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,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,079
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, December tenth,

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,039
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:43,520
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479
where we give you God's Word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,960
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,560
study series themes in the Gospel of John, and our

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,200
caption for today is knowing the Sun is knowing the Father.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,040
The Son is knowing the Father. When God is in

18
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:08,359
your life, when people see you, they will know the

19
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,480
Father too. I wish I had the time before we

20
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:13,519
get into that. I'd like to just say welcome to

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,560

22
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:18,840

of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,439
Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,

30
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,359
We thank you for this day and for the opportunity

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,879
that you have given us to engage with you in

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,040
the word. Father, I pray that when you see us,

33
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,200
when people see us, it'll be a reflection of you

34
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:04,079
Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Knowing the

35
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:08,599
Son is knowing the Father. Okay, so we're going to

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,599
go ahead and begin with a quote from yesterday that

37
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,080
I gave just a little bit of, but we're going

38
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,080
to read right out of yesterday's lesson at the bottom

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,479
in Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underrived. That means that

40
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:30,919
Jesus Christ is not a created being. Can I just

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,360
say that simply, Jesus Christ is not a created being?

42
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,719
That matters. I wish I had the time and so

43
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,960
when Jesus comes to planet Earth. He's surrendering his will

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,199
to the process of taking on a human body. And

45
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,800
so the quote continues. Let as yet as the incarnate

46
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:02,240
son who emptied him. According to Philippians, chapter two and

47
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:08,400
verse seven of the Exercise of his prerogatives, Christ speaking

48
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,599
of his existence on earth as a man among men,

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,319
could refer to his possession of life as a gift

50
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,719
from God. The divinity of Christ is the believer's assurance

51
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,319
of eternal life. Let me say that last part again,

52
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,039
because I know I said a lot and it may

53
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:33,319
be confusing to some. The divinity of Christ is the

54
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,439
believer's assurance of eternal life. Okay, let me say this simply.

55
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,800
If Jesus were not equal with our father God, then

56
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,000
the plan of salvation could not work. The one who

57
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,199
gave his life for us has to be equal to

58
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:58,800
or greater than, the law of God that was offended.

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,319
Who gave his life for us has to be equal

60
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,319
to God, our Father, because no life would be worth

61
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,719
or have the ability the value to save us from

62
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,240
our sins. And you're like, but God can't die, Dave,

63
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,959
that sounds confusing. Oh wait a minute, I think, Paul

64
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,639
answered the question. He said, great is the mystery of God.

65
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,959
Because God took on human flesh. God became a man

66
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,480
in the person of Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ, being

67
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:37,000
equal with our Father, also took on another form. Jesus

68
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,199
Christ took on human form after we had been degraded

69
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,560
by four thousand years of sin. And so Jesus takes

70
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,000
on that form. And it is his adopted human form,

71
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:56,600
his adopted humanity that Jesus allowed to die the death

72
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:59,160
of the Cross so we can be saved. And I

73
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,000
know it's a mist How can he be one hundred

74
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:05,600
percent God? How can he be one hundred percent human?

75
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279
How is this possible? Well, I guess you're going to

76
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,160
need to ask God that question. We can read through

77
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:13,399
the Bible and get all the right answers, but we

78
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,759
need God through the power of the Holy ghosts, to

79
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,360
drive home to our consciousness what that means. Okay, And

80
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,680
so that is where I just really need to start here,

81
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,680
because people make up all kind of crazy arguments, sacrilegious

82
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,560
arguments to diminish who Jesus is. But now we see

83
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,839
in the human form, knowing the Son is knowing the Father.

84
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,720
When Jesus came to planet Earth. We could see now

85
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,079
a manifestation of who God our Father is. Okay, and

86
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120
so in John chapter seven and verse sixteen, the Bible reads,

87
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,839
Jesus answered them and said, my doctrine is not my own,

88
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,199
so his teachings are not his own. See, he surrendered

89
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,759
his will to God our Father while he lived on

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,000
planet Earth. He said, my doctrine, even though he has powers,

91
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,439
are unborrowed, underrived. Even though he's the creator of everything

92
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,399
in the universe, animate and inanimate, meaning Jesus Christ in

93
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:13,399
human form. Jesus yielded himself to God our Father. My

94
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:20,079
doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. I

95
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,439
love it. So his teachings, he's saying, are coming from

96
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,399
the Father. You see, he's submitting to God. Here we

97
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:30,680
go John chapter eight and verse thirty eight, and the

98
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Bible reads, I speak that which I have seen with

99
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,439
my father, and ye do that which ye have seen

100
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,000
from your father. So he's speaking to his detractors. Jesus

101
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,839
is connected with God our Father and his detractors. They

102
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,959
were supposedly the leaders of God's people, and those so

103
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,639
called leaders of God's people. I'm a leader some of

104
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,160
you who are listening and watching our leaders. There are

105
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,160
pastors that I know who watch every day your leader.

106
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,639
But please don't become so called leaders like these guys here.

107
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,759
These had their father as the devil because they did

108
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,360
not believe in Jesus Christ. Somehow they thought they could

109
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:14,879
lead God's people and reject Jesus both and at the

110
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,600
same time. Please let us not be them. But we

111
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:23,199
see the witness of the Father in Christ's life. When

112
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,240
you see Jesus, you see the Father. When people see us,

113
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,319
do they see God? He said, let your light so

114
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,360
shine before humans other humans? Right, fellow human beings. So

115
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:37,079
when they see your good works, they glorify our Father,

116
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:40,079
which is in heaven. Okay, And so now we see

117
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:44,560
in John chapter fourteen, Verses ten and twenty three, the

118
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,319
Bible reads, do you not believe that I am in

119
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,759
the Father and that the Father is in me? The

120
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600
words I say to you I do not speak on

121
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,720
my own initiative. You see, Jesus is submitting. He is submitting,

122
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:04,279
but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.

123
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:08,639
Jesus replied, if anyone loves me, he will obey my word,

124
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,959
and my Father will love him. And we will come

125
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,759
to him and take up residence with him. Jesus is

126
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,040
making a promise. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you

127
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,120
get the Father in your life too. If you believe

128
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,360
in God, our Father in reality, then you get Jesus

129
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,199
Christ as a bonus blessing. And I maybe shouldn't say

130
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:32,399
it that way in your life as well. And of

131
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000
course the power of the Holy Ghost comes in this

132
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,840
same holy and divine package. Blessed be the name of

133
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,799
the Lord. And so when we accept God, we get

134
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,639
all of heaven in one gift. For what purpose? Freely

135
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,879
you have received, The Bible says, freely give, give kindness,

136
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,960
Give people the opportunity to grow and to live. Don't

137
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,320
hurt people with your words. Don't hurt people physically when

138
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,919
they've not done anything to deserve that. Please. When you

139
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,879
are seen walking and moving in the earth, you're seen

140
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,759
in your silence. You're seen when you're speaking. You're seen

141
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:15,679
at work and at play. You are seen in government offices.

142
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,120
You are seen in your church offices. When people see

143
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,759
you in your marriage, when nobody else is looking besides

144
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,759
your spouse, when they're looking at your relationship with your children,

145
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,720
they should see God, our Father. They should see Jesus

146
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,159
Christ the Sun. They should see the power of the

147
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,840
Holy Ghost in your life when they see you. And

148
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:37,639
I have some more tips, but again I have run

149
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,759
out of time, so please request in the community at

150
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,799
your daily Portion dot com notes on today and I'll

151
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:44,399
give them to you.

152
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we

153
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

154
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

155
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
Daily Portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
