1 00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, 2 00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879 because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240 today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400 portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199 us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280 to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today 7 00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,399 and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives. 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879 Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker, 9 00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079 Elle David Harris. 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,799 Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Monday.

Lord, thank you for giving us the clear 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,599 and new understanding of who you are in our lives. 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,120 And Father, we need more. We need to be filled 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680 with your Holy Spirit and be able to reach out 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,840 into the world with the power that you have entrusted 35 00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:02,319 to us can get to know you. Father, Please teach 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,879 us to embrace this. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 37 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:11,599 and Amen again. Okay, So a new understanding of Messiah 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,639 I need to I need to really kind of walk 39 00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:18,919 into this and not run. Walk and not run, because 40 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,919 a new understanding of Messiah may be may be a misnomer. Okay, 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240 and this is what I mean by it. When Jesus 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,879 was teaching as he lived on planet Earth, he said, 43 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,599 a new commandment I give unto you. And what was 44 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,360 the new commandment Jesus to love one another? Well, was 45 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:40,319 the commandment to love? Was it new? Well? No, but 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,639 it was new to the people who were who were listening, 47 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:46,960 not as if they had not known or heard it before. 48 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,800 But they never put it into practice. They did not 49 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,599 live a consistent life of the godly love in practice. 50 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840 This is what made it quote new, okay. So it's 51 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,120 a paradigm shift, a new mindset. But they understand. They 52 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,439 knew what love was, they knew what godly love was. 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,759 They knew what it was like to love, but they 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,879 did not practice it, and therefore it was new, okay. 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680 And so the same with a new understanding of Messiah. Listen, 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,680 the Bible was clear, like there was no reason for 57 00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:26,919 any of God's people to be confused because the prophecies 58 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,520 were very clear his coming. The Messiah's coming had nothing 59 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,159 to do with overthrowing Roman rule. It had nothing to 60 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,960 do with creating a new civil order. It never had 61 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,960 anything to do with insurrection, you understand. And in some 62 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,919 of our societies we need to understand that that is this, 63 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400 that is still the reality where Jesus is concerned. He 64 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:59,039 always gave his people the mandate to cause wherever they 65 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,400 lived even when they they were in Babylonian captivity, when 66 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,360 they were under let's call it a chastisement by God. 67 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,879 He said that even while you are in this chastisement, 68 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,759 I have you in captivity. I have given them a 69 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,800 boundary that they could not pass with you. You cause 70 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:22,040 where you are to prosper while you were there, do 71 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,560 not overthrow it. There is no insurrection, there is no mutiny, 72 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,399 like there is no revolution. You will do what I 73 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,680 teach you to do to get into the hearts and 74 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:39,600 minds of people. So though those people can be transformed, 75 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,160 have their minds renewed, and now become citizens of the 76 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,879 heavenly kingdom. You see Jesus taught. And I'll get to 77 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600 the text in a moment. But Jesus taught, like, if 78 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,920 my kingdom were of this world, then would my people 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,519 my servants fight. But this is not the world that 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,360 we are trying to overcome in the sense of some 81 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,360 kind of civil unrest or disorder. No, we're not changing, 82 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,000 and I am not becoming the king of this planet 83 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,800 as it is today. Okay. And so in John chapter one, 84 00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:16,079 God's people should have already known this, because the prophecies 85 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,879 were clear I just want to reiterate that that the 86 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:23,240 Bible says here beginning at verse thirty two, and John 87 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:27,560 bear record saying, I saw the spirit, that's the Holy Spirit, 88 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,079 descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him, 89 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:36,120 and I knew him not. And so John is giving 90 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:40,240 his experience. It's not like he and John were at 91 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:45,480 you know, having some tea, and then they both said, okay, well, 92 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,120 it's time to go ahead and fulfill the prophecy of 93 00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:52,680 Daniel chapter nine. And we're going to you know, position 94 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,959 you so that you will be anointed by Christ. No, no, no, no. 95 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,399 John knew he was the forerunner. He knew that he 96 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,279 was to set the pace and prepare the way for 97 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,800 Messiah to come. But now it is time, like it's 98 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,360 the point of critical mass. There is an intersection. And 99 00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:14,680 he said, I knew him not. But he that sent 100 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,680 me to baptize with water, who sent him, God our Father, 101 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,519 who sent Jesus into the world not to condemn the world, 102 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,360 but to save us. The same God our father. And 103 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:33,040 so they have the same father who is now driving 104 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,079 the mission. And he said the same said, unto me 105 00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:42,360 upon whom thou shalt see the Holy Spirit descending and 106 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:47,720 remaining on him. The same is he which baptizeth with 107 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,360 the Holy Ghost. So John was on notice. He was 108 00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:57,000 awaiting the sign to fulfill the prophecy of the anointed One. 109 00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,079 And I saw verse thirty four, and bare record that 110 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,000 this is the Son of God. Again the next day 111 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,000 after John stood right, so the baptism of Jesus had 112 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,920 already happened. 113 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Ha. 114 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,759 Speaker 2: The voice of God had already been heard from heaven 115 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,360 that says, this is Ah, my beloved son, in whom 116 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:24,040 I am well pleased. And now the next day John 117 00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:28,319 stood in two of his disciples, and looking upon Jesus 118 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:34,279 as he walked, he saith, behold, that's him. Behold the 119 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,959 Lamb of God. How did he know? Because he saw 120 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000 the power of the Holy Ghost on his life. He 121 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,000 saw the actual sign of the Spirit of God coming 122 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,079 and descending upon him like as of a dove, and 123 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:49,759 lighting upon him. He heard God, our Father say and 124 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,199 put his stamp of approval upon Jesus. And now as 125 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,920 he's walking. 126 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:54,399 Speaker 1: Ha. 127 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:57,519 Speaker 2: John wants people to rejoice with him because he's like, 128 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,680 this is the Messiah of whom we have in wait, 129 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,639 for whom we have been waiting This is the Messiah 130 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:08,720 about whom the prophets did speak, Behold the Lamb of God. 131 00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:10,759 He is the one who's going to take away the 132 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,399 sins of the world. And of course, in the Jewish economy, 133 00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:17,480 this concept of the Lamb of God means he is 134 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,720 the ultimate sacrifice. He is the one to whom all 135 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,360 of the sanctuary system of sacrifices and the priesthood on 136 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:32,159 earth pointed. Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of everything that 137 00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:39,240 God showed. Moses and subsequent peoples write about how salvation 138 00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:44,320 would happen, through whom salvation would happen, for what purpose 139 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:49,200 salvation would happen. Jesus is the walking reality of salvation 140 00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:54,000 by faith. We are so thankful because that's the reality today. 141 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,519 That is the reality today. Like we need to not 142 00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:01,159 have a new understanding and the sense that it never 143 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,320 came to us before, but we need to now actually 144 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,240 apply it when we are at our jobs. We're not 145 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 looking to take over. We're not looking to take over. 146 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,639 We are looking to be fully to be filled with 147 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,360 the Holy Goost, so that when we have the opportunity 148 00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:21,519 to influence our workplaces for Christ, then we can also 149 00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:24,919 direct people to Jesus Christ, who takes away our sins huh. 150 00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:29,320 When we are at play, or on vacation, or in 151 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,159 some other place where we are consulting, Jesus wants to 152 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,600 have such an impact on us that when we direct people, 153 00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,360 we're directing them to the one who's not taking over, 154 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,440 but to the one who wants to transform their lives. 155 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,720 Make it a great day, peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. 156 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by 157 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679 every word that comes from the mouth of God. This 158 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200 has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make 159 00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279 it a great day. Yeah.
