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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,079

10
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:36,200

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,679

our lesson study series lessons of Faith from Joshua, and

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,399
our caption for today is God the fights for you.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,439
That's a recurring theme. That is a recurring theme until

18
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,799
we get it into our minds. God fights for you.

19
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,599
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,400

Bible through music on Friday evenings, is there and also

25
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,959

00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,760
nights per week we have a devotional reading to get

00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:43,280
you prepared for bedtime at seven pm. So Sunday to Friday,

30
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:49,519
no Sunday to Thursday, we are to get Really, let's

31
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:54,239
go from Sabbath first, from Sabbath right through to Thursday,

32
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:56,439
so we can make it make sense. Sabbath right through

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200
to Thursday, we are together in the evenings for a

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,400
devotional thought, a devotional thought seven minutes in length at

35
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,640
seven pm. And then on Friday evenings we are together

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,639
learning the Word of God through music based on the

37
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,479
lesson only original music that you can get here at

38
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:18,960
your daily portion dot com. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,

39
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:22,120
We thank you, Thank you for the privilege of prayer,

40
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:26,000
the privilege of you fighting for us. Please help us

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680
to allow you to and get out of your way.

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,360
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again God

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,560
he fights for you, Oh God, I thank you. So

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,520
let's read the memory text memory text from the lesson

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,800
from Joshua chapter ten and verse forty two. They have

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,360
it here in the English Standard version, and the Bible reads,

47
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,960
and Joshua captured all these kings and their land at

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,439
one time because the Lord God of Israel for Israel,

49
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:08,159
because God fought for his people, Thank God. And so

50
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680
our first lesson, our first lesson is the God who

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,159
enters the battle, He's the one that wins. The God

52
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,879
that enters the battle is the one that wins. Let

53
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,719
me read it again from Exodus chapter fourteen and verse

54
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,599
fourteen to give it another perspective. The Lord shall fight

55
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,639
for you. Did we not just read that with the

56
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:37,199
Joshua text, and ye shall hold your peace? Did we

57
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,360
not read that in the Joshua passage where God gave

58
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:44,319
those kings into the hands of Joshua. Yeah, so the

59
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,879
Lord will fight for you. So when life feels like

60
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,960
a battlefield, and it is, it is it is a battlefield,

61
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,719
which is why in Ephesian six, the Bible writer says

62
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,199
that we should put on the entire armor of God

63
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,159
that we may be able to withsit than the wicked one,

64
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:04,759
and then he gives us seven implements of war, including

65
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,080
prayer at the end of the passage, so that we

66
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,319
will not be overcome by the enemy. Okay, so the

67
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace.

68
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,120
When life feels like a battlefield and it is, I

69
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,319
interrupted myself. Remember that God doesn't send you to fight alone.

70
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,839
That was never his intention. That was never his intention.

71
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,720
He goes before you and he fights for you. I

72
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:35,959
remember Moses saying, God, if you will not be with us,

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,399
please don't send us. God, if you will not be

74
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:43,199
with us, please please don't send us. There's just literally

75
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,920
too much going on. Let's go with our lesson number

76
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:50,519
two before I get too overwhelmed here. And this is

77
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,240
about a war within the larger war from Revelation twelve

78
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,000
and verse seven, until we get it, until we get it.

79
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680
And there was war in heaven. That's where it started.

80
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,040
We talked about that multiple times last week. Mikay Yell

81
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,800
and his angels fought against the dragon, and of course

82
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
the dragon loss. The devil got kicked out with his

83
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,639
evil angels, and so every earthly conflict reflects the great controversy. Yeah,

84
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,160
reflex the Great Controversy. In fact, I want you to

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,800
go to Amazon and pick up and pick up that

86
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,120
book one day. If you don't already have it, you

87
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,439
can also read it online for free, The Great Controversy

88
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:38,160
by Ellen White. That is one of the most incredible books,

89
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,639
especially considering the times in which we live. But every

90
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:46,879
earthly conflict reflects the cosmic war first ignited in heaven.

91
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:52,000
What seems like a human struggle often mirrors the spiritual

92
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,240
warfare between God and the enemy. You see when you're

93
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,279
at work and these things get really crazy and people

94
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,079
are acting the fool and people are losing their mind

95
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,160
over whatever is happening and not able to relate to

96
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,399
one another as civil human beings. Yeah, that's because there's

97
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,160
a war much bigger going on over our heads, the

98
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:15,439
cosmic conflict between good and evil. When your children seem

99
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,399
to have lost their minds, or children your parents seem

100
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,839
to have lost our minds and start to do things

101
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,360
that are not according to the word of God, it's

102
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:29,240
because there is a war going on in heaven. Or

103
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:31,399
there was a war going on in heaven and the

104
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,399
devil lost, and now he's bringing it down here because

105
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:38,480
there is a great controversy happening in these moments. But

106
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,240
guess what. Jesus kicked the devil out. He won the

107
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,720
war in heaven. So that means that in this one

108
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,399
that is now being waged here the final frontier. I

109
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,759
was being melodramatic there. This is the final frontier. And ultimately,

110
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,759
when Jesus continues to win this one down here and

111
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,120
people choose to side with him, and ultimately at the

112
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,519
end of time we go to heaven for a thousand years.

113
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,639
And after the thousand years are finished and God is

114
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,120
creating now the inheritance of the New Earth, He's going

115
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:15,480
to have to destroy the Devil and all of those

116
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,480
who have decided that they don't want to love love,

117
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,040
they don't want to be on the Lord's side, they

118
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,279
do not want to be at peace with God, and

119
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:29,879
therefore they will have to be destroyed. Why because that

120
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,120
pulse of love, that single pulse of love which God is,

121
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,959
needs to reverberate throughout the entire universe, and right now

122
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,639
we're the ones holding it up because of our goofy

123
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,040
decisions to serve the enemy, and because of the enemies

124
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:51,319
hold upon human kind on planet Earth. But when God

125
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,800
finally gets him out of there. The universe will be

126
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,759
as God intended from before there was a beginning. Okay,

127
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,279
And so the Bible teaches us in Isaiah chapter nine

128
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:06,839
and verse six, thank God for unto us, a child

129
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,000
is born. Hmm. And I'll fast forward, and his name

130
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:18,279
shall be called Wonderful counselor the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father,

131
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:23,040
the Prince of Peace. God never intended for us to

132
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:26,720
be at war anywhere in the universe. It was never

133
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,519
the reality. He always wanted peace, even as he fought

134
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,799
for God's people. His prophets looked forward to the day

135
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,879
when the Prince of Peace, as we read in Isaiah

136
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,320
one of his prophets, the Prince of Peace would end

137
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:44,960
all violence because the government would be upon his shoulders,

138
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,679
not on the shoulders of humans that can't get along. Like,

139
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,799
sometimes I really shouldn't go into this, but sometimes I

140
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,559
wonder how this war thing really works on planet Earth

141
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,399
because I'm like, there are some rules of engagement. There

142
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,559
are things, according to the Geneva Convention, that are off limits.

143
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,519
I won't say it because I don't want my channel

144
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200
to get knocked on this side note, but the point

145
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,960
is there are some things that different countries do to

146
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120
discipline themselves when engaging in war, And I'm like, well, God,

147
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,360
if the people can during war discipline themselves to avoid this,

148
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,919
avoid that, Avoid these places where people worship, avoid these

149
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:27,320
places where people are being taken care of, avoid these places,

150
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,159
then why not just have peace? If you can be

151
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,559
that disciplined there to why not just be disciplined and

152
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,440
have peace. But I digress. God fights for you ultimately. Ultimately,

153
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320
if you yield your will to God, he will win

154
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,679
over the enemy in your life and you will be

155
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:44,720
saved peace.

156
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

157
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

158
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

159
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
