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
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,359
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Friday, January seventeen,

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,679
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,640
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,119
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,640
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:54,759
study series God's Love and Justice, and our caption for

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,479
today is God fidens. I don't know. I think I

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,600
made it up. I think I made that word up.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
I don't know, but maybe somebody else did it before me.

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,079
God fidense. That is confidence in God. We'll get into

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,760
that in just a moment, but first I'd like to

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,280
say welcome to you and ask you to go over

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,200
to your Daily Portion dot Com on this preparation day

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,079
and pick up the Your Daily Portion Companion Guide. It

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,120
goes with this sable school lesson quarterly. Okay, pick that

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,519
up and also let us know where you are in

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,879
the world at your Daily Portion dot Com. This is

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,879
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,879
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then we

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,439
will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,400
us this new day and giving us just one more day,

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,879
one more step toward the Sabbath time. That is special.

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000
You have given us this holy time to set aside

33
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,079
in a way that we can connect with you unlike

34
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:55,560
any other day. And I just pray that we will

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,319
never lose focus, that we will always have our confidence

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,079
in You in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,719
again God fedense, God fedense. That's confidence in God. And

38
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,759
so today I want you to go to page fifty

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,759
one fifty one of the Your Daily Portion Companion Guide

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,599
and we're actually going to talk about it today. Talk

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,240
about it today, and we will deal with the personal application. Okay,

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:32,599
personal application, and let's begin. If you've never read in

43
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:36,639
our Companion guide, we use an acronym WIN. So let's

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,680
begin with W. What is important now, embrace your God

45
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:47,560
given worth. I need you to understand and believe that

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,159
the worth or the value that is placed on our

47
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:57,039
lives comes from God. Okay, embrace your God given worth

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,319
and reject negative self perceptions. Remember God values you so

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,120
much that he sent his son to redeem you, that is,

50
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:12,719
to buy you back from the devil so you can

51
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,000
be saved. I wish I had the time. This should

52
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,919
reshape how you see yourself and how you live every

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,680
single day. Okay, So that's what's important. Now. I internalize

54
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,000
that reality, that insight. Think about the areas where you

55
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,280
struggle with self esteem or doubt. Remind yourself that your

56
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:39,800
value is not based on external measures, but on God's

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,759
love and purpose for you. Choose to believe that God

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,199
said what God says about you rather than your own

59
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:53,719
negative thoughts. I wish I had the time and then

60
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,759
en Finally, what is the next best move? The next

61
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,039
best move is to invest a moment every morning to

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,479
declare a positive truth about yourself based on God's word.

63
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:07,879
And I'll give you an example. Because some people are like,

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400
I don't know, I don't know dave. Here it is.

65
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:15,199
Here's an example for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

66
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,199
This comes from Psalm chapter one hundred thirty nine and

67
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:24,279
verse fourteen. Let this affirmation replace any self doubt with

68
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,079
God fidets. I am fearfully and wonder wonderfully made by whom,

69
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:32,920
by God. You see where this is going. And so

70
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,839
the lesson writer is using is using for a quote

71
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:42,480
the book Desire of Ages, page six hundred and sixty eight,

72
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:47,680
and it reads, the Lord is disappointed. This isn't good.

73
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:52,399
The Lord is disappointed when his people place a low

74
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,800
estimate upon themselves. You see now why we were applying

75
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,079
what we were reading that way. He desires his chosen heritage.

76
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,920
That's you to value themselves according to the price he

77
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:11,000
has placed upon him. What is the price that he

78
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,839
placed upon you? What did he What was the value

79
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:19,240
of the sacrifice that God gave for you? Think about it.

80
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,319
Jesus is all of heaven in one gift. Jesus took

81
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,199
on human form and then allowed his humanity to suffer

82
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,360
and die what we understand to be the Second Death.

83
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:41,240
What an amazing sacrifice he risked his humanity, sinning like

84
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,199
his humanity could have sinned. What would that have done

85
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,680
to Godhead? If Jesus, in his humanity, God forbid, would

86
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,160
have sinned, would that have meant for the Godhead? So

87
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,240
the risk was incredible, like wow, but he has done

88
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,199
all of this, and we need to now say, okay, well,

89
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,040
if God was willing to do all of that and more,

90
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,519
then I am full of value. And so the Bible,

91
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,279
the Bible, I mean, the lesson continues. God wanted them,

92
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,879
else he would not have sent his son on such

93
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,120
an expensive errand to redeem them. He's talking about you,

94
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,920
he's talking about me. He has a use for them,

95
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:34,040
and he is well pleased when they make every make

96
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,720
very highest demands upon him that they may glorify his name.

97
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,439
So you don't go to God with those tiny little

98
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:46,759
prayers and then give him an escape route if that's possible,

99
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,879
and make it seem as if well, God, if you

100
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,439
don't want to do it, then it must not have

101
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,800
been your will. Well, maybe we should really be pressing

102
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,759
Heaven and asking for the largest possible things where our

103
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120
faith can lay hold upon the promises of God. Like

104
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,319
Eli Shah said, I want double of the power, double

105
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,959
of the Holy ghost that you had Elijah. He pressed

106
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Heaven about this. You see, he didn't speak or pray

107
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,240
tiny little prayers. I want double. I know, I know

108
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:21,680
you're about to go to heaven and you will only

109
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,079
have been the second person I know of to go

110
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,720
to heaven without tasting death, like who won't need to

111
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,439
be resurrected. You are being translated. I get it, But

112
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,600
I want double the power that you had. You see

113
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920
what I mean? This is what God wants. It pleases

114
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480
him when we do this. Let me read it again.

115
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,879
He is well pleased. He is well pleased when they,

116
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,639
meaning us make the very highest demands upon Him that

117
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,959
they may glorify his name. Don't forget that part. So

118
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,759
when you're asking for that raise at your job or

119
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:59,519
that business success, it's to glorify him. When you are

120
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,399
begging God to deliver that child of yours, that son,

121
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,199
that daughter from the hands of the enemy, it is

122
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,040
to glorify him. When you are asking God to help

123
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:12,680
you to be more healthy, and maybe you're struggling with

124
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,839
your weight or your perception of your weight. Maybe your

125
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:18,759
weight isn't in challenge at all, but you perceive because

126
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,480
you have dysmorphic thoughts. When God delivers you. It is

127
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,319
to glorify him. Let me keep reading. They may expect

128
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:32,200
large things if they have faith in his promises. But

129
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,200
to pray in God's name means much. See, we pray

130
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,679
in God's name, but it means much. It means that

131
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,080
we are to accept his character. Are you accepting his character?

132
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:45,600
Brothers and sisters in your life manifest his spirit? Are

133
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,440
you manifesting his spirit?

134
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Like?

135
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: When people see you, do they see the power of

136
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:54,320
God at work? Huh, his work and work his works.

137
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,480
The Savior's promise is given on condition if ye love me,

138
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:02,840
he says, keep my commandments. He saves men not in sin,

139
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,399
but from sin, and those who love him will show

140
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:13,840
their love by obedience. And the quote continues. So let's

141
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,799
close right here. Do you have the kind of confidence

142
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,559
in God? I'm talking about the brand of confidence that

143
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,240
lays hold upon the promises of God that won't take

144
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,080
no foreign answer. That you're like Jacob who was wrestling

145
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120
with God and he said, I will not let you

146
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,720
go until you bless me no matter what happens. We

147
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:42,120
see we can have confidence in God so that we

148
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,720
can be saved. Peace.

149
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember We cannot

150
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

151
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

152
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
