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,

to say happy new week to you, and I'm thankful

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,079

00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,000

go over to your daily Portion dot com. Please join

our online community. I want you to pay special attention

to that seven click on the seven, and I just

28
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:41,439
want to say welcome to people who are listening to

29
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,480
us on the radio. There are so many stations around

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,239
the United States of America, so many stations in Australia,

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,840
and I'm scrolling through, scrolling through so many stations in well,

32
00:01:55,879 --> 00:01:59,439
one station in Belize, a couple in the Cayman Islands,

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:06,319
one or two in England, France, Guam, Jamaica, Online, Liberia, Malaysia,

34
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:13,080
New Zealand, and let's see Turks, Grand Turk Island, Uganda,

35
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,639
the United States, Virgin Island, sing Kids. So you are

36
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:19,560
all over the world literally, and that is not to

37
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,159
mention those who are listening online, those who are listening

38
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,199
on shortwave radio, on satellite, on television. You see where

39
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,800
this is going. So I'm asking you to continue to

40
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:34,199
pray and watch and watch and pray as Jesus is

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,919
on his way very soon, and spread the gospel where

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,560
you are spread the gospel. It won't be long. Now,

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,719
let's go ahead and pray and then get under way. Father,

44
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,599
we thank you for this day. Help us to be

45
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,719
receptive to your will, and then do it in Jesus name,

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,080
I pray, Amen and Amen again. So the first question

47
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:58,199
that I need you to consider is are you willing

48
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:02,039
to allow God to transform you? I need to ask

49
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:04,960
and answer the same question for myself. Am I willing

50
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,360
for God to transform me? Okay? And so this comes

51
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,159
from the Bible Book of John, Bible Book of John,

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,159
chapter two and beginning at verse one, and the Bible reads,

53
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,599
now on the third day there was a wedding at

54
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,960
Cana in Galilee. Now on the third day that phrase,

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,560
if I were you, I would look that up. What

56
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,879
was whatever happens in the Bible on the third day.

57
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,159
I want you to research and see how many times

58
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,039
the third day is referenced, and see what kinds of

59
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,960
things happened on the third day in scripture. It will

60
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,719
be a fascinating study. So on the third day there

61
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,080
was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus, Jesus's mother

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,120
was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited

63
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:59,039
to the wedding. When the wine ran out, Jesus's mother

64
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:03,319
said to him, they have no wine left, so she's

65
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,240
making a statement. Okay, they have no wine left. Jesus

66
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,479
replied in a way that I would have likely replied, woman,

67
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,400
why are you saying this to me? My time is

68
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,360
not yet come. His mother told the servants. It's almost

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,120
like she ignored him. It feels like she ignored him.

70
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,720
And I don't mean ignored in a negative way. She

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,480
was just like, m hmm, all right. So whatever Jesus

72
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,360
tells you to do, this is what she's saying to

73
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,040
the servants. Whatever he tells you to do, do it.

74
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,759
Verse six. Now there were six stone water jars. Why six?

75
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,160
Therefore Jewish ceremonial washing, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

76
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,839
Jesus told the servants. You see, he said, why are

77
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,560
you telling me this? My time is not yet come.

78
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,920
She says, do whatever he says, and then he starts

79
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,079
to tell the servants something to do. It's interesting watching

80
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,000
Jesus in his powers as the Son of God or

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,399
God the son part of me, and to see him

82
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,120
functioning in the human element as well. It's very interesting

83
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,240
to me. So fill the water jars. So they filled

84
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,040
them up to the brim, and he told them, now

85
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,120
draw some out and take it to the master of

86
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:22,160
the banquet. Some what Jesus, Draw some out and then

87
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,920
take it to the master of the banquet. What Jesus,

88
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,120
What did they put into the jar? The jars, the

89
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,959
water jars. They put in water, twenty or thirty gallons

90
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,519
of water in six water jars. Jesus says, draw some

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,759
out and then give it to the master of the banquet.

92
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:42,120
What is he going to draw? What are they going

93
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,920
to draw out and give to the master? Well they

94
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,920
did it and verse nine. So when the master of

95
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:52,720
the banquet tasted the water, wait a minute, that had

96
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:58,079
been what transformed. The Bible says that the water had

97
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,839
been turned into way and did not know where it

98
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:04,040
came from, because he didn't buy it. He didn't bring

99
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:07,399
it there. He knew that that I mean, he didn't

100
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,800
what though the servants who had drawn the water new

101
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:15,319
The master of the banquet called the bridegroom and said

102
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,759
to him, everyone serves the good wine first, then the

103
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,439
cheaper wine after the guests are drunk. So neither the

104
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,199
master knows where it's coming from neither the bridegroom knows

105
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:32,040
where it's coming from. The servants did why because they

106
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:35,240
know who Jesus is. You have kept the good wine

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800
until now. Of course, this wine is not fermented. It's

108
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,439
not to get nobody drunk. I wish I had the

109
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,480
time to deal with that in detail. But I just

110
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,800
need to be clear that Jesus is not creating wine

111
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,759
that even has the possibility of getting anybody inebriated. I

112
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,839
wish I had the time. Verse eleven. Jesus did this

113
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,879
as the first of his signs in Cana of Galilee.

114
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,360
He revealed his glory and his disciples believed in him.

115
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,680
What do you mean by he revealed his glory? John Well,

116
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:18,279
the miracle revealed the glory. Can I say that one

117
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,399
more time? The miracle revealed the glory. So Jesus transformed

118
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,839
the good. And here in Jamaica, land we love. We

119
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,439
say that water is life. I am obsessed by pottable

120
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,279
drinking water, and I love to see bodies of water

121
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,000
that are beautiful and somewhere you can maybe swim or

122
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,360
take a dip or bathe even right, And so Jesus

123
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:46,639
takes the ordinary, He transforms the good or the ordinary

124
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,839
into the great or extraordinary. You see, the people could

125
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:56,120
have been sustained by water. Jesus is the water of life, right,

126
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,439
he is the actual water of life. But the Bible

127
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,120
says that when Jesus was was stabbed in his side,

128
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,759
as he was about to give his life for us,

129
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,199
water and blood flowed freely from him. I heard there

130
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,680
is a song that says there is a fountain filled

131
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:16,759
with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath

132
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:21,000
that flood lose all their guilty stains. And so now

133
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,160
we see where God is transforming the water into the

134
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:29,519
symbol of his blood, so that the people who are

135
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,240
experiencing him miraculously can be transformed. The Bible says that

136
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:42,440
Jesus revealed his glory to his disciples and they believed him. So,

137
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,399
so why did he do this miracle so that people

138
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:49,879
would believe? Are you willing to do whatever God tells

139
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,240
you to do so that you can be transformed from

140
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:57,840
good to great? And then that people may believe in him.

141
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,440
Not believe in me because I have a large social

142
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,440
media or YouTube following. Not believe in me because I

143
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,399
put some filter over my face. In TikTok or some

144
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:12,120
other platform, so people will get the wrong impression of

145
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:14,519
who I actually am. So I can I don't know,

146
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,799
generate billions and millions of dollars in income so that

147
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:20,440
I can continue to be like a quote influencer or

148
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,639
content creator. No disrespect to people who do that, but

149
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:28,080
the point is that sometimes human beings are satisfied with

150
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:32,639
good and they draw people to themselves for good. What

151
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:36,919
Jesus did in this moment was to transform good to

152
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,559
great so that people can believe. Allow Jesus to transform you,

153
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,799
and then people will believe in him. Peace.

154
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
