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
00:00:15,199 --> 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

study series uniting Heaven and Earth, Christ in Philippians and Colossians.

16
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,679
And our caption for today really interesting question, mind in

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:10,519
plant or mind surgery? Mind implant or mind surgery. We'll

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,680
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,519
go ahead and pray and then we will get underway.

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,920
Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us a new day,

29
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,879
Please give us a new mind. In Jesus's name, I pray,

30
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:56,879
Amen and Amen again. All right, so let me just

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,000
speak to you really quickly and frankly and say I'm

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,879
not sure where you come down in answering the question

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,199
in the title, but let me just say that the

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:14,000
mind and mindset with which we were born ain't no good.

35
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,240
I know what I just said. The mind or mind

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,680
set that we were born with is no good. And

37
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:27,280
that's because we were born in sin and shapen in iniquity,

38
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,759
shaped in iniquity. That's the norm when we're born of

39
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,080
a woman. Because quite frankly, Adam messed us up when

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,879
Adam chose to sin, Adam being the first one created,

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Adam being the one that represents planet Earth, all humans

42
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,800
on planet Earth like or represented. Yes, his DNA was

43
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,039
transferred to us, and the only way out of this

44
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,400
mess is to receive new DNA through the new birth.

45
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,479
In John chapter three, the Bible teaches us that God,

46
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,120
that God, God Christ, taught Nicodemus that he needed to

47
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,039
be born again, and all humans need to be born again.

48
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,560
That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that

49
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,759
which is born of the spirit, the Holy Spirit, is

50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,560
from the Holy Spirit. And that is why this current

51
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
mind that we are born with I should say that,

52
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,080
I shouldn't say this current, the one that we were

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,439
born with, has to go, and God wants to give

54
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,879
us the rebirth mind, the new mind and mindset. Okay,

55
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,319
So let me just say that, because to be spiritually

56
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,800
minded is life and peace. To be carnally minded is death.

57
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,639
It's very simple. So again, I don't know where you

58
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:48,000
come down in your discussion of this, but the fact

59
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:52,560
is that the mind that we need comes only through

60
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,120
new birth. That means new mind altogether. And so we

61
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,759
go into the Bible Book of Philippians. Let's go to

62
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:07,800
Philippians chapter Philippians chapter two, and I will read just

63
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,360
verse five, I think. Now, let me read five and beyond. Okay,

64
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,120
I'll stop when I stop, all right. So the Bible reads,

65
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,920
let this mind be in you, which was also in

66
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,160
Christ Jesus. So God is saying, allow this. You've allowed

67
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,399
so many things in the past, so many things that

68
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560
separate between you and God. This is something I need

69
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920
you to allow. This is an imperative. Do this. I

70
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,040
need you to do this, and not that. The mindset

71
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,319
that you need comes from Christ Jesus. Receive that, and

72
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,439
you will have eternity with God. Okay. So let this

73
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,120
mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Well,

74
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,600
what was that mindset? Brother Paul teach us the mindset

75
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,199
now in the beginning of the chapter. He started to

76
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,360
illustrate this before he said this, and now he's gonna

77
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,879
close it out right, okay. And so he said, who,

78
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,959
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery

79
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,279
to be equal with God? So he knowing that he's eternal,

80
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,959
blessed be his name, just like God, our Father, just

81
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,879
like God. The Holy Ghost Michah chapter five and verse

82
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:20,519
two teaches us that Jesus too, the Messiah two is eternal. Okay,

83
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:24,160
eternity in the past straight through eternity in the future.

84
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:28,040
There was never a time that Jesus Christ did not exist.

85
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,720
Now we see that he came and took on humanity,

86
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:35,240
like we're saying here in a second, he took on

87
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:40,680
human form, but prior to that, he existed throughout eternity past. Okay,

88
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,959
So even though he's eternal, even though he's equal to

89
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:49,160
our Father, Blessed be his name, he's not saying he's saying,

90
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,560
that's the reality. But those people, I love them. I

91
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,519
created them. The Bible teaches us in Hebrews one, in

92
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,639
John chapter one, and Colossians in a couple of places.

93
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,600
It shows us that Jesus Christ is actually the one

94
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600
who created us. And he's saying that even though I

95
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:11,519
am eternal, even though I have all of the prerogatives

96
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,279
of eternal God, Blessed be his name, I'm not going

97
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:18,839
to grasp at that and let them die. I'm not

98
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,160
going to hold on to that right. It's not a privilege,

99
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:25,759
that right. All of the rights of what God is

100
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:31,079
are in the bosom of Christ. And he's saying, I

101
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,439
can't let those people down there die like I have

102
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:38,160
to go save them Verse seven. But he made himself

103
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:42,160
of no reputation. This is when Jesus takes on human form. Right,

104
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,199
he took upon himself a human form of a servant,

105
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360
and was made in the likeness of men, and being

106
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:54,959
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and

107
00:06:55,079 --> 00:07:00,519
became obedient unto death, even the death of the Let

108
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,160
me just say to you very quickly, I get excited

109
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,240
on this, so I have to slow down my pace.

110
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,199
None of us get to be obedient to death. We

111
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,439
don't have an option. Whenever it's time to die, it's

112
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,079
just time to die, full stop. There's nothing we can

113
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,000
do about it. You can't kravmaga your way out of it.

114
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,439
You can't self defend your way out of it. You

115
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:23,360
can't back yourself in the corner and fight yourself out

116
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,680
of the corner out of it. You cannot teach yourself

117
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:29,399
how to do any combat your way out of it.

118
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,360
You can't put up a bulletproof shield your way out

119
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,839
of it. Like you can't help message your way out

120
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:37,000
of it. You can't pray your way out of it.

121
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,680
Once it's time. I'm saying, when your time is up,

122
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,759
your time is up. You can't resist it. But Jesus,

123
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,319
having power and life in him, he is life and

124
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:54,199
light together unborrowed underived could have said at the moment

125
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:58,040
that he, in his humanity, would die. His divinity could

126
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,120
have said, nope, I'm not laying down my life. Forget it.

127
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,160
Divinity could have said, I'm not laying down the humanity

128
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,839
right now. I'm going to resist that. I'm going to

129
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,199
infuse humanity with power, so I don't go to sleep

130
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,680
as a human. I'm not doing that today. He could

131
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,720
have chosen that, But the Bible says that he became obedient,

132
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,759
not my will, but thine be done. Nevertheless, Father, not

133
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,680
my will, but thine be done, and he yielded his life.

134
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,000
He laid down his life that he might take it

135
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,799
again so his father would get glory out of it,

136
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240
and you could be saved and I could be saved.

137
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: You see.

138
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: And so when the Bible says to let this mind

139
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:44,120
be in me, which was also in Christ Jesus, and

140
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:49,159
then we see the ultimate manifestation of humility. Now we

141
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,840
know that God wants us to submit ourselves to him.

142
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,720
He wants us to humble ourselves, and in humbling ourselves,

143
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,919
we are aligned with gess is Christ, and that is

144
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:05,720
the mindset of Christ. And then the Bible says of Christ,

145
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:09,080
though of Christ. Wherefore God hath highly exalted him, and

146
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,679
hath given him a name which is above every name,

147
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,320
that at the name of Jesus, everynee shall bow, and

148
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:21,519
every tongue shall confess, of things in heaven and things

149
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,279
under the earth. That Jesus Christ is Lord to the

150
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,840
glory of God the Father. And so we share in

151
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,480
his sacrifice, we share in his humility, and we will

152
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:36,720
be exalted in him. The Bible Book of Daniel, chapter

153
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,759
seven says that the people of God, the saints, will

154
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,480
also be elevated with Christ. Make it a great day,

155
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,879
take the mind of Christ.

156
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

157
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

158
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

159
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
