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 --> 00:00:15,080
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,

Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again reappearing themes glory. Okay,

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,400
And so if my friend Norman I talk to you

36
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,400
about him, I call him my baby brother. Really, since

37
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:12,199
my name is David, I call him Jonathan because we

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,759
have a special bond. Right. So if Jonathan we're here

39
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:17,680
right now with me, I wouldn't be able to get

40
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,159
a word in edgewise because he is enamored by the glory.

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Jonathan loves the glory of God, and so do I.

42
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,159
But he has a unique and special love. So big

43
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:35,439
shout out to you, Jonathan, and I know you're jumping

44
00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:37,879
all over the place if you're hearing this at this moment.

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,280
And so we begin now from the Bible Book of John,

46
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:44,080
chapter seventeen, and I will read beginning at verse one,

47
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:48,439
and the Bible reads these words spake Jesus and lifted

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800
up his eyes to heaven, and he said, Father, the

49
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,759
hour has come. Glorify thy son, that thy son also

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,479
may glorify thee. And so what God, God the Son

51
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,800
is saying to God the Father is, we have done

52
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,919
good work down here, Father, and now I need you

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,240
to manifest yourself through this experience in a way that

54
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:16,960
will transform as many people as possible. You know what's

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
interesting about it. Jesus was preparing to give his life

56
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,000
on the cross, to lay down his life for the

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,879
sins of every human being who has lived or ever

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,800
will live. You see. And this is a manifestation of

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,360
the glory because because God loved us so much that

60
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:39,560
he gave us Jesus Christ. And so the fullness or

61
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,360
the fullest demonstration of that love is in Christ giving

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400
his life for us. This is not something that human

63
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:49,719
beings can do. This is not something that ordinary human

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
beings can do. It took God in the flesh to do.

65
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,319
And that would be the fullest manifestation of the love

66
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,159
and power of God, the brightness of his love to

67
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:04,639
shine into the earth, so that hopefully more and more

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,080
brothers and sisters will be saved, when men, women, boys

69
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,080
and girls to be saved by God. And so the

70
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,399
hour is now come. Father, glorify your son, so that

71
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,240
that glory can also show honor to you, to show that,

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800
to show that you could not just stand and watch

73
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:30,680
us die down here verse two. And thou hast given

74
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,519
him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal

75
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,399
life to as many as thou hast given him. Can

76
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,600
I just say this plenty good room in the kingdom

77
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,079
of a relationship with God, Like there's plenty good room

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,160
for people to be saved and transformed by the renewing

79
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,000
of our mind, to be saved by God. There is

80
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,560
plenty good room in the kingdom. And he said it's

81
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,600
unlimited verse three. And this is life eternal. They might

82
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:05,759
know thee You see, sometimes people try to intellectualize this thing.

83
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,199
Sometimes people try to make it more complicated than it

84
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,560
really is. If you want to know what eternal life is,

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,040
it's knowing God. It's a relationship, an intimate relationship with God.

86
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,560
How does God think and feel about us? What is

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240
it that he would have us to do? How would

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,759
he have us to relate to the person who needs food?

89
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:28,199
How would he have us to relate to the person

90
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,720
who just needs a listening ear? How does God want

91
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,920
his love to be manifest through our lives so that

92
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,120
others can be saved? This is eternal life, that they

93
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:44,639
may know THEE, the only True God, and Jesus Christ,

94
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,759
whom Thou has sent. I have glorified THEE on the earth.

95
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:52,040
That is, when people saw Jesus living on planet Earth,

96
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:54,399
they saw what he did and did not do. They

97
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:58,399
saw how his compassion looked. How they saw the transformative

98
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:03,240
power the sick, raise the dead, delivered people from the

99
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:08,759
enemy's hands his grip. When people saw that, they were like, Oh,

100
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,720
that's what God is like. When they saw the love

101
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,800
in his eyes, they said, oh, that's what God is like.

102
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,800
And so what God really wants for us is to

103
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800
be a manifestation of the same I wish I had

104
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,639
the time. I have glorified THEE on the Earth. I

105
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,399
have finished the work which thou hast given me to do.

106
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:32,160
And now, O God, O Father, glorify thou me with

107
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,959
thine in thine own self, with the glory which I

108
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,000
had with THEE before the world was. Jesus is saying,

109
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,680
the mission on planet Earth is nearly done. We are here.

110
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680
I manifested your power, I manifested your character. I am

111
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,920
powered people so that they can be saved. And I'm

112
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:56,040
about to give my life. Finally, I'm going to die

113
00:06:56,079 --> 00:07:00,040
on the cross and save people from their sins. And

114
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,079
you just let me come back up there. I want

115
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,759
to come back up to heaven and live in the

116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,079
way that I lived before I took on human flesh,

117
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:14,959
the fullness like the Manifestation, not limited by humanity anymore,

118
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,160
not needing to be hungry, not needing to get tired,

119
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:23,879
not needing to suffer through physical pain anymore, the fullness

120
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,839
of who I was from before there was a beginning?

121
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,519
Can we get back to that? Because I finished my

122
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,920
work on planet Earth, and I love it because it

123
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:39,319
shows that God accomplishes his goals. He accomplishes his goals,

124
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:42,360
so you can accomplish your goals. You don't have to

125
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:44,959
just sit there and say, why I keep I keep failing?

126
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Why do I keep doing the negative or wrong thing?

127
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:49,639
Why am I still bound?

128
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: No?

129
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,279
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no. Jesus manifested the truth. He showed

130
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,720
us that we can actually accomplish the goals that he blesses.

131
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Wish I had the time. Let's go ahead here and

132
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,519
talk about seven lessons that we can draw from this

133
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920
truth that we just read in John chapter seventeen. The

134
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,720
first one comes from the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter three

135
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:16,519
and verse one. To every thing, there is a season,

136
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:20,480
a time to every purpose under the sun. And so

137
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,680
we see the time that Jesus needed to invest on

138
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:26,120
planet Earth so that we could be saved, and he

139
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,279
went back to Heaven ultimately so that during that time

140
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,200
until now that he can minister, he can minister in

141
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,960
a way that can transform us and cleanse us from

142
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,320
all of our unrighteousness. So there is a time for

143
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,799
everything and a season for everything under the sun, including

144
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,039
God's mercy. His mercy will continue until it's not continuing.

145
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:50,720
His mercy will continue until we have made our final

146
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:55,120
decision for or against God, and then mercy will stop

147
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,519
her call and that time will have ended. What is

148
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,279
your decision today? Really, we don't have tomorrow. And then

149
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,799
there is a paradox of glory through suffering. There's glory

150
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,240
through suffering in Jesus's reality, and so in Romans chapter five,

151
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,679
verses three through five, it says, and not only so,

152
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:19,159
but we glory and tribulations also, knowing that tribulation work

153
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,919
of patience, and patience, experience and experience hope, and hope

154
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,080
maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed

155
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:32,120
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is

156
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,480
given unto us. I'm grateful. I'm grateful that God shows

157
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,559
us his glory in the suffering that Jesus went through.

158
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,559
It wasn't too much for him, and he wanted to

159
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,799
save us, and so we did.

160
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

162
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

163
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
