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 --> 00:00:19,239
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

Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. We're going

from Egypt or being bound in Egypt, and we're going

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,399
on through to the Promised Land and we are nearing home,

18
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,159
brothers and sisters. Before we get into that, i'd like

This is a guide where we go through four key

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,599
areas of our lives so that we can apply every

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,040
single day's lesson to those areas professionally, from a relationship perspective,

26
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:35,519
from a spiritual perspective, and personal development perspective. I get

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,799

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,200
I mean, let me know where you are in the

29
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,560
world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,400
of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Let's pray, Father, thank you for this morning, Thank you

32
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:55,040
for this day. Thank you for giving us the privilege

33
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:58,280
to come together all over the world, so many people,

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,760
hundreds of thousands people every single day who are listening

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,840
and watching. Please give us your holy spirit and help

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,280
us to live according to your love and principles. In

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. The first

38
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:19,919
three plagues here they are. Okay, So I've already given

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,919
you sort of a primer on that when I ran

40
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,159
through all ten and the gods that the God of

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,159
Heaven was dealing with at the time. So we're gonna

42
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,479
now walk our way through it again. Okay, So we're

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080
gonna begin with the water being turned to blood from

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,080
Exodus chapter seven, verses fourteen through twenty four. And so

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,840
this plague over the Nile river and all water sources

46
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:48,240
were turned to God, I mean to blood. I apologize

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,199
to blood. And so the gods that are the false

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,000
gods that God was targeting so that the people in

49
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:59,159
Egypt would know there's only one true and living God,

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,000
and everything else that they are serving are a farce

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,360
and a counterfeit. And now they have the opportunity to

52
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:10,879
say yes to God. Is happy, Happy, the god of

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,360
the Nile fertility in life Osyrus Nile believed to be

54
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:20,120
his bloodstream. And then of course Gnom, the guardian of

55
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,520
the Nile's source. This is what God was doing because

56
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,800
the Nile was Egypt's pride. God struck it first to

57
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:36,879
show their most sacred resource had no divine protection. And

58
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:40,520
in fact, in Revelation chapter sixteen, verses four through six,

59
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,120
God's end time judgments also also include water being turned

60
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,759
into blood. Okay, and so God can take what a

61
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960
nation worships. I need you to listen to this. This

62
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:56,639
is not a history lesson God can take. In twenty

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,039
twenty five, this day in July whatever a nation worships,

64
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:06,000
is it its power, is it its leadership, is it

65
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,120
it's wealth, is it its economy, it's money, it's resources,

66
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,719
Shut it down in a moment, and expose the false

67
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800
trust the markets they go up and down, up and down.

68
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120
The value of this go up and down, up and down.

69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,240
The perception and perspective about this up and down. So

70
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,839
God can take whatever a nation worships, huh, and shut

71
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,800
it down in a moment so that we can desire

72
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,480
so so we can decide if we're gonna trust in

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,160
the things that make us feel proud HM or in

74
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,360
God himself. In fact, even with the Church, the message

75
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920
of the Church of lad to see is the same thing.

76
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,879
You're in your own mind. You're rich and increased in

77
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:51,680
goods and have need of nothing but you and and

78
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:54,639
don't even know it, like but you're miserable, poor, blind

79
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,800
and naked. But God is showing us that we can

80
00:04:56,879 --> 00:05:00,279
amend our ways, we can turn toward him and gives

81
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:04,480
us the remedy when he shows us our ways. Let's

82
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,319
go to the second plague the frogs from Exodus chapter eight,

83
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,759
verses one through fifteen. The frogs overran the homes the beds,

84
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,240
the ovens, and everywhere else. The false God being targeted

85
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,160
directly as hecat the frog headed goddess of fertility and childbirth.

86
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:27,360
Frogs were considered to be sacred, so you dare not

87
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,360
kill them. No, don't trouble the frogs. So God turned

88
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,040
their sacred animal into a curse, the blessing into a curse.

89
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,600
What they honored became a source of disgust and help

90
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,319
bless ness. Okay, so how do we apply it? When

91
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,639
we exalt created things? They don't have to be frogs.

92
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:54,240
They don't have to be frogs like jobs, like our positions,

93
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,439
our titles, even good causes. I'm talking about causes that

94
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,360
we forgot reason have begun to give awareness campaigns for.

95
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,879
But if we exalt those things above the Creator, they

96
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,680
will eventually overrun our lives. They will become all consuming

97
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,720
and then begin to block out in many ways, our

98
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,839
connection with God. And so we keep those in submission

99
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,279
to God's will, and we keep God as our priority

100
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:31,800
so they do not overrun our lives. The third lice

101
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,560
or nats coming in from Exodus chapter eight, verses sixteen

102
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,519
through nineteen. The dust became lice or gnats affecting both

103
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:46,279
humans and animals. The targeted gods Geb, the god of

104
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,079
the Earth, the Egyptian priesthood obsessed with ritual cleanliness. Can

105
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,000
you be ritually clean with all of these gnats and lice? Well,

106
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,240
they were in the way. So this is the first

107
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,639
plague that the magicians couldn't not replicate, forcing them to admit,

108
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:08,079
as in Exodus, chapter eight and verse nineteen, this is

109
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,399
the finger of God. They had to do it. They

110
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,639
had to do it. In fact, Jesus said it in

111
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,439
Luke chapter eleven and verse twenty. If I cast out

112
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:19,160
devils with the finger of God like so you know

113
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,079
when the hand of God is at work, then no

114
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000
doubt the Kingdom of God is upon you. So how

115
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,040
do we apply this one? There comes a point where

116
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,279
human systems, spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the real

117
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,759
power of God. I don't have a problem with artificial intelligence,

118
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360
in fact, in fact, I use it. I use it

119
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,319
in a masterful way. I use artificial intelligence. I do

120
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,399
not allow though artificial intelligence to use me. I wish

121
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,680
I had the time. There are some things that people

122
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,800
are using it to do that are not according to

123
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,000
God's will. They are counterfeits about against God will causing

124
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,399
people to believe things that are simply not true. They're

125
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:11,439
not misinformation, it's disinformation. People are deliberately using the voices,

126
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,560
the faces, the images, and all kinds of other things

127
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,360
to cause people to believe a lie, sometimes using artificial intelligence.

128
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:23,959
But in any case, whatever it happens to be in

129
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,839
the time, in the time, there comes a point where

130
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,759
human systems and spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the

131
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:36,440
real power of God. When God speaks, even skeptics will say,

132
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,200
this is the finger of God. And from it coming

133
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,600
in from the book Patriarchs and Prophets, as we come

134
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,559
to a swift close page two hundred and sixty five,

135
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:49,679
every judgment was an appeal to the gods in whom

136
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,320
the Egyptians trusted. God made the very objects of their

137
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:01,840
worship a source of suffering and shame. So what am

138
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:04,639
I worshiping? That's really the question for me. What am

139
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,600
I worshiping? What am I worshiping? And if I choose

140
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,200
to worship anything above God? I mean, the Bible simply says,

141
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080
and the Commandments have no other gods before me. This

142
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,639
is God, the creator of all things, the one who

143
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,120
loves us and gave us not only creation, but he

144
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,679
gave us recreation, that is redemption through the blood of Christ.

145
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,120
Now we can be saved and live with God eternally

146
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:35,360
without sin and completely with salvation. That God is saying,

147
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,039
choose you whom you will serve. And I'm saying today,

148
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,879
I hope you're declaring the same as for me and

149
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,679
my house. We're going to serve the Lord. Make it

150
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:44,240
a great day.

151
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we

152
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,240
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

153
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,279
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

154
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
