1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,320
and receive the power we need to live healthy.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,359
Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

10
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,119
Elle David Harris.

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Monday. It's

12
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,520

16
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,600
continuing in our final week of the Lesson study series

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,479
how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption for today

18
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:03,159
is a work of repentance. Pardon me, a work of repentance,

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,959
and to repent is to have godly sorrow for sin,

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,799
and to turn the shoulder go in the opposite direction

21
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:14,879
of that sin, directly into a right relationship with God.

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,879
Before we get into that, i'd like to just say

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,519

ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

35
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,799
go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,

36
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:02,680
we thank you for this day and for your the

37
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,200
privilege you've given us to open up your word and

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,319
to turn away from our sins. Please help us to

39
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,960
do that today and help other people, help other people

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,879
to get into right relationship with you, so that one

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,240
day we can all live together eternally in your presence

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,240
in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and amen again. A

43
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:27,520
work of repentance. Let me just say, repenting is good work.

44
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:32,039
It's good work, turning the shoulder, turning our backs on

45
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:36,919
our sins and our face toward the God who saved

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,120
us through Jesus Christ. It's a work, but it's a

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,879
good work. Now, just imagine having a conversation with God.

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,960
I want you to imagine having a conversation with God.

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,639
In fact, you should be having conversations with God. That's

50
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:55,479
called prayer. Praying is like speaking to God as to

51
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,240
a friend. But hold on for a moment. But just

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,000
imagine now if you were angry, And maybe you shouldn't

53
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:06,759
imagine that you're angry, but the concept is still there.

54
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:11,120
It applies. Imagine you're angry. You're angry with God. And

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,879
the worst thing you can say about God is that

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,000
he's good. God, I knew you would be good. Does

57
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,879
that sound crazy?

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Like?

59
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:21,719
Speaker 2: Does that sound ridiculous? Yeah?

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, that is the discussion that Jonah had with God.

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,159
He's in evangelist and prophet of the Most High God,

62
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,520
blessed be his name. And God told him that he

63
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,719
needed to preach a certain message to the people in

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Nineveh to give them an opportunity to repent, to turn

65
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:44,719
away from their sins, to receive by the Holy Ghost

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,400
godly sorrow for sin, and turn away from their sins.

67
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:52,800
And turn their faces toward God. He had that privilege

68
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,120
to teach, preach, and preach that message. But I told

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,240
you yesterday how that went. And of course or she

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,479
would have read it in the scriptures. But there came

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,719
a point when he did actually preach the message God

72
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,080
gave to him, and the people for that time, forget

73
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,319
the rest of the story for this moment, but for

74
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,439
that time, they actually did respond. They repented, they turned

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,040
away from those sins. Yes, they repented. And now the evangelist,

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,439
whose only purpose is to help people repent and get

77
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:26,600
close to God.

78
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,399
Speaker 2: He was upset with God. Well why was he upset

79
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:30,920
with God?

80
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: He was upset with God because God is good.

81
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:33,759
Speaker 2: God.

82
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,319
Speaker 3: I told you you wouldn't destroy them. Now they're gonna

83
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:38,800
see me as a false prophet. God, I knew that

84
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,040
you were going to make me look bad by causing

85
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800
these people to actually repent.

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,639
Speaker 2: Do you see how ridiculous that is? Can you imagine?

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,920
God gives you the word in season to help someone

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:58,079
to deliver themselves from foolishness, to deliver themselves from sin,

89
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,199
and as God gives you the ability to do so,

90
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:07,560
you're upset with God because he did so. Come on, man, Jonah,

91
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,399
what is your problem? Do you have more regard for

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,040
things that are not human beings than you do for

93
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,319
people whom Christ. Of course we wouldn't have used those

94
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,439
words back then, but ultimately Christ would have died to

95
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,720
save can you imagine? Well, that was Jonah's reality. But

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680
what we want now is to have a different mindset

97
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:36,199
toward repentance, a different mindset toward God. We want to

98
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,680
actually do what God says and be delighted when God

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,040
is merciful, Blessed be his name. He is the beneficent,

100
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,399
the merciful one, and we love that about him. And

101
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:50,519
so in Jonah, chapter three and verse ten, the Bible says,

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040
and God saw their works, that is the people that

103
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:57,639
God sent Jonah to preach to, that they turned from

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,480
their evil way, and God repented of the evil. That

105
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,639
means he said, I'm not going to destroy them. I'm

106
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,720
not going to destroy them. This is what happened. And

107
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:10,759
so the lesson here is that God God's warnings always

108
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,279
invite repentance. God is not just saying I'm warning you.

109
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:16,720
I'm warning you like some people on the road, how

110
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:21,480
warn you, I'm warning you. What God is saying is

111
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,439
I'm giving you the opportunity to amend your ways. I'm

112
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,959
giving you the opportunity to listen to me. I'm giving

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,920
you the opportunity to accept my love and stop pushing

114
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,120
me away and rejecting me. I'm giving you the opportunity

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,560
to live godly. Here is your opportunity. And so his

116
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:47,560
warnings always invite us to repentance. When people respond judgment

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,040
or I should say condemnation, condemnation can be delayed or

118
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,199
completely averted. That is the desired outcome that God's mercy

119
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,360
will loom heavy over us. And if He, because He's merciful,

120
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:07,639
gives us the opportunity to repent, then we can repent

121
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:15,000
and of course avert the worst possible outcome, separation from God.

122
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:19,079
And so we want to keep a repentant heart. I said,

123
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,519
keep a repentant heart. Don't throw it away, don't put

124
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:24,360
it in the closet, don't put it under your bed,

125
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:26,720
don't put it in the trunk of your car. I'm

126
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:30,720
talking about I want you to embrace and hug and

127
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,600
nurture a repentant heart, a repentant spirit, the kind that says,

128
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,399
as soon as you are aware that there is a

129
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,360
path that you're taking that's different than the path God

130
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,480
wants you on. That through the Holy Ghost you sense

131
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,560
the sorrow for your where you're going, and then are

132
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:55,759
immediately ready, willing and available to turn the shoulder and

133
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,639
make confession a part of your daily walk, saying exactly

134
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,439
what is what the situation is with God? Agree with

135
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,279
God about whatever it is that you're talking about you're

136
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,920
dealing with, and then turn the shoulder, turn away from

137
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,439
the sin so that you can remain aligned with God's mercy.

138
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,079
Of course, we see, as I have said multiple days

139
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:23,000
in a row in Revelation chapter eighteen, a call to repentance.

140
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,600
But this call goes global. This call goes global, and

141
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:31,439
it goes to the people who say that we love God,

142
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,200
but somehow had gotten mixed up in confusing ways of

143
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,559
connecting with Him, false types of worship, false connections with God,

144
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:46,240
and other things that set themselves up as idols in

145
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,720
place of God, and turning our backs on the seventh

146
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:54,799
day Sabbath that the Bible talks about all throughout scriptures. Yes,

147
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,360
and now we are willing to keep covenant with God.

148
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:01,159
That repentance, that call to repentance goes out to the

149
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,480
world and like Nineveh end time, Babylon receives a final call,

150
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:11,120
a final call to repentance before condemnation falls, and so

151
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:17,120
be part of sharing these messages, these messages while time

152
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:22,360
still remains. Someone's deliverance may depend on your obedience. Are

153
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,559
you a Jonah, Are you running away from the call

154
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,960
to help someone get connected with God because you care

155
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,919
about what people think of you? Or are you a

156
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:34,320
faithful person, someone who is willing to do whatever it

157
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:38,919
takes to teach the world that Jesus is indeed coming soon,

158
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,519
but he's coming back for a people who are willing

159
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,919
to repent and turn toward God. Make it a great day.

160
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

162
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

163
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
