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 --> 00:00:27,399
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, November nineteen,

11
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:41,200
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name Iselle David Harris. I

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,240
am your host, and this is your Daily Portion where

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,039
we give you God's Word every single day, and today

14
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:50,679
is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study

15
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:54,159
series themes in the Gospel of John, and our caption

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,799
for today is Old Testament Prophecies about Jesus Part one.

17
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:04,840
Old Testament Prophecies about Jesus Part one. We'll get into

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,359
that in just a moment, but first I'd like to

19
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,200
say welcome to you and ask you to please go

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,599
online community. I need you to click that number seven.

22
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,680
I said I needed one thousand people to subscribe, click

23
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:24,719
that number seven and join a new spiritual development community.

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,040
There's something very special there that is unlike what we

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,079
do here. Yes, related, but not the same. And I

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,200
want you to please tell us where you are in

27
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,120
the world. Fill out that little form where am I

28
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:37,840
in the world. We're still building our map because this

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,840
gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached into all the

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,319
world for a witness, and then and only then shall

31
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,959
the income. And it's encouraging to see that you're coming

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,599
in from all of these various cities, towns, villages, hamlets, countries, provinces,

33
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,799
parishes around the world. It is encouraging because now we

34
00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:00,200
know Jesus is on his way. He's on his way.

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Thank God. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

36
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,159
will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving

37
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,400
us this new day this morning that you have entrusted

38
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:12,360
to our care. Great is thy faithfulness. I pray now

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,240
that you will help us to not only see Jesus

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,080
in these Old Testament prophecies, but see ourselves with you,

41
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,840
with Jesus, with the Holy Ghost and Holy angels, and

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,960
with each other. In eternity in Jesus name, I pray

43
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:36,199
Amen and a men again the Old Testament prophecies about

44
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:40,680
Jesus Part one. Now, I want you to type in

45
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:44,439
the chat like an Old Testament prophecy, your favorite one.

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,319
You could put like what the text is. You could

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,039
say Isaiah fifty three if he wanted to, or something

48
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:54,840
else Micah chapter five, or something else, like what was

49
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,719
your favorite Old Testament prophecy that gives you hope in

50
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:03,319
thee these last days as we prepare for the coming

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,759
of the Lord. Type it in the chat. Type it

52
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,360
in the chat. Let's see. Let's see what you got there. Okay.

53
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:13,680
And so the question really is what major takeaway can

54
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:18,039
we get from today's lesson? Hopefully you would have already studied.

55
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,120
If not, this will get you started. But let me

56
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,719
just go to Jeremiah chapter twenty nine and verse eleven.

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,360
This is the takeaway that I have gleaned from this

58
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,000
lesson for today, and it reads, for I know what

59
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,479
I have planned for you. I'm reading from the New

60
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,039
English translation of the Bible. For I know this is

61
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:41,879
God speaking. What I have planned for you, says the Lord.

62
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,719
I have plans to prosper you not to harm you

63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,919
can I just say that and sometimes sometimes And I

64
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,800
was in church a couple of months ago in August

65
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,599
when somebody raised their hand. We were having Bible class,

66
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,840
and you know, he started to sort of thunder about

67
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,599
how we're not prepared, you know, the collective, we are

68
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,080
not prepared for the coming, and went to a Bible

69
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:11,520
passage in the Book of Amos about about preparing for

70
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,680
the coming in so many words, right, not so many words.

71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,600
But then he started to talk about behaviors, behaviors of

72
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,839
people who are believers, and he started to like really

73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,079
focus on behaviors, not relationship behaviors, not connection with God,

74
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:37,680
behaviors outward symptoms of reality that is in our hearts,

75
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,000
and not even start, not even touching how we can

76
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
get connected with God. And I'm like, oh, wait a minute.

77
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,920
Now God is here because he has he has, He

78
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:51,879
has plans for us, plans to prosper us in every way, spiritual,

79
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,560
in other ways, right, not to harm us. I have

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,439
plans to give you a future filled with hope, brothers

81
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,720
and sisters. When we are preparing for the coming of

82
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,319
the Lord, when we are looking back at the prophecies

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,079
that pointed forward to Messiah. We should think of the

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,879
mind set of God, which is I'm not here to

85
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,240
harm you. Think of the mindset of God that stops

86
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,279
at nothing to save us from our sins. Think of

87
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,759
the mindset of God that, even when he is chiding

88
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,759
us and correcting us, the purpose is to connect us

89
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,519
with him, connect us with his love, help us to

90
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,040
be in right relationship with Him, not just to tick

91
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:43,240
a box that says, Okay, you've accomplished this. Finally you

92
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:46,759
are holy enough to get into the kingdom. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

93
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,680
We miss something really really key here. If we miss

94
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:57,360
God's intention for us. He intends that we are prospered.

95
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,519
He intends that we are not harmed by him. He

96
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:06,720
intends to give us an expected and a future filled

97
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,160
with hope. This reassures us that if we remain connected

98
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,560
with God, then he will take care of all of

99
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,160
our character flaws, teach us how to live holy in

100
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,079
Christ Jesus, and then one day we will see him

101
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,160
face to face. I wish I had the time, but

102
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:27,720
let's read from the Book of Isaiah, chapter fourty and

103
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,519
verse three, and the Bible reads the voice of Him

104
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,319
that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of

105
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,920
the Lord, make straight in the desert, a highway for God.

106
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:42,160
And so we see that the Old Testament Bible writers showed,

107
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,360
I want to say, he foreshadowed when John would would

108
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,600
actually fulfill this where he is preparing the way for

109
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,120
Jesus Christ, so that when people saw Jesus coming, and

110
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:00,600
our brother John the Baptist pointed into right directly at

111
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Jesus and said, behold the Lamb of God which taketh

112
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,399
away the sins of the world. He was saying, when

113
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:11,240
you behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed

114
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,079
upon us that we should be called as children. He's

115
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,680
pointing at Jesus and saying, this is the antidote. You

116
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,120
have a sin problem, So do I. He is the

117
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,759
antidote you've been wondering how we're going to be saved.

118
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,319
He is the Savior. Behold the Lamb of God which

119
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,079
taketh away the sins of the world. The Savior became

120
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,720
our substitute so that we could be saved. And we

121
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,759
saw that in the Old Testament passage, and then fulfillment,

122
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:41,959
of course in Jesus's day and in Psalm chapter sixty

123
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,560
nine and verse nine, The Bible reads, for the zeal

124
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,839
of mine house thine house, excuse me, hath eaten me up?

125
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:52,160
And the reproaches of them that reproacheth thee are fallen

126
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,560
upon me. And so Jesus in the temple, as he

127
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,720
is cleansing the temple, while he was living on planet Earth,

128
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,600
he was showing that human beings sometimes get ahead of

129
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,959
our skis. Sometimes we start to focus on ourselves when

130
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,759
we are in God's presence. Sometimes we use holy things

131
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,600
in order to execute our own ends. And these people,

132
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,920
these wicked leaders, those individuals who were unrepentant, turned God's

133
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:26,680
house into a house of merchandise. And Jesus was filled

134
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,800
with the zeal of his father. He was filled with

135
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,879
zeal for holiness. And of course he went and had

136
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:35,399
to go deal with that, and of course get those

137
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,879
those guys up out of there, okay. And so Jeremiah

138
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,919
chapter two and verse three reads, for my people have

139
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,840
committed two evils. What are they? They have forsaken me

140
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,440
the fountain of living waters, hewn them out cisterns, broken,

141
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:53,879
cisterns that hold no water. If we are God's children

142
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:58,320
and we are, are you like maybe maybe I should

143
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559
ask the question. But if we are God's children, then

144
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,919
that means when if we are our cisterns that are

145
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:14,279
like God holding water, holding water of life. Having Jesus

146
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,039
abide in us, who is the water of life. And

147
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:19,799
as he said in John chapter seven and verse thirty eight,

148
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,879
if we believe in Him, out of our belly shall

149
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
flow rivers of living waters, rather than like hewing for

150
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,200
ourselves cisterns and trying to do things our own way

151
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,039
and having holes in ourselves so when the water comes in,

152
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,919
it just leaks out. We need to be receptive to

153
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
God and then let these waters flow out to other

154
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:44,799
people so they too can be seen.

155
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

156
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

157
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

158
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
