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
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,679
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello. It is Thursday, September eleven, in twenty

11
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:42,840
twenty five, and this is your Daily Portion Lunchtime edition.

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,840
I know you're like, what, Yes, Lunchtime Edition where we

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,399
give you God's word every single day and today is

14
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,359
no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series

15
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:58,200
through the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today

16
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:03,560
is intercession, Intercession before we pray. I want to introduce

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,480
this new concept because you're like, but I just saw

18
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:08,879
you this morning, and we've been watching you at five

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,239
am every single morning for many years. And that's true.

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,120
But many of you have been asking, like, can you

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,760
lengthen the program? And I'm like, no, God said ten

22
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:22,799
minutes every single day. But since then we have added

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,400
the Life Application Guide. Okay, and so what we're gonna

24
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,079
do at least try it out for a couple of

25
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:35,319
weeks at one pm Jamaica time at one pm Jamaica

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:41,519
time is dedicate the time strictly to the Life Application part.

27
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:44,599
And you can get the Life Application Guide at your

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Daily Portion dot com. Okay, let me go ahead and pray,

29
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,560
and then you'll see how this flows. Father in Heaven,

30
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:55,120
thank you for giving us the opportunity to come together again.

31
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,120
Now we're here two times in the day. Father, I'm

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,040
asking you to please give us a will and a

33
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:06,200
discernment so that we can apply what we learned this morning.

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,919
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay.

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,919
And so I neglected to say a little bit earlier

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,199
that we will not be here on Sabbaths. I am

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,439
not competing with our experience in worship together corporate worship

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,319
on Saturdays. Okay, So Sunday through Friday, we'll try it

39
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,599
and see how this goes. If the Lord continues to

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,479
bless them, we'll continue to do this. Otherwise we'll just

41
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,039
stick to the morning, okay. And so intercession. We already

42
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:41,400
discussed the details of the lesson this morning, but let's

43
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:45,199
go right to spiritual application. And for those who've not

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,680
gotten the application guide, we cover four key areas spiritual,

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,680
personal relationships, and professional application. Okay, and we use the

46
00:02:56,759 --> 00:03:01,560
acronym win win, And let's be again with spiritual application.

47
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,599
W What is important now? God's love bears our sin

48
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,400
at the highest cost. I don't think I need to

49
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560
drill that. In fact, we don't have the time for that.

50
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,039
But that is what's important under spiritual application. Internalize the insight.

51
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,879
I Moses stepped into a place few people would dare

52
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,599
think about what Moses did. He interceded, well, really he intervened,

53
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,319
but he interceded in such a way that really could

54
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,919
have put him in danger. He didn't know that it wouldn't,

55
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,919
but he was willing to risk it. Okay, he was

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,719
willing to be blotted out if it meant salvation for

57
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,199
the people. Ask yourself, like, are you willing to do that?

58
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,080
I'm not saying you should be, but that is amazing.

59
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,800
This mirrors the ultimate sacrifice God made in Christ. This

60
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,439
is why we are told that Moses was a type

61
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,599
or a foreshadowing or symbol of the Messiah Jesus Christ.

62
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:14,599
Continuing forgiveness required God himself to carry sin. This is

63
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:18,680
not light, it's the deepest kind of love. Well, what's

64
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,959
the next best move in that regard? Daily? Thank God

65
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,439
for carrying your sin. Approach him with humility, knowing what

66
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,600
it will cost him to save you. I won't say

67
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,360
a lot about that. We're going to run on now

68
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:39,480
to personal application. What is important now. Sacrificial love always

69
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:44,639
involves personal costs. We're taking this personal now. Internalize the insight.

70
00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:52,040
Moses's intercession shows how true love for others goes beyond words.

71
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,720
Some people talk about it, but what God is showing

72
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800
us is that we need to be about it, not

73
00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:59,399
just talk about it. It stands in the gap when

74
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,000
people the people do not deserve it. Are there people

75
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,519
in your relationships or well, we'll get to that in

76
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279
a moment. But people that you relate to that you

77
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:14,319
feel like don't deserve God's fill in the blank, his mercy.

78
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,759
Look at how they've done X, Y, or Z, and

79
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,519
they've not turned to him. So well, what we're learning

80
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,639
now is that this kind of love stands in the

81
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,759
gap when people don't deserve it. The Cross reveals the

82
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,720
same love on a global scale. Remember God's soul loved

83
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,519
the world that he gave his only begotten son. Okay,

84
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,399
and then n next best move? Ask God to give

85
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,040
you a heart that is willing to intercede for others,

86
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:51,680
even when it requires personal sacrifice. Relationships application, what is important? Now?

87
00:05:52,199 --> 00:06:00,319
Intercession can heal broken relationships, internalize the insight. Other than

88
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,240
writing off those who fail, we're talking about relationship wise now,

89
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:08,720
Moses pled for them. His example teaches us not to

90
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:13,480
give up on others when they fall. Intercessory prayer create

91
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:18,480
space for God's mercy to work. God is receiving the

92
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,160
permission if you want to say, to do something above

93
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:26,759
and beyond what people are expecting when we intercede for them.

94
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,439
And then, and what is the next best move in relationships?

95
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,279
In this case, begin interceding for one broken relationship in

96
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,319
your life. Let me ask you. Is it your spouse

97
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:40,000
that your relationship is broken with? Is it your one

98
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,759
of your parents. You could be an elder and you

99
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,319
still have problems with your parents. Is it somebody at

100
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,800
the workplace? So begin interceding. That means actively praying, going

101
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,639
to God and saying God I need you to please

102
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680
work on behalf of filling the blank person in my life.

103
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,199
Please will you do that? And then ask God to

104
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:11,040
work where you cannot, ask God to work where you cannot.

105
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600
And then finally, our professional application. You're going to work,

106
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,519
you have a business, you are developing a business, or

107
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,839
maybe you're a student, but this is a professional application.

108
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,120
W what is important now? Leaders must carry their people's burdens.

109
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,560
Or you're a leader at work. You may even be

110
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:36,360
a background leader, somebody who is secondary to the primary leaders.

111
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:40,160
Maybe behind the scenes. You do things that impact the

112
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,600
or influence the flow in your organization or your company,

113
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,519
or even if you're at school, you may be a

114
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,399
student that people look up to. So I want you

115
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:54,720
to apply that as well, and then I internalize the insight.

116
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:01,079
Moses did not hide behind his position. He carried the

117
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,720
weight of his people's sin before God. Let me read

118
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:10,839
that again. Moses did not hide behind his position. He

119
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
did not say, because he's the leader of God's people,

120
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,279
Oh well, God, you said that, this is what's going

121
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,639
to happen to them. I'm doing my job. They need

122
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,639
to be doing their jobs. He didn't hide behind that.

123
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,319
He carried the weight of His people's sin before God.

124
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,319
Leadership calls us to care deeply for the spiritual and

125
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,000
practical well being of those we serve. And I understand.

126
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,840
And some workplaces, you're not going to be overt with

127
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,039
the way that you come in. It's not a church

128
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,799
unless you do work in a ministry somewhere. But the

129
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:48,240
fact is that you know that there are people who

130
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,799
need the Lord. Some of your coworkers, some your direct reports,

131
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,600
and maybe even your supervisors need the Lord. And so

132
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:00,759
you're going to go there thinking that way and ask

133
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,679
God to help you carry their needs before Him with

134
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,399
wisdom and courage. Are you going to ask them periodically?

135
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:11,720
I don't know. You need to think it and pray

136
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:15,360
it through. Is there anything I could pray for you about? Hey,

137
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:17,480
fill in the blank name. Is there something that you're

138
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,600
going through today that you feel like it's just a

139
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,039
little bit too heavy? Is there something I can do

140
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,039
to assist, something I can do to help? So what

141
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,519
we want to do in the coming days, well, tomorrow

142
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,000
will be the final one until Sunday is apply these

143
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:37,320
truths and see how God will help us grow in

144
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,000
these four key areas. We'll see you in the morning.

145
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:46,720
If the Lord spears life peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.

146
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

147
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

148
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

149
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
