. Bible says to put ye on the Lord

117
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,639
Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh to

118
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,240
fulfill the lusts thereof. So if it happens to be

119
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:48,959
that you're you're going to turn away from smoking cigarettes

120
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:52,480
with the right help, you throw away all of your cigarettes,

121
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,079
you don't. You don't keep the pack around and say, well,

122
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,120
instead of smoking six cigarettes today, I'm gonna smoke. That's

123
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,959
not how this thing works Paul's words. But now I

124
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,120
told you I like the contrast signal. A decisive break.

125
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,839
Life in Christ is not a revised version of the

126
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:18,120
old life. So if I was religiously proud, thinking that

127
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:23,000
I am doing something because maybe I perform certain practices,

128
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:25,759
and then God owes me something. Well, it's a clean

129
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:30,160
break from that. Life in Christ is not a revised

130
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:34,519
version of the old life. It is a different life altogether.

131
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:38,960
The quote old man refers to the former identity shaped

132
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,600
by sin and self rule. Renewal begins when the identity

133
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:49,679
is consciously laid aside. I don't want it no more.

134
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,279
I don't want to be about that life anymore. And

135
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,519
so the action step is to identify one habit or

136
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,000
an attitude or a speech pattern that belongs to your

137
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:05,120
our former life, and intentionally put it away today through

138
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:11,399
prayer and accountability. Lesson number two is Renewal happens through truth.

139
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Through truth, not just what we feel about the truth,

140
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,720
what we hope about the truth, but truth in reality.

141
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:23,840
The new life is renewed through knowledge. Growth is not

142
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:29,039
driven by emotional highs, but by the Holy Ghost giving

143
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,320
us understanding of his truth. Renewal is ongoing, It is deliberate.

144
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:40,919
The mind is reshaped as truth replaces deception. I am

145
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,799
so glad that God renews people in the knowledge.

146
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: They are joining us listening. Friends always Remember we cannot

147
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

148
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

149
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
