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 --> 00:00:26,320
today and receive the power we need to live healthy.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,359
Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

10
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Friday, May sixteenth,

12
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:40,600
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

13
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,280
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,399
where we give you God's word every single day and

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,920
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,359
study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption

17
00:00:54,439 --> 00:01:02,280
for today is Redeemed and Restored. Redeemed and Restored. Yes,

18
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:04,079
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,280
welcome to you and ask you to please go over

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,280
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community.

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,680
There is a red button over there. I want you

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,920
to go ahead and click in on that red button

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,680
as well and let us know where you are in

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,599
the world at your Daily portion dot com. This is

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,920
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,840
will get underway. Father, We thank you for this preparation day,

28
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:36,799
the opportunity for us to get closer to you and

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,719
prepare for the time that you have given us in

30
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:42,560
the week called the Sabbath. Thank you for the rest

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,000
that we have in you. Please let us be mindful

32
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:50,439
always of your presence. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen,

33
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:56,640
and a man again redeemed and restored. There are so

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
many things that I'd like to say, but I need

35
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,599
to be disciplined today. The Bible says, let the redeemed

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,640
of the Lord say so, Sister Patrice, you're probably watching, listen.

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,360
The Bible says, let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

38
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,759
Are you one of God's children? It's a simple question,

39
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:20,039
but sometimes people get hung up on it when we

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:27,080
get real complicated as Christianese speaking people or believers. Right, yes,

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,719
if you were one of God's children and you are

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400
choosing to surrender your will to Him, and you understand

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240
like and have the goal of helping others do the same.

44
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Then you're redeemed. Jesus gave everything so that we could

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,400
be restored. And so I'm going to begin by reading

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,479
a little bit from the Great Controversy, page six hundred

47
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:56,080
and seventy one, and it reads, Christ looks upon the

48
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,960
redeemed we're talking about when we are in his presence.

49
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,919
He looks upon the redeemed in his own image, every

50
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,759
heart bearing the perfect impress of the Divine, every face

51
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,439
reflecting the likeness of their king. He beholds in them

52
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,520
the result of the travail of his soul and is satisfied.

53
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,919
This is when we are in his presence in heaven. Finally,

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,159
when all that we have experienced on planet Earth as

55
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:29,400
it is, has been taken care of, we are now

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120
in heaven for that thousand years period. And of course

57
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:38,319
this extends throughout eternity. Okay. And the Bible does teach

58
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560
us in the Book of Isaiah, chapter fifty three, that

59
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,319
Jesus one day, the Messiah, one day will see the

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,840
travail of his soul and be satisfied. That means he

61
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,039
will see all that he went through. And he lived

62
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,680
on planet Earth for thirty three and one half years.

63
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,439
He will see all that he felt when he was

64
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680
on the cross and he sensed that God, his father,

65
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,319
had forsaken him. I'm not saying that he had been

66
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,039
forsaken in the way that we see it, but he

67
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,120
felt forsaken. Why have you forsaken me? This is what

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Jesus cried out while he was on the cross. The

69
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:13,560
Bible says that he will see all of that. When

70
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,560
they were ripping his beard out of his face, as

71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,680
the Old Testament Bible writers said, as they were not

72
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,879
just piercing his side. That sounds really kind of like

73
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:26,600
popping a balloon. When they stabbed him in the side

74
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,600
with a with a javelin or a sword, and his

75
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,639
body poured forth water and blood. He will see that

76
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,600
time when they mocked him and spat on him and

77
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,600
put a crown of thorns on his head, and then

78
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,519
hit him in the head with the staff and then

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,319
started to mock and deride him. He will see all

80
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,720
of that that he went through when he was hungry,

81
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:54,759
and he was thirsty and he needed rest, the many

82
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,959
times that he had to go into the presence of

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,319
God our father and beg for strength, and when he

84
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,839
was in the garden of gethsemine. And he had gotten

85
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,519
to the point that the stress level of carrying our

86
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,439
burden of sin was so heavy that he started to

87
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,639
sweat as it were great drops of blood. He will

88
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,879
see those moments and say it was worth it all.

89
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:20,879
He'll look into your faces. He'll look into my face

90
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:23,759
and say it was worth it all to redeem and

91
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,160
to restore these people. Having them right here with me now,

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,199
like I prayed when I prayed to my father, and

93
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,319
we see it in John chapter seventeen. Please please let

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,120
them be where I am. Let them be where I am.

95
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,319
He will see all of that, and he will be satisfied.

96
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,720
Let me see here, it says. It continues, he declares,

97
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,959
behold the purchase of my blood for these. I suffered

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,959
for these. I died that they might dwell in my

99
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,399
presence throughout eternal ages. Can you see yourself there, brothers

100
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:01,720
and sisters, Can you see yourself there? I have been

101
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,720
preparing for a trip, and then I get on an airplane.

102
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,160
I had to pack my luggage, I had to do

103
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,199
all sorts of things in order to get there, and

104
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,439
need passports and all kinds of things in order to

105
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:16,199
go where I'm going. I'm preparing to go somewhere. Are

106
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:19,079
you preparing to go into the presence of Jesus Christ

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,720
in heaven? Are you preparing to live and the earth

108
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,399
made new as a fulfillment of his promise that the

109
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,920
meek will inherit the earth. Well, he has prepared a

110
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,240
place for you so that when he does come again,

111
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:36,759
he will receive you unto himself, that where he is,

112
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,519
you can be also. And guess what. It continues, and

113
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,680
the song of praise ascends from the white robed ones

114
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,720
about the throne. Worthy is the lamb that was slain

115
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:55,399
to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and

116
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,199
honor and glory and blessing. If you're looking at me,

117
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:03,920
those are things seven things that happen when we are

118
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:07,959
in his presence talking about the worthiness of Jesus Christ,

119
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,040
the lamb that was slain. That's the perfect praise. That

120
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,839
is the perfect praise. If you want to know what

121
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,079
the perfect praise is, then examine these things again. In

122
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,079
Revelation chapter five and verse twelve. I'm so glad that

123
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:26,279
Jesus gave me the privilege of becoming one of his children.

124
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,759
Now I'm going to give you a few takeaways. A

125
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,480
few takeaways. A few takeaways. One is from Romans, Part

126
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:36,959
of Me, chapter nine and verse twenty two. But what

127
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,759
if God, willing to demonstrate his wrath and to make

128
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:45,560
known his power, has endured with much patience the objects

129
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,199
of wrath prepared for destruction. Here is the lesson. The

130
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:53,879
lesson is God allows rebellion because really the devil seemed

131
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,399
to have been able to run rough shot the entire

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,879
time from the point that Eve fell into sin and

133
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Adam jumped into sin, and I wish I had the time. Ah,

134
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,720
But God is showing us that he allowed the rebellion

135
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560
to continue so that the universe could fully see how

136
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,160
destructive evil is. Yeah, so ask God to help you

137
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,399
to recognize the evil effects of sin. Help God. Ask

138
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,639
God to help you to see all that Jesus went

139
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,639
through in order to save us, and then learn to

140
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,480
appreciate God for this. For God so loved the world.

141
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,279
The Bible says that He gave us his only begotten son,

142
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,840
that whosoever believeth on him, do you believe in him?

143
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:39,799
Truly truly believe in him? Ah? We well don't have

144
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:44,840
to perish, We don't have to have eternal death like

145
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:47,960
we can have eternal life. He's not looking for someone

146
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,279
to condemn. This is what Jesus did. So he allows

147
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,879
rebellion to go, but so far so that people can

148
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,440
see how evil evil is and say, you know what

149
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,039
I prefer to be in the presence of God. I

150
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,519
prefer to live with the one who loves me, rather

151
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
than to be a servant a slave to the one

152
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,159
who hates me. Let's go with one more before we close.

153
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,320
In Colossians, chapter two and verse fifteen, disarming the rulers

154
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,720
and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them,

155
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:23,200
triumphing over them by the cross, the lesson at the cross,

156
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:29,759
Jesus fully defeated Satan and secured a place for us,

157
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,480
for you, brothers and sisters to live with him forever.

158
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,799
And the empty tomb just solidified it. I'm so grateful

159
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:41,519
that he has redeemed. I'm so grateful that He will

160
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,000
even more than restore us at the appropriate time. Peace.

161
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

162
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

163
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

164
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
