Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good Marning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, July
twenty second, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. We're going
from Egypt or being bound in Egypt, and we're going
on through to the Promised Land and we are nearing home,
brothers and sisters. Before we get into that, i'd like
to just say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those
joining us for the very first time. Please go over
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online
community pick up the Your Daily Portion Life application Guide.
This is a guide where we go through four key
areas of our lives so that we can apply every
single day's lesson to those areas professionally, from a relationship perspective,
from a spiritual perspective, and personal development perspective. I get
that at your Daily Portion dot com. Also, let everybody know,
I mean, let me know where you are in the
world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one
of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
Let's pray, Father, thank you for this morning, Thank you
for this day. Thank you for giving us the privilege
to come together all over the world, so many people,
hundreds of thousands people every single day who are listening
and watching. Please give us your holy spirit and help
us to live according to your love and principles. In
Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. The first
three plagues here they are. Okay, So I've already given
you sort of a primer on that when I ran
through all ten and the gods that the God of
Heaven was dealing with at the time. So we're gonna
now walk our way through it again. Okay, So we're
gonna begin with the water being turned to blood from
Exodus chapter seven, verses fourteen through twenty four. And so
this plague over the Nile river and all water sources
were turned to God, I mean to blood. I apologize
to blood. And so the gods that are the false
gods that God was targeting so that the people in
Egypt would know there's only one true and living God,
and everything else that they are serving are a farce
and a counterfeit. And now they have the opportunity to
say yes to God. Is happy, Happy, the god of
the Nile fertility in life Osyrus Nile believed to be
his bloodstream. And then of course Gnom, the guardian of
the Nile's source. This is what God was doing because
the Nile was Egypt's pride. God struck it first to
show their most sacred resource had no divine protection. And
in fact, in Revelation chapter sixteen, verses four through six,
God's end time judgments also also include water being turned
into blood. Okay, and so God can take what a
nation worships. I need you to listen to this. This
is not a history lesson God can take. In twenty
twenty five, this day in July whatever a nation worships,
is it its power, is it its leadership, is it
it's wealth, is it its economy, it's money, it's resources,
Shut it down in a moment, and expose the false
trust the markets they go up and down, up and down.
The value of this go up and down, up and down.
The perception and perspective about this up and down. So
God can take whatever a nation worships, huh, and shut
it down in a moment so that we can desire
so so we can decide if we're gonna trust in
the things that make us feel proud HM or in
God himself. In fact, even with the Church, the message
of the Church of lad to see is the same thing.
You're in your own mind. You're rich and increased in
goods and have need of nothing but you and and
don't even know it, like but you're miserable, poor, blind
and naked. But God is showing us that we can
amend our ways, we can turn toward him and gives
us the remedy when he shows us our ways. Let's
go to the second plague the frogs from Exodus chapter eight,
verses one through fifteen. The frogs overran the homes the beds,
the ovens, and everywhere else. The false God being targeted
directly as hecat the frog headed goddess of fertility and childbirth.
Frogs were considered to be sacred, so you dare not
kill them. No, don't trouble the frogs. So God turned
their sacred animal into a curse, the blessing into a curse.
What they honored became a source of disgust and help
bless ness. Okay, so how do we apply it? When
we exalt created things? They don't have to be frogs.
They don't have to be frogs like jobs, like our positions,
our titles, even good causes. I'm talking about causes that
we forgot reason have begun to give awareness campaigns for.
But if we exalt those things above the Creator, they
will eventually overrun our lives. They will become all consuming
and then begin to block out in many ways, our
connection with God. And so we keep those in submission
to God's will, and we keep God as our priority
so they do not overrun our lives. The third lice
or nats coming in from Exodus chapter eight, verses sixteen
through nineteen. The dust became lice or gnats affecting both
humans and animals. The targeted gods Geb, the god of
the Earth, the Egyptian priesthood obsessed with ritual cleanliness. Can
you be ritually clean with all of these gnats and lice? Well,
they were in the way. So this is the first
plague that the magicians couldn't not replicate, forcing them to admit,
as in Exodus, chapter eight and verse nineteen, this is
the finger of God. They had to do it. They
had to do it. In fact, Jesus said it in
Luke chapter eleven and verse twenty. If I cast out
devils with the finger of God like so you know
when the hand of God is at work, then no
doubt the Kingdom of God is upon you. So how
do we apply this one? There comes a point where
human systems, spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the real
power of God. I don't have a problem with artificial intelligence,
in fact, in fact, I use it. I use it
in a masterful way. I use artificial intelligence. I do
not allow though artificial intelligence to use me. I wish
I had the time. There are some things that people
are using it to do that are not according to
God's will. They are counterfeits about against God will causing
people to believe things that are simply not true. They're
not misinformation, it's disinformation. People are deliberately using the voices,
the faces, the images, and all kinds of other things
to cause people to believe a lie, sometimes using artificial intelligence.
But in any case, whatever it happens to be in
the time, in the time, there comes a point where
human systems and spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the
real power of God. When God speaks, even skeptics will say,
this is the finger of God. And from it coming
in from the book Patriarchs and Prophets, as we come
to a swift close page two hundred and sixty five,
every judgment was an appeal to the gods in whom
the Egyptians trusted. God made the very objects of their
worship a source of suffering and shame. So what am
I worshiping? That's really the question for me. What am
I worshiping? What am I worshiping? And if I choose
to worship anything above God? I mean, the Bible simply says,
and the Commandments have no other gods before me. This
is God, the creator of all things, the one who
loves us and gave us not only creation, but he
gave us recreation, that is redemption through the blood of Christ.
Now we can be saved and live with God eternally
without sin and completely with salvation. That God is saying,
choose you whom you will serve. And I'm saying today,
I hope you're declaring the same as for me and
my house. We're going to serve the Lord. Make it
a great day.
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
