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 --> 00:00:27,399
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,

11
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,359
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good Marning, Good morning. It is Sunday. It's

12
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:40,000
July twenty, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

13
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:42,840
David Harris. I am your host. Den This is your

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,439
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,799
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,840
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. Under the

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,439
caption God versus God's God. We're talking about the Creator

18
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,119
versus all of the other Gods. Yeah, that's our discussion today.

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,640
And before we get into that, I'd like to say

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,599
welcome to you and ask you to go over to

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,719
your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

22
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:15,920
pick up your Daily Portion life application guide, and let

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,200
us know where you are in the world. There's a

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,920
little form there to let us know where you are

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,120
in the world at your daily portion dot com. This

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,000
is one of the ways that we continue to build

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,480
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then

28
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:34,640
we will get underway. Father, We thank you. Thank you

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,200
for giving us the privilege of being called by your name.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,400
I say that often because it is a privilege. You

31
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,959
said you would write your name in our foreheads. Thank

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,840
you for being our God. Please teach us how to

33
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:51,000
serve you today. Teach us how to not look to

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,920
the left or to the right, but to just focus

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
on you and whatever you desire in Jesus name. I pray,

36
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:03,280
Amen and Amen again God versus Gods. So, yeah, I

37
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:06,079
wanted to deal with this yesterday, but really it's for

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,479
today's lesson. Yeah. So, when Pharaoh said that he didn't

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,120
know this God that Moses said told him to let

40
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,759
him let the people go, Really he's messing up his

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,960
economy and really actually turning away from what he had

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,520
been trained to believe all of his days. He believed

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,439
now that he was indeed and in fact God, and

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680
likely he believed he was the supreme god of the

45
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,240
gods in air quotes. And so now you're coming with

46
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,199
a message from someone who says that they're God. I

47
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,960
don't know who that is. And by the way, go

48
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:44,840
tell whoever told you that, I'm not letting nobody go,

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,520
and really probably deep in his corey saying make me like,

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,599
if you're gonna, if you're a god, then make me well,

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
how did that work for him? So we're going to

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,879
run quickly through through the gods. I almost said pas

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,960
of gods, but would that would give you the wrong

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
impression because it's not a pantheon in Egypt. But you

55
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,199
get the point. And so when God turned the water

56
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:12,000
to blood in the plagues, we're talking about the plgs

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,960
very quickly. When he did that, he was targeting false

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
gods in Egypt. First one Happy, the other one Osyrus,

59
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:25,039
the other one. Canum see all of them? I won't

60
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,560
tell you all of the details. Maybe you can ask

61
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,360
in the community, like type in the community, give me

62
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,599
the list of the gods and you can get the

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,280
details there. But the message was the nile you worship

64
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:43,080
as life now has become death to you. So God

65
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,680
fires on those gods, the false gods, and then the plagues,

66
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,719
the plague related to the frogs. In Exodus, chapter eight,

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,919
verses one through fifteen, targeted the goddesses Hekket the goddess

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:02,159
Heket the message, the goddess of life multiplies death and

69
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,759
uncleanness because Hekat was the goddess of fertility in the

70
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:09,960
minds of the people. Then comes lice and gnats. In

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Chapter eight sixteen through nineteen. The gods that are targeted

72
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:22,480
are Geb, Geb the message from your sacred dust comes defilement.

73
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,639
Your gods can't stop it. Then come the flies Kepri

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,439
Kepri god fires on Kepri, your god of renewal, releases

75
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,519
swarms of filth and chaos, the god of or the

76
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:44,560
death of livestock. In Exodus nine, verses one through seven,

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:54,360
targeted gods appeas hethor Menevius, the message, your gods of

78
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,439
power and provision are struck down in the fields. Then

79
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,319
comes bul in verses eight through twelve, targeted gods Imhotep

80
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,879
segment the message you trust them to heal you, but

81
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:14,120
now you're covered in pain. Then comes hel God is

82
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,000
firing on noot, He's firing on shoe, He's firing on

83
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,279
tough nout, he is firing on. Isis the message your

84
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,399
heavens tremble and burn at my word? Then locusts in

85
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,519
Exodus chapter ten, verses one through twenty We're going somewhere

86
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,560
net pri again set therapists the message your food supply

87
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,720
and harvest gods are defenseless. Then comes the darkness in

88
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680
chapter ten, verses twenty one through twenty nine. The gods

89
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:53,319
that are targeted raw Horus. Even your greatest God can't

90
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:58,319
break my silence or light the sky. And then, of

91
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,240
course the death of the first born God is firing

92
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,639
on Pharaoh himself, Pharaoh himself. And then of course mean

93
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,519
isis best tet. No god, not even your divine in

94
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,600
air quotes King can stand before the judgment of the Lord.

95
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:21,480
So I know we ran through that, but that is

96
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,600
the reality. You want an introduction to the God of heaven.

97
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,720
Let me start by breaking down all of your gods

98
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,000
and letting you know that the God of the universe

99
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,600
has spoken. I told you in the beginning, let my

100
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,959
people go, let my son go, but you chose not to. Okay,

101
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:44,439
So now, yeah, now that we got all of that out,

102
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,439
how did that work for Pharaoh? It didn't It didn't.

103
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,000
And so when Pharaoh shall speak unto you spoke. This

104
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,600
is coming from Exodus chapter seven, verses eight through fifteen.

105
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,079
I'm leaving some of the parts of the text out.

106
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,879
But when Pharaoh sh I'll speak unto you, show a

107
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:06,920
miracle for you, Then thou shalt say unto Aaron, take

108
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,319
thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall

109
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,040
become a serpent. But Pharaoh shall also called his wise men,

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,160
and they did like manner with their enchantments, for they

111
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,839
cast down every man his rod, and it became serpents,

112
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,879
and Aaron's rods swallowed up their rods and hardened Pharaoh's heart.

113
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,399
There is so much that I need to say, but

114
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,240
so little time. So when we look at the serpents,

115
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:41,240
the serpents. Of course, when God did it, it was

116
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,160
true serpents, and when and when the people from Pharaoh

117
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:49,800
did it it was false. It was just sleight of hand.

118
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,839
But it's significant. It's significant because the rod was a

119
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:58,079
symbol of authority, a symbol of judgment, a symbol of

120
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,319
divine appointment. And then the serpent in this case, tanin

121
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,399
the Hebrew term is not a casual word for just snake.

122
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Tanin can refer to a dragon, a sea monster, a

123
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:16,199
powerful creature. It is significant. It suggests a cosmic power clash,

124
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:19,480
not just like a cheap trick like pulling a rabbit

125
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:21,879
out of a hat. Not that, not that. And so

126
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:29,399
when Aaron's rod swallowed the magician's rod or serpents, that

127
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,399
was God's warning shot, a visual prophecy of Egypt's complete defeat.

128
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,279
In this case, this is what was happening. The swallowing

129
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,879
of the magicians rods by Aaron's rod was a sign

130
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,200
of ultimate triumph. But Pharaoh saw only what he desired,

131
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,559
and so from the book Patriarchs and Prophets two hundred

132
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,720
and sixty four, the magician's work was not accomplished by

133
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,679
their own skill alone, but through the power of their

134
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,240
god Satan. Yet the work of An was superior. His

135
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:11,039
rod swallowed their rods. Had Pharaoh accepted the first miracle,

136
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,840
all others would have been unnecessary. But his resistance gave

137
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Satan permission to darken Pharaoh's mind further. There was just

138
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,120
so much more to say, But sometimes God shows you

139
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,759
something undeniable. It's a message, it's a miracle, it's a warning,

140
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:34,720
it's a conviction. In your spirit, and so when we

141
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:39,559
respond favorably, then we are transformed. But when we decide

142
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,360
to resist over time without repentance, then we're hardened.

143
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Don't be high for joining us listening friends. Always remember

144
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:51,159
we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word

145
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,120
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been

146
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,480
your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a

147
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,279
great day. Yeah,
