Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host
author speaker Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath. It
is May seventeen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
your Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every
single day and today is no exception. We are continuing
in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
and our caption caption for today is in the Psalms.
In the Psalms Part one. Before we get into this,
I'd like to just say welcome to you and ask
you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
Please join our online community. Also, let us know where
you are in the world. Where you are in the world,
and This is one of the ways that we continue
to build faith and fellowship. My mind just like what
click click click click click Before I pray, though, I
just want to say, like I'm preparing now for next Sabbath.
If the Lord Spaar's life to be at Campverley with you,
if you're in Jamaica and you are connecting with the
communicators in Central Jamaica Conference, I'm gonna be there and
we're going to cover this lesson in a way that
we don't cover it here in our broadcast. Okay, So
let's just go ahead and pray and then we will
get underway. Father, we do thank you for giving us
the opportunity to open up your word today. Thank you
for giving us the fullness of your Holy Spirit. Please
teach us to serve you, teach us to love you
with everything that we are. And Father, please help us
to see how the Bible is all working together under
your spirit to teach us how to live for you.
In Jesus name, I pray Amen and Amen again. I
think my brain is in gear and my brain is
in gear, Thank you God. Okay, so let's go ahead
and begin with Revelation chapter fourteen, and I will read.
I will read verse one Revelation chapter fourteen, and I
will read verse one, and the Bible reads, then I
looked and behold a lamb standing on Mount Zion. Of course,
the lamb is Jesus Christ in symbol, and with him
one hundred and forty and four thousand. I'll come back
to that having his father's name written on their foreheads.
So this morning, I'd like for you to just do
me a favor. Don't get mixed up and start focusing
on the wrong thing. The focus here is is not
the one hundred and forty four thousand, per se, But
we need to focus on the fact that they have
his father's name written on their foreheads. You know, the
Bible does teach us whether the one hundred and forty
four thousand or others who are saved, all of us
have His name written in His name written in our foreheads.
So don't get caught up on the detail there and
start having arguments about this. We need to focus on
the right thing this time. Focus on the right thing.
So what's the question. What's the question now that I've
said all of that, well, what does it mean to
have God's name written in or on our foreheads. Now,
the Bible teaches us that we are marked as his
own when His name is written on our foreheads. We're
God's people, just like in the Western culture. My wife
has my last name or my surname. She is now
Harris Knie are born or used to be our Boring.
Her maiden name was our Boing. But now that we
are married, my name is on her life and our marriage.
We represent Christ in our marriage. And so Jesus showed me,
He showed all husbands that we're to love our wives
even as Christ love the Church. So I am honored
that she would be willing to take my name. So
I need to represent Christ so she doesn't regret having
my name. You see where this is going. And so
and so we also see that God wants our mind
and character aligned. Okay, our mind and character needs to
be aligned. Why because we have the name of God
as our reward. Here it is and he chapter ten
and verse sixteen. I will put my laws into their
hearts and in their minds. I will write them, yes,
in their minds, in their hearts, that's the new covenant.
I will write them. And so when God's law of love,
God's Holy ten commandments, law of love is written in
our lives. Then we are a safe place. We're a
safe place. God has made us a safe place so
that we can have His name inscribed in our very consciousness.
God's not walking around with an inkhorn and a pen.
He's not walking around with some kind of computer generated label.
He is literally inscribing his character in our mindset. I
think the Bible says that Adam and Eve were created
in the image of God. In the image of God
created he him, male and female, created He them, and
after his likeness. You see, this is what he's doing again.
And of course the loyalty is sealed into our lives.
The Bible reads and two Timothy, chapter two and verse nineteen. However,
God's solid foundation remains standing bearing witness this seal. The
Lord knows those who are his. Do you remember that
one passover? That one passover, as God's people were being
delivered from captivity, he said that he was going to
have the death Angel come in and destroy the first
born of God's enemies. In that scenario, and he said,
anybody who goes into your homes and uses the blood
of the lamb to strike over the door post and
the lintel to be covered in that space, that tabernacle,
covered by the blood of the Lamb. Then the Angel
will pass over that place, because by faith they belie
leave in the sacrifice. Now we know it was of
Jesus Christ. They didn't understand all of the symbolism, but
they said, let me surrender my will to God and
do what he says. And God had the death Angel
pass over so that the people covered by the blood
of the Lamb were safe. They were safe. Now God
knows whose his are whose are his? Those who by
faith are covered by the blood of the Lamb will
be passed over when destruction comes, and only eternal life
in this case will come as a result. It's his
name written in your forehead, on your forehead. Revelation, chapter
seven and verse three, the Bible says, hurt not the earth.
This is the command to the angel in the last
of the last of the end of time. Hurt not
the earth, neither the sea nor the trees, till I
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads
at the appropriate time. And we are really sitting on
top of that time where where you know he's going
to hold He's going to remove that hold of strife.
He's going to remove that restriction on the angel. And then,
you know, people who have chosen to serve the enemy
and not repent, the people who are not responsive to love,
those individuals will finally get what they desire. And the
people and the people who have chosen to serve God,
the people who are subjecting our will to God, who
say yes, thank you God for loving me and giving
me the privilege of eternal life. Thank you God, I
do respect and love you, and I will help other
people do the same. Those individuals will be sealed in
their foreheads, their consciousness. And if you go back to
Exodus chapter thirteen, I believe it is you see that
in the forehead and in the hand, God's people were marked.
I know what I just said. I hope you you
know what the Bible says. Do not get confused with
these words. They were sealed in their hands. They were
marked in their hands and their foreheads, in their consciousness.
They agreed with God. In their action, they agreed with God.
I know what I just said. Go back to the Bible.
It's right there for our learning. So we who are
God's people will ultimately have God's name all that represents God,
all that makes him holy, all that makes him so
loving and so kind, will be completely emblazoned upon our
consciousness and in all of our actions. And I thank
God that He's giving us the privilege to have that
experience beginning right now, may get a great day. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
