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
00:00:12,279 --> 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

study series themes in the Gospel of John, and our

16
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:56,560
caption for today, one of my favorites is I will

certainly come again. I will search lee come again. We'll

18
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:04,000
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,359
like to say thank you and welcome to everyone joining us,

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,400
especially those joining us for the very first time. I'm

00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:23,920

us this new day and for giving us the privilege

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,599
of waiting, waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ. I

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,480
pray that you will give us patience, that you will

34
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,959
give us determination, that you will give us a heightened

35
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:08,439
anticipation in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Yeah,

36
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,520
I'm just trying to gather my thoughts because Jesus's promised

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,319
that he will come again reverberates in my mind all

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,000
the way down here. In twenty twenty four. You see,

39
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,599
when Jesus was on planet Earth, his disciples were distraught.

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,360
When we consider in John chapter fourteen, they were distraught

41
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:34,039
because he was revealing more and more that he was

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,879
going to do exactly what he promised to do. The

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Bible says that he came to save his people from

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,159
their sins, and the only way for that to happen

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,240
is that he would give himself a ransom for many,

46
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,000
like he would be cut off, like Daniel chapter nine says,

47
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,759
at a certain time in this prophecy, in Daniel nine,

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,240
the seventy Weeks of Years prophecy, he would be cut off,

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,960
not for himself but for the people. Like he is

50
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,719
going to lay down his life and he is going

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,800
to also take it back up again so that we

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,879
can be saved. Okay. And so now that his disciples

53
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,000
are finally getting the memo that he is not going

54
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:19,960
to overthrow Rome, he is not going to be the

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,919
next king down on planet Earth. In fact, Jesus said

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,639
to his detractors, he said, if if this kingdom, if

57
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,800
my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, Ah,

58
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,840
my kingdom is not of this world. Yeah. And so

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,199
now they're finally getting the memo, and they're like, oh,

60
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:41,479
my word, like Jesus is actually going to die, He's

61
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,400
going to give him what's going to happen to us?

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Can you imagine now the distress in their minds? And

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,039
so Jesus understanding the mindset of human beings who are

64
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,479
finally managing there. Well, they're not managing they're really they

65
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,199
weren't managing their expectations. But is starting to click. Now,

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,759
wait a minute, the thing that we had hoped for

67
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,039
is not going to happen, and they're not able yet

68
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,800
to cross that barrier. That says, well, what Jesus promised

69
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,000
is better than what you had hoped for by a millionfold,

70
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:19,879
infinitely better than what you had desired. Is what Jesus

71
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,600
is preparing for you. So I'm thinking this is an

72
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:27,879
incredible welcome promised when God has not left us down

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,519
here to suffer. God has not left us down here

74
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,199
to suffer. And he's asking them, well, it's really he's

75
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,079
imploring them not to be troubled. He's telling them to

76
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,040
choose not to be troubled. Somebody at five minutes into

77
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,199
our broadcast this morning needs to hear the same message.

78
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,920
I need you to choose not to be troubled. When

79
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,639
you're not able to have that baby, dear brother and

80
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:59,720
sister you want to have so badly, Ah, leave it

81
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,720
in God. God's hands. Life is in God's hands. You

82
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,800
want to get pregnant, you want your children to see

83
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,839
the blessing of the love in your family, but you

84
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,480
don't have children yet. Don't let your heart be troubled.

85
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,879
I think Abraham and Sarah would have known what that

86
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,600
was like. Hannah would have known what that is like,

87
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,680
and others. Don't let your heart be troubled like when

88
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,800
the month is longer than your money and the bill

89
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,759
collectors are knocking on your door. Don't let your heart

90
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,720
be troubled like. He is going to come through when

91
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,319
you have faith in him. Don't let your heart be

92
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,000
troubled when your relationship seem to be falling apart. Let

93
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,000
not your heart be troubled as you are here saying God,

94
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,839
why is there so much suffering down here? Look at

95
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680
all of the injustice. God, are you watching? Don't let

96
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,600
your heart be troubled. Why not? Because I certainly will

97
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,879
come again. But in the meantime, He's going to come

98
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839
through for you. If you have faith in Him and

99
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,079
you trust in the process, he will come through for you. Now,

100
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,680
let me go ahead and read from John chapter fourteen,

101
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,600
and hear exactly what Jesus said, beginning at verse one,

102
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,040
Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God. See,

103
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:14,839
this is why we don't have to let our hearts

104
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,759
be troubled, because we believe in God. Believe also in me.

105
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,000
In my father's house are many mansions. So he is

106
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,600
taking the mindset of the broken believer whose trust was

107
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:31,360
in the wrong thing. He's taking their mindset to the

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,360
place where the power is. In his father's house are

109
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,519
many mansions. If it were not so, I would have

110
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,759
told you I go to prepare a place for you.

111
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,279
And if I go and prepare a place for you,

112
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:51,399
I will come again, not might. I will come again,

113
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,120
not might, and receive you unto myself that where I

114
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:02,800
am there ye may be also I'm preparing a place

115
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,879
for you. There are some of you who are lonely.

116
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360
You thought you had friends that really turned out to

117
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:12,360
be enemies. You have judases in your life. You have

118
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,079
been lonely all of your life because you're an introvert

119
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720
and you didn't know how per se to relate to people,

120
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
and nobody really sought you out to say, you know,

121
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:24,040
I see you, I value you. I see that you're

122
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,759
such a very helpful person, and you're very kind, and

123
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,279
you love to support people. But your voice is not heard.

124
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,319
But I still see you. There are people who did

125
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,680
not accept you like you are, and they wanted to

126
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,279
change you in order for you to fit into their

127
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,199
category of the kind of people they want to hang around.

128
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,600
And Jesus is saying, well, there's plenty good room in

129
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:49,040
the kingdom for you. There are mansions up there that

130
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,959
I am building and preparing for you. There are closets

131
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,120
for your clothes.

132
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Ah.

133
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,839
Speaker 2: There is land that has your name on it that

134
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560
you will develop as you see fit. And your mind

135
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,959
will not be limited, so you'll be able to do

136
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,079
whatever you want to do up there.

137
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:05,879
Speaker 1: M m.

138
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: And then he's going to give us the New Earth.

139
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:10,560
But he said, in the meantime, don't let your heart

140
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,360
be troubled. Even though you live in hudhouses now or

141
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:19,240
in some kind of projects or in a shelter. Right now,

142
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:24,399
you are in prison, unfortunately incarcerated, you're behind bars. Ah,

143
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,600
don't let your heart be troubled, because Jesus is preparing

144
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,559
a place for you. See, in the same way that

145
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,879
Jesus kept his promise prophetically that he would come the

146
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,960
first time, that in the fullness of time, God sent

147
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,159
his son made of a woman made under the law,

148
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,039
so that he could relieve the suffering and deliver those

149
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,279
who are bound by the outcomes of breaking the law,

150
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,000
so that we can become adopted children into the family

151
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:56,960
of God, in the same way that he did that,

152
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
in the same way that he lived on planet Earth

153
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,279
for three and thirty three and one half years, and

154
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240
prophetically we could see the three and a half that

155
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,759
public ministry, and the same way that that is our reality,

156
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,200
in the same way that the disciples could visibly visually

157
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:19,879
see Jesus going up into heaven. And the Angel said,

158
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:25,120
why stanjie gazing there up into the sky, This Saint Jesus,

159
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,960
who is going up, will in like manner come back

160
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:33,320
as ye have seen him go. Don't let your heart

161
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,559
be troubled. Why not, because I'm coming back for you.

162
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
And in the meantime I will be with you, and

163
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:41,120
I will give you the power of the Holy Ghost

164
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,639
to cope with whatever is going on while you ate. Peace.

165
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

167
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

168
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
