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 --> 00:00:15,080
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 --> 00:00:25,920
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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,159

00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,920
not privy to this. This evening on the YouTube channel

31
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:55,359
for your Daily Portion, we have our musical Bible class

32
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,239
where we teach the lesson, except we use music the

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,640
whole week we teach the lesson. We have eight songs

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,359
that are created only and exclusively for you for this purpose.

35
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,400
And that happens tonight if the Lord Spear's life at

36
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:15,080
seven pm Eastern time. Let's pray, Father, thank you for

37
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,680
this day of preparation. Thank you for your dear son.

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,560
Help us to trust him and live like him. In

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Jesus' name, I pray Amen and Amen again. So I'm

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,719
going to break from the norm. I want you to

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,120
just continue with the Life Application Guide on your own,

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,960
where we have those four key ways of applying this

43
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,080
lesson and we're going to go with direct teaching today. Okay,

44
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,680
We're going to go with direct teaching today and begin

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,520
with a quote. Begin with a quote from eighteen sixty

46
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:59,759
nine eighteen sixty nine Review and Herald from John Nevins Andrews,

47
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:03,719
and it reads, Christ stands at the head of creation.

48
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400
He stands at the head of creation, not as a

49
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,800
created being, but as the divine agent through whom all

50
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:20,400
things were made and are sustained. Do you realize that

51
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,039
even the food that you eat on a daily basis

52
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,400
comes because Jesus, the god Man, the one who created you,

53
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,000
also took on human form to save us from our sins.

54
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,639
Can I say that the one who existed from eternity

55
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,439
past knew that on the twentieth day of February in

56
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:47,039
twenty twenty six, that you would be here and that

57
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,479
you would need food to eat. And it's because of him,

58
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,439
because of his not just his creatorship, which is enough,

59
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,719
but also because of the fact that he redeemed you.

60
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,120
Because we deserve eternal death. Are you hearing where I'm

61
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,520
going with this? We deserve eternal death. And that means

62
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,319
that in the moment that we sinned the very first time,

63
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:16,120
it disqualified us for anything besides eternal death. And so

64
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Jesus the Creator, Jesus the Redeemer. He stands at the

65
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,040
head of creation. And everything that you need, everything you have,

66
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:30,319
everything you are, it only comes because of him. It

67
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:34,079
only comes because of him. In the book Evangelism, page

68
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,240
six hundred and fifteen, we read Jesus is the pre existent.

69
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:40,800
I love that word. Look it up if you don't know.

70
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:46,480
That means he existed from eternity past. He is the preexistent.

71
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,560
Now comes a bigger word, self existent. My God, Christ

72
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,439
is the preexistent, self existent of God. That means that

73
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:06,600
there was never a time that Jesus didn't exist. I

74
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,959
don't understand it. When I was young, I tried to

75
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,600
fathom eternity past. I tried to fathom it. I tried

76
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,000
to understand what it meant for God, the Father, God,

77
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:20,920
the Son, God, the Holy Ghoes. I tried to figure

78
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:24,399
out how did they always exist? How is it that

79
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:27,279
there was never a time that they didn't exist? And

80
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,560
I got anxiety. I will promise you so, I'm now

81
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,839
even in the moment I went back there, when I

82
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,199
closed my eyes, I went back to the moment that

83
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,680
that anxiety cropped up because I could not understand it,

84
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,600
and so now I believe it by faith. I don't

85
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,639
try to understand it. Why would I worship a god

86
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,319
that I can master? Why would I worship a god

87
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,759
where there's not an infinity beyond whatever my understanding is currently?

88
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,759
Why would I create a god and then bow down

89
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,680
and worship it? You see? And so Jesus is also

90
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:04,160
self existent. That means that there was no power that

91
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,480
came outside of Jesus Christ that makes him to exist.

92
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,680
It is not the power of the Father that makes

93
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,759
Jesus exist. It is not the power of the Holy

94
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,399
Ghost that makes Jesus exist. It is not some kind

95
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:24,000
of mystical astronomic power that causes Jesus to exist he

96
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:29,839
self existent. Anyway, let me keep reading. There never was

97
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,639
a time when he was not in close fellowship with

98
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,120
the eternal God. And I will say, our Father, Now,

99
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,720
why is this important to me? Why do I always

100
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,399
sit on this fact so long? Well? Listen, hmm. Jesus

101
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,720
is described as the one who was the one who

102
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,199
is the one who is to come. That means that

103
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,399
at any time in the past in your bloodline, any

104
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,680
great great grand all the way back to Adam. Yeah,

105
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,879
whatever was in your bloodline, Jesus was there and he

106
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,920
saw that that was the reality, and he knew that

107
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
you would suffer. He knew that you would have to

108
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,439
struggle through. He knew exactly what your situation would be.

109
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,279
And because he's the one who was an eternity past,

110
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:23,279
he understands what it takes to save you. Right now,

111
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,240
you understand where I'm going with this. He's the one

112
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,480
who is that means whatever you need in this moment

113
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,240
of your life. And if God extended your moment and

114
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:35,079
it's now again but later, did you hear what I

115
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,399
just said. I'm not talking about the candy. I'm talking about,

116
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:41,160
not the sweetie. I'm talking about if now is seven

117
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,279
minutes into our broadcast, and God delivers us and protects

118
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
us until the end, which will be ten minutes in

119
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,480
some seconds at the from the beginning of the broadcast,

120
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:54,600
if at that time it's now again, He's here with

121
00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:58,120
you now again, like now now now. Shout to the

122
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,279
Jamaicans who know what I mean when I say no, no, no,

123
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:02,720
no no no no no no no no y'all come

124
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,959
no yes now, He's present, a very present help in

125
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,000
the time of trouble, and also the one who is

126
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,319
to come. So he sees your life afar off. He

127
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:18,759
knows exactly what you will encounter, and he's able to

128
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:21,920
protect you. He is able to keep you, he is

129
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:24,800
able to deliver you, he is able to keep you

130
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,639
from falling. You understand where I'm going with this, And

131
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,440
so God has been so good to allow me to

132
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,039
allow you to be in His presence, so that the

133
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,240
preexistent and eternal One can save us from our sins.

134
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:46,399
And so our lesson number one. Our lesson number one

135
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:53,600
is Jesus does not leave room for partial belief, for

136
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,399
partial belief, and Jesus didn't present himself as merely an

137
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,399
insightful or inspirational person. His words, his claims, and his

138
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:11,200
actions demand a decision. He claimed divine identity. I know

139
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,559
that there are some people of different faith community, some

140
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,159
even who go to church with us on a regular basis,

141
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,519
who say that Jesus never claimed. That is not true.

142
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,600
His words, claims, and actions demand a decision. He claimed

143
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:32,399
divine identity, He eternal existence and absolute authority. The Gospel

144
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,840
does not invite admiration. It calls for allegiance and so

145
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,919
we worship the Son of God because he's worthy. Make

146
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,720
it a great day, Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends,

147
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

148
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

149
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

150
00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:58,039
it a great day.

151
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah,
