Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, good morning. It is Monday, December nine,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you Gun's word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
study series with Lesson number eleven under the themes of
the Gospel of John and our caption for today is
Jesus and the Father. Jesus and the Father. We'll get
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
to say welcome to you and ask you to please
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join
our online community. I need you to click that number
seven and subscribe there. I need one thousand people to
subscribe there to further your spiritual development and also let
us know where you are in the world at your
daily portion dot com. Please go ahead and help us
to build faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father, we thank
you for this day and for the opportunity to see
how you and Jesus are unified. I pray God that
we will be submissive in our mindset to you and
not make up stuff as we go along, but to
listen to You and to treat this subject as holy
and to be holy in Jesus name. I pray Amen
and Amen again Jesus and the Father. There, Jesus and
the Father. My mind went as I was preparing today
for this two Revelation chapters four and five. I wish
I really had the time to drill this. But what
I get from Revelation chapters four and five in this
context is that there's no competition in heaven anymore. I said,
there's no competition in heaven anymore. You see, after Lucifer,
who became Satan, the accuser, now the accuser of the brethren,
the enemy of God and everything that is godly in
the universe, the arch enemy number one, Public enemy number one. Yeah,
once he was kicked out of heaven when he made
war in heaven and mi kl meaning Jesus Christ and
his angels got rid of the devil and his angels.
And now the devil's down here. The devil's down here
tempting humans. But when that happened, that ended all competition
in heaven. He was the one that was in the way.
And when you read in Roman Revelation chapters four and five,
you see cry like a hue and cry in the universe.
And the discussion is set in heaven where there are
different beings and the angels and the Son of God,
God the Son is there, and God our Father is there.
And this cry goes out because because no one is
able to look into the book or unseal the seven Seals.
And then the Bible teaches us that while the beings
in heaven are worshiping God our Father, there comes a
point when there is one who comes from the midst
of the throne and he is able to look on,
look in lay hold upon open the seven seals, and
it is Jesus Christ. He's worthy, worthy, is the lamb
that was slain. He's worthy to open the books, lay
his hands on the book, look on, look in, unseal
the books. And then all out worship breaks out of
Jesus Christ, who comes from the midst of the throne
of God, our Father. And so in Revelation chapter four,
the Father is worshiped and he's given all the glory.
And then in Revelation chapter five, the one who comes
from the midst of the throne, Jesus Christ, the mighty
lion of the tribe of Judah. He comes from the
midst of the throne, and all worship breaks out, and
those beings worship Jesus, and there's no competition. You see,
we can learn from their relationship because they are unified
to the degree that they are never competing with one another.
They are always on the same page, and in our context,
on the same page to save us. In fact, the
Bible teaches us in Genesis chapter one, verses twenty six
and twenty seven, let us make humanity, let us make
man in our image and our likeness. And then of
course God actually creates but together Ah, Jesus is our creator.
But guess what, the Father, The Father is our creator
to the Holy Ghost was present during creation as well,
and so we see that when they say, let us
make humanity in our own image and in our likeness,
we were to learn a lesson about unity, a lesson
about being one with God, our Father, a lesson about
taking our orders from the Father's son and holy ghosts,
so that we can, of course have right relationship with him,
no competition, no competition. And in Genesis chapter three, beginning
at verse seven, the Bible reads, the eyes of both
of them were open, meaning Adam and Eve, and they
knew that they were naked, and they sold fig leaves
together and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice
of the Lord God walking in the garden in the
cool of the day. And Adam and his wife they
did something really weird for beings that were supposed to
be perfect, the ones who were created right out of
the hand of God, and he breathed into their nostrils
the breath of life, and they became a living soul.
These first humans who were completely perfect, with no genetic flaws,
with no grandfather who smoked or drank like, with no
grandmother who lied or cheated or stole. They were perfect
from the hands of God. But now they're hiding in
the bushes, trying to cover their sins with fig leaf aprons.
Come on, That is what people do when we break
our unity with God. Do you see where we're going
with this? Got our Father, God the Son is They're
unified in all ways, The Holy Ghost unified. We'll talk
about him in another day. But the children of God
are now disunified, ununified. They are hiding because they are
a shamed. The Bible says, and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst
the trees in the garden, and the Lord God called
to Adam and said, unto him, where art thou? The
question that I have for all of us is where
are we? Where are we? When God, our Father is
unified with God the Son, there is no competition with them.
And the Holy Ghost is bringing all truth to our
understanding and awareness, and empowering us to live according to
the words that he is bringing to our minds. Whatsoever,
Jesus Christ commanded us, and he is Jesus is lo
he low, he said, he is with us alway, even
to the end of the world. Are we hiding in
the bushes because we're ashamed and naked? Are we hiding
in the bushes? Why because we have doubts about God,
doubt about our relationship. Have we separated ourselves from God
and then chosen to further separate ours by hiding our
sins rather than allowing God to reveal them so we
can be delivered from them. Well, God has given us
so many hopeful truths in the scripture to get us
out of the bushes, to become unified with Him. And
so really, I would love to read all of these
passages from the middle of the lesson, but I want
you to read them in your spare time and then
come into the community, your Daily Portion dot Com, join
that online community, and share with me what you have found.
I will read a couple of these passages, and then
I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to share
in the community. Okay, And so let's read. I will
read John chapter six and verse sixty nine. The Bible reads,
and we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ,
the son of the Living God. And so when the
individuals who had heard Jesus say that we should eat
of his flesh and drink of his blood, we should
have all of who God is in our lives through Christ.
There were people who left Jesus. They couldn't handle the truth.
They couldn't handle the truth, so they walked away. And
Jesus said to his disciples, are you going to leave too? Now?
Are you going to leave? Two? And among other things,
we see that there is a declaration for from Peter
that says, but we believe and are sure that thou
warn't the Christ, the son of the Living God. Where
else would we go? We want to have unity with you, Jesus.
Your power is unborrowed underrived. You are holy. Blessed be
your name. We're not going anywhere. Please teach us God
to be so unified with you that we will never
leave here.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening to friends. Always remember we
