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
00:00:15,199 --> 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 --> 00:00:26,320
today and receive the power we need to live healthy.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

10
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,039
Elle David Harris.

11
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,759
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Thursday. It's

12
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:40,039
May twenty nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is

13
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,439
El David Harris. I am your host, and this is

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,840
your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,719
single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

16
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,960
in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,280
and our caption for today is that your salvation may

18
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:04,519
be known. That your salvation may be known. We'll get

19
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:06,239
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,239

26
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:30,359
of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

27
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:33,840
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

28
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:36,640
Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us this new

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
day and for getting us thus far into our work week.

30
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:43,840
Thank you for giving us the ability to speak for you,

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,359
for entrusting that to us and commissioning us and empowering

32
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,319
us for this, Please help us to be committed to

33
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:56,159
you now in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and amen again,

34
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,920
that your salvation may be known. There is so much

35
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:02,879
to say here, but let me just go ahead and

36
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,840
begin by asking you a question. What obligations? And I

37
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:11,840
know automatically this causes somebody to itch. You may have

38
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,800
an allergic response when I say obligations, But let me

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,319
just speak for a moment. What obligations should we, as

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,520
the people of God, a collective, the church, the body

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,759
of believers, and as individuals feel toward teaching others the

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,319
truths that we love so much. Now you may not

43
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,639
like the word obligations. What responsibility? What are the things

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,919
that we should take on. We have been commissioned to

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,080
do something. What do we do as a church? What

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,919
do we do as individual people of God in the church?

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,759
And so the Bible reads here in the Book of Psalms,

48
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,840
chapter sixty seven, verses one and two. God be merciful

49
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,240
to us and bless us. See, God has given himself

50
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:07,080
the responsibility to take care of us, to be merciful

51
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,639
toward us, to bless us, and to cause his face

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,360
to shine upon us. That's what I desire, and your way,

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,240
that your way may be known on the earth. So

54
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:22,639
when God shines his face upon us, when he is

55
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,680
merciful toward us, when he blesses us, the outcome is

56
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,400
that his way, who he is, how he loves, how

57
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:36,360
he saves, how merciful and good he is, is known

58
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,400
in the earth, your salvation among the nations. Okay, So

59
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:45,159
this is not a passive reality. Like when God shines

60
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,319
his light upon us, when he is merciful upon us,

61
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,759
toward us, when he does bless us, and he just

62
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:57,360
gives salvation to us, then it's for us to receive

63
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,080
the light and then share it. It is our privilege.

64
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,000
You don't like the word obligation. I don't have a

65
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,840
problem with that. It's our privilege, it is indeed and

66
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,800
in fact, our responsibility. So God's light is not meant

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,479
to stop with us. When we absorb his truth but

68
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:19,480
fail to reflect it, then we become like the coating

69
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,879
described ultra dark, invisible, unnoticeable. That's not the purpose of light.

70
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:28,600
And if you don't know what I'm referring to, I

71
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,959
want you to go back to the actual adult study

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,319
guide and see what the engineers at MIT created that

73
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,199
new black coating. That is not our mission. That is

74
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,720
not our mission, okay. And so the first thing that

75
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,600
we have the privilege of doing is to reflect the

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,759
light of God, not just absorb it. Not just absorb it.

77
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,720
Now we go to Isaiah, chapter fifty six and verse seven.

78
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,360
The Bible reads, for my house shall be called a

79
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,759
house of prayer for all people, for all people, those

80
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,800
who keep covenant with God, those who keep Sabbath. If

81
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,480
you read in Isaiah fifty six, you'll see the entire context.

82
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,000
Those who were once not His people but have become

83
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,519
God's people are not to be considered in their own

84
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,920
minds a dry tree that God doesn't bless, or not

85
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,519
to be considered in their minds or in the minds

86
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,040
of the people of God who were here already as

87
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,680
strangers or somehow broken or somehow unclean. These people who

88
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:36,639
keep covenant with God, who also keep the Sabbath of God,

89
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,279
which is a sign, which is a sign that God

90
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,480
is the one who sanctifies us. This is what the

91
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:47,079
Bible says. These are all called a house of prayer,

92
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,279
the house of prayer for all nations. So the invitation

93
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,160
goes out from God's people. We receive his light, his blessings,

94
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:00,240
his mercy right, and then we go out willingly. We

95
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,000
go out with thanksgiving and praise in our lives. To say,

96
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,600
I was thirsty before here is some water. I was

97
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,639
hungry for the word of God, before here is some bread.

98
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,439
I have been lonely before. We are a community of

99
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,879
believers who love God and love one another. Jesus said,

100
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,319
this is the way that people will know that you

101
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:26,920
are My disciples, when you have love one for another.

102
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,600
So the Church, the people of God, as a collective,

103
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,120
is not a spiritual departure lounge when you go to

104
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,879
an airport huh, for the select few. It is a

105
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,240
mission hub for all nations. The Last Day's message is

106
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:52,079
not about spiritual pride. It is about urgency, inclusivity, and service.

107
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:55,560
The Bible reads in Revelation fourteen and verse six, and

108
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,240
I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,

109
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:04,839
having the lasting gospel to preach to every nation and

110
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,240
every kindred and every tongue and every people. So the

111
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,319
people of God move, We move. We don't stand still.

112
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,720
We don't just collect, we don't just congregate. We move.

113
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,560
We move quickly with the message of hope. We move

114
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,680
quickly with the fact that the judgment that is in

115
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,519
our day, that happens before Jesus returns, that is, is

116
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,519
to manifest his ability to cover his people in his

117
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,600
righteousness and to reveal his character to the world in

118
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,199
our day. All of this is to go to every nation, kindred, tongue,

119
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,199
tribeing people. And this judgment or this phase of judgment,

120
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,759
is the only safe place in twenty twenty five to live.

121
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,879
We live in this place, not where we are being condemned.

122
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,639
That's not the only way that judgment manifests. There are

123
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,079
time that we are found innocent, because in this case

124
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:06,120
we have the covering of Christ. We are now seen

125
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,959
as if just as if we had never sinned, and

126
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:13,240
of course that is our privilege. We are are not

127
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:17,800
to be stationary like posts that just stay in one place.

128
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,759
We all are called to fly, to move, to take

129
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:29,399
the truth forward urgently, joyfully, and globally. And that is

130
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,000
the case in our relationships, in our workplaces and our

131
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,799
conversations as individuals, not just as a collective of believers,

132
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:41,120
but also as individuals. And we ask God every day,

133
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,039
who can I bless today? At my workplace, on the internet,

134
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:49,360
as you're posting, as you're responding to posts on the

135
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:52,279
way in the vehicle, when you're doing your business at

136
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,759
the bank, at the laundrymat, at the place where you

137
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,559
buy your groceries, where you drop off your children for

138
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:03,320
day care or after care. Who can I bless today

139
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,919
with your truth? Who can I bless with your truth?

140
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:12,320
There is so much more to say, but so little time.

141
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Let me just say finally that in Psalm chapter sixty seven,

142
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:21,279
this reminds us that the Everlasting Gospel is not new.

143
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,799
It is rooted in God's ancient call for its people

144
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:30,679
to bless the world by revealing his character. When you

145
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,120
are like God, you're godly God's power in your life,

146
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,159
You're blessing the entire world, how in the way that

147
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,559
they can also be like him, So be like him peace.

148
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

149
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

150
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

151
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

152
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

153
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
