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
00:00:15,240 --> 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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,159

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, November ten,

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,880

study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,119
for today is Passover. Passover. Before we get into that,

17
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:00,359
I'd like to just say welcome to you. You to

and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,159
will get underway. Father, we do thank you for this

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,000
day and forgetting us thus far in our work week.

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640
We're on day number two. God, thank you for the

27
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:32,560
ability to do whatever it is that we've been called

28
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:37,400
to do. Please pass over our lives with those things

29
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,840
that are meant only for people who don't love you.

30
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:46,760
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again Passover Passover.

31
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:50,079
Type in the chat what the passover means to you?

32
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:55,000
What does the passover mean to you? If anything? And

33
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:58,480
if if nothing, or you don't understand, and type a

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,680
question mark like what what does the passover mean to you?

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,319
What the passover means to me, without even going into

36
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:13,120
the historic call context, is that when God is protecting me,

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,879
I said to me, so I asked you for you

38
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,280
for me. When God is protecting me from the things

39
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,800
that happened to his enemy, I am protected by virtue

40
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,520
of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. What qualifies me to

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,680
be covered, to be hidden from to be in God

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,800
in Christ as a refuge in the time of trouble

43
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800
is the fact that Jesus Christ gave his life for me,

44
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,919
and not only that, he gave his life for me.

45
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:51,360
And then as he went to sleep in the tomb

46
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,719
until the sabbath was finished, and he rose again took

47
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,479
up his life. On that Sunday morning. He then entered

48
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,800
into the heavenly sanctuary. And for however many years he's

49
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,800
been there. Since then he has been functioning as our

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,800
great high priest. Yes, there was a time before eighteen

51
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:16,960
forty four where was all about forgiveness, all about forgiveness,

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000
and now we are in the phase where it is

53
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:22,840
about all about cleansing, all about cleansing and reuniting us

54
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,919
with God in the fullest sense. And so when God

55
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,759
passes over us with the calamities that are judgments against

56
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,360
people who don't love Him, it is because we are

57
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,879
adopted as his children in the beloved Jesus Christ. I'm grateful,

58
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,520
I am grateful, and so and so. In this lesson

59
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,639
we go back to the Bible book of Joshua and

60
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,520
we learn a few a few lessons, a few lessons.

61
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,599
But our first lesson is coming in from Exodus chapter twelve.

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,719
I took you on a wild goose chain. My bad.

63
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,240
We're talking about Joshua. But We're going back to Exodus,

64
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,599
chapter twelve and verse six, and the Bible reads, and

65
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,400
ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the

66
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:14,960
same month, and the whole assembly of the Congregation of

67
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,360
Israel shall kill it in the evening, kill it in

68
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,839
the evening. Of course, we are, you know, really jumping

69
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,600
into the middle of the story. But the concept is

70
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:30,439
to remember before we advanced. So God's people stood on

71
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,759
the threshold of battle. Jerich Cole's walls loomed large, and

72
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,120
the danger was near. Yet before engaging the enemy, Joshua

73
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,600
led the people to celebrate passover. We went back to

74
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,639
the book of Exodus, and it was an intentional act

75
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:52,720
of remembrance. Before conquering new territory, they paused to remember

76
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,800
who had delivered them from bondage when the first born

77
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,639
of all in Egypt had to go. And God had

78
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,319
told the people to sprink to to to spread the

79
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,360
blood over the door posting on the lintel, and for

80
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,079
those who would come into the home that was covered

81
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,360
by the blood in the way that God had prescribed,

82
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,800
the Angel of Death would pass over instead of passing through.

83
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,319
And so this was a way for God's people to

84
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,680
commemorate the deliverance. The Passover wasn't simply a ritual. It

85
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,480
was a declaration that victory comes through redemption. Our true

86
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:40,199
read our true victory comes through the redemption. That is,

87
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,399
God paid the debt through Christ. He paid the debt

88
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,959
ah to to that we that we had to die

89
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,079
the second death because of our sin, so that we

90
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,399
could live eternal life. With eternal life. The same God

91
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,360
who brought them out of Egypt would lead them into Canaan.

92
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,680
When we face battle in life in twenty twenty five,

93
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,319
in the month of November and beyond. The first step

94
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,240
is not to fight harder, not to just grind brothers

95
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,920
and sisters, but to remember deeper, more deeply, Remember the Cross,

96
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Remember what Jesus did all the way back on Calvary.

97
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,959
Remember the covenant that God has made with his people

98
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,920
and kept through Christ for his people and the faithfulness

99
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,519
of God. And so the action step, apart from all

100
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040
the remembrance that I shared with you, is before tackling

101
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,800
your next challenge. I think I've said this to you before,

102
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:40,199
but now we spin it a little bit so we

103
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,360
can get a different perspective. We need a different facet

104
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,439
when we look at it from a different light. We say,

105
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,279
before tackling your next challenge, stop and thank God for

106
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,959
your past, for his deliverance of you in the past.

107
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,639
And then we can say gratitude precedes victory. I want

108
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,920
you to spy on God when you pray and when

109
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,680
you are asking God for something. I want you to

110
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
mark the time when you started to ask God for

111
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,720
whatever it was, and then when God gives you an answer,

112
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,560
whether it's yes or no. But when God gives you

113
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,319
his answer that will glorify him and will satisfy you.

114
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,720
M it will glorify him and will satisfy you. Once

115
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,199
He has done that, then in reality, I want you

116
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,360
to be the first to give thanks. I want you

117
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:39,480
to be spying. Is this it? He said? He said, yes, Okay, God,

118
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,040
thank you. I thank you for answering my prayer. Is

119
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,360
this it? Is this it? Oh? He said? No, God,

120
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:48,439
I thank you. I thank you for saying no, because

121
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,040
you know what best serves your calling on my life.

122
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:00,120
So thank you. Gratitude precedes victory. The second lesson is

123
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,079
is lamb. The lamb comes before the land. The Lamb

124
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,480
comes before the land. You weren't expecting that. In First

125
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:14,120
Corinthians chapter five and verse seven, the Bible reads, for

126
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:20,439
even Christ, our passover is sacrificed for us. You see,

127
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:25,079
the people of God's celebration of passover in enemy territory

128
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,639
symbolized their faith in the same blood that saved them

129
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,120
in Egypt, that would secure them in Canaan. All of

130
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:37,679
those years later, I can hear the song the blood

131
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,519
that Jesus shed for me way back on Calvary, The

132
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,600
blood that gives me strength from day today shall never

133
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,799
lose its power. The Passover always pointed to the lamb

134
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:54,600
of God, Jesus Christ, who frees his people from bondage

135
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,440
to sin at what we call the Last Supper. We

136
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,360
would probably not necessarily call it that. We would say

137
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:08,240
in our case it would be the Communion now, huh, Well,

138
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,399
whatever you call it, Jesus transformed the Passover into a

139
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,600
memorial of his sacrifice. Every time we reflect on the Cross,

140
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,799
we spiritually renew our covenant with the one who conquered death.

141
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:31,799
Our greatest victories flow from his special work, and so

142
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,320
the action step is to keep the cross in view,

143
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,440
keep God's cross in view, and then yield your will

144
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,960
when he shows you the way. Peace.

145
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening, friends, always remember we cannot

146
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

147
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

148
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
