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

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday, January sixteen,

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,159
twenty twenty four. No really, it's twenty twenty five. I

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,039
keep getting mixed up. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.

13
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:46,679
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,119
where we give you God's word every single day, and

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,520
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,719
study series God's Love and Justice, and our caption for

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,439
today is a worthy goal. A worthy goal. We'll get

18
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:05,280
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like

19
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:07,200
to say welcome to you and ask you to please

20
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,400
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,959
our online community and let us know where you are

22
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,040
in the world. At your Daily Portion dot com. This

23
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,280
is one of the ways that we continue to build

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,239
faith and fellowship of getting tongue tied today. Let's go

25
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:28,959
ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,439
and Heaven. Thank you for this day and for giving

27
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:34,840
us the privilege to consider you, consider your word, and

28
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,920
not just consider, but to be transformed by you. Transformed

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,760
by your word, Father, I pray that you will open

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
up our understanding and give us the fullness of your

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a

32
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:54,280
man again a worthy goal. I want to know what

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,959
your goals are. You can come into the community at

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,159
your Daily Portion dot com and share what some of

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,920
your goals are, and they are, you know, things that

36
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:07,680
you can actually measure and attain unto. I wish I

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,319
had the time. I'm a coach, so I'm tempted to

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,960
go in that area, but I'm gonna just push pause

39
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,120
right here. So go into the community and we'll talk

40
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,039
about that. But the goal that we are are looking

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,560
for based on today's lesson, is found in Mark chapter nine,

42
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,080
Mark chapter nine, beginning at verse seventeen. I hope you

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,439
have your Bibles, Mark chapter nine beginning at verse seventeen.

44
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,439
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I

45
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,199
have brought unto thee my son, which cannot speak. He

46
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:48,000
has a dumb spirit, and whersoever he taketh him, he tearrieth,

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,879
teareth him, and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth

48
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:57,120
and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, and

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,680
they that they should cast him out, but they could not.

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,719
And so this, this parent, this person is distraught because

51
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:13,199
their child has the devil who's keeping the child from speaking,

52
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:18,479
And the people who were closest to Jesus can't do

53
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,800
anything about it. What are your goals, brothers and sisters? Like,

54
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,039
what are your goals? Let's keep reading? He answered, and

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,000
said unto him, and said, oh, faithless generation, how long

56
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:33,639
shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer?

57
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:37,879
You bring him unto me? And they brought him unto him,

58
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:43,560
And when he saw him straightway, the spirit tear him.

59
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:48,159
So those evil spirits, those fallen angels, know exactly who

60
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,719
Jesus is, and they know that this is the it's up,

61
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,639
Like your jig is up. The jig is up, It's

62
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,680
time to go. Because they know the presence of God.

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,039
And he fell on the ground and wallowed foaming. And

64
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,680
he asks his father, how long is it a goal?

65
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,319
Since this came unto him? And he said, of a child,

66
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,520
and oftentimes it casteth him into the fire and into

67
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,839
the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do anything,

68
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:22,040
have compassion on us and help us. And Jesus said,

69
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,480
unto him, if thou canst believe, hallelujah, all things are possible.

70
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:33,120
What are your goals today, brothers and sister sisters? Unto

71
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,279
him that believeth and straightway. The father of the child

72
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:41,920
cried out and said, with tears, Lord, I believe. What

73
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,879
are your goals today, brothers and sisters? Lord, I believe?

74
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,160
Help thou mine unbelief? And so now we know that

75
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:55,199
one of them the primary, I should say, primary goal

76
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:59,240
is for us to have true faith in God, true

77
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,399
faith in God, the kind that lays hold on the

78
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:06,839
power of God. Okay, it says here, Lord, I do believe,

79
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:09,720
But help thou mine unbelief. What do you see there?

80
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Do you see his vulnerability? Do you see his desperation?

81
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Do you see that he is in the presence of

82
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240
God and he knows that there is a requirement, if

83
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,839
you want to say in air quotes, for us to

84
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,079
believe in order for this thing, this scourge, this difficulty

85
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,120
that his child is having. He knows that there is

86
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,920
just one prerequisite, and that is to believe. But in

87
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:41,240
the moment that he is exercising the tiny faith that

88
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,519
he has, he realizes, you know what, if I leave

89
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,040
it up to me, if I believe that faith, that

90
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,439
my faith is where the power is, then I'm going

91
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,160
to lose out here. My son is going to continue

92
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,800
to be this way. He's going to continue to be

93
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,920
under the control of the devil. So if I trust

94
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,519
my belief, if I trust my faith and say that

95
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,360
is what it is, then I know I'm gonna come

96
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:08,639
up short. So God, I do believe. I don't know

97
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,800
what that means. God, But whatever it is that I have,

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480
I need more. I need more of it so that

99
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,839
I can have the power that you that you're telling

100
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:22,199
me you're welcoming and welcoming me into your presence and power,

101
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,000
and I need more. I need more, And so help

102
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,959
thou mine unbelief. What are your goals today, brothers and sisters?

103
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,319
Verse twenty five. When Jesus saw that the people came

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,279
running together. He rebuked the foul spirit, saying, unto him,

105
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,519
thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out

106
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,839
of him and enter no more into him. What do

107
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,959
you think that the foul spirit did? Hm hm mm

108
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,000
hm Verse twenty six. And the spirit cried and rent

109
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,959
him sore and came out of him, and he was

110
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,800
as one dead. Takes a lot of energy when the

111
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,439
devil is buffeting people, when the devil is occupying people's lives,

112
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,040
it takes a lot of energy out of them. And

113
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:17,120
so the Bible continues insomuch that many actually said, yeah,

114
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,079
he's dead. But Jesus, I need you to type that

115
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,800
in the chat. But Jesus, but Jesus did something special.

116
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,000
He took him by the hand, He lifted him up,

117
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,079
and he arose. See the same one who created this

118
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,199
young man, huh, The same one who breathed into his

119
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,879
nostrils the breath of life, and that young man became

120
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,399
a living soul, The same one that created those angels

121
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,399
who are now fallen, the same one who told them

122
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:52,879
that they had to leave, and that they were no

123
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,800
longer welcomed. That every debt that would have caused spiritual

124
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,240
debt that would have caused them to be able to

125
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,360
occupy This boy is now canceled. Jesus is in control.

126
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720
The same one took him up by the hand. Well,

127
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:11,519
people thought he was dead, like they thought he was dead,

128
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800
But how could he be dead in the presence of God?

129
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,079
How could he be dead in the presence of God?

130
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:20,439
And so the Bible says that he took him by

131
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,319
the hand. He took him by the hand, he lifted

132
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,839
him up, and then he arose, And when he was

133
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,480
come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, well,

134
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,959
why couldn't we do that? And he said, unto them,

135
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,080
this kind may come forth by nothing but by prayer

136
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,240
and fasting. What is your goal, brothers and sister, your

137
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,679
chief goal for yourself? Could it be that we should

138
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,440
have the goal of being so connected to God that

139
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,240
in any moment we can be instant in season and

140
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,320
out of season, that somehow He can use us in

141
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,000
situations like these and others where humans have no strength.

142
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,039
But if we are connect to God, then His power

143
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:06,320
is omnipotent in our lives. Could it be that when

144
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:10,639
we are called upon to serve God, it takes everything

145
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,159
to serve the Lord, it be that sometimes we hold

146
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,120
some back for ourselves. I wish I had the time.

147
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,879
What I need you to do while you're contemplating this

148
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:24,080
is to go to page fifty in our Your Daily

149
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:28,919
Portion companion book and apply whichever of the four that

150
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360
most resonate with you. If I had the time, I

151
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:36,559
would be looking at the relationship application. But you know

152
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,039
how this goes a worthy goal to be connected to

153
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,639
God unreservedly and be saved peace.

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

155
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

156
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your Daily

157
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
Portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
