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 --> 00:00:15,039
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 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,719
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Sabbath. It's

11
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,719
July twenty six, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is

single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,960
in our Lesson study series with lesson number five through

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,679
the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today is Passover.

17
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:00,439
Pass Over. We'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:02,560
but before we do, I like to say welcome to

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,879

at your Daily Portion dot com this is one of

23
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:20,200
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

24
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:24,079
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,

25
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:27,480
we thank you for this day. Thank you for loving

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,200
us enough to give us the antidote for sin. Thank

27
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,920
you for loving us enough to bring us into your fold,

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,959
into your community, into your heart, into fellowship with you

29
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,560
and other people who also love you. Please please help

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,599
us to get the full benefit and be covered under

31
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:52,280
the blood. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen

32
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,640
again passover. Now. Of course I'm thinking about a song

33
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:01,439
pass me not o, gentle Savior, here my humble cry,

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,640
while on others thou art calling please please do not

35
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:09,000
pass me by. And so today that is not that

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,759
is not the context that we have this time. We

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,919
want God to pass us over, uh he. We want

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,400
him to pass us over when when when condemnation is afoot,

39
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:27,520
We want him to pass us over, when destruction is afoot.

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,080
We want God to pass us over like pass over us,

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,680
like skip us. We want we want to be in

42
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,159
under the banner of safety, under the blood of Jesus Christ.

43
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,080
And when when these judgments are being meeted out upon

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,159
the earth for people who hated love for people who

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,479
decided that God is not good enough to be in

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,639
a relationship with When when those judgments are meeted out,

47
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
we want God to pass us over. He wants we

48
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,360
want him to see us as protected and not those

49
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,360
who need to be unfortunately destroyed. It is what it

50
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:09,599
is like. The reality is that some people would rather

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,439
be destroyed than to be in a good relationship with

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,400
God submitting to his will. But before I go too

53
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:17,919
far into that, let me just go ahead and jump

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,039
in and let's get some lessons. Let's get some lessons.

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,919
We'll talk about passover some more a few days in

56
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,879
the future if the Lord spaars life. Okay, So our

57
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:33,520
first lesson is coming in from Exodus chapter twenty Exodus

58
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,879
chapter twelve, verses twenty six and twenty seven. And I

59
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,000
will read it. I will read it for you, and

60
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:43,719
it shall come to pass when your children shall say,

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,719
unto you, what mean ye by this service? So we

62
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,280
know now that we are now commemorating the passover time

63
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:55,400
with a service that ye shall say it is the

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,840
sacrifice of the Lord's passover. So when God gives you

65
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:03,400
a word, honor it in obedience. So how am I

66
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,759
supposed to show my children this. Here's a word for you,

67
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:10,280
honor that. How am I supposed to experience you through

68
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,879
my marriage? Here is a word, honor that. How am

69
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,840
I supposed to have the secrets to success in my

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800
business or my professional life? Here is a word, live

71
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:23,199
by it. How am I supposed to amend my ways? God,

72
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,519
where my relationship with you is concerned. I've made so

73
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,480
many mistakes, even after I've promised to do what you say.

74
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Here is a word I want you to honor that

75
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,439
with obedience. And so God's people had the privilege. They

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,759
had the privilege even though they were stiff necked, even

77
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,680
though they murmured against God, even though there are so

78
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,920
many things that God really literally could have destroyed them for.

79
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,360
But he said, because I made a promise to Abraham,

80
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,920
Isaac and Jacob. I promised them that I would take

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,319
my people into the land of promise. Yeah, I we

82
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,920
had the time to deal with that. But let me

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,079
just pause right there. I'm going to have compassion on

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,480
them and when it's now time to deliver them from

85
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Egyptian captivity. And I have already meeted out my judgments

86
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,560
in the form of nine plagues. This final one is

87
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,720
going to be the death knew this is the final

88
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,800
one because the pharaoh and people who were who were

89
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,040
sympathetic toward that particular pharaoh, they chose not to love love,

90
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:34,639
they chose not to repent no matter what I did,

91
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,720
God speaking, And therefore it's time for the final thrust.

92
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,639
And here is the final thrust. The death Angel is

93
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,519
going to come through and do a lot of damage

94
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:50,040
to the people who have chosen unrepentant. And so this

95
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,000
is what you need to do. You need to go

96
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:56,120
into your houses. You need to get the blood of

97
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,040
the prescribed innocent animal, and I need you to apply

98
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,439
that blood over the lintel and the door posts a

99
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,639
certain way. He gave them the specific method to show

100
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,600
that they would rather be in relationship with God than

101
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:17,120
to continue to murmur, to continue to turn their backs

102
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,720
on Him, to continue to harden their hearts, to continue

103
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:25,079
to worship false gods. They would rather be in communion

104
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,079
with God. I know what I just said. There, communion

105
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,800
with God, then to continue along the pathway that they

106
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,160
were already on. And so the people of God and

107
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,519
some Egyptians went into the homes did exactly what God said,

108
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:45,399
and they were safe on that fate full night. And

109
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,560
so when God gives you a word, honor it in obedience.

110
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,759
Teach the next generation what His mercy saved you from.

111
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,680
The second lesson from Exodus, chapter eleven and verse five,

112
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,519
and it reads in all the first born in the

113
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,480
land of Egypt unfortunately, I say unfortunately because they did

114
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:08,399
not need to have that happen to them. But at

115
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:11,639
this moment, it was the choice they made. They will die.

116
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:14,439
Careful who your leaders are. That's not even the lesson,

117
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,199
This is a bonus. Careful who you align yourself with

118
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:23,639
and allie yourself with, because sometimes the leaders will guide

119
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,120
you to destruction. Sometimes your leaders are leaders will guide

120
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,759
us toward destruction. Be careful who you choose as your leader.

121
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:39,720
But here is the actual lesson. One person's disobedience can

122
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:47,519
cause national tragedy. I said, one person's disobedience can cause

123
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,199
or create national tragedy. So what is the action step

124
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:55,800
if you're in a leadership role. Now we're not looking

125
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,439
out work, We're looking at ourselves in the home, in

126
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,720
the church, or workplace. Take your obedience to God seriously.

127
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,759
Lives may hang in the balance, they may be weighed

128
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,720
in the balance based on somewhat your leadership. Number three

129
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,720
and final, we're going into the Bible Book of Philippians,

130
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:19,839
chapter two, in verse thirteen. Ah. Yes, for it is

131
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,959
God which worketh in you, both to will and to

132
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:26,279
do of his good pleasure. Work out your own salvation

133
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,160
with fear and trembling. And by the way, God is

134
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,000
not leaving you alone. He's not leaving you alone. He's

135
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:37,000
giving you the power of His Holy Spirit to desire

136
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,399
to do the right thing and then actually live out

137
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,360
the right pathway, the right steps, the right strategy, the

138
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,440
right tactics, the right behaviors. And of course he's transforming

139
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:52,879
our minds in the right way, both to will and

140
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960
to do of his good pleasure. And here is the step,

141
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:02,120
when the pressure is high and the consequences are real, lean,

142
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,720
I said, lean, lean on God's strength to do what

143
00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:13,159
you cannot do alone, what you cannot do by yourself.

144
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,360
When everything seems the car the deck seems to be

145
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,360
stocked against you, you seem to be on the losing side.

146
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,480
In the moment, your mind and or emotions have gone

147
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:28,480
down a slope and you're like, God, what am I

148
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:31,759
supposed to do? Yeah, that's the moment that you lean

149
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,360
on God for his strength to do what only God

150
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,320
can help you to do. Yeah, Passover. We'll talk about

151
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,960
it some more in the next few days. Make it

152
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,840
a great day. Peace.

153
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

154
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

155
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

156
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
