1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,399
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,119
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning, it is Monday. It's

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,759
October seven, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,280
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,920
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,

14
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,000
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,320
Lesson study series themes in the Gospel of John, and

16
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,479
our caption for today is surely He is the Prophet. Huh,

17
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:01,719
surely he is the Profit. We'll get into that in

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,960
just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,640

29
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,120
you for giving us this day and for the privilege

30
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,120
that you have entrusted to us to open your word again.

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,680
I pray that we will see you as you are

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,480
in your glory, as we look at you by faith,

33
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:53,319
until the day that we can actually stand in your

34
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,959
presence and see you face to face in Jesus name,

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,040
I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So yesterday I

36
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:06,319
was really excited because I'm looking at Jesus as no

37
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:10,840
ordinary man, not just a prophet, even though he told

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,280
us things before they happened, so that when we did

39
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,719
see them happen, that we could believe. Yes, but he's

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,759
no ordinary man. He was one hundred percent God as

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
he was walking on planet Earth. He still is ah

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,199
walking on planet Earth as one hundred percent God and

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,360
one hundred percent male man human right together and this

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,719
is how he was able to affect our salvation. And

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,120
sometimes people get a little bit out of shape because

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,960
I keep using the terminology God interchangeably with Christ. Okay,

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,159
So let's look at it as I'm speaking here, and

48
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:49,639
I'll get off of that subject in a moment. But

49
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,120
look at that as a family name God, So God

50
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,479
the Father, God the Son, God, the Holy Spirit. I

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639
wish I had the time to really teach on that

52
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:03,439
term monology and the Hebrew word that is behind it,

53
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,120
but I don't have that time. But let me just

54
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:09,439
say I'm using the term interchangeably as a family name.

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,319
So Jesus Christ. We're talking about God the Sun. Okay,

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,360
God the Sun, and so God the Sun was no

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,240
ordinary man as he lived on planet Earth. Extraordinary, and

58
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,120
I'm thankful because if an ordinary man, even a sinless

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,560
ordinary man, would not have been able to save us

60
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,400
from our sins. Okay. And so now we read now

61
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,439
in the Bible Book of John, chapter six, beginning at

62
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:40,039
verse fourteen. John chapter six, beginning at verse fourteen, we

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,319
are continuing the story of God's provision from Yesterday's lesson.

64
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:50,039
His miraculous provision to the degree that there was overflow.

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,039
We didn't even talk about the overflow yesterday. There was overflow.

66
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:58,680
When God pours into your life miraculously, he makes provision

67
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960
for you in whatever way he chooses to, there is

68
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,080
always overflow. Whatever He does for you is not just

69
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:08,800
for you. Can I just say that, like whatever He

70
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,800
does for you, he doesn't just do it for you.

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,319
Despite some of these exciting gospel songs, you know what

72
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:19,519
God has for me, it is for me, no disrespect.

73
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,079
I like how the song sounds, I love how it

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800
feels when I sing it. But what I'm saying is

75
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,920
it's not just for you. It never has been just

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,800
for us. Whatever God provides for us, it is freely

77
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:37,560
You have received, freely give. And so in verse fourteen

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,759
of John chapter six, we read then those men, when

79
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,399
they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, this said,

80
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,800
this is a truth that prophet should come into the world.

81
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:55,360
This is of a truth that prophet that should come

82
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,040
into the world. So they were looking forward to a

83
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,920
special manifestation of from God. When Jesus therefore perceived that

84
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,319
they would come and take him by force to make

85
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:12,879
him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

86
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,160
See the timing. The timing was not right. The timing

87
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,360
was not right. To elevate Jesus as King of kings

88
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,240
and Lord of lords. He's worthy of our worship. Yes,

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,480
but these people really wanted someone to follow, to overthrow

90
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,240
the government that they were attached to Rome. They wanted

91
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,279
to overthrow, They wanted to elevate and then say in

92
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:38,480
your face like, finally we have somebody who can rule

93
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:41,399
over you. And Jesus is like, no, I'm not about

94
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:43,839
that life. This is not what we're here for. We're

95
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:48,040
here to save people ah from their sins. And so

96
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:54,240
in verse twenty six we continue. Jesus answered and said, verily, verily,

97
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,959
I say unto you. You seek me not because you

98
00:05:57,079 --> 00:06:00,160
saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,480
loaves and were filled. You see, sometimes we go to

100
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:10,240
God simply to receive daily provision. Sometimes we limit our

101
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,639
access in our own minds to the things that we

102
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,319
can see, taste, touch, and experience through our senses. God

103
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240
give me a job. God give me a relationship with

104
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,279
a man or a woman, so I can be married.

105
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,519
If you're a woman, you want a husband. If you're

106
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,639
a man, you want a wife. And God is saying, Okay,

107
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,000
I can do that, but I can do so much more. God,

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,079
I need some money to pay my light bill. Okay,

109
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,480
I can do that, but that I can do so

110
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,680
much more. Like God, I need my car fixed. I

111
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,480
can do that, but I can do so much more.

112
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,639
Are you? Are you really just satisfied with the loaves

113
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000
and fish? Jesus says in verse twenty seven, labor not

114
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,639
for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which

115
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,319
endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall

116
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,920
give unto you. For him hath God the Father sealed.

117
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,199
Then said they unto him we shall. What shall we

118
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,439
do that we might work the works of God? And

119
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680
I want you, brothers and sisters, I understand that we

120
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:17,920
are living in the last days. I understand that sometimes

121
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
God's people complicate the truth in the last days, and

122
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:23,319
we make it seem as if we have to jump

123
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,639
through some hoops or somehow go through a Navy seal

124
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:31,160
training course and do some extreme things in order to

125
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,680
be in connection with God. But what Jesus says here

126
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,959
is apropos or still applicable. In twenty twenty four, I'll

127
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,319
read the question again and then I'll read the answer.

128
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:48,240
Verse twenty eight. Then said they, unto him, what shall

129
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,600
we do that we might work the works of God?

130
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:54,959
And Jesus answered and said, unto them, this is the

131
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,079
work of God that ye believe on him whom he

132
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,000
hath sent. Come on, you should be excited right now,

133
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,879
You should be relieved right now. Your stress levels should

134
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,639
be going down. Right now. The intensity with which you

135
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,079
think about God should be coming down. And say, but God,

136
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,759
why are you so good to me? Why are you

137
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:23,519
so good to me? He said, Believe in the one

138
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:28,279
whom you sin, whom God has sent. Believe the kind

139
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,839
of belief that lays hold of the power of God

140
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,080
and is transforming our hearts, so that He writes his

141
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,320
laws in our hearts and on our minds. And we

142
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,600
live like Jesus lived. Believe no funny hoops to jump through,

143
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,559
no complicated things to do, no additional things that we

144
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,200
add on to what God has said. He said, believe

145
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:57,159
in whom God has sent. Verse thirty. They said, therefore,

146
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,799
unto him, what signs show us now then that we

147
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440
may see and believe thee What doest thou, What dost

148
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,399
thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert.

149
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,279
As it is written, he gave them bread from heaven

150
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240
to eat. Then Jesus said, unto them, verily, verily, I

151
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,360
say unto you. Moses gave you not that bread from heaven.

152
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,519
But my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. Hah.

153
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,039
For the Bread of God is he which cometh down

154
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,000
from heaven and giveth life unto the world. Can I

155
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,799
just say that Jesus was right there, the ultimate and

156
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,120
real article, the genuine article, the Bread of life. And

157
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:36,279
these guys are still looking for some temporary stuff to

158
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,440
prove something. Jesus Christ is who we need to transform

159
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:44,639
our lives. Let them transform us today. Peace.

160
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

162
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

163
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
