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
00:00:15,240 --> 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
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, September two,

11
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,399
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,039
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,759
where we give you God's word every single day and

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,200
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,000
study series with Lesson number ten through the Book of Mark,

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,439
and our caption for today is not one stone on another,

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,719
not one stone on another. Before we get into that,

18
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:04,599
I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480
to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

20
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,760
Please join our online community. I want you to pick

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,439
up the Your Daily Portion book and let us know

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,400
where you are in the world. At your Daily Portion

23
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:18,840
dot com. This is one of the ways that we

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,239
continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,

25
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,920
and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, Thank

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,359
you for this day and for getting us thus far

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,159
into our work week already. Thank you for new beginnings.

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,359
Thank you for giving us a perspective, your perspective, so

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,439
that we can be about your business and hasten the

30
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,159
coming of Jesus Christ. I pray that you will fill

31
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,400
us with your spirit and Jesus name, I pray Amen

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,879
and amen again, not one stone on another. Now this

33
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:58,280
is going to have, of course historical relevance, because of

34
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,280
course it was the people of God in Jesus's day

35
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:06,120
that he was speaking to, and they were getting close

36
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:11,039
to something that they couldn't be prepared for except that

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,719
they were full of the Holy Spirit. You see, he

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,719
knew that in thirty some years, and I know it

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,159
seemed like some time it would be far off, but

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,840
really sometimes these date these days and weeks and months

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,439
run off quickly. But he knew that in thirty some

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,840
years a crisis would hit his people that they could

43
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,360
only prepare for if they were full of the Holy Ghost.

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,879
And he was preparing them now, okay, and so not

45
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:44,639
one stone on another. Let me ask you a question.

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,199
It's a series of questions really, and it's something with

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,199
which we all need to contend. Where is your ultimate trust?

48
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Where is your ultimate trust? Is it in religious traditions

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,879
or relics? And I think during the COVID nineteen pandemic

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,120
we all had to really think that through every single

51
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,759
place in the world, All of God's people around the

52
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:12,680
world had to think through where is our ultimate trust?

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,919
Is it the way that we have done things for generations?

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:24,199
What is our trust really centered in religious institutions, relics, buildings,

55
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,400
our styles of whatever? Is it in relationships? Is it

56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,639
knowing the signs and the seasons? You know, sometimes when

57
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,439
we do our seminars and our preaching series, we are

58
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,240
so confident in the way that we present the truth

59
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,360
concerning the Last days and things that lead up to

60
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,439
the Last days and the different prophecies. Is our trust

61
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:51,400
in that or is it in the Holy Spirit? Do

62
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,280
we find our hope in our trust in God? And

63
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:58,879
then do we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit?

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520
I think the Bible says it's not by might, it's

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,520
not by power. It is it's by the Holy Spirit,

66
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,680
the power of the Holy Ghost. And so we read

67
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,199
now with that in our minds. Oh, actually, let me read.

68
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:15,280
Let me read a quote, and then we will read

69
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,319
from Mark chapter thirteen. The quote is coming in from

70
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,040
the book The Desire of Ages, page six hundred and

71
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,959
twenty seven, and it reads as Christ's attention was attracted

72
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,759
to the magnificence of the temple. Remember this is the

73
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,120
temple that took forty six years to build. They were

74
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,279
not playing when they built this temple. So yes, Christ's

75
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,800
attention was attracted to the magnificence of the temple. What

76
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,319
must have been the unuttered thoughts of that rejected one,

77
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,199
meaning Jesus. The view before him was indeed beautiful, But

78
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,279
he said, with sadness, I see it. All the buildings

79
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:04,160
are indeed wonderful. You point to these walls as apparently indestructible.

80
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,560
But listen to my words. The day will come when

81
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,560
there shall not be left one stone upon another, what

82
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,319
that shall not be thrown down. Now this is amazing

83
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,000
to the people of God, because sometimes their trust was misaligned.

84
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,639
They trusted in what they could see, They trusted in

85
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,199
their ingenuity, They trusted in the perspective that they had

86
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,360
about God's thoughts rather than God just telling them his

87
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:39,399
thoughts about a thing, and then they trust God. You see,

88
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,199
so we don't want to get caught up in the well.

89
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000
This is the way that we've always done it syndrome.

90
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,199
And so from Mark chapter thirteen, beginning at verse one,

91
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,879
the Bible reads, and as he went out of the temple,

92
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,759
one of the disciples set unto him, Master, see what

93
00:05:55,879 --> 00:06:00,879
manner of stones and what buildings are here? Disciples like,

94
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,079
look at this, this is amazing verse two. And Jesus, answering,

95
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,560
said unto him, seest thou these great buildings, there shall

96
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,240
not be left one stone upon the other that shall

97
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,759
not be thrown down? What verse three? And he, as

98
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,839
he sat down in the mount of Olives over against

99
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839
the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked

100
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:25,959
him privately, tell us when shall these things be? And

101
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,519
what shall be the sign when all these things shall

102
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,399
be fulfilled? And in fact, it says in the Book

103
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,920
of Matthew and shall be the signs of the end

104
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:37,920
of the world. Because it's like, if you're saying that

105
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,879
something's going to happen to that right there, then it

106
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,800
must be the end of the world, and so and

107
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,720
so verse five. And Jesus, answering them, began to say,

108
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,639
take heed, lest any man deceive you, or many shall

109
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,920
come in my name, saying I am Christ and shall

110
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:59,079
deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and

111
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:03,000
rumors of war, Bible says, be not troubled. This is

112
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,079
what Jesus said. You see, sometimes we in twenty twenty

113
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,759
four still trying to apply what Jesus said way back then,

114
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,720
like way back then, before thirty one a D. Like

115
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,680
before thirty one a D. We're trying to apply it,

116
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,160
apply it now. And so when we see certain countries

117
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,800
and nations warring against one another, sometimes we're still trying

118
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:31,319
to grasp at straws and apply things. And we do

119
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,639
the exact opposite of what Jesus said right here. And

120
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,399
sometimes we apply it in the exact opposite way that

121
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:40,839
Jesus told us to apply it. But here it goes.

122
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,079
And so when ye shall hear wars and rumors of wars,

123
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,399
he said, be not troubled. So why do we make

124
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:51,920
all these posts troubling posts like we can't read? Like

125
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,959
Jesus said, don't be troubled, for such things must needs be.

126
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
And then we get it mixed up, because then we're like,

127
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:02,399
these are the last days, and it is we are

128
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,319
living in the last days. We are living in the

129
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:10,879
last days. But not because not because of this, I

130
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,319
wish I had the time. We are living in the

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680
last days. Jesus will soon come. He will come in

132
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,000
our generation. This is the blessed hope. But the Bible

133
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,360
says here, but the end is not yet. This was

134
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:26,879
thirty four eighty. He's telling them when they see these things,

135
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,519
the end is not yet. For the nation shall rise

136
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,120
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There shall be earthquakes

137
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,399
in diverse places, and there shall be famines and troubles.

138
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,399
These be the beginnings of sorrow. So how do we

139
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,320
mix up? When he said these are the beginnings of sorrows,

140
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,799
and we say these are the last of sorrows. This

141
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,159
is what we say. We say, these are the last

142
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,440
of sorrows. But take keat unto yourselves, for they shall

143
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,360
deliver you up to councils and in the synagogues. You

144
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,399
shall be beaten, and ye shall be brought before rulers

145
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,879
and kings. For my sake, for a testimony against them.

146
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,480
So he's going to allow people to parade you around,

147
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,120
just like they had those mock trials after mock trials,

148
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,639
right before Jesus was crucified. Okay. And the Gospel must

149
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,639
first be published among all nations. See this is this

150
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,559
is the major sign of the coming of the Lord,

151
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,240
when the Gospel is published among all nations. But when

152
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:25,919
they shall lead you and deliver you up. Take no

153
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
thought beforehand of what you shall speak. Neither do ye premeditate,

154
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,960
but whatsoever shall be given to you in that hour

155
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,679
that speak, or it is not ye that speak, but

156
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,200
the Holy Ghost. I ask you again, where is your

157
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,200
trust in the signs and seasons or the Holy Ghost?

158
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 1: Peace? Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we

159
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

160
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

161
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
