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 --> 00:00:33,119
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. I can't believe it.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,079
It is Friday, November one, twenty twenty four. Hello. My

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,320
name is El David Harris. I am your host, and

13
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:45,039
this is your Daily Portion where we give you God's

14
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:48,359
Word every single day, and today is no exception. We

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,399
are continuing in our Lesson study series themes in the

16
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:56,280
Gospel of John, and our caption for today is from

17
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:03,119
out cast to Outreach, From out cast to Outreach. We'll

18
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:04,840
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,599
like to say welcome to you and ask you, if

20
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,680

click the number seven and join and subscribe there. I

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,239
need one thousand people minimally, but it would be great

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,480
if we could get ten thousand, hundreds of thousands. If

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,159
you are watching and listening around the world every single day,

27
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:31,959
so that is easy. That is easy, right, and so

28
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:33,719
I want you to do that and also let me

29
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:36,799
know where you are in the world at your daily

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,400
portion dot com. This is one of the ways that

31
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:43,680
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead

32
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:47,200
and pray, and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven,

33
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:49,799
thank you for this day, for this time of preparation

34
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,560
for the Sabbath, and these years and weeks and months

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680
of preparation for the coming that is near, the coming

36
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,920
of Jesus Christ. Father, help us to maximize and capital

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840
lies on this time. Please transform our lives fully in

38
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:09,080
Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. From outcast

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,439
to outreach. We're going to continue the discussion from yesterday,

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,199
in particular, because I did not get into the idea

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,400
that as this woman goes into her community and she

42
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,360
welcomes the people to come and see like, is this

43
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,919
the Jesus? Is this the Christ, the anointed one that

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,080
we know are is to come, like, is this the

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,039
one we've been waiting for? And we didn't really get

46
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,520
into the testimony of these Samaritans, these people in the

47
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:41,319
village that she came from or community. And so we're

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,400
going to talk about that just a little bit more today, okay.

49
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,759
And so we begin by reading straight out of the lesson,

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360
the quote from the Desire of Ages, page one hundred

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,360
and ninety five. I am so grateful. I'm grateful because

52
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,000
I was once an outcast. Can I just say that

53
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,719
I was once in outcast and many of you were too.

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,199
I was once an outcast where in school they said, oh,

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,639
you have to apply yourself, you have to apply yourself.

56
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,719
I've been in situations where for twelve years people were

57
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,159
gunning for me in a particular position I was in.

58
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:18,599
It's like, why why am I able to accomplish what

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240
I've been doing for all of these years? Is there

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,120
a real problem here? Nothing to see here, folks. I've

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,960
been an outcast. I've been an outcast because I didn't

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,800
fit into the in crowd. When I was a young

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,240
boy in New York City. I was an outcast because

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,319
when I was in a certain other city. Then I

65
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:36,080
was coming from quote a foreign place, and I looked

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,520
too much like the place. That was a problem in

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,039
the streets, and it took some time to win the

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,520
hearts of the people in that space. I've been an outcast,

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,360
and so have you. But we have been outcasts and

70
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,759
hostile toward God because by virtue of our earthly birth.

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,680
But because of our new birth, and because God so

72
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,680
loved the world, he gave us his only begotten son,

73
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,759
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have

74
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000
everlasting life. God didn't send his son into the world

75
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120
to condemn the world. He didn't send Jesus Christ to

76
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:12,000
the well with this woman so he could air out

77
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,960
her dirty laundry and put her on some kind of

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,519
social media platform and say, see, look how wicked she is.

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,639
She claims to be one of the children of Jacob.

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,480
She claims to be one of the daughters of Israel,

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,600
Jacob Israel. You see what I did there. She claims

82
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:31,720
to be one of those, and look at her life. No,

83
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:35,240
Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, but that the

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,959
world through him might be saved. That is the reality.

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,000
Far too many humans on earth, especially some of the

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,000
male sort. I'm speaking to my species. I'm speaking to

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,399
my biological sex. Like some men are misogynists. And because

88
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,600
a woman is a woman, sometimes she's an outcast. And

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480
it's like what your mama was a woman like you

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,639
came from a woman. Hm hmm. I wish I had

91
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,759
the time. I need you to embrace what Jesus embraced.

92
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Jesus embraced the beauty and the holiness that he saw

93
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:17,839
in this woman's future, and he transformed her life from

94
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:22,120
a hopeless sinner to a hopeful saint. I said a lot,

95
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,720
I said a lot. I digress, and so I read

96
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,480
the quote. Now, as soon as she had found the Savior.

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,759
How quickly, as soon as she had found the Savior,

98
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:37,519
the woman, the Samaritan woman, brought others to him. You see,

99
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,600
some of us are wasting time begging and try and

100
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,959
trying and prodding people, causing people to feel guilty or

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,959
attempting to in the church or religious community, and trying

102
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:52,560
to get them to do some evangelistic movements. And it's

103
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,800
just like brother, like, if they're not moving, it's because

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000
they're not having an encounter with Jesus. So stop it,

105
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,680
Stop the foolishness. Use the time to create a revival

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,399
in the space. Use the time to get to know

107
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:08,959
the people in that community of believers, so that when

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,720
we are mobilizing people, we're mobilizing them according to their calling,

109
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,360
mobilizing them according to the blueprint, the wiring of their

110
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,560
behavior styles. And you don't have to beg in pride.

111
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,439
Then you just position people in front of Jesus, in

112
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,360
part through the power of the holy ghosts and encounter

113
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,279
with Jesus. She proved herself continuing the quote, I just

114
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,319
said a lot the people who can hear, let yourselves hear.

115
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:37,600
Don't resist it. Ah. She proved herself a more effective

116
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,279
missionary than his own disciples. What what? The disciples saw

117
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:49,839
nothing in Samaria to indicate that it was an encouraging field.

118
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:53,360
Their thoughts were fixed upon a great work to be

119
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,519
done in the future. Have you been in board meetings

120
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,199
like those? Have you been in directors meetings? Have you

121
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:06,120
been in executive committee meetings like those? Have you been

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,519
in evangelism committees and planning committees like those? Where people

123
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,959
are looking for the future and there is a ripe

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,319
field of harvest right in front of our eyes and

125
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,240
let me continue the quote. They did not see that

126
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,040
right around them was a harvest to be gathered. But

127
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:27,199
through the woman, I need you to type that the woman.

128
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:33,439
How through the woman whom they despised, A whole city

129
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:42,120
full were brought to hear the Savior a woman. I'm

130
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:49,160
really trying to restrain myself here. Stop disrespecting women, and

131
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:54,040
embrace the testimony that the woman can have on an

132
00:07:54,199 --> 00:08:00,199
entire city, an entire community, an entire world of people

133
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,040
can hear from the woman. The church is called the Woman,

134
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,639
the Bride of Christ. I wish I had the time.

135
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,639
A whole city full were brought to hear the Savior.

136
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,959
She carried the light at once to her countrymen. This

137
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000
woman represents the working of a practical faith in Christ.

138
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:21,639
Every true disciple is born into the Kingdom of God

139
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,439
as a missionary. He who drinks of the living water

140
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,079
becomes a fountain of life. The receiver becomes a giver

141
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,559
the grace of Christ, and the soul is like the

142
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:38,720
spring in the desert, welling up to refresh all and

143
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:43,039
making those who are ready to perish eager to drink

144
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,799
the water of life. That is the end of the quote.

145
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:50,360
Can you imagine that in this encounter Jesus represents himself.

146
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:55,559
He presents himself as as the water of life that

147
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,440
people could drink freely, and he would put in her

148
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,879
a well of water. So what does that mean? He's

149
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,919
saying that people will come to you, dear sister. People

150
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600
will come to you, dear brother, to drink of the

151
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:14,000
water of life freely. Who Jesus is will be welling

152
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,679
up in your life to the degree that people will

153
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,639
come into your presence so they can have an encounter

154
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,440
with God. Can I say it again? People will come

155
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,120
into your presence so that they can have an encounter

156
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,720
with Almighty God, blessed be his name. So the question is, really,

157
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:34,399
are you willing to become a well of water for

158
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,039
people to drink from Jesus? I really hope you are

159
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,320
from outcast to outreach who you're supposed to reach today.

160
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Peace, Thanks for joining us listening.

161
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

162
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

163
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

164
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make

165
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
