Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning, it's Monday. It's July
twenty eight, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and our
caption for today is Healing the Body. Healing the Body.
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say
welcome to our one joining us, especially those joining us
for the very first time. Please go over to your
Daily Portion dot com and join our online community, or
pick up your Daily Portion book. I shouldn't say, or
and uh pick up the Your Daily Portion book and
let us know where you are in the world at
your Daily Portion dot com. This is the one way,
this is one of the ways that we continue to
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and
then we will get underway. Father, Thank you, Thank you
for giving us the privilege of prayer. Thank you for
giving us the privilege of knowing what your thoughts are
on anything that's important down here, and for giving us
the privilege of being able to do what you would
you want us to do. Please please help us actually
do it in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Yep.
So healing, healing the body, healing the so much we
need to say here. I'm looking at the lesson and
looking at my notes so much we need to say.
So let me just jump in with some lessons and
see if there's some more time. We'll talk about some more, okay,
And so our first lesson comes in from Exodus, chapter
twelve and verse three. Exodus chapter twelve and verse three,
I'll read it from the New English translation. Tell the
entire community of Israel, or the congregation, in the tenth
day of this month, they each must take a lamb
for themselves, according to their families. And this is a
lesson for us that before any breakthrough, anything that happens
as we are being delivered from whatever it is. Are
they besetting sins? Are they relationships that we shouldn't be in?
Is it some other thing? Is it an old mindset?
Is it a broken mindset that we've been bound by
or bound too. Before any breakthrough, prioritize worship. Prioritize worship.
Put him first, Put worship of the most High God,
Blessed be his name. The one who hears your groanings,
the one who sees where you are, the one who
knows that you're in whatever trial or tribulation you are experiencing,
or or if you're not experiencing something negative, but you
are just on the edge of your next level in
terms of success. You have experienced some success in the past,
and it's time to go up to the next level.
Is it in ministry, is it in your profession, Is
it in your business? Is it in the impact that
you're making or influence that you have on the people
around the world or in your community. You're going to
the next level before any breakthrough. It doesn't matter what kind.
If you are a mother who is about to give
birth to a child. Before every breakthrough, any breakthrough of
any time, hype. The first thing is that we prioritize
worshiping the Most High God, Blessed be his name. Start
every transition in your life by honoring God and his instructions. Yeah,
we have to apply this stuff, y'all. We can't just
look in the past and see if we can get
all of the sacrifices correct and all of that. Once
we've done that, how do we apply it to us.
We don't offer sacrifices anymore. There is no more passover.
Even after we have had our communion services at our churches,
there is still more that we need to understand. Lessen
number two. The blood of the lamb is the only
protection against judgment. God through the blood, and the Bible
reads here in Exodus, chapter twelve and verse thirteen. And
when I see the blood, I said, The Bible says,
when I see the blood, God speaking, when I see
the blood, are you covered in the blood of Jesus Christ? Yes?
I know that for some of you this is a
new concept, Like what does this blood mean? It means
that Jesus took the death that I deserve. Fill in
your name here. He took the death that you deserve.
He laid down his life. He took the death that
you deserve as if he were guilty when he was not,
so that you and I can live the life that
he deserves. Do you understand? And so when Jesus shed
his blood for me, when I see the blood, the
Bible says, I will pass over you. That means that
the plague, the plague will not destroy you. When the
death angel comes through, I will skip over the place
where you are because you are covered in the blood.
When I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and this plague will not fall on you to destroy you.
So plead the blood. That's the action step today, the blood.
Plead the blood over everything that you have, everything you own,
you're a steward of You are responsible for every human
that you are encountering. Plead the blood of Christ over
your household, especially and primarily every single day, and say, God,
cover us, cover us in your righteousness. God. Jesus gave
his life for us so we can be successful in
our humanity. We can be successful over the sin predicament
that we're in. We can be successful over poverty. We
can be successful over an impoverished and emboldened or emboldened mindset.
Sometimes people are proud. We can have success over pride
by humbling ourselves before you cover us in the blood God,
the blood still speaks life and protection. Yeah. For those
of you who are thinking, oh, that's melodramatic, what do
you mean by the blood speaks, well, yeah, I mean
when King destroyed his brother Abel, when God confronted him,
he said that I can hear the blood of Abel
crying out from the air. And so if that's the case,
righteous Abel's blood cried out from the earth, could it
be that the blood of Jesus Christ yells and shouts
and cries out and says, please come under this banner,
Come under this banner and be saved. I have given
Jesus speaking my life for you so that you can
live with me eternally. Yeah, plead the blood and lesson
number three coming in from Exodus, chapter twelve and verse fourteen.
And this day shall be unto you a memorial. Let
me say it another way. This day will become a
memorial for you, and you will celebrate it as a
festival to the Lord. You're going to commemorate this time.
You're going to mark the time and the date as
God is delivering you, as you are being covered under
the blood. I remember when I gave my life to God.
It was in the month of November in nineteen ninety
five at the Farmer Alexandria Seventh day Adventist Church, the
Community Praise Center Church. That's when I got baptized. I
think they have a new name now. And it was
that day that I now commemorate as the day that
God showed me in a way that I could understand
that it was yes to me that I am now
adopted in the beloved Jesus Christ. I am covered under
His blood, and I now can live the life that
He has anticipated from before, ordained, not anticipated, ordained from
before there was a beginning. Now I can live according
to the principles of God. Why because I'm covered in
the blood. Yes, I commemorate the time, and so you
now and me too. Don't just remember what God did.
Don't just remember it. That's good, but great is to
continue to rehearse it, to practice it in your present
day experience. Celebrate His goodness in your family and community
day untoday, moment unto moment, year, unto year, decade after decade,
and beyond. Every moment that God has entrusted in your
life to you in your life is a moment to
not just remember what He did in the past, but
to live presently under that power. Under that power. And
so as Moses rehearsed to Israel the provisions of God
for their deliverance, the people bowed the head and worshiped.
Do you worship God because of his goodness? I sure
hope you do. Make it a great day, peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day, yeah,
