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
00:00:15,199 --> 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 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,679

Lesson study series uniting Heaven and Earth, christ in Philippians

16
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:00,280
and Colossians, and our caption for today is Reconciled from

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:07,480
Wicked Works. Reconciled from Wicked Works. Before we get into that,

18
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,400

00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,400
in this manner so early in the morning every single day. Father,

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Please make us holy today in Jesus' name, I pray,

31
00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:00,120
Amen and Amen again. By the way, I forgot to

32
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,799
ask you to be like keenly aware of our our

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,960
program at eight am on Sundays. This is for evangelistic purposes.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,039
Please share this with as many people as possible. It

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,520
is called the New Sunday School of Thought. There was

36
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,120
good reason based on the book Evangelism, page two hundred

37
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:25,560
and forty four, So please share that with as many

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,719
people as possible. Now, yesterday I was extremely passionate because

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,039
I remembered the thought that I had after I got baptized, like,

40
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,360
how could Jesus have been so good to us? Like

41
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,280
to become sin? What does that mean? Become sin? So

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,319
we can become holy like Jesus took on everything. And

43
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,479
I'm not going to go into it like I did yesterday,

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,400
I promise, but listen for Him to do all of

45
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:57,120
that for you and for me. Now, let's talk about

46
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:06,199
it tactically. Siled from wicked works, reconciled from wicked works.

47
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,439
Our lesson number one comes in from the Bible Book

48
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,919
of Colossians, chapter one and verse twenty one Colossians one

49
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080
and verse twenty one, and the Bible reads and you

50
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,280
that were sometime alienated. So this is our how we

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,039
were born, by the way, alienated and enemies in your mind,

52
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,319
by wicked works. I know we didn't have wicked thoughts

53
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:33,520
as babies, but I'm saying we were born as as

54
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,319
shapen in sin and iniquity, right, and so when we

55
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,680
got old enough to start making our own decisions, then

56
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:46,680
our decisions often went awry, like we went away from God.

57
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:51,360
We lived according to our human dna, and they were

58
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,919
wicked works. And the Bible continues yet now and so

59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,879
there's a transition point like the moment that you become

60
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,439
one of God's children. Yet now hath he reconciled. Let

61
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,520
me read it again, and you were at one time

62
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:09,719
strangers and enemies in your minds, as expressed through your

63
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,719
evil deeds. And so alienation isn't just a mindset or

64
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,279
a behavioral thing where you do something wrong and then

65
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:20,199
God goes on his list and says, Okay, well, here

66
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,040
are the one hundred and thirty two thousand, six hundred

67
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,439
and ninety four wrong deeds possible. So I'm going to

68
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,319
put that under this wrong deed, and that is what

69
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:37,079
determines alienation. No, the alienation is based on our nature.

70
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:42,639
But we're also talking about our relationship. So the separation

71
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:46,439
between us and God, based on the decisions that we

72
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,800
have made based on our broken and sinful mindsets, is

73
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,480
a relational thing. So sin distorts how humanity either thinks

74
00:04:56,519 --> 00:05:00,439
about God or how we relate to God or both.

75
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:05,240
That's a distortion like that is part of the cause

76
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,160
of our separation, and so the initiative to restore the

77
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,680
relationship does not come from us. Jesus went into the

78
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,120
garden of Eden, and he called out to Adam, saying, Adam,

79
00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:23,680
where are you? Not because he didn't know where Adam was.

80
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,319
He went looking for Adam because Adam was lost, not

81
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,480
because God was lost. But because Adam was lost, and

82
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,199
Adam didn't even know he was lost, the dude was

83
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,160
perfect before he jumped into sin. Eve fell into sin.

84
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,519
She was deceived. Adam jumped into sin. He did it

85
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,040
bulface like it was some iniquity stuff. He knew exactly

86
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,839
what was going on, was not deceived, and he jumped

87
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,120
into sin for his reasons. And now God making the

88
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,800
first step, because if God left it up to us,

89
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
if he left it up to Adam, we would all

90
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,040
be lost. He goes and he calls out to Adam

91
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,720
and says, where are you? So Adam could see what

92
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:06,399
the world is going on? And he says, I'm I'm

93
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:13,959
I'm as naked and ashamed and afraid, so I hid myself.

94
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,399
I'm in the bushes. God who told thee that thou

95
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,439
wast naked? Adam, did you eat from the tree that

96
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,439
I commanded that thou shouldest not eat? And then of

97
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:25,519
course Adam goes down this goofy trail of blaming it

98
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560
on Eve. And then Eve does something goofy and blames

99
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,399
it on the devil. Nobody's taking responsibility except God, and

100
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:37,240
God is taking on the responsibility of finding human beings

101
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:42,639
who are relationally alienated from Him, and so and so

102
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,720
it comes from God. From Eden forward, God has always

103
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,560
been the one who seeks the loss. Jesus came to

104
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,800
seek and to save that which was lost. And so

105
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,399
the action step is to stop framing salvation as your

106
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,000
pursuit of God. I know, like there's a book I

107
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,839
like titled I think it's a oh Man Pursuing God.

108
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,199
But listen, that's not it. Like, stop framing salvation as

109
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,839
your pursuit of God, except that reconciliation became with God

110
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,759
pursuing you less the number two. That's a good one, y'all.

111
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,160
I'm telling you Colossians, Chapter one and verse twenty two.

112
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,839
It's right out of the Bible. The Bible reads, in

113
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,800
the body of his flesh through death to present you holy.

114
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:35,800
So Jesus did something as a human to make us holy.

115
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:39,720
First he became as a human, and also he did

116
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,959
everything he needed while he lived on planet Earth in

117
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,199
order to save us from our sins. So to present

118
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:53,240
you what holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight.

119
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,319
May I say it just a little bit more simply

120
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,720
than this passage, Because even Peter was like lo this dude.

121
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:03,040
Paul taught stuff that was hard to understand. Just look

122
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,160
at the time of Jesus in the Garden of the

123
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,519
in the part of me in the wilderness being tempted

124
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,920
of the devil. So hint, Jesus being buffeted by the

125
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:19,120
devil there and from the point of his birth straight through,

126
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360
and the devil's trying to kill him through the king,

127
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:23,199
and the devil's trying to kill him through people who

128
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,920
said that they were God's people before Jesus could die

129
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240
on the cross to save us from our sins, while

130
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,399
the devil's trying to get him to sell out in

131
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:34,039
the in the wilderness, and some more stuff like, yeah,

132
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,960
all that Jesus went through while these people were beating

133
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,519
him and ripping his beard out and stabbing him in

134
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,639
the side and calling out to him in a disrespectful way.

135
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,919
I don't even like repeating what they said. Yeah, He's

136
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,759
going through all of that so you can be holy,

137
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,000
so that you can be unblameable, you can be unreprovable

138
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,039
in God's sight. And so the word the word I

139
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,759
mean to present means like so he could present you

140
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:07,879
means to place before God in this case as acceptable,

141
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:10,840
so that the one who was born in sin and

142
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,000
shape and iniquity, that's you, that's me, can be presented

143
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,320
or placed before God, our Father as acceptable. We are

144
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,279
accepted in the Beloved. The Bible says that he is

145
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,519
able to keep us from falling and to present us

146
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,919
faultless before the Presence with exceeding joy. And so I'm

147
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:35,399
grateful that the cross changes our standing with God and

148
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,480
of course our eternal outcome. We are now children of

149
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,639
the most High God. If we submit our will peace.

150
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

151
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

152
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

153
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,039
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day.

154
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah,
