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 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Sabbath. It's

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,039
May tenth, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:42,799
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,640
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,

14
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:49,920
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:54,560
lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:01,280
caption for today is Foundations for Prophecy. Foundations for Prophecy.

17
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,399
We'll get into that in just a moment, but first

18
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,000
I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,760
to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please

20
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:11,480
join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion

21
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,840
book at the appropriate time. I know it is Sabbath

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,920
in most places who are listening now, so we wouldn't

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,879
do that now. But for those who are later on,

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,159
you're later on in the day from my time here,

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,359
just go ahead and pick that up at your Daily

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,599
Portion dot com. This is one of the ways that

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,799
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's pray. Father,

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,040
we thank you for this Sabbath morning and for the

29
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:40,719
opportunity that you have entrusted to us to open your word.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,799
And I'm asking you to help us to become a

31
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:47,840
revelation of Jesus Christ. Help us to become a revelation

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,599
of Jesus Christ when we let our lights so shine

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,159
before people, that when they see your good are good works,

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,400
they glorify you who are in heaven. Father, Please in

35
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:07,920
Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Foundations for Prophecy.

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400
What we're going to do now is is jump right

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,800
in at Isaiah chapter six and verse eight. Isaiah chapter

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,479
six and verse eight, and we are coming into a

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,159
conversation that we will read and develop further throughout the week.

40
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:27,080
If the Lord sphear's life the coming week. But it

41
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,120
reads this way. Also, I heard the voice of the

42
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:35,120
Lord saying whom shall I send? And who shall go

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,560
for us? Then said I, this is Isaiah speaking. Before

44
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,919
it was it was the voice from heaven speaking? Who

45
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,800
shall go for us? Then said I here am I

46
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,199
send me? And so immediately I write in my notes.

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,039
I jotted down and read and read pen what drives

48
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:02,400
such a response. What causes as an individual to go

49
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,439
to go and speak for God? What motivates us to go?

50
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,599
And I need to personalize this. I need to be

51
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:15,840
asking myself the question what would cause me to go

52
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,479
wherever God leads? Where Thou leadest that I will follow? Like,

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,439
what would cause me to go? And let me just say,

54
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:29,120
it's not always easy to go. It's not always easy

55
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,439
to go. There are times that God sends us places

56
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:37,599
that were reluctant to go, sometimes to people who have

57
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:41,360
rejected His words and in this case been there were

58
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,719
people who were rejecting God's work, people that were supposed

59
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,919
to be God's people. And so sometimes when we raise

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,560
our hands and volunteer, sometimes during those personal ministries moments

61
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,879
in churches. It used to be lay activities when I

62
00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:01,000
was a young guy, lay activities, personal ministries guys, uh

63
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,319
uh moments pardon me? During those times when we're jumping

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,960
up and volunteering. I just need to say that there

65
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,560
are times that that that when we go, it's going

66
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:14,840
to be painful. But does it matter what drives? What

67
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,360
is the impetus of the response that says, I will

68
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,639
go where Thou leadest, I will follow. Now, now the

69
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,800
Bible teaches us, and we'll read about it tomorrow. If

70
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,240
the Lord Spear's life, the Bible teaches us that that

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,199
Isaiah was having a God encounter. God had given him

72
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,480
the privilege of coming into his presence and experiencing a

73
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:42,199
worship scene where even heavenly angels were there. And once

74
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,079
Isaiah was cleansed, it was a terrible time in God's

75
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,040
people's history. They had they had decades of really good

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,439
leadership from a particular king. Again, we'll talk about it

77
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,720
tomorrow from the Lord Spear's life. And then when he dies,

78
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,639
it's just like wha. The people are dejected, they feel

79
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,800
they feel out of sorts, and this is like what

80
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,680
in the world. And then God gives Isaiah this vision

81
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:08,319
to increase his connection with God. Even the prophet needed

82
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:12,759
an increase of connection with him. And then after the

83
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,839
prophet is cleansed, he realizes that now his work is

84
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:23,720
right before him, and he volunteers. Okay, so I'm oversimplifying

85
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,639
because we're going to cover this a little later. Let's

86
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,879
go into the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter four and

87
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,240
we'll read verse eleven. We alluded to it yesterday. Thou

88
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:39,399
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power,

89
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,879
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure

90
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:49,319
they are and were created. So what I want you

91
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:52,439
to do in light of the creative power of God,

92
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,600
he is He is the only one that is worthy

93
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,800
because of his create because he is creator. And you're like,

94
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,079
ok you're talking about the Father, you're talking about the Son.

95
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Both like God the Father, and God the Son, and

96
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,480
God the Holy Spirit. They all are creators. They're the creator. Okay,

97
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,720
They're one. They're creator. Okay. And because of this this power,

98
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,839
because of this power and the righteous character of God,

99
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:27,680
we have the privilege to worship. And I just say

100
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,959
that again, we have the privilege to worship. We have

101
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,519
the privilege of worshiping God because God is worthy of

102
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,800
our worship. How do we know He created us? Bible

103
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,879
says through Jesus Christ, he created all things. In John

104
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:47,399
chapter one Hebrews chapter one, we see Jesus as creator.

105
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:50,160
We see the Holy Ghost hovering over the face of

106
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,800
the deep. In Genesis chapter one, we see the creative

107
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,920
power of God, who solely and singularly has that power.

108
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,560
And this, among other things, is what makes God worthy

109
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,279
of our worship. Of course, we see in the next

110
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,079
chapter of Revelation that Jesus is worthy because he gave

111
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,399
his life for us. Okay, And so that is our

112
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,519
privilege to see God as creator and then begin to worship. Okay.

113
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:22,000
And Romans chapter three and verse twenty three, the Bible reads,

114
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,240
for all have sinned uh oh, and comes short of

115
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,319
the glory of God. So the one who created us

116
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:32,639
also has the law, his ten Commandments law. God has

117
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,879
given us his ten Commandments law. And every human being

118
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:40,600
ever born of a woman save Christ, with the exception

119
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:46,519
of Christ, has broken the law transgressed it, which means

120
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,560
that we're worthy of eternal death. In that case, well,

121
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:52,160
the same one who created us also gave us the

122
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:57,000
plan to redeem us from that error. From that eternal

123
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,360
death sentence. We are on eternal death until Jesus came

124
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,759
into our lives. You see the same one who said,

125
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,040
let there be light, and there was light, also said,

126
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
for God so loved the world that he gave his

127
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,240
only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

128
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,399
but have everlasting life. God didn't send his son into

129
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,079
the world to condemn the world, but that the world

130
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,959
through him might be saved. And so, since all of

131
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,360
us have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

132
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,480
and the same one who created us also now redeems us,

133
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,240
he's worthy of worship. Can I just say that again,

134
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,879
He's worthy of worship. Yes. So I want you to

135
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,120
reflect on a regular basis. I don't know if you

136
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:40,559
need to write it down. I don't know if you

137
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
keep it in your mind. You may use a voice recorder.

138
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,840
I don't know. But I want you to think about

139
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,039
God's character, write those things down that you discover in

140
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480
the scriptures, and then I want you to look for

141
00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:01,480
how his nature contrasts with mine. Yours always just and kind.

142
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,679
But I'm not. But don't get stuck there. What I

143
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,879
want you to do is embrace the plan of redemption

144
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:10,879
like He's not leaving us there. The Bible reads in

145
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:14,440
First Corinthians, chapter one and verse eighteen. For the preaching

146
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000
of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. But

147
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,480
unto you, I'm gonna say you. I'm pointing right at you.

148
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,639
But unto you and unto me, which are saved. It

149
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,279
is the power of God. So the one who created

150
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,879
us also redeems us. And when we fall short of

151
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080
his glory, he puts us on the pathway if we

152
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240
will yield our will to him so that we can

153
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,399
be saved by the power of God.

154
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: Make it a great silent thanks for joining us listening. Friends.

155
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

156
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

157
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make

158
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
