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 Elle David Harris. 10 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning.

This is one of 24 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,159 the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,120 Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,239 Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this day. 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,159 Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,200 giving us the opportunity to pray. And I ask you 29 00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,680 to please draw us into your presence, help us to 30 00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,719 see all of the miracles that you did as a 31 00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:44,959 facility for us to worship you and to be transformed 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,920 by you miraculously and to live according to all of 33 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:52,439 your principles in these last days. In Jesus name, I pray, 34 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,120 Amen and Amen again the second Sign in Galilee. Okay, 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280 and so now we're going to read from the Bible 36 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:05,159 book of John chapter four. John. Yes, John chapter four, 37 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,719 and I will read beginning at verse forty six. John 38 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,759 chapter four and I will read beginning at verse forty six. 39 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,759 Let's see what God has to say. So Jesus came 40 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,800 again to cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine. 41 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:24,240 So we now know that in that same place there 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,360 are people who are well aware, not just from reading 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,680 the prophecies. If there were a few people who had 44 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,879 done that. But people are well aware because Jesus manifests 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,800 the glory of God to people, so they can believe, 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,800 this is what we learned yesterday, right, And so he 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,080 manifests through this miracle and his compassion and the symbolism 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,319 in that transformation from water into unfermented wine something special. 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,919 So now he's in the place where people are primed 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,120 and ready ready to see more, okay, experience more. So 51 00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,759 he came to cana of Galilee where he made the 52 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:07,360 water into wine. And there was a certain noblemen whose 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,960 son was sick at Copernium. When he heard that Jesus 54 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,199 was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to 55 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,639 him and he besought him that he would come down 56 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,639 and heal his son. Why because he was at the 57 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,439 point of death. What happens when you are experiencing sickness? 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,879 What do you do? What happens when someone who is 59 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560 very close to you is very sick? Who do you 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,719 go to? Who do you beseech? Who do you pray to? 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Who do you ask for a miracle? Well, hopefully you 62 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960 do what this man is about to do. Verse forty eight. 63 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Then said Jesus unto him, except GC signs and wonders, 64 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:57,719 you will not believe. And the man, the nobleman said, 65 00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:01,159 unto him, sir, come down ere, my child die. And 66 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Jesus saith unto him, go thy way, thy son liveth 67 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:10,159 So the man is desperate. Jesus checks him. He checks 68 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,840 him for what he knows is in the man the 69 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:17,240 nobleman's heart, and he says, please, but Jesus, I hear 70 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,720 what you're saying. But my son really needs you. Can 71 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:24,319 you come and heal him? And Jesus says, all right, 72 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680 So this is what I need you to do. Go 73 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,920 ahead where you came from. Your son lives. And the 74 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,040 man believed the word I want you to type in 75 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,680 the chat. Believe the word, believe the word. The man 76 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,639 believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and 77 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,120 he went his way. You see, when Jesus sends you 78 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,360 on a mission, when Jesus gives you, he gives us instructions. 79 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,879 Do we believe him When he says, go and sin 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480 no more? Do we believe that we can go and 81 00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:01,360 send no more? Or when he says, take up your 82 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,639 bed and walk, do we believe that, by God's grace 83 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,120 we can take up our bed and walk. We were paralyzed, 84 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,360 we were sick, we were somehow afflicted with some other challenge. 85 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,879 And Jesus says, this is what I need you to do. 86 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:18,800 Do we believe his word and then go and do 87 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,120 what he says. You see, the man went on his way, 88 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,480 and he went on his way, and you know it's 89 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,319 very interesting. What's interesting verse fifty one. And when he 90 00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,759 was now going down, his servants met him. You see, 91 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:36,759 the servants are amazed by God, and likely they are 92 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,360 also surprised, like something special just happened. Does something special 93 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,720 happen when you speak to God and then He responds 94 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,399 to you? You see, the Bible says, this is the 95 00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,439 confidence that we have in him that if we ask 96 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,720 anything according to his will, then he hears us. And 97 00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,120 we know that if he hears us, we have the 98 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,439 petitions we desire of him. And so we want to 99 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,360 be in alignment with God's will, not just to get 100 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,879 our prayers answered, but certainly to separate from us, separate 101 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,040 that sin that is in the way from us. Right, 102 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,079 the Bible says in Isaiah chapter fifty nine, Verses one 103 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,360 and two, that God is able to answer your prayers 104 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:21,519 like God's hands are not too short, his ears are 105 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,279 not stopped up. But your iniquities have separated between you 106 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,639 and your God that he will not be able to hear. 107 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,319 And so what God wants us to do is to 108 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,480 have nothing between our souls and our saviors and our Savior. 109 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,680 And then when we go to him in confidence, we 110 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:43,240 can go knowing that His will will be done. His 111 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,839 will will be done on earth in your situation, as 112 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,120 he sees how it's supposed to be in heaven. Can 113 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,160 I say it again? His will will be done on 114 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120 earth as it is in heaven. And so now this 115 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,959 man he believed on his word, he knows that Jesus 116 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,480 did something. He goes on his way to see what 117 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,279 God showed him by faith. And now the servants, who 118 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,519 are amazed and surprised, meet him along the way, and 119 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,800 they told him saying, thy son liveth Then inquired he 120 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:20,959 of them what hour m at just the right time? 121 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,279 What hour when he began to amend like he was 122 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,480 getting better? When did that happen? When did that happen? 123 00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:32,199 And they said, unto him, yesterday about at the seventh 124 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,759 hour the fever left him. You see, when I am 125 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,680 praying there are many times, especially when I'm praying for 126 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,839 a group of people, I ask God, or when we're 127 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,600 praying for healing for someone, or for some challenge or difficulty. 128 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,920 I asked God to please give us a mouth with 129 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,319 which to praise Him, and I say, God, to get glory. 130 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,600 Will you please remind us that it was at this 131 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,639 moment that we were praying to you, so that when 132 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,879 you choose to answer the prayer, we can say it 133 00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:05,360 was at this moment eight minutes into our broadcast today, 134 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,439 on this day in September, right before we go into October, 135 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,920 Jesus began to do a special work, and we can 136 00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,560 say it was because we prayed. It was because we 137 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,120 were in God's presence in a worshipful mind set. It 138 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560 was because we yielded our will to God. And He 139 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,600 said yes to answer the prayer in the affirmative. And 140 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,000 so now they know the hour. They know that the 141 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,759 fever had left him Verse fifty three. So the father 142 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,799 knew that it was at the same hour in the 143 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,360 which Jesus said, unto him, thy son liveth and himself 144 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:45,440 he believed. And guess what that belief was contagious. You see, 145 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,759 the man believed and that belief was contagious. You see, 146 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:55,360 people saw that Jesus answered the man's prayer in the affirmative. 147 00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:00,559 Jesus worked on behalf of the young son and Hem 148 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000 at just the time that Jesus said, go your way, 149 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,000 your son liveth And now the whole house is like, 150 00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:11,000 wait a minute, now, what a god? 151 00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: Like? 152 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,759 Speaker 2: Wait a minute? Now? Are you saying that Jesus healed him. 153 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,759 He didn't even have to come and see or lay 154 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:21,639 hands on him. He did not have to anoint his 155 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,200 head with oil. He didn't have to do anything except 156 00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:28,120 speak the word in the same way he said, let 157 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,559 there be light in the beginning, and there was light 158 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,399 in the same way. He healed so many people subsequent 159 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,639 to this. We see now that the whole house was 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,200 a believer. Now this again was the second miracle Jesus 161 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,000 did when he came out of Judea into Galliwate. Peace. 162 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot 163 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600 live by bread alone, but by every word that comes 164 00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720 from the mouth of God. This has been your daily 165 00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279 portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
