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 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 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
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,159
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,719
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, dear morning. It is Friday, April eleven,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,560
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,399
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:46,359
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,079
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:54,640
study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption

16
00:00:54,759 --> 00:01:00,960
for today is just one word anchored. Anchored. We'll get

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,640
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like

18
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:04,359

are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.

26
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:33,680
This is one of the ways that we continue to

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,959
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,560
then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,560
for giving us this new day and for giving us

30
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:48,439
this time of preparation. Please anchor our faith in you.

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Please help us to do that. In Jesus' name, I pray,

32
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:59,000
Amen and Amen again. Anchored, anchored. I'm going to begin

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,719
by reading from the book the Acts of the Apostles,

34
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:06,560
page five hundred and eighty, and we'll get right under way.

35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,599
And this is where where Ellen White states that one

36
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:12,840
of the reasons the Book of Revelation was written, just

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,719
one of the reasons was to anchor God's people in

38
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:26,479
its historic message for all time. Okay, to anchor God's

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,759
people in its historic message for all time. You know,

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,360
sometimes people lose focus. Jesus actually said that the Church

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,960
of Ephesus had lost her first love. So we need

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,199
to be anchored, anchored in the Lord. Okay, And so

43
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:49,319
the quote is some of the younger workers at that

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,879
time talking about people who were actually working as employees

45
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,479
of the organization of God's People. Yes, had become very weary.

46
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:03,159
Excuse me of off repeated truths. See some of you

47
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,919
get tired. This is applicable to all people who say

48
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,599
that we are God's people. Even the Bible says, don't

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,439
become weary in well doing. Or if you are a

50
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,360
person who believes the truth for these days, for this day,

51
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:22,120
you may be getting weary of teaching the truth. You

52
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:26,400
may be getting weary of teaching that Jesus Christ is

53
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,000
the one who gave his life for us, that he

54
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,080
is the one mediator between God and man. He's the man,

55
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,520
Jesus Christ. You may be tired of saying that, but

56
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
don't be weary and well doing, brothers and sisters. May

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,039
be you may be tired of teaching the truth that

58
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:47,599
God has given us in the sanctuary a picture and

59
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,919
image of salvation right all the way through to God

60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240
expunging the record of his people, if we are covered

61
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,800
by Him. You may be tired of talking about the

62
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
sanctuary above. You may be tired of that. You may

63
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,400
be tired of teaching that the seventh day is the

64
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Sabbath of the Lord thy God, and in it thou

65
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,560
shalt not do any work thou nor thy son, nor

66
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:13,199
thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle,

67
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:15,560
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. You may

68
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,000
be tired of saying that the Sabbath is a sign Ah,

69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,920
that he is the one who sanctifies his people. You

70
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,800
may be tired. You may be tired of saying Jesus

71
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,360
literally is coming soon. You may be a scoffer now.

72
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,600
You may be saying things like, well, the things that

73
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:33,959
we see going on on earth, we've been seeing it

74
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,959
since the fathers fell asleep. You may be tired. But

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,959
what we're reading here is that some of the younger

76
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:44,480
or immature I'm adding immature people of God may be

77
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,120
weary of these truths. You may be tired that we

78
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,639
have the entire armor of God that we can go

79
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:54,120
with every single day seven implements of war. May be

80
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,480
you may be tired because you've been buffeted and beaten

81
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
up in your day, and the trials and tribune relations

82
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,439
and temptations have overwhelmed you. You may be tired, Ah,

83
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:08,160
But it does say here, in their desire for something

84
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:14,439
novel and startling, they attempt to introduce new phases of

85
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,040
Bible doctrine. Can I just say that's the end of

86
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,480
the quote. By the way, don't do that, like, don't

87
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,560
do that. I just want to be very clear. Don't

88
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,040
make up stuff. Because you're tired of saying the same

89
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:28,519
thing over and over again. Are you tired of saying

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,800
to your spouse, I love you? You want a new spouse,

91
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,759
You want somebody else to come into your marriage, God forbid,

92
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,480
because you're tired of looking at the one woman that

93
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,480
you married, gentlemen, the one man that you married. Sisters, like,

94
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,360
are you tired of saying I love you to your

95
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:49,360
own children? So you go and involve yourself in other

96
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:53,360
people's house and disturb that and take away their children.

97
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:57,199
You see how ridiculous this is? Ah boy, I wish

98
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,480
I had the time, But let me just say here.

99
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,920
We need to be anchored in the truth, anchored in

100
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,040
God's word before I get too far afield. And so

101
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,560
we want to look at this foundation, the word foundation

102
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,519
in Isaiah chapter fourty and verse eight. We're just looking

103
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,759
at the concept that we can see clearly in Bible

104
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,360
prophecy is a symbolic Bible prophecy Daniel and revelation, in

105
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:29,720
particular the grass withrith and the flower fadeth. But the word,

106
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,759
somebody type in the chat, the word, the word of

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,480
our work God shall stand how long forever? Okay? And

108
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:42,319
so the truth is the truth is that the truth

109
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,560
doesn't change. I said. The truth is that the truth

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,279
doesn't change. And his message, God's message through his word

111
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:54,920
is consistent. Don't become weary because of His word. Faith

112
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:59,959
is anchored in Christ, and those who have that faith

113
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,319
will be saved. And of course history matters. What God

114
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,959
has said in the past matters. We have no fear

115
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,959
for the future, except we forget history. What God has done,

116
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,360
how He has brought us in the past. And God

117
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:20,680
wants us to internalize his truth. And in Psalm the

118
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Bible Book of Psalms, chapter one hundred and nineteen and

119
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,120
verse eleven, the Bible reads, Thy Word, have I hid

120
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,680
in my heart that I might not sin against thee.

121
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,160
So God wants us to internalize his truth, not just

122
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,439
observe it, not just hear it, not just see it,

123
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:41,279
not just identify that it does exist, but to hide

124
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:46,160
it in our hearts to embrace it fully internalize his truth.

125
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,560
Deep Bible study is needed. I know that my brother

126
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,680
quest is there with his pen and tablet, his pad.

127
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,120
He's there writing, He is there outlining and underlining and

128
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,439
learning from God's word, maybe even at this moment. And

129
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480
that's what we need to do personally. We apply it

130
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:08,879
with the Holy Spirit's guidance, and then we of course

131
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:12,439
continue to grow in our understanding. And so the Bible

132
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,519
says that some steps that we should take in that

133
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:20,120
regard comes right from two Timothy, chapter two and verse fifteen.

134
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,399
Study to show thyself approved unto God. A workman, a

135
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:31,639
work person that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing

136
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,399
the word of truth. And that means that we need

137
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,600
to study God's word regularly. Yeah, there are times that

138
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,399
we have to study, not just read, but study. Reading

139
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,840
is fundamental. Yes, we do read. Hearing and reading God's

140
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,759
word is key, but we also need to study and

141
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:49,559
then share the truths that we are learning. I said

142
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,600
our learning, it's a continual reality. We are not necessarily experts,

143
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,440
but we continue, we continue to learn and then share

144
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,080
at the same time the principles that we are learning.

145
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600
We don't just intellectualize this thing and put it in

146
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,200
our minds and be able to spout it like pardon

147
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,080
me I'm doing now, but actually live it, like when

148
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,279
you see me when I'm angry? Am I living it?

149
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:16,759
When you see me when I'm tired or hungry? Am

150
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,120
I living it when I'm frustrated? When things don't make sense?

151
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,440
Am I still living his word? And then, of course,

152
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,639
build others, build others. There are so many more things

153
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:31,159
that I could say, But don't become weary because of

154
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,799
God's truths, Anchor. Your faith in God be transformed by

155
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:40,600
his word, and the revelation will be given to you.

156
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:44,039
I said, the revelation will be given to you. Make

157
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,600
it a great day.

158
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we

159
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

160
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

161
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
