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
00:00:15,240 --> 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 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, November

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,840
twenty four, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,359
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,759
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,320
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,000
lessons study series themes in the Gospel of John and

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,640
our caption for today is in Him Was Life? In Him?

17
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,520
Was Life? I'm thankful. I'm thankful, I'm thankful. Before we

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,799
get into this truth today, I am going to say

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,319
welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for

20
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:11,640
the very first time. I'm asking you to please go

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,959
over to your Daily Portion dot com. It'll be right

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
about there for the remainder of our program, Your Daily

23
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,000
Portion dot com. This is where I'm asking you to

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,480
join our online community. We are over one thousand strong

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,719
in that community. We had to rebuild it from the

26
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,400
ground up because the platform we were on is no

27
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:35,959
longer there. So I'm grateful that you are filling up

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,079
that community. We need hundreds of thousands of people to

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,079
come into that free community because that is one of

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280
the places where we have our discussion concerning the lesson.

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
I'm asking you also to click that number seven. That

32
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,640
one is critical. It's a way to grow in your

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,560
spiritual development, to experience the metamorphosis that God has for

34
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,879
you beyond even what we do here for the ten minutes.

35
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:03,879
I'm asking you to go there as well, and also

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,560
let us know where you are in the world at

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,199
your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,080
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,840
go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,800
Father in Heaven, thank you for all of these people

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,400
who are here to receive your word and to give

42
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,120
it to others. Thank You for the people all over

43
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,000
the world on two hundred plus radio stations. All of

44
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:32,680
these devices, on the Internet, on podcasting aggregator sites, and

45
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,159
on television. I'm asking you, now, Lord, to please please

46
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:40,159
draw us into your presence and help us to live

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,879
life with you. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,199
Amen again. Live life with God. That's my word for today.

49
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,840
Live life with God, Live life for God. Isn't it

50
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,719
a privilege to know where our life comes from?

51
00:02:57,039 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: You?

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: See, when I was in university in Communication one O

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,599
five Communication one O five Introduction to Oral Communication with

54
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:12,360
doctor Joe Spicer, the late doctor Joe Spicer, he asked

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,080
us some questions those years ago. One of them is

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,400
a why are you here? Who are you? And why

57
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,439
are you here? And see, back then, I was not

58
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:26,159
connected to God, even though I was in a Christian

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,639
university and I had been around Christian people my entire life.

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,919
I went to churches for much of my life up

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
until then. I wasn't going to church at that time

62
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
at all. But even though I was around that, I

63
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,400
was in the atmosphere. I really didn't know how to

64
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:46,960
answer that question. But now that I'm a believer, I

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,560
am very clear who I am. I am very clear

66
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:55,039
about why I am here, and that reason is because

67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,840
God said that I would be here. He declares this,

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,479
and that means that when his word is spoken, then

69
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:07,240
creation happens. You see, when he said let there be light,

70
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,479
there was light. And so when he says David Harris, el,

71
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:14,400
David Harris is here, l d he is here, that

72
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:17,439
means that there is a reason for this. What is

73
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:20,800
the reason for whatever? God says the people that he

74
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:23,759
wants me to reach some of you are them? Right?

75
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,000
You're the people? And then why are you here? Because

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,079
there are people that you need to reach for God,

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,639
there are people that need life, and you are the

78
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,399
one that's going to guide them to the one who

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,560
is life. You see where this is going. So I'm

80
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,000
clear now that in Him is life and there is

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000
a purpose for me on planet Earth. Of course I

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360
could go into the specifics, but this is not the

83
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,680
place for it. And God wants to teach us the

84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,639
impact of this, but let's walk slowly here. The term

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,040
for life in these passages appears thirty six times in

86
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:05,399
the Gospel of John. About twenty five percent of the

87
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,600
uses of the word for life appears in John. Twenty

88
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,160
five percent of those in the New Testament appears in John.

89
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:19,279
What is the term Zoe. I hope my brother and

90
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,040
friend j Ques Green is listening Zoe. That is there.

91
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,240
That is their daughter's name, Zoe. Zoe is life. Okay.

92
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,079
Throughout the rest of John, this idea of life or

93
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:39,839
zoe is most often expressed as everlasting life, the promise

94
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:44,839
of salvation. Thus, the one who gave life at creation,

95
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,959
see we talked about that a lot yesterday, is the

96
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,639
same one who brings salvation or zoe, eternal life to

97
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,000
a lost world. And so if your name is Zoe,

98
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:03,360
my friends the brand their daughter's name is also Zoe.

99
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:07,160
If your name is Zoe, you are representing eternal life.

100
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,879
This may be the day like if your name is Zoe,

101
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,519
I want you to type it in the chat. If

102
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,079
you are on the radio, I want you to go

103
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,839
to your Daily Portion dot com, come back to this

104
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,639
date on the list of videos, and I want you

105
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,560
to type my name is Zoe. And that means that

106
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,519
if your name is Zoe, that you embrace eternal life

107
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,079
because that is your name, eternal life through Christ Jesus.

108
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,399
And so I'm thankful. I'm thankful because the Bible teaches

109
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,120
us behold the lamb of God. As John the Baptist

110
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,639
saw him, Jesus coming onto the scene. Behold the lamb

111
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,160
of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

112
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,519
So zoe is to have our sins taken away. And

113
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,839
so Jesus came. Jesus came for several profound reasons, the

114
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,920
first of which is or one of the primary reasons

115
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,319
is to take away sin. The other in John chapter

116
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920
three and verse sixteen, For God so loved the world

117
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:14,519
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth

118
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,800
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That

119
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,399
is to give us eternal life. So to take away

120
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:26,439
our sins to provide eternal life. And then and then

121
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:29,240
in John chapter six and verse forty, the Bible reads,

122
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,839
and this is the will of Him that sent me,

123
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,959
that every one which seeth the Son and believeth on

124
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,319
him may have everlasting life. And I will raise him

125
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,680
up at the last day. So, if God forbid, you

126
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,199
should go to sleep and rest. Some real soldiers of

127
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,199
the Cross have been dying lately. And we know now

128
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,639
that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. And if

129
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,800
God forbid, we do have to die before Jesus returns.

130
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:05,800
We are clear that he ensures believers resurrection and eternity

131
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,920
with him once Jesus returns. You see, so he came

132
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,959
to take away our sins. He came to provide eternal life.

133
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,839
And if God forbid, you should die or I should

134
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:21,040
die before Jesus comes, he is here to give us

135
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,439
eternity with him after the resurrection. And of course, the

136
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:30,120
overarching theme is that Jesus came to reveal the Father

137
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:35,840
to manifest God as a way or a pathway to salvation.

138
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,080
Now this is true, this is true, and it can

139
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,960
significantly change our lives in practical ways. Let's look at

140
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:49,639
a few of them. Number one freedom from sin. I mean,

141
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,960
by show of hands, who needs to be free from sin.

142
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,799
He realized that because of sin we have diseases on

143
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,960
planet Earth. He realized that because of sin we have

144
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,559
relationship challenges where people are getting divorced or God forbid,

145
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,360
people are abusing each other because something is going wrong.

146
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,440
That's because of sin. The reason why your month is

147
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,120
longer than your money is because of sin. You understand,

148
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Because the same reason why diplomatic relations break down between

149
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:21,919
and among countries is because of sin. The economy going

150
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
bust and things going terribly wrong. It's because of sin.

151
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,960
So we have freedom from sin. That's practical. That's practical,

152
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,759
and then of course we have the privilege of living

153
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,159
abundantly according to John chapter ten and verse ten, as

154
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,759
we receive God into our life through Christ, we can

155
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,559
have life, and have that life more abundantly.

156
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening.

157
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

158
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

159
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

160
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make

161
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
