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 --> 00:00:27,359
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 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning, it is Tuesday. It's

11
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:40,079
June seventeen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,640
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,119
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,240
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,079
lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our

16
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:59,359
caption for today is Worship the Image again. Worship the

17
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,600
Image again. We'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,159
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,799
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

20
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,719
Please join our online community. Please please pick up the

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Your Daily Portion Life Application Guide. Also, please let us

22
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,239
know where you are in the world at your Daily

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Portion dot com. This is one of the ways that

24
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:26,319
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead

25
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:29,120
and pray, and then we will get underway. Father, We

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,079
thank you for this day. Please help us to worship you.

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,959
That's it. Thank you in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,239
and Amen again. What I need you to do, and

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,239
this is for me as well, is to search for

30
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:49,760
and pray for or pray for and search for Godly solutions.

31
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,560
We are so good at identifying problems. Ask God for

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,799
solutions in all things in life, especially during these times

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,959
of crisis. When there are crises, we don't have to

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,400
just continually or incessantly identify the problem. Look at all

35
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
of these things that are going wrong in the world.

36
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,680
Look at all of the ways that some leaders are

37
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,680
doing things in the wrong way that are contrary to

38
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:20,800
God's will. Look at what they have done in history.

39
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,840
Once we have done that, then what you see. So

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,319
our search and our focus should be for God's solutions.

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,360
We are very good at identifying the problems. Now, let's

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,120
go ahead and see some more of the connection from

43
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:43,680
Daniel three to the Book of Revelation, especially in chapter thirteen.

44
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:46,800
So let's start with revelation this time, and we're going

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,879
into chapter thirteen, verses eleven through seventeen. But I'll just

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,120
read a little bit of it, and it reads and

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,039
he had power to give life unto the image of

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,599
the beast. We're not doing a prophecy series, and in

49
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,879
just seven or ten minutes, we can't make it all

50
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,639
make sense. So again, go to Sabbathtruth dot org dot

51
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,520
com and get understanding concerning this particular thing. Look for

52
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,759
the mark of the beast and the change of the Sabbath,

53
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:18,919
et cetera, and you'll get what you need here. And

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,639
had power to give life unto the image of the beast,

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680
and cause that as many as would not worship the

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,000
image of the beast should be killed. Okay, And so

57
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,120
when the state, and I'm saying this around the world,

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,520
but it starts. It starts in the United States. But

59
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:43,479
when the state enforces worship that contradicts God's will, like

60
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:48,560
Babylon of old, civil power will be used to push

61
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,280
false worship, targeting those who refuse to bow. So that's

62
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,240
identifying the reality. But what do we need to do today?

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,319
I'm talking about on the seventeenth day of June. Well,

64
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,680
we have the privilege to daily build courage in our

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,240
small decisions. I'm talking about right now. So you're ready

66
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,199
to stand when the stakes are high, when God gives

67
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,399
you the opportunity to be kind to someone who has

68
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,040
been disrespectful to you, When God gives you the opportunity

69
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,519
to be honest, when the boss is entrusting certain things

70
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:28,480
to you, honest with your time. Yes, that is the

71
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,639
opportunity to stand tall and not bow to the enemy. Yes,

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,399
even those pens that you see in the supply closet,

73
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,279
are they your pens? If not, they must not find

74
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:42,199
their way into your bag, your pocket, your purse, into

75
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,720
your car, and back at your house, writing on the

76
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:47,560
table with your child as you help him or her

77
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:51,519
with her homework. You see, on those small decisions we

78
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,879
get to either stand tall in favor of God, or

79
00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:02,319
to bow and turn our backs on God. Revelation Chapter fourteen,

80
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:06,360
verses nine, eleven and twelve, we see that if any

81
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:10,560
man worship the beast and his image, this is now,

82
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,240
this is where it really hits the fan and his image,

83
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,959
He shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.

84
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,279
Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they

85
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:26,360
that keep the commandments of God and have the faith

86
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
of Jesus. See in Isaiah chapter fifty six, we see

87
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,480
a set of people who keep covenant with God and

88
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:38,079
keep the Sabbath holy to demonstrate that we believe that

89
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,839
God is true and every person is a liar. Yes,

90
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:45,240
And those individuals, the Bible says, will have a name

91
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:48,000
that is better than of sons and of daughters. This

92
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,480
is a name that will remain forever. It is because

93
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:55,680
God's house is called the house of prayer for all people.

94
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,800
But covenant keepers are keepers of the faith of Jesus.

95
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,680
They have the kind of faith Jesus had. They receive

96
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,920
the faith that Jesus is the author and finisher of.

97
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,639
And the outcome of this is that we begin and

98
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:14,920
continue to keep the commandments of God. I'm talking about

99
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:19,160
the ten commandments that God thundered ominously. Maybe that's not

100
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,639
the best word. That sounded melodramatic. From Mount Horeb or

101
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,519
Mount Sinai, inscribed and blazoned by the finger of God

102
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,079
on those sapphire tablets. Oh, somebody was like they were

103
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120
sapphire in color. Yeah, they were sapphire and color. They

104
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,839
were not gray or beige. Forget the stuff you see

105
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,879
on the TV. I wish I had the time, and

106
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,920
it was actually taken from the stone that was the

107
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:48,000
throne of God. Ooh, you're going to research it now.

108
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,480
You're going to research it now. But the lesson is

109
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:54,600
that there is a final line of division. Either you

110
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,920
worship the beast or remain loyal to Jesus by keep

111
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,720
being the commandments of God by faith. It's simple. He said,

112
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:07,199
if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. I promise

113
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,959
you that if you receive the love that I am,

114
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,800
then I will give you the ability to keep the commandments.

115
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:19,160
That is the new covenant that God made with his people,

116
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,839
that he would write his laws in our hearts and

117
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,399
on our minds so that we live like He would

118
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,920
give us the power to live. And so the action

119
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,240
for today is don't wait for a crisis to start obeying.

120
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,800
Root your life in God's word today at this moment,

121
00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:39,319
especially the Sabbath, which is at the heart of this controversy.

122
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,600
We're talking about not elevating the Sabbath above everything that

123
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,879
God had said, but the heart of this particular controversy

124
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,720
is the Sabbath that he said is a sign that

125
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,480
he is the one that sanctifies us. Revelation, chapter sixteen

126
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,160
and verse two. The Bible reads here and the first

127
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720
wen and poor out his viile, talking about those angels

128
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,959
that are pouring out those plagues. Right, and there fell

129
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,800
a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had

130
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,399
the mark of the beast. The people who chose to

131
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:16,120
turn their backs on what God said and to bow

132
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,399
to what the enemy had been teaching since way back when,

133
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,800
when people felt that they could change times in the

134
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,920
law of God and to replace the Seventh day Sabbath

135
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:34,279
with other paradigms, to remove in their minds the God

136
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000
of Heaven off of his throne. The Bible says, at

137
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,240
some point, yeah, they're going to have to pay. And

138
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:44,679
so the lesson is those who follow man's authority over

139
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:48,600
God's will cannot avoid the consequences. You can't do it.

140
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,159
Earthly comfort is temporary. God's justice is our reality. Are

141
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,679
we going to be found faithful, being covered by the

142
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:02,159
righteousness of Christ? Or found because we have decided to

143
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,759
take off the covering and do our own thing? Because

144
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,200
Mama and em did it, Daddy and them did it Grandma,

145
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:12,159
grand Grandpa taught us the wrong way. The action is,

146
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:21,360
don't trade eternal safety for temporal temporal temporal security. Don't

147
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:29,000
trade eternal safety with God for temporary security. Choose principle

148
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,600
over popularity. There's so much more. But God vindicates the faithful.

149
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,200
He vindicates his people Revelation chapter twenty and verse four. Ultimately,

150
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,559
as we are with God in heaven for a thousand years,

151
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,879
and then he gives us the earth made new.

152
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

153
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

154
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

155
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
