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 --> 00:00:33,039

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Friday. It

11
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:40,000
is July fourth, in twenty twenty five. Hello, my name

12
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,600
is El David Harris. I am your host. Den This

13
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:45,520
is your Daily Portion where we give you God's word

14
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:49,119
every single day, and today is no exception. We are

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,640
continuing in our lesson study series Exodus Journey to the

16
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,759
Promised Land. I'm still remembering it because of course we

17
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:03,679
had thirteen weeks of another topic, right, So our caption

18
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:08,560
for today is God over rules Satans plans. God over

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,280
rules Satan's plans. We'll get into that in just a moment,

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,879
but first i'd like to say welcome to you and

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,439
ask you to go over to your Daily portion dot com.

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,799
Please join our online community. Please pick up the Your

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,959

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.

25
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:31,519
This is one of the ways that we continue to

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,519
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

27
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:38,840
then we will get underway. Father, we thank you for

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,439
this day of preparation. Help us to prepare our hearts

29
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,239
and our minds to serve you and to see Jesus

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,319
when you come, when he comes. In Jesus' name, I

31
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:54,040
pray Amen and Amen again. Okay. So God has a

32
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,959
way of disrupting and dismantling the plans of our enemy,

33
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,000
of our enemy when we were born, God had plans

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,439
for us. I know we talked about change of plans yesterday,

35
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,759
and I told you that my notes vanished out of

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,080
my app and I'm not even I did not reconstruct them.

37
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,560
Let me just say that I wanted to, but I

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
said no, I'm going to just trust God's plan. I'm

39
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,400
going to trust God's purposes and we're going to just

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,719
move forward. We're not going backwards. So I can create

41
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:31,039
a crutch. And so God overrules the devil's plans. The

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,039
devil had plans for you. The devil has plans for

43
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:39,719
me in my case, disrupt my thought process, disrupt my mind,

44
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,879
get me off kilter because I like things to be

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,400
just so, but they're gone. But if we look at

46
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:52,840
what God has for us, then we know that that

47
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,800
has always been the true plan, and whatever the enemy

48
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:01,240
is introduced is a counterfeit. Now go here. The beginning

49
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:05,159
of the Lesson for Today says the Biblical text states

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,000
that the midwives feared God and did not do as

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,479
the king had commanded them, but they saved the male

52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,960
children alive. I just want to say thank God for

53
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:24,120
the women of God. I said, thank God for the

54
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,879
women of God around the world in all ages. Can

55
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,039
you imagine what if these women did not fear God

56
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:35,000
and they destroyed all the babies, including Moses. What would

57
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:39,360
the story be today? What if? What if Abigail did

58
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,319
not do what God called her to do? What if Mary,

59
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:46,000
the mother of Jesus, did not do what God told

60
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,439
her to do? What if she did not fear God?

61
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,840
What if Mary Magdalene did not fear God, especially after

62
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Jesus was resurrected, after Jesus took up his life again,

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,479
that's the better way of saying it, What would have

64
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:03,240
happened to her evangelistic efforts at that moment the first

65
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,879
evangelist post the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What if that

66
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,680
woman of God, who loved God must much had not

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,800
done what God called her to do? What if esther?

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,279
What if Ruth? What if all of these women of

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,240
God throughout history would have turned their backs on God?

70
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,199
Where would we be today, Rahab? What if she after

71
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,279
she had learned how to connect with God and trust him?

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,480
What if she had turned her back on God? Do

73
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,879
I need to continue? And so I just want to

74
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,560
say a great, big God bless you to the women

75
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:42,120
of God in this world. That people sometimes subjugate, Sometimes

76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,720
people disrespect and malign. Sometimes misogynistic mindsets want to keep

77
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,560
you in your place. But God is saying that there

78
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,199
were godly women during Moses's day who feared God and

79
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,800
did not do what the king said. They did what

80
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:02,800
the King of kings said. Oh, I think somebody just

81
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,240
got it. They did not do what the worldly king said,

82
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:12,639
but they did with the King of Kings said and commanded.

83
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,600
And so orders were issued to the women whose employment

84
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:20,879
gave them the opportunity for executing the command to destroy

85
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,199
the children that were of the women of God. Right

86
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,319
Satin was the mover in this matter. He knew that

87
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:34,000
a deliverer was to be raised up among the people

88
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,879
of God, and by leading the king to destroy their children,

89
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,759
he hoped to defeat the divine purpose. But the women

90
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,879
feared God and dared not execute the cruel mandate. There

91
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:53,000
are times you have to stand up against cruel mandates. Oh,

92
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,360
I just don't have the time. The Lord approved their

93
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,879
course and he prospered them. There were some important women

94
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279
that I left out of my discourse a moment ago.

95
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:06,800
It was in my notes that are now gone. Yes,

96
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,959
I'm going to keep talking about that because God has

97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,519
a way of changing our plans. But I did not

98
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,079
neglected to talk about Pharaoh's daughter. What if she hadn't

99
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,199
done what God led her to do. I don't know

100
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,360
if she knew it was God or not. What if

101
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,480
Moses's mommy, What if Moses's sister had not done what

102
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,360
God said that they must do? And I want to

103
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,879
say thank God for godly women again. Now let's get

104
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,120
some lessons, some more lessons out of this. And so

105
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,360
I'm going first to let's go with Exodus chapter three

106
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,399
and verse seven, and the Lord said, I have surely

107
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,879
seen the affliction of my people, and I have heard

108
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,759
their cry. This is now as Moses has been led

109
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:55,360
to do his work, right, has led to do his work,

110
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,759
and it says here, I've heard their cry and heard

111
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:04,800
their or know their sorrows. God is not distant. He's

112
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:11,360
intimately aware of every pain and injustice. He's not distant.

113
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:13,360
This is why the midwives were led to do what

114
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,439
they did. He's not distant. This is why as he

115
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,160
was preparing Moses first forty years, second forty years. Now

116
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,600
it's time to really work. As God is hearing the

117
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,319
sorrows and remembering his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

118
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,959
He says, now is the time, and it's time to

119
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,759
deliver my people. So the action for it this moment

120
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,920
is to trust that your cries. God has not ignored them.

121
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:44,399
He hears you. Keep praying even when deliverance seems delayed.

122
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,439
Keep on praying, even when your deliverance seems I said,

123
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,560
seems delayed. Our second lesson comes from Exodus chapter three

124
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:57,040
and verse eight. The Bible reads, I am come down

125
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,160
now to deliver them and to bring them up out

126
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,240
onto a land flowing with milk and honey. Jesus is

127
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,959
coming down. I think when he was born on planet Earth.

128
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,240
They said that the Angel said his name will be

129
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,600
called Emmanuel, that meaning God with us. He came down.

130
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,279
He's coming down. God is coming down back in Exodus

131
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:24,600
to deliver the people of God and bring them out

132
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,319
out of the land of Egypt into the Promised Land.

133
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,879
So God initiates deliverance with purpose and a destination in mind.

134
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:34,879
He's not like, I don't know what we're gonna do. Now,

135
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,879
let me think about this. He is he has already

136
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,000
I wouldn't say strategized, but he has already decided and

137
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,240
determined because he's he doesn't need to strategize. He just says,

138
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,840
and it is done. And he said, this is the

139
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840
way we're gonna go. This is the pathway that it

140
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:53,679
will take to get there. And so God doesn't just

141
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,320
bring us out of something, but he brings us in

142
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:05,960
to something greater. So don't settle for just survival. As

143
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600
Et says, he says that he wants that God wants

144
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,679
to bring us into thrival. Shout to the to the

145
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:17,159
hip hop preacher Eric Thomas he brings us into thrival,

146
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,840
not just what he's leading you away from, but what

147
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,480
he's leading you into. Now, let me just say in

148
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,799
Moses's case, as we close here, Yeah, delayed obedience is disobedience.

149
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:36,840
But in this case God was kind and merciful to Moses.

150
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,960
And even though Moses hesitated, he gave excuses. God used

151
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:45,159
him for his glory. No excuses, use for his glory.

152
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,039
Speaker 1: Joining us listening, friends, always remember we cannot live by

153
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,919
bread alone, but by every word that comes from the

154
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,320
mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with

155
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,279
el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
