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 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, April fifteen,

11
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,280
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:43,079
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,200
where we give you God's word every single day and

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,679
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:53,920
study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption

16
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,840
for today is Hoseiah's harlot Wife. That sounds insulting, Hosea's

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,400
harlot wife. Well we'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:05,959
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,120
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,599

are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.

26
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,439
This is one of the ways that we continue to

27
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:36,599
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,079
then we will get underway. Bother in heaven. Thank you

29
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,000
for giving us this new day and for the opportunity

30
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,480
to consider you and how much you love us. Thank

31
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,560
you for giving us the kind of examples in the

32
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,200
scriptures that we can actually relate to. In Jesus' name,

33
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:59,159
I pray a men and a men again. Oh, this

34
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:05,640
study is really interesting to me, really interesting to me, because, yeah,

35
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:11,520
sometimes we gloss over the fact that God loves us.

36
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,280
And I say gloss over because there's a lot that

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,639
we need to overcome in our lives. And yet God

38
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:23,800
loves us like he knows us perfectly and still loves us.

39
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,599
He knows what's in our secret closets, you know what

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,159
I mean, Like if you open the door of your closet,

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,199
there are skeletons that drop out of there. Yeah, he

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,159
knows all of that and yet he still loves us,

43
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,439
and I'm thankful. Now, if we go into the Bible

44
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:45,360
book of Hosea, we see an interesting story, and it's

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,000
not just interesting, it can be perplexing if we don't

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,080
understand the character of God. And the Bible reads in

47
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:54,719
verse one, I mean, excuse me. In verse two of

48
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,599
Hoseiah chapter one, the beginning of the word of the

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,759
Lord to Hoseiah, the Lord's said, unto Hoseiah, go take

50
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,879
unto thee a wife of horedoms and children of hortems

51
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,439
for the land committed great hortom, departing from the Lord.

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,800
And then in verse one of Hosea chapter three, the

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,879
Bible reads then said the Lord, unto me, go love

54
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,080
a woman beloved of her friend. Let me go to

55
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,479
the net version, the Lord said to me, go show

56
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:37,479
love to your wife again. Go show love to your

57
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,960
wife again, even though she loves another man and continually

58
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,759
commits adultery. I wish I had the time to deal

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,919
with the reality of our experiences when one or the

60
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,439
other spouse commits adultery. But we're talking about God and

61
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,000
his perspective, his love toward his people. When his people

62
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,039
go astray, and so go show your love to your

63
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,560
wife again, even though she loves another man and continually

64
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,159
commits adultery. Likewise, the Lord loves the people of God,

65
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:18,959
although they turned to other gods and love to offer

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,879
raisin cakes to idols, of course, and it's speaking of

67
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,439
something in their context, but they were sacrificing to idols

68
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:31,800
and false gods. And God is saying, I want you

69
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560
to feel and sense the reality of what I go

70
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,319
through when I have to love you, my people. I

71
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,680
want you, Hoseiah, as a prophet to the nations, to

72
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:47,120
be able to communicate keenly what it is like when

73
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,360
my people because of their lack of real connection with me,

74
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,680
because they are trying to make up ways to be holy,

75
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,240
when all I said was to believe, and I will

76
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,160
give you my laws in your hearts and on your

77
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,439
minds and cause you to live my commandments. But you're

78
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:10,600
making up new ways, and you're looking for other gods

79
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,199
and putting them before me. Even though they are doing

80
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,240
all of that, I still love them. I still love them.

81
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560
This is not permission to walk away from God. It

82
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:22,920
is not permission to play the heart that. It is

83
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:26,680
not permission to forget our God. But Joseia, you as

84
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,199
a prophet to the nations, I need you to be

85
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,959
able to sense and feel some of what I go through. Now,

86
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,800
there's something very interesting that happens in the Book of Revelation.

87
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:42,199
Though we still see God's people playing the harlot, but

88
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,160
there's a very different perspective here. And in verses one

89
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,600
and two of Revelation, chapter seventeen, the Bible reads, and

90
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,720
there came one of the seven angels saying, unto me,

91
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:57,439
of course, I'm leaving a few words out come hither

92
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,800
I will show thee the judgment and of the great

93
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,600
horror that sitteth upon many waters. We're not going to

94
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,000
go into the detail of who the horror is, but

95
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,319
clearly it is God's people who have gone astray to

96
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:15,480
the extreme and refuse to repent. I'll leave it right there,

97
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,519
the false Church. I'll leave it right there for now.

98
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,519
And the Bible says, of the judgment of the great

99
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,839
horror that sitteth upon many waters, with whom the kings

100
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:31,480
of the earth have committed fornication, and the part of me,

101
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,160
the inhabitants of the earth, have been made drunk with

102
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,920
the wine of her fornication. So not only has God's

103
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,480
people in this have God's people in that context turned

104
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,360
away from God? Not only have God's people, if we

105
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:50,279
read more of it, try to replace God. The Harlot

106
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,759
Church tried to replace God and remove Jesus from the throne,

107
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920
remove Jesus as the one mediator between God and man,

108
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,720
to seek to also change times in the law of God, etc.

109
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:07,680
But the Bible says that this Harlot, these people who

110
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,920
were of God, who turned away from God, who now

111
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:16,639
worship other Gods and themselves desire to be worshiped as

112
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,519
God in the place of God sitting in the Temple

113
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,720
of God. The Bible says that they are going out

114
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:25,399
to the world to cause the world to do the

115
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,600
very same thing, to turn their backs on God. And

116
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,879
so the Bible is teaching us in those verses and

117
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,800
also in Revelation chapter eighteen, verses one through four, that

118
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680
those who do turn away from Him, those who reject

119
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480
the love that we see in the Hoseah passage where

120
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,600
he in Ezekiel we talked about yesterday where he puts

121
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,439
us banner over us, which is love, and he has

122
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,319
wooed us with the power of the Holy Ghost. And

123
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,759
even sometimes he has chastised us in order to correct us.

124
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,399
Those whom he loves, he rebukes, and he chased. Since

125
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,279
the Bible says that there are some people who will

126
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:05,800
who will just turn and never come back to God.

127
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:09,480
There are some people who, through their spiritual pride, will

128
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,560
become in their own mind worthy of worship. They will

129
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:17,560
cause people who don't worship them that they should die.

130
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,279
And it's like, whoa wait a minute, what went wrong here?

131
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:25,759
How do we go from being God's people, the apple

132
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,439
of his eye? How do we go from being covered

133
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,159
in his righteousness? How do we go from being those

134
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
that have been speaking to him and hearing from him,

135
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
those who have been filled with His holy spirit and

136
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:44,879
been the ones who who are assisting in the transformation

137
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
of other people to becoming an ir, a person who

138
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:55,399
is not able to come back to God. Well, the

139
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,440
Bible does teach us that there comes a point. Because

140
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,679
God is a perfect gentleman, there comes a point when,

141
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:06,039
if God forbid his people continue to walk away from him,

142
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,879
continue to choose other gods before him, continue to even

143
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:16,519
esteem ourselves as gods too, that he'll just accept, not

144
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:21,159
because he wants to, but he'll accept our decision He's

145
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:22,720
not going to tie us up and put us in

146
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,159
the basement and try to force us to love him.

147
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,360
You see. So God wanted Hoseiah to feel and sense

148
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240
the reality of what it takes for God to love

149
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,799
people who sometimes don't love him in return. But the

150
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,639
outcome that God desires is that we will repent, that

151
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,320
we will learn how to love God in return. Peace.

152
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

153
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

154
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

155
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
