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

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Friday. It's

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,560
August one, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,280
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,679
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single

14
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:50,039
day and today is no exception. We are continuing in

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000
our Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and

16
00:00:53,039 --> 00:01:00,520
our caption for today is when faith falters, when faith falls.

17
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:03,079
Before we get into that, I'd like to say welcome

18
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:05,120
to you and ask you to go over to your

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,040
Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community, pick

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,280
up the Your Daily Portion Life application guide, and let

21
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:14,959
us know where you are in the world at your

22
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,959
Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of the ways

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,599
that we continue to build faith and fellowship. I'm not

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,840
going to pray yet. I just need to say one thing.

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,280
There are a few of you, which I understand why

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,200
you're requesting. You're wanting the Friday time that we have

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,200
together to be a recap of the days from before.

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,280
But the way that I have seen this lesson for

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,719
years I'm talking about a couple decades now, is that

30
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,359
a lot of times people just kind of blow by Friday. Well,

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Friday has its own lessons, Friday has its own blessings

32
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,239
for us, and people just kind of run by it.

33
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,599
So I am deliberate by not just making it a

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,319
quick review of what we have already done. We can

35
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,159
go back and listen to those or watch those, right,

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,719
but we need to really milk the lesson from Friday

37
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:11,039
as its own teaching, which is why I also give it.

38
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,000
I give it a title. Okay, And so that's the rationale.

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,599
Let's go ahead and pray and then we'll get underway. Father,

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,840
We thank you for Fridays, thank you for this time

41
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:25,120
of preparation. Please help us to serve you with everything

42
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:31,039
we are. In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Yeah,

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,520
when faith falters? What do you do if your faith

44
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,120
is tested? Now, I'm not going to say that your

45
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:41,360
faith falters. I don't know you like that, And I'm

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,319
not going to say that everybody's faith falters. I don't

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
know you like that. What I am going to say

48
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:51,879
is that when faith falters in your case, what do

49
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,319
you do about it? That's a real live question, what

50
00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:58,280
do you do about it? And so what we're going

51
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:03,080
to do is is read some of the quell. We'll

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,319
read from Friday's Lesson from Patriarchs and Prophet's page two

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,960
hundred and seventy seven, and it reads, the Passover was

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:16,879
to be both commemorative and typical, meaning that we look

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,919
back and see what God did for his people during

56
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,439
what we would now call the First Passover. But we

57
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,719
also say, oh, wait a minute, we have to look forward.

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,360
We have to look forward and see, well, what was

59
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:34,039
God doing there in preparation for something in the future.

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,639
Let me continue the quote, not pointing only back to

61
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,400
the deliverance of Egypt from Egypt, but forward to the

62
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:48,120
greater deliverance which Christ was to accomplish in freeing his

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,479
people from the bondage of sin. The sacrificial lamb represents

64
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,039
the lamb of God, in whom is our only hope

65
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680
of salvation. So when your faith, if God forbid, your

66
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,800
faith is faltering, if God forbid, you find yourself diverting

67
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,800
or diverging from the path that God has marked out

68
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,439
for you, I want you to remember that God delivered

69
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:18,800
his people back in the time that they were being

70
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,360
oppressed by the Egyptians, and He has made provision for

71
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,199
your salvation, not only to be delivered from your earthly woes,

72
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,319
not only to be delivered from depression, which we need,

73
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,560
not only to be delivered from your financial woes where

74
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,639
your month is longer than your money, not only to

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,639
be delivering us from those bad relationships that we probably

76
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,040
shouldn't have gotten into anyway, not only that, but also

77
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,600
also delivering us from sin full stop. Like there are

78
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:53,160
things that we have done in our lives or we

79
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,079
have neglected to do, where we should have surrendered our

80
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,759
will to God, and we said no to God. Yes,

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,639
So when our faith falters, God forbid. In that way,

82
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:07,680
we can go to first John chapter two, verses one

83
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,439
and two, that says, my little children, these things rite

84
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,959
eye unto you, that ye sin not. And if any

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,759
person sins. We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ,

86
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,879
the righteous one who has become the propitiation, the mercy see,

87
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,079
the one who takes our place, the one who says,

88
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Justice demands your eternal death. Justice demands that because you've sinned,

89
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,319
all who sin and comes short of the glory of

90
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,079
God must die. The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

91
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:43,560
And we're talking about the second death. However, Jesus being

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,079
the mercy see, Jesus, being the one who stood in

93
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,360
for us, stepped in and took our place. He took

94
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,199
the death that we deserve, so we can have the

95
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:55,680
life that he deserves. Since that is the case, we

96
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,439
have a reason if our faith falters, to look back

97
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:00,759
and say, God, we see what you've do in the past,

98
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,680
and then say God, thank you, thank you. Through Christ,

99
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,199
now I have the power to be victorious over every

100
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,680
single besetting sin. Let me continue the quote. The sacrificial

101
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,279
lamb represents the lamb of God, in whom is our

102
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,720
only hope of salvation, says the apostle Christ. Our passover

103
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,319
is sacrificed for us. Thank God, thank God, thank God.

104
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:33,600
It was not enough that the Pascal lamb be slain.

105
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,160
Its blood must be sprinkled upon the door posts, so

106
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,519
that the merits of Christ's blood must be applied to

107
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:46,360
the soul. So it's not enough for me to shout

108
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,399
into this microphone and tell you all of the right

109
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,120
answers from the Bible, as if it's a quiz or

110
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,079
a test or an examination of some point of some sort,

111
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:58,759
where everybody says, yep, that's the right answer. Move on

112
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,560
to the next lesson, Elder. No, no, no, no. This is

113
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,879
about God putting this so deep into our soul that

114
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,439
it shows in our relationships, how we treat people, It

115
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,920
shows in our bank registers, how we use and steward

116
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:15,360
the money that God has entrusted to us. It doesn't

117
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,079
matter the amount it shows in every single facet of

118
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:24,279
our lives. Yes, we must believe, not only that He

119
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000
died for the whole world. I used to talk to

120
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,199
my mom about this. She struggled, Lord bless her. She struggled.

121
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,399
She didn't know how to apply his love for her

122
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:39,079
because she did not receive the love when she was

123
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,439
young that she deserved being a woman born into this world.

124
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Everybody born into this world should experience love, But sometimes

125
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,399
it doesn't come. But we taught her over time to

126
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,680
start to believe that God loved her as an individual.

127
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,560
And there's some people out there just like her. You

128
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,319
may be one of those people. Can easily apply the

129
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,439
love of God, the mercy of God to other people,

130
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,040
but when it comes to you, it starts to you

131
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,199
start to hitch a little bit. Well, this is for you.

132
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,720
We must believe not only that he died for the world,

133
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:17,680
but that he died for us individually. We must appropriate

134
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,199
to ourselves the virtue of the atoning sacrifice. I thank

135
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,839
God for the virtue I think Jesus said when the

136
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:33,679
woman who was hemorrhaging from her lady parts for twelve long, excruciating, embarrassing,

137
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:39,000
overwhelming years, when he experienced the touch from her, I

138
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,840
know what I just said. He experienced the touch from her,

139
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:48,000
He said, virtue has left me who touched me, And

140
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:54,399
of course shivering and grateful and amaze the woman and thankful.

141
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,240
The woman is the one there who called upon the

142
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,480
power of God by faith, and she was healed of

143
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:06,080
her disease. And so three quick lessons. Three quick lessons

144
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,440
pass over as both historic and prophetic. We've already said

145
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:13,600
that so as you reflect on the past deliverance of

146
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,960
God in your life, also ask him to reveal what

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,480
he wants to deliver you from today. And then number two,

148
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,159
the action is do not just acknowledge Jesus as savior,

149
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:29,159
accept his sacrifice as your own. Say it aloud today,

150
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:33,480
say it proud today, Jesus, I receive your blood over

151
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:39,080
my life. And then finally, worship and remembrance are ongoing

152
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,480
acts of identity. Act like you're connected to God, if

153
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,120
in fact you are. Make it a great day.

154
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

155
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

156
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

157
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
