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 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,759
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Thursday. It's

our Lesson study series God's Love and Justice, and our

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,840
caption for today is Christ has Overcome the World. Christ

17
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:05,280
has overcome the World. Before I get into that, I'd

18
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:06,959
like to say welcome to you and ask you to

00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,959
book that your Daily Portion book, the Companion Guide that

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920
goes with this quarter's lesson. I just showed it to you.

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,719
I've only shown it to you a couple of times

24
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,239
on screen, but you can always get it right at

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,040
your Daily Portion dot com because this is how we

26
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,159
do the application of what we are learning every day.

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,840
I'm telling you that this is a life changing experience.

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,799
If you would like to see this go on for

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,359
quarters in the future, then this one needs to be successful.

30
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:48,439
This is our second quarter so far, so okay, I

31
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,040
wouldn't say great, but if this is what you desired,

32
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,439
then please please please share with as many people as

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,280
possible at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one

34
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:02,480
of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Let's go ahead and pray and we will get underwagh.

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,879
Father in heaven, thank you for giving us this day

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,759
our daily bread. Thank you for showing us how to overcome.

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,319
Please make us overcomers in Jesus' name. I pray a

39
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:25,719
man and a man again. Christ has overcome the world.

40
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:30,479
I'm very excited to share this with you because because

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,759
sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the world. The Bible says

42
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,240
that we should Paul speaking, he said we should we

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,639
should not allow the world to squeeze us into its mold.

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,080
The Bible says that we should not be conformed to

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,560
this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

46
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,879
You see where this is going. And so I'm thankful

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,599
because Jesus already overcame the world so we can be

48
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,240
transformed and not have to worry about conforming to the

49
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,319
mold of this world. Okay, So I want to say

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,919
that because sometimes people are trying to figure out, like,

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,680
how in the world do we do this? How do

52
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:21,120
we do this? How do we do this? Jesus has

53
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,400
done it, and he has promised that he will be

54
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:26,280
with us that if we let this mind be in us,

55
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:31,560
which was also in Christ, Jesus, he will superimpose his power.

56
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:36,360
He will instill his victory into our lives. And all

57
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,840
we need to do is cooperate, surrender our will to God,

58
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,840
and cooperate. Now, I want to give an example, because

59
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,439
there are a number of ways that we can we

60
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:51,080
can go in discussing this, but I want to give

61
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:55,800
from First John chapter two a quick quiz. Okay, from

62
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,319
First John chapter two, beginning at verse fifteen, and then

63
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,560
we'll go to lou chapter four, and the Bible reads

64
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,879
love not the world, neither the things that are in

65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,080
the world. If anybody loves the world, the love of

66
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,719
the Father is not in him, for all that is

67
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040
in the world, the lust of the flesh. Keep that

68
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,240
list in mind. The lust of the flesh, and the

69
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,720
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is

70
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,720
not of the Father, but of the world. And the

71
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:31,399
world passeth away, and the lust thereof But he that

72
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,360
doeth the will of God abideth forever. So do you

73
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:37,759
want to abide forever life? Do you want to live

74
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,839
eternally with God? Do you want victory in every key

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,680
area of your life and your relationships and your finances, huh,

76
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:51,560
in your spiritual journey, your personal development and beyond. If

77
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,879
that is what you're interested in, then take this passage

78
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:58,160
to heart. Now, I want to go to the Bible

79
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:02,120
Book of Luke chapter five, Luke chapter four, and I

80
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:06,959
want to discuss very quickly the time that Jesus was

81
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,800
in the wilderness being tempted by the devil. Okay, and

82
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,160
I want you to be on the lookout for some things.

83
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,839
And the Bible reads beginning at verse one and Jesus

84
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,399
being full of the Holy Ghost, he was what he

85
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,279
was full of the Holy Ghost. So the prerequisite to overcoming,

86
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,600
as Jesus overcame, is to allow God's Holy Spirit to

87
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,120
fill us. Okay, So he's full of the Holy Ghost

88
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,399
and led by the Spirit into the wilderness. So as

89
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:40,199
we are full of the Holy Spirit, we are inclined

90
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,959
to listen when he leads us and guides us. Okay.

91
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,360
Being forty days tempted of the devil, and in those

92
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,680
days he did eat nothing, and when they were ended,

93
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,120
he afterward was hungry. And the devil said unto him,

94
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,199
if thou be the son of God, I want you

95
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,439
to hear what he's saying, command this stone that it

96
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:07,279
be made bread. If you had to pick one of

97
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:11,199
the three categories of sin that we just read from

98
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,319
First John chapter two, which would it be. Would it

99
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,959
be lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, or

100
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,560
pride of life that the devil was tempting Jesus with

101
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,319
which are the three? Of course, it's the first lust

102
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:30,800
of the flesh. He was trying to get Jesus to

103
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,120
satisfy the desire or the needs of the flesh in

104
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,360
a way that would have been unholy. And Jesus verse

105
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:43,560
four answered him, saying, it is written that man shall

106
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,959
not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

107
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,839
So Jesus he wins. He wins against the lust of

108
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,040
the flesh. Verse five, And the devil taking him up

109
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:56,480
into a high mountain. I wish I had time to

110
00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:58,399
really drill this, but I just need to make this

111
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,319
one point, okay. And the devil, taking him up into

112
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,839
a high mountain, showed him all of the kingdoms of

113
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160
the world in a moment of time. And the devil said,

114
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,079
unto him, all this power will I give thee and

115
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,759
the glory of them, For that is delivered unto me,

116
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,439
and to whomsoever I will give it. If therefore that

117
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,399
will worship me, all shall be thine. Which would that

118
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,680
be lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, or

119
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,600
pride of life? And if you said lust of the

120
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,040
or lust of the eyes, then you would be correct.

121
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:41,399
He showed him all of the kingdoms of the world.

122
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:45,800
He dangled that proverbial carot before Jesus and said, I

123
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:48,360
will give you all of these things if you will

124
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:53,120
what go against God, break the law of God our father,

125
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,480
and worship the enemy. Of course, Jesus overcame lust of

126
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,639
the flesh. Now the lu of the eyes. He overcame

127
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,399
that as well verse eight. And Jesus answered and said,

128
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:07,600
unto him, get thee behind me, Satan, For it is written,

129
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,879
thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only

130
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,360
shalt thou serve. Okay, And here we go in verse nine,

131
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,720
and he brought on. He brought him to Jerusalem and

132
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120
set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said,

133
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:26,920
unto him, if thou be the son of God, cast

134
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:31,120
thyself down from hence he's telling Jesus to jump off

135
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,039
of the temple. What for it is written he shall

136
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,879
give his angels charge over thee to keep thee. He

137
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,000
lests some stuff out, But I don't have the time

138
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,919
to deal with this. And in their hands shall they

139
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,600
bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy

140
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,679
foot against the stone. So which is it lust of

141
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,279
the flesh, lust of the eyes, or the pride of life?

142
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,279
Of course, if you identified that it's number three, the

143
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,200
pride of life, then again you would be correct. And

144
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,879
the Bible says and verse twelve, and Jesus, answering, said,

145
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,639
unto him, it is said, thou shalt not tempt the

146
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,879
Lord thy God. And the devil had ended all of

147
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,320
the temptation. He departed from him for a season, and

148
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,440
Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee,

149
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360
and there went out of fame of him through all

150
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,240
the region round about. I will just pause right here,

151
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,960
and so when the Bible says that Jesus was in

152
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,360
all points tempted like as we are, and yet without sin,

153
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:38,080
we see an illustration Jesus overcoming lust of the flesh,

154
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,879
overcoming lust of the eyes, overcoming pride of life, so

155
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,000
that you can overcome. Make it a great day, peace.

156
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

157
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

158
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

159
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
