1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,320
and receive the power we need to live healthy.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,399
Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

16
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:53,399
lesson study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our

17
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,479
caption for today is my phone just lit up part

18
00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:00,920
of me. Our caption for today is when God for

19
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,760
bearns ends, when God's for barns or his patience ends.

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,599
Before we get into that, i'd like to say welcome

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,439

and learning the lesson through music. This is a unique feature.

27
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,680
I've been thinking about this for years and years and years,

28
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,840
and thankfully right now God has given me the facility

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,439
for this. And yeah, go ahead and type of one

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,159
in the chat if you are coming this evening at

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,239
seven pm Jamaica time. Thankfully we are on the same

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,239
time as most of the United States of America now

33
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:58,680
at least. But if you're coming tonight, go ahead and

34
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,040
type of one in the chat or I'm coming, I'm coming.

35
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,040
If the Lord spaar's life, I'll be here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,560
that's encouraging. Let's go ahead and pray and get underway. Father,

37
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:12,479
We thank you, Please help us to accept your patience,

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,280
but don't wear you out. In Jesus' name, I pray,

39
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:21,439
Amen and Amen again, and you're like, oh my wear

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,159
out God. Yeah, well we can. We can actually quench

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,800
the spirit, like we can really weary the Holy Ghost

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,439
in the sense of turning away his entreaties for us

43
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,199
to serve God in his patience. Let me just begin.

44
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:42,759
Let me just begin with a quote today from from

45
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,719
the Bible Commentary, the SDA Bible Commentary, Volume two, page

46
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:51,680
one thousand and five, and it reads God is slow

47
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,919
to anger. I think we can just end right here.

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520
God is slow to anger. This is one of the

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,599
things that he said to Moses when he he had

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,319
welcomed him into an experience in the mount when Moses said,

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,680
if if we have found favor with you, please show

52
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,759
me your glory. And God revealed in aspect of his

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280
character to show that he is slow to anger. But

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,240
guess what he also said, he will and know wise

55
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:24,639
clear the guilty. So don't take his slow to anger ness.

56
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,039
I just made that way of saying it up as

57
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:30,199
a way to be disrespectful to God. Don't wear out

58
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:33,520
the Holy Ghost, don't don't quench the spirit of God.

59
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:39,919
Let's not push God away because he's he's slow to anger.

60
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,240
Please let me continue the quote. He gave the wicked

61
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:47,680
nations a time of probation that they might become acquainted

62
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,080
with him and his character. Do you realize that God

63
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,520
is doing the same today as we are traversing the

64
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,680
path toward a final experience with God. In eternity, living

65
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:03,159
in heath for a thousand years, and then inheriting the

66
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:06,680
earth Ah forever and ever, like he promised in Matthew five.

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,439
He's still giving nations. He's giving nations time of probation.

68
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:16,240
Do you realize to whom much is given, much is

69
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,759
to be required? If you are living in a nation

70
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,279
where democracy is the way that government is set of

71
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:27,160
the people, for the people, by the people, even if

72
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,680
you don't use those words anywhere in the world, realize

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,439
that we are all on those during that time of

74
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,800
probation because God expects these to be a bastion of hope,

75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,959
a bastion of justice, a bastion of religious liberty. We

76
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,000
are expecting that nations that are governed in this way

77
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:53,319
should use the blessing of God's mercy as an opportunity

78
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,519
to give people the freedom that we need in order

79
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,199
to serve God. According to our conscience, was that was

80
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,959
that was not planned? That was free? That was free.

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,759
Let me continue the quote, according to the light given, What,

82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,040
according to the light given was their condemnation for refusing

83
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160
uh oh, to receive the light uh oh and choosing

84
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:20,560
their own ways rather than God's ways. God gave the

85
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,199
reason why he did not at once dispossess the Canaanites.

86
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Of course, we're going back there. The iniquity of the

87
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:34,240
Amorites was not full. Through their iniquity, they were gradually

88
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,560
bringing themselves to the point where God's forbearents could no

89
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:44,000
longer be exercised and they would be exterminated. I don't

90
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,319
like that word, but I find myself in opposition to

91
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,360
God when he is at the point when when he

92
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,000
has to do it. If I am am am and

93
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,759
having a problem with it, Yes, Moses showed us what

94
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,360
it looks like to entreat God and beg him not

95
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:07,360
to do this. But at some point, if love is

96
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:11,360
going to be that final pulse throughout the universe, if

97
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,120
God's character will be finally the standard for all humans

98
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:20,399
and we will all or all created beings, as the

99
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,279
case may be, even the heavenly agencies, then that means

100
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,600
that there's a time when sin has to be exterminated

101
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,000
full stop. I don't even know another way to say it.

102
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Until the point was reached and their iniquity was full,

103
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,279
the vengeance of God would be delayed. All nations had

104
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,040
a period of probation. Can I just say in twenty

105
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:47,199
twenty five, that's still the reality. I'm repeating myself. Those

106
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,720
who made void God's law, now we know what the

107
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:54,480
standard is, his law, his Ten Commandments law. And yes

108
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,879
they are still binding upon people, including especially people who

109
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:02,920
are living under what we call the New Covenant. Because

110
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,879
God has written his laws in our hearts. He has

111
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,800
written his laws on our minds, and He has given

112
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,920
us the privilege of actually being able to do His

113
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,560
will because of the Holy ghosts working through us the

114
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,839
will and to do of God's good pleasure. Mm hmm.

115
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:24,839
Children would inherit the rebellious spirit of their parents. Oh, God,

116
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,480
help Simone and I to teach Josiah your ways and

117
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,759
to do worse than their fathers before them, until God's

118
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:38,920
wrath would fall upon them. The punishment was not less

119
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:45,720
because it was deferred. Lord, help us not to take

120
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:50,040
your mercy, please, for granted, God has given us a

121
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,600
way out. We do not have to go down the

122
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:56,839
path of our four parents, our forebearers, who some of

123
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:00,680
them despise the mercy of God. Romans chapter two and

124
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,279
verse four talks about that. And so this is a

125
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160
question for you, it's a question for me as well,

126
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,360
how does divine patience reveal both God's mercy and his justice?

127
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Do you realize that the same one we know as

128
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,879
the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, the Anointed, the anointed

129
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,519
one who is as God our father, is that Jesus,

130
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,839
who gave his life for us, is a manifestation of

131
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,839
God being able to be just and the justifier of

132
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,480
those who are called by God. Meaning God can see

133
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,200
us just as if we had never sinned. He can

134
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:41,600
forgive us and cleanse us from all of our unrighteousness

135
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,440
if we surrender our will to him, because Jesus paid

136
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,559
the debt that is required of every soul that sins.

137
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:56,039
Because the Bible says every soul that sins must die,

138
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,559
that means all of us, every human who's ever lived

139
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,360
on plant earth, with the exception of Jesus Christ, was

140
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,759
really supposed to die. Anyone born of a woman should

141
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,200
die because we have all sinned and come short of

142
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,480
the glory of God. But I'm glad that the text

143
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,919
doesn't stop there. It says that he can be just,

144
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,279
meaning meet the judgment against sin, but he also can

145
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120
justify us. That means he can make it as if

146
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:26,960
we had never sinned when we simply surrender our will

147
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,240
to God. When we yield our will to God and

148
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,679
we accept God's mercy, we can have eternal life. We

149
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:40,360
can have eternal life, so when God's forbearance ends, we

150
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,200
have no need to be on the end of that

151
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,080
we can have his mercy. Peace.

152
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

153
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

154
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

155
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

156
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make

157
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
