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

our lesson study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,439
our caption for today, I have to say it slowly

17
00:00:55,759 --> 00:01:04,640
is dispossession or annihilation? Dispossession or annihilation. Before we get

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,400

Application Guide and the Lord Spaar's Life. We'll see you

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,439
this evening for our evening meditations through the Word, where

32
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
we go through what we're doing in the morning, but

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,840
in more of a devotional reflective sense, right before it's

34
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:01,640
time to go to sleep at your Daily Portion dot com.

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,159
This is one of the ways that we continue to

36
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:07,239
build faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father, thank you for

37
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:12,120
this day. Please take complete control of our lives in

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,479
Jesus' name. I pray Amen and Amen again. So the

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,159
lesson writer said on today's subject that God's original purpose

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:30,120
for the Canaanites was not annihilation, but instead dispossession and

41
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,039
examination of the passages that describe the way that God's

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,039
people had been involved in the battles of conquest used

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,719
terms that speak about dispossession, ejection, and dissipation carried out

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,159
against the inhabitants of the promised land. Let me just

45
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:50,400
say this simply. Those are a lot of big words,

46
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,759
just to simply say. God was saying that the people

47
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,919
who were no were who were not his people who

48
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,439
resisted him really should have has been moved out of

49
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:04,199
the land like they should be. They should move somewhere

50
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,520
else because God gave the promise that his people would

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,639
inhabit that place. But instead they chose to war against God,

52
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,280
and therefore they were annihilated. So get out the way,

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,639
like that's all God wanted. He wanted them really to

54
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,080
repent and then and then of course make way for

55
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:25,879
the for the people of God to receive the promise.

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,199
But they chose, they chose the hard route. The Bible

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
does say that the way of the wicked is hard,

58
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,159
is hard unnecessarily. So may I just say that I've

59
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:41,759
gone through some things unnecessarily more difficult than they should

60
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,840
have been, even living on planet Earth, because of the

61
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,560
times that I did not choose to go God's route. Okay,

62
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:51,400
and so our first lesson for today officially is God's

63
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:55,800
goal was cleansing. That was his goal. That was his goal,

64
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,280
and the Bible says here in Deuteronomy, chapter seven and

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,599
verse twenty. Moreover, the Lord thy God will send the

66
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,400
hornet among them until they that are left, until they

67
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:14,560
that are left and hide themselves from thee be destroyed,

68
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,040
my God. So his purpose in this whole Canaanite situation

69
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,519
was about purification. Really, his command was to move the

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,160
people out. It wasn't for them to be destroyed. That

71
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,480
wasn't the goal. The goal was to remove the corruption,

72
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,600
but not to destroy the creation. That's the reality for

73
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,040
all of us. Like there is some corruption in the

74
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,240
lives of people who continue to sin, and God is saying,

75
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,079
I want to destroy that, not the person. I have

76
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,240
no intention, well, have no desire to destroy the human.

77
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,680
But if you have some things that you're holding on

78
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,279
to that separates you from God, God forbid that. He

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,439
wants to burn that up, not the human. Like hell

80
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,879
fire was prepared for the devil and his evil angels,

81
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:07,879
not for human beings. It was never intended for us

82
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,360
to be separated from God. That's the reality. And the

83
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:19,160
Canaanites' destruction came only after centuries of them hardening their hearts,

84
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:24,360
making them inseparable from their idolatry. So the thing in

85
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,920
their character that God wanted to destroy was so much

86
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,480
interwoven in their actual the fiber of their mindset, the

87
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,839
fiber of their activity, the fiber of their being. Since

88
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:45,279
that was inseparable, than when the condemnation came, it became

89
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,720
that it was against the human now because the human

90
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,279
held on to the sin. God wanted to get rid

91
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:53,839
of the sin, but the human wanted the sin. So

92
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,680
both have to go. I don't know how else to say.

93
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,920
That helped me, Holy Ghost, And so our actions still

94
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,920
really is before our thinking or thought processes, before judging

95
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,160
God's justice. I know what I just said, Remember his patience.

96
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,920
He always gives space for repentance before he brings correction.

97
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:23,720
So God is saying, take the step of examining yourself, Dave,

98
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,079
examining yourself, all the people who are listening, all of

99
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,279
you right now, and saying, okay, God is just and

100
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:37,639
every human is a liar. Our second lesson, our second

101
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,759
lesson comes in from Deuteronomy, chapter twelve and verse three,

102
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,839
and ye shall overthrow their altars and break their pillars,

103
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,399
and burn their groves with fire. So God commanded his

104
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,800
people to destroy the altars, the idols, the shrines. It

105
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:57,879
had nothing to do with the culture. Can I just

106
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240
say that has nothing to do with the culture. It

107
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,800
was because these symbolized rebellion. This's the same thing that

108
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,720
the devil had in heaven, like he really erected a

109
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:11,399
shrine to himself. We see Nepkadnezzar erecting in Daniel chapter two.

110
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,839
It's recorded a shrine unto himself that had to be destroyed.

111
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,319
All of the human systems that are not really connected

112
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
to God have to come down. It's better if we

113
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:26,120
just relinquish them. But if we don't, in order for

114
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,519
God to establish order throughout the universe, then we know

115
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,800
that these things will be destroyed and so and so

116
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,120
idolatry must be completely removed. Ask the Holy Ghost today,

117
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,680
Ask God, please, through the Holy Ghost, to reveal what

118
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:50,040
alters there are in your life? Are they habits? Are

119
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:54,879
they desires? Are they influences? Like I just said yesterday,

120
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,439
this is not one of those jump up and shout situations.

121
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,519
This is reflective time. This is for us to be

122
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,199
honest with God. In fact, let's act like it really is,

123
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,879
Like This is a moment. This is not a program.

124
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,160
This is a moment where we have to say, God,

125
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,879
what is it inside of me? Like King David when

126
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:17,120
he was confronted with his own sin by the prophet

127
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,839
Nathan under the Holy Ghost, and he said, God, please

128
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,319
don't let your Holy spirit come move from me. Please

129
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,439
search me, wash me, make me clean? Will you please?

130
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,319
Will you please? And if you do, I will teach

131
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,120
transgressors your way. So let this moment be one of

132
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,519
those moments as he reveals what it is. It's a

133
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,000
habit is a desire? Is it an influence? Those have

134
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,879
to be destroyed. So God alone reigns in your heart.

135
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,279
My heart, I'm with you. I'm reflecting while i'm speaking,

136
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,159
which is why I'm abandoning whatever else I have to say,

137
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,799
just to capture this moment where we go to God,

138
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,840
just us and God, with nobody watching, no lights, no camera,

139
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,440
no action. This has become an altar call, even to me.

140
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,759
If there's any wicked way within my own heart, God,

141
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,159
please remove it, because you have done so much so

142
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,799
that I can live with you eternally. I want you

143
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,519
to write it down somewhere secret. It's not anybody else's

144
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,360
business and say God, I surrender these things, these habits,

145
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,279
these desires, these influences, so I can one day live

146
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,799
begin living with you forever. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

147
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,799
If the Lord spars life, we will see you this evening.

148
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we

149
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

150
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

151
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
