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
00:00:15,199 --> 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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,159
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, February nine,

11
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,000

today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:57,359
study series uniting Heaven and Earth, christ in Philippians and Colossians,

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,479
and our caption is stand Fast in the Lord, Stand

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,280
Fast in the Lord. Before we get into that, I'd

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,519
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

29
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:52,079
Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,280
we thank you for this day. Teach us to stand

31
00:01:55,359 --> 00:02:00,439
fast in You, not waiver, not shake, not backslide, but

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,239
stand fast in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,919
again we're standing fast in the Lord. Now let's go

34
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:16,000
into the Bible Book of Philippians Philippians chapter three, and

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,080
I will read Versus twenty and twenty one. Philippians, Chapter three,

36
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:25,360
Versus twenty and twenty one. And I think I said

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,599
to you the other day when we talk about citizenship

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,840
in heaven, what it is is that we are contrasting.

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,199
We're contrasting the current earth that is full of sin

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,159
and heavenly places, meaning wherever the presence of God is,

41
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:47,759
wherever God is. It doesn't mean a geographical location where

42
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,400
we are in heaven, where the throne of God is

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,960
currently because again, let me just say for a refresher

44
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,800
that when Jesus does come, he's coming soon. We don't

45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,919
know when he's coming. But when Jesus does come soon,

46
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:05,599
he's going to take all of his people to stay

47
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:10,000
in heaven for one thousand years. And according to Revelation

48
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,400
chapter twenty and twenty one and Matthew chapter five, after

49
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:21,080
the thousand years are finished and then God cleanses the earth, yes,

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800
we will receive as a gift, like Jesus said, a

51
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,039
fulfillment of the promise. The meek will inherit the new earth. Okay.

52
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,039
And so we're talking about heavenly places in the sense

53
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400
of being in the presence of God. And so we're

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,120
citizens of the presence of God, and so the Bible

55
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:45,000
reads in verse twenty of Philippians chapter three. But our

56
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,960
citizenship is in heaven, and we also eagerly await a

57
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:55,280
savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you looking

58
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,360
forward to the day? Are you eagerly? What did he say?

59
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:02,599
Eagerly awaiting him? He said in another place that to

60
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,360
those who look for him, he will appear a second

61
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:10,759
time without sin unto salvation. We're going to the place

62
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,360
wherein dwelleth righteousness. I'm looking forward to that day Verse

63
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,079
twenty one. Who will transform these humble bodies. In the

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,920
King James version, it says vile bodies. What does vile mean?

65
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,399
Vile means humiliation, made of a low estate, spiritually abased.

66
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,600
So these bodies that degrade and break down, these bodies

67
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,120
like me, even though I am strong, I'm in my fifties,

68
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:42,680
and when I get up, I have to determine if

69
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,920
I really meet it, because sometimes little aches and pains

70
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,959
from my exercise regimen do tell me. Like brother, you

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,519
are not in your twenties anymore. These vile bodies, these

72
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,240
humble bodies of ours, into the likeness of His glorious

73
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,480
body by means of that power which He is able

74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,759
to subject all things to himself. And so we are

75
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,800
looking forward to the day when we will be transformed fully,

76
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:14,439
not just by the renewing of our minds. This is

77
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,439
to be happening right now, brothers and sisters, while we

78
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,720
are on this broadcast. God is renewing your mind if

79
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,759
you are submitting to him mind too, right. But what

80
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,519
we're talking about is one day being able to see

81
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,000
him face to face. And the only way that will

82
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,680
happen is if, as we are being renewed by God,

83
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:39,639
that when Jesus comes back in a moment, in a

84
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,199
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump of God,

85
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,160
he will give us new bodies. This mortal will put

86
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:54,079
on immortality, not before this broken down body will put

87
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:58,720
on the glorious body that Jesus now possesses. Okay, and

88
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,639
so I'm looking forward to that day. In the meantime,

89
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,920
stand fast lesson Number one is Heaven is the believer's

90
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:10,800
true homeland. And of course I'm still speaking of heavenly places.

91
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,839
The presence of God and our identity is anchored in

92
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,759
Christ and not in earthly systems or desires. Those things

93
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,720
that people are fighting for on social media, the attention

94
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,240
that people want to garner in order to get their

95
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,439
come up in air quotes. Look that up. It's a colloquialism.

96
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Look it up in an urban dictionary to try to

97
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,839
get their come up. Yeah, all of that stuff is

98
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,600
going to burn up. I'm just saying everything that we

99
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,040
aspire to on planet Earth is going to be destroyed.

100
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,439
It is going to stop, it will end, it will

101
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,040
burn up. But we're looking forward to the day that

102
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,120
we are in God's presence, and therefore therefore we need

103
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,240
to list three areas of our lives where earthly priorities compete.

104
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,560
Talking about teach art style, earthly heavenly right, these three

105
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,399
areas where potentially earthly priorities compete with heavenly identity, and

106
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:17,519
then intentionally realign one of them today. If you can

107
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,519
get to all three, do it today, yep. Is that

108
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,879
there is time. Your time. You're not if you have

109
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,519
a family, you're not having worship with your family morning

110
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,040
and evening, you're not going to God in prayer and

111
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:35,000
whatever else you would do in a worshipful experience. Well

112
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:38,360
align that. Now make it today, like today is the

113
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:41,319
day that you go with your family to God in prayer,

114
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,639
et cetera. And then move into the things that the

115
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,120
world would say, like you got to work, you have

116
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,000
to go to school, you have to do whatever it

117
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,839
is that you do in order to make it a

118
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,360
decent life on planet Earth. Lesson number two, the glorified

119
00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:04,160
state is literal. It's it is not symbolic. God will

120
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:11,600
transform our decaying bodies to match Christ's glorious resurrected body.

121
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,079
In the Bible Book of Job, chapter nineteen, verses twenty

122
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,759
five through twenty seven, the Bible reads, for I know

123
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:24,439
that my Redeemer liveth This is Job speaking. And though

124
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,720
after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my

125
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:38,440
flesh I shall see God. I shall see God. So

126
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,240
much to say, no time I wanted to go down

127
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,559
through one, two, three, four, five, these passages, these passages

128
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,320
that the lesson writer identified. Uh, and let me see

129
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,759
what I can do with those in the middle of

130
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,519
the lesson where it says, how do the following passages

131
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:59,960
describe the glorified state? Let me just be very quick.

132
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,879
The one in Job that we just read, we see

133
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,360
that that resurrection is bodily identity is preserved because in

134
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,480
my flesh and with my eyes I'll experience God, of course, glorified.

135
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:21,480
The believer will see God physically, per personally and consciously. Yes.

136
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,679
And the one in Luke we experience God. We see

137
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:33,399
that Jesus's glorified body was real, physical, touchable, recognizable, and

138
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,799
yet transformed. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have to come

139
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,440
back to this, but I'm looking forward to the day

140
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360
that we see him. And until then we need to

141
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,360
stand fast in the Lord Gays listening.

142
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,159
Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but

143
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,720
by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

144
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,399
This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.

145
00:09:57,039 --> 00:10:00,279
Make it a great day. Yeah,
