Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, July thirty,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
Speaker 2: where we give you God's Word every single day, and
Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Mark and our caption
Speaker 2: for today is the on the roller Coaster with Jesus.
Speaker 2: On the roller Coaster with Jesus. We'll get into that
Speaker 2: in just a moment, but first I'd like to say
Speaker 2: welcome to you and ask you to please go over
Speaker 2: to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,
Speaker 2: pick up the Your Daily Portion book, and let us
Speaker 2: know where you are in the world at your Daily
Speaker 2: Portion dot com. This is a way that we continue
Speaker 2: to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
Speaker 2: thank you for giving us this day and for bringing
Speaker 2: us all the way to the end of the month. Father,
Speaker 2: Please help us to live with anticipation and hope as
Speaker 2: we look forward to what's coming in the next month,
Speaker 2: the next quarter. If you should spare our lives, but
Speaker 2: more importantly, Lord, help us to live and grow and
Speaker 2: be more holy today than we've ever been in our lives.
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're on the roller coaster with Jesus. If you don't
Speaker 2: know what a roller coaster is, please look it up
Speaker 2: on the internet because it'll make sense if you look
Speaker 2: it up. So listen. I don't like roller coasters. I
Speaker 2: want to just go ahead and start right there. I
Speaker 2: do not like roller coasters. I don't like anything that
Speaker 2: I cannot predict what's about to happen. They go too fast,
Speaker 2: they go to to like sudden turns, and some of
Speaker 2: them make you dizzy. I don't like roller coasters, real talk.
Speaker 2: It's not that I'm fearful and if I were, I
Speaker 2: would just say it like I'm afraid, but I'm not.
Speaker 2: I literally cannot stand stuff like that. But what if
Speaker 2: what if we're on the roller coaster with Jesus. What
Speaker 2: if we are on the ride of our lives with Jesus.
Speaker 2: You see, sometimes humans don't like being with Jesus. And
Speaker 2: it's not that we don't love him. It's not that
Speaker 2: we don't want him in our lives for real, for real.
Speaker 2: We don't like the sudden turns, we don't like the dips,
Speaker 2: we don't like when things make us dizzy. We don't
Speaker 2: like the unpredictability of things. And Jesus is just saying, listen,
Speaker 2: put on the safety harness, wait for this thing to start,
Speaker 2: hold up your hands, and enjoy the ride. And so
Speaker 2: this would be almost like a day in the life
Speaker 2: of Jesus. Okay, So we're going into the Book of Mark,
Speaker 2: the Book of Mark, chapter five, and I will read
Speaker 2: beginning at verse twenty one, the Bible Book of Mark,
Speaker 2: chapter five, beginning at verse twenty one, and the Bible reads,
Speaker 2: and when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto
Speaker 2: the other side, much people gathered to him, and he
Speaker 2: was nigh unto the sea. So he's barely coming off
Speaker 2: of the ship. He still has sand on his feet,
Speaker 2: his water his feet, his ankles are still wet. And
Speaker 2: the people are coming to him right as he gets
Speaker 2: barely out of the water. And behold, there comes one
Speaker 2: of the rulers of the synagogue, Gyris by name, And
Speaker 2: when he saw him, he fell at his feet. You know,
Speaker 2: seldom do I hear I know that we read the words,
Speaker 2: but seldom do I hear that this was a ruler
Speaker 2: of the synagogue. I know that the Bible says it
Speaker 2: very clearly, but sometimes people just kind of run by
Speaker 2: that quickly, be run by it quickly, and don't say
Speaker 2: it in such a way that we can make an
Speaker 2: emphasis like he is a ruler in the synagogue, he's
Speaker 2: a religious leader. This was unprecedented, really, the religious leaders
Speaker 2: didn't normally go to Jesus. And then the Bible says
Speaker 2: he saw him, he fell at his feet and besought
Speaker 2: him greatly, saying, my little daughter live at the point
Speaker 2: of death. I pray thee come and lay their hands
Speaker 2: on her, that she may be healed and she shall live.
Speaker 2: And Jesus said unto him, and much people follow went
Speaker 2: with part of me, and Jesus went with him and
Speaker 2: much people followed him and thronged him. So Jesus is
Speaker 2: on the way to heal this desperate man's daughter. But
Speaker 2: like on the way, somebody interrupts their movement. I told
Speaker 2: you I don't like roller coasters. Like if this were
Speaker 2: a taxi, like you would be on your way wherever
Speaker 2: you're going. If it's a hired car, you know where
Speaker 2: you're going and you can anticipate when you're going to arrive,
Speaker 2: you know what the outcome is to be. But now
Speaker 2: this this woman interrupts Jesus and you're like, what that
Speaker 2: sounded disrespectful when you said it that way, Dave, Well,
Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. But this dude's daughter
Speaker 2: is about to die, and people are holding Jesus up.
Speaker 2: People are following him, yes, but there are people who
Speaker 2: are in the way too, and this woman is in
Speaker 2: the way. Well, it says that this certain woman she
Speaker 2: had an issue of blood for twelve years, and the
Speaker 2: bottom line of that story is that this woman is
Speaker 2: having female hemorrhaging issues. I didn't say monthly cycle issues.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the worst case scenario. From her female
Speaker 2: productive system for twelve years. Can you imagine what her
Speaker 2: iron levels are like. Can you imagine what her self
Speaker 2: esteem is like? Can you imagine the amount of pain
Speaker 2: that she is in. I don't know if it was
Speaker 2: ovarian cysts. I don't know if it was endometriosis. I
Speaker 2: don't know what was going on in her body that
Speaker 2: would have caused this to be happening. But she's hemorrhaging
Speaker 2: for twelve years, and she does everything right. She goes
Speaker 2: to the physicians, and the Bible says that when she
Speaker 2: goes to the physicians, she was worse off because of
Speaker 2: what the physicians did. Whatever they did made it worse.
Speaker 2: And then the Bible says that she knew that Jesus
Speaker 2: was passing by, and she would crawl through the crowd.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, crawl through the crowd. She's going through the crowd,
Speaker 2: and she says, if I can just touch the hem
Speaker 2: of his garment, I wish I had the time to
Speaker 2: deal with that hemn. But the Bible teaches us in
Speaker 2: the Book of Numbers, I think it's chapter thirteen, that
Speaker 2: every person of the Jew, every Jew, was to have
Speaker 2: a garment, and at the bottom of the garment was
Speaker 2: to be a riband of blue, and that ribband of
Speaker 2: blue or tassels of blue would represent the law of God.
Speaker 2: Did you know that the law of God was actually
Speaker 2: inscribed on blue or sapphire tables of stone by the
Speaker 2: finger of God, taken directly out of the throne of God.
Speaker 2: I wish I had the time. And so now she's
Speaker 2: reaching forth and she says, if I can just touch
Speaker 2: the hem of his garment, then I'll be made whole.
Speaker 2: And she did. She touched him, but like he's on
Speaker 2: his way to heal somebody else, she touched him, and
Speaker 2: she knew that her plague was healed. And Jesus, with
Speaker 2: all of those people brushing by Jesus even though he's
Speaker 2: on his way to heal Jirus's daughter, Jesus said, who
Speaker 2: touched me? And his disciples, who know everything all the time,
Speaker 2: were like, come on, Jesus, come on, you don't see
Speaker 2: all these people. What do you mean by who touched you?
Speaker 2: And Jesus is like, no, I'm not talking about casual brushers.
Speaker 2: By I'm not talking about people who bump into me. Oops.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about people who just want to take
Speaker 2: a photo with me like a selfie to say that
Speaker 2: they had seen Jesus. We're not talking about the people
Speaker 2: who are trying to focus and post videos from their
Speaker 2: phones to social media. We're not talking about that this
Speaker 2: somebody touched me, and that person drew upon the power
Speaker 2: that is deep in my core. Virtue has gone out
Speaker 2: from me. Of course. Now he turns around and he
Speaker 2: sees that this woman who for twelve long years had
Speaker 2: the worst ride of her life, but now everything has changed.
Speaker 2: He transforms her life in just a moment because she
Speaker 2: had faith in him. And then the Bible says, he said, daughter,
Speaker 2: thy faith hath made the whole go in peace, and
Speaker 2: behold of thy plague. And then next thing we find
Speaker 2: out this dude's daughter dies. Jyrus's daughter dies, and he said,
Speaker 2: don't worry about it, just believe. And then the Bible
Speaker 2: says that Jesus actually heals the daughter after she died,
Speaker 2: wakes her up, and now everybody knows the power of God.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
