Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Monday, September thirty,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you God's Word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing in our new
lesson study series themes in the Gospel of John, and
our caption for today is the Second Signed, the second
Sign in Galilee, the second Sign in Galilee. We'll get
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
to say welcome to you and ask you to please
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join
our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book,
and let us know where you are in the world
at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this day.
Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for
giving us the opportunity to pray. And I ask you
to please draw us into your presence, help us to
see all of the miracles that you did as a
facility for us to worship you and to be transformed
by you miraculously and to live according to all of
your principles in these last days. In Jesus name, I pray,
Amen and Amen again the second Sign in Galilee. Okay,
and so now we're going to read from the Bible
book of John chapter four. John. Yes, John chapter four,
and I will read beginning at verse forty six. John
chapter four and I will read beginning at verse forty six.
Let's see what God has to say. So Jesus came
again to cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine.
So we now know that in that same place there
are people who are well aware, not just from reading
the prophecies. If there were a few people who had
done that. But people are well aware because Jesus manifests
the glory of God to people, so they can believe,
this is what we learned yesterday, right, And so he
manifests through this miracle and his compassion and the symbolism
in that transformation from water into unfermented wine something special.
So now he's in the place where people are primed
and ready ready to see more, okay, experience more. So
he came to cana of Galilee where he made the
water into wine. And there was a certain noblemen whose
son was sick at Copernium. When he heard that Jesus
was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to
him and he besought him that he would come down
and heal his son. Why because he was at the
point of death. What happens when you are experiencing sickness?
What do you do? What happens when someone who is
very close to you is very sick? Who do you
go to? Who do you beseech? Who do you pray to?
Who do you ask for a miracle? Well, hopefully you
do what this man is about to do. Verse forty eight.
Then said Jesus unto him, except GC signs and wonders,
you will not believe. And the man, the nobleman said,
unto him, sir, come down ere, my child die. And
Jesus saith unto him, go thy way, thy son liveth
So the man is desperate. Jesus checks him. He checks
him for what he knows is in the man the
nobleman's heart, and he says, please, but Jesus, I hear
what you're saying. But my son really needs you. Can
you come and heal him? And Jesus says, all right,
So this is what I need you to do. Go
ahead where you came from. Your son lives. And the
man believed the word I want you to type in
the chat. Believe the word, believe the word. The man
believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and
he went his way. You see, when Jesus sends you
on a mission, when Jesus gives you, he gives us instructions.
Do we believe him When he says, go and sin
no more? Do we believe that we can go and
send no more? Or when he says, take up your
bed and walk, do we believe that, by God's grace
we can take up our bed and walk. We were paralyzed,
we were sick, we were somehow afflicted with some other challenge.
And Jesus says, this is what I need you to do.
Do we believe his word and then go and do
what he says. You see, the man went on his way,
and he went on his way, and you know it's
very interesting. What's interesting verse fifty one. And when he
was now going down, his servants met him. You see,
the servants are amazed by God, and likely they are
also surprised, like something special just happened. Does something special
happen when you speak to God and then He responds
to you? You see, the Bible says, this is the
confidence that we have in him that if we ask
anything according to his will, then he hears us. And
we know that if he hears us, we have the
petitions we desire of him. And so we want to
be in alignment with God's will, not just to get
our prayers answered, but certainly to separate from us, separate
that sin that is in the way from us. Right,
the Bible says in Isaiah chapter fifty nine, Verses one
and two, that God is able to answer your prayers
like God's hands are not too short, his ears are
not stopped up. But your iniquities have separated between you
and your God that he will not be able to hear.
And so what God wants us to do is to
have nothing between our souls and our saviors and our Savior.
And then when we go to him in confidence, we
can go knowing that His will will be done. His
will will be done on earth in your situation, as
he sees how it's supposed to be in heaven. Can
I say it again? His will will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. And so now this
man he believed on his word, he knows that Jesus
did something. He goes on his way to see what
God showed him by faith. And now the servants, who
are amazed and surprised, meet him along the way, and
they told him saying, thy son liveth Then inquired he
of them what hour m at just the right time?
What hour when he began to amend like he was
getting better? When did that happen? When did that happen?
And they said, unto him, yesterday about at the seventh
hour the fever left him. You see, when I am
praying there are many times, especially when I'm praying for
a group of people, I ask God, or when we're
praying for healing for someone, or for some challenge or difficulty.
I asked God to please give us a mouth with
which to praise Him, and I say, God, to get glory.
Will you please remind us that it was at this
moment that we were praying to you, so that when
you choose to answer the prayer, we can say it
was at this moment eight minutes into our broadcast today,
on this day in September, right before we go into October,
Jesus began to do a special work, and we can
say it was because we prayed. It was because we
were in God's presence in a worshipful mind set. It
was because we yielded our will to God. And He
said yes to answer the prayer in the affirmative. And
so now they know the hour. They know that the
fever had left him Verse fifty three. So the father
knew that it was at the same hour in the
which Jesus said, unto him, thy son liveth and himself
he believed. And guess what that belief was contagious. You see,
the man believed and that belief was contagious. You see,
people saw that Jesus answered the man's prayer in the affirmative.
Jesus worked on behalf of the young son and Hem
at just the time that Jesus said, go your way,
your son liveth And now the whole house is like,
wait a minute, now, what a god?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Wait a minute? Now? Are you saying that Jesus healed him.
He didn't even have to come and see or lay
hands on him. He did not have to anoint his
head with oil. He didn't have to do anything except
speak the word in the same way he said, let
there be light in the beginning, and there was light
in the same way. He healed so many people subsequent
to this. We see now that the whole house was
a believer. Now this again was the second miracle Jesus
did when he came out of Judea into Galliwate. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
