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

for giving us this new day and for giving us

30
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,480
a way to peer into the experience that your people

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760
had with Jesus and vice versa. Please help us to

32
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:55,040
glean glean how a relationship with you really looks, and

33
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:59,239
to begin to live in a holy lifestyle. In Jesus' name,

34
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:03,840
I pray, Amen and a man again. If you were

35
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:08,560
to meet Jesus anywhere, I'm saying anywhere in the universe.

36
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,919
Is it at your favorite park? Is it at a

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,159
hotel cafe where you use the internet? I don't know

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,639
where would you meet Jesus? Is it at the gym?

39
00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:22,800
Along the road? Would he be a passenger in your taxi?

40
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,120
That's the question like, if you were to meet with Jesus,

41
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:31,080
would you recognize him? And I know a question like

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,680
where does that question come from? Would you recognize him.

43
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,960
You see, there were so many times in history, even

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,039
when Jesus lived on planet Earth and walked and lived

45
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,479
and moved among his people. I'm talking about the ones

46
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:49,240
who were closest to him, that they just didn't recognize him.

47
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,719
They didn't recognize him. They would see him and still

48
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:56,560
not desern that it was indeed Jesus whom they would

49
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:02,080
experience on a regular daily basis. In John chapter twenty one,

50
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:05,280
it'll make sense here as we read, beginning at verse one.

51
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:09,520
After these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,080
at the sea of Tiberius. And on this wise he

53
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,879
showed himself. There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,840
Didymus and Nathaniel of cana in Galilee, and the sons

55
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,319
of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter said,

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,479
unto them, I go fishing. They say, unto him, we

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,120
also go with thee. They went forth and entered into

58
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,479
a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing. Can

59
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,879
you just say that they caught nothing? Type in the

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,360
chat they caught nothing? Why not? Well, we'll see in

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,400
a moment verse four. But when the morning was now come,

62
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,360
he realized that many times what we need is in

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,159
the morning. When we go through a night of trial,

64
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:58,800
we go through a night of wringing our hands and

65
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680
doing our best and hoping that God will quote do

66
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,199
the rest. Like the many times that we fail. Right

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,039
when the things go difficult through the night's season, we're

68
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,960
waiting for the morning to come. We're waiting for the

69
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,240
morning to come. One more, one more, please type in

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,120
the chat the morning has come, The morning has come.

71
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,319
The brightness of our faith will be seen in the morning. Okay,

72
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,319
and so we see here the Bible says, But when

73
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,439
the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore.

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,199
But the disciples knew not what that it was Jesus.

75
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:41,160
Can I just say that again? But the disciples knew

76
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:45,160
not that it was Jesus. So many times throughout their experience,

77
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,279
Jesus would show up and they didn't know it was him.

78
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,680
But let me just keep going. Maybe they needed glasses,

79
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,120
maybe he was too far. They were far out into

80
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:59,279
the sea or the let's see Galilee, the lake, and

81
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,600
they were not able to see that it was Jesus.

82
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,639
But let's see. And then Jesus said, unto them, children,

83
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,120
have ye any meat, and they answered him no. So

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,959
now they're hearing his voice verse six, and he said,

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,399
unto them, cast the net on the right side of

86
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,639
the ship, and ye shall find they cast therefore, and

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,639
now they were not able to draw it for the

88
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,720
multitude of fishes. Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved, that's

89
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,360
John seth unto Peter, it is the Lord. Can you

90
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:35,120
imagine they did not realize that it was Jesus. But

91
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,040
now John is saying, because he is so close to

92
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,399
Jesus he loved Jesus, he is now recognizing based on

93
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:47,519
the result of them doing what they could not do,

94
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920
they are now able to do. He says, it is

95
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,079
the Lord. Now, when Simon Peter heard that it was

96
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,360
the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him because

97
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,800
he was naked. He was naked, and did cast him.

98
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,879
Cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came

99
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,439
in a little ship, for they were not far from land.

100
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,759
But as it were two hundred cubits dragging the net

101
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,839
with fishes. And soon as they came were come to

102
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,360
the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and

103
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,480
fish laid thereon, and bread see Jesus has a habit

104
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,879
of when we recognize who he is, he has a

105
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,480
habit of making provision for us. Ah, you didn't know

106
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,399
it was Jesus that was getting you through the nighttime seas,

107
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:41,319
and you didn't know that sometimes he's curating your trials.

108
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,639
He is having you through trials so you will see

109
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839
your extremity, you will see your need, you will see

110
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,120
your inability to cope without him. And then when the

111
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,040
morning dawns, he even though sometimes we don't understand that

112
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,680
it is Jesus who is beginning to deliver us. Yes,

113
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,639
and then he makes a provision, a miraculous provision. He

114
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,920
is poised, he is positioned, and all of the preparation

115
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,319
has already been done. He has the coals, right, he

116
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,720
has the fire, He has the fish, he has the bread.

117
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,480
Now all they need to do is come to eat.

118
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,600
He already provided so much fish that they could not

119
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,759
carry it, and now he has prepared it. I think

120
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,879
the Bible says, behold, I come and stand at the door,

121
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,879
and I knock, and I keep on knocking. And if

122
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,879
any man hears my voice, this is Jesus speaking in

123
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Revelation chapter three. If any person hears my voice and

124
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,040
opens the door. I will come into him, and I

125
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,720
will sup with him, and he with me. I want

126
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,360
to pause right there on that phrase, I will sup

127
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,519
with him. That means to eat. But it doesn't mean

128
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,199
that Jesus is coming to dinner. It doesn't mean that

129
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360
he wants you to prepare a table before him in

130
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,240
your presence. It means that he is going to prepare

131
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:01,519
a table before you. He is going to bring dinner

132
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,160
to sup. Jesus saying that he's going to sup with

133
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,079
you means that he's going to bring dinner. You don't

134
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:12,040
have to bring anything except the willing heart, a submissive spirit,

135
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,959
ready to receive from Jesus. But you and I both

136
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,279
need to submit ourselves to him so that when he

137
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,040
is present, we open the door of our hearts, even

138
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,639
the dark parts, even up under the bed of our house,

139
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:29,360
right in the closet of our house, opening up our

140
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:31,759
cell phone so he can see all of the things

141
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:36,000
that we watch those things. When we welcome Jesus into

142
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:39,679
the doorway, through the doorway of our lives, he is

143
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,519
bringing dinner. The fatted calf is prepared. Do you understand

144
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,600
where we're going with this? Yes? And so now Jesus

145
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,000
is doing the same thing. He does this, and then

146
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,240
it says it says that they you know, they brought

147
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,919
all of this. And so Jesus, Jesus verse twelve said

148
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,679
unto them, come and dine, and none of the disciples

149
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,480
durst ask him, like who art thou, knowing that it

150
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,240
was the Lord. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread and

151
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,840
give them and fish. Likewise, this is now the third

152
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:13,480
time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that

153
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,679
he was risen hallelujah from the dead. He reveals himself

154
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,080
when he's risen from the dead. So when they had dined,

155
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,440
Jesus said, unto Simon Peter, son of Jonahs, he says, now, Peter,

156
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,720
do you love me? And then Peter, in his brokenness,

157
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,879
he is telling him, yeah, I love you. Jesus is like, no,

158
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,799
not that kind of love. Do you love me? Peter, Yes, Jesus,

159
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:37,639
I love you. No, no, no, Peter, not that kind

160
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:37,919
of love.

161
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Peter.

162
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,879
Speaker 2: Do you love me? Really love me? And if you do,

163
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,039
I need you to feed my sheep. Peace.

164
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

165
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone. But by every word that comes

166
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

167
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
