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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Friday. It's

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,520
August twenty nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,119
El David Harris. I am your host, and this is

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,439
your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every

14
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:49,840
single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,079
in our Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus,

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,679
and our caption for today is Coping with a Fallen World.

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,479
Coping with a fallen World. Before we get into that,

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040
I'd like to just say welcome to everyone joining us,

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,200
especially those joining us for the very first time. Please

20
00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:12,159
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,239

00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,280
you are in the world at your daily portion dot com.

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,879
This is one of the ways that we continue to

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,879
then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, I thank you,

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,200
Thank you for giving us this day, giving us this

28
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,879
bread that you have entrusted to us. Help us to

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,079
eat from your word and then share with as many

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,120
people as possible, especially during these last days. In Jesus name,

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,680
I pray Amen and a man again coping with a

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,640
fallen world. And so the lesson writer takes us to

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,079
the book The Great Controversy, page six hundred and thirty three,

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,280
and it reads, the precious Savior will send help just

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,400
when you need it. Okay, when we need it. But

36
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:18,319
I said when you need it, Yes, remember the song

37
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,280
just when I need him most, just when I need

38
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:25,639
a most. Jesus is near to comfort and cheer just

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,800
when I need him most. I remember when Josiah, our son,

40
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,599
who is almost fifteen years of age now, was much younger.

41
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,759
He had some challenges with temptation. There were some things

42
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,159
that were tempting him and had to keep going back

43
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,319
to him and back to him because he would yield

44
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:50,199
to these particular temptations. And I said, this is what

45
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,280
I need you to do. I need you to remember

46
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:58,919
that I'm here with you, your daddy, I'm here with you.

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,719
You're not alone. I need need you to remember I'm

48
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,479
here with you. Right now, you're getting caught on the

49
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,520
backside of this situation because you didn't come to me

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,000
for the assistance that you needed, because you're a young boy. See,

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,520
I didn't have anybody to help me to get through

52
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,639
those valleys of temptation. I'm just telling you the truth.

53
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:26,080
Like I didn't have anybody who either understood how to

54
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,560
get through or how to help me as a young

55
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240
boy when I was a young boy. And so I said, okay, so,

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,759
and I walked him through some things, and I said,

57
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,680
when we're in the house together, because we're together, I

58
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:42,879
just need you to call for help, call for help.

59
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:47,039
And so I want you to just call my name

60
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:54,800
and say help, Daddy help. When you're being tempted, I

61
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
want you to say Daddy help. It doesn't matter where

62
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,479
I am in the house, it doesn't matter where you are.

63
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,439
I want you to say, Daddy Help. And I wanted

64
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:07,879
to get to him at that young age that when

65
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,199
you are being tempted, you're not alone, and that I

66
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,120
would be a representation of who God is to all

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
of us. And I explained all of that to him,

68
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,439
that I can come to him right before he's about

69
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,399
to do that thing and stop him in his tracks

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,560
because he has made the decision to say, Daddy help.

71
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,079
Somebody type that in the chat Father Help, and the

72
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,800
quote continues, the way to heaven is consecrated by his footprints,

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,519
Who the Savior, who will help us when we need it.

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,319
Every thorn that wounds our feet has wounded his. Every

75
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:51,120
cross that we are called to bear, he has borne

76
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:56,279
before us. The Lord permits conflicts to prepare the soul

77
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:00,879
for peace. The time of trouble is a fearful ordeal

78
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:05,879
for God's people. But it is the time of It

79
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:09,639
is the time for every true believer to look up

80
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,959
and by faith, he may see the bow of promise

81
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,279
encircling him. Daddy, that's not in it. End of quote,

82
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,920
Daddy help. When we're living in the last days, brothers

83
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,959
and sisters, and the Bible reads in one Peter, chapter

84
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,600
five and verse eight, be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary,

85
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,480
the devil as a roaring lion, as as it's a metaphor,

86
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,639
as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour.

87
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,199
Let me just say this, Jesus is not a metaphor.

88
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,480
He's not as a lion. He is, in fact, and indeed,

89
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,920
the genuine article, the mighty lion of the tribe of Judah.

90
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,920
So the devil, as a roaring lion, is seeking whom

91
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,680
he may devour. And Jesus is standing up when you

92
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,800
call for his help. He's there. When you're not calling

93
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,800
for his help, he's there, but he's not going to

94
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680
be able to do all that he would desire to

95
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,160
do for you. And Missus White said that it is

96
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:20,720
the will of God to grant an answer to the

97
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:24,360
prayer of faith that which He would not bestow. Did

98
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,360
we not thus ask you? See the people of God,

99
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,759
as they were being removed from that bondage to their

100
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:37,639
old lifestyles, their old mindset, their idolatrous ways. While they

101
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,560
were in Egypt, those individuals were learning how to see

102
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,319
that God had done so much for them in the past,

103
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,120
and that they could rely on Him to continue to

104
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,720
deliver them, to call out on his call out to

105
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,639
his name and know that he would direct them. So

106
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120
we live in a war zone and the enemy is active.

107
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:02,600
Pain is not all because of a personal sin, but

108
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:05,639
because of the broken world in which we live. So

109
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,720
it's not always because you're guilty of something. It is

110
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,000
because this world is not our home as it is

111
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,079
one day when Jesus returns, he's going to take us

112
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,160
to heaven. And if you're running ahead of me, I

113
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,399
need you to slow down. Don't run ahead, come with me.

114
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,560
I want you to be next to me. Now walk

115
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,000
with me. Heaven is not our home, but it will

116
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,720
be a one thousand year vacation. I'm looking forward to

117
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:32,480
the day that God is going to give us a

118
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,480
one thousand year vacation. And after the thousand years are finished,

119
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,800
the Bible says that the meek will in fact inherit

120
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:47,439
the new Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. So the action for

121
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:51,759
me and for you is to identify one area of

122
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,000
your life where you feel the enemy's pressure, pray intentionally

123
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,040
over it every day this week, Lord help, this is

124
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,839
what we're talking about. And now we go to Hebrews

125
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,040
chapter four and verse fifteen. For we have not an

126
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of

127
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,800
our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as

128
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:23,040
we are, and yet without sin. You see, the Bible

129
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:25,519
teaches us that there's the lust of the flesh, the

130
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:28,079
lust of the eyes, the pride of life. Those are

131
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,919
the deeds of the flesh. Yes, in fact, Jesus overcame them.

132
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,720
If you look into the story of Matthew chapter four,

133
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,120
the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness, and then in

134
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,600
Luke chapter four, you'll see in Luke chapter four's account

135
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,679
the actual sequence lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes,

136
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,679
pride of life. Those were the temptations in order, according

137
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,600
to the account of Luke. Now, the Bible teaches us

138
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,840
that Jesus overcame all of those, not just in the wilderness,

139
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:02,120
but all of those through those thirty three and one

140
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,120
half years of him living on planet Earth. Because no pain,

141
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,639
no sorrow, no burden we carry is foreign to him.

142
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Every thorn that pierces us pierced him first in a

143
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:24,360
moment of struggle, Pause and speak aloud, Jesus, you've been here.

144
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Walk with me, please, God, please, right now. Conflict lesson

145
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,559
number three. Conflict is not the end, God uses it

146
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,759
to prepare us for peace. I'm looking forward to the

147
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,399
day that God gives us ultimate peace, where there will

148
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,720
be no more sin, no more temptation. Peace.

149
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

150
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

151
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

152
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
