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 morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, September
twenty two, twenty twenty four. 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
final week, in our final week of our lesson study
through the Book of Mark, and our caption for today
is rejoicing in the Resurrection. Rejoicing in the Resurrection. We'll
get into that in just a moment, but first I
would like to say thank you and welcome to everyone
joining us, especially those joining us for the very first time.
I know that there are many things that you could
be spending your time doing right now, but you're investing
your time with us. And I know that this is
one of the ways that we will continue to spread
the Gospel of the Kingdom, and it will be preached
into all the world for a witness. And then and
only then will the end come. So I thank God,
and hopefully you are grateful as well, and so we
can go ahead and pray and then get under way. Father,
we thank you for not leaving us alone but giving
us everything that we need so that we can be saved.
Thank you for saving us from our sins. Thank you
for saving us from our doubts and from every besetting
sin and every difficulty that has buffeted us in the
generations before us. We are looking forward to the day
that all of that will be over. But in the meantime,
we just give you, give you thanks, We give you
thanks on credit. We thank you now for what you
are going to do. And finally, when Jesus does come,
we will look up and say, Lord, this is what
we've been waiting for. Thank you for coming for us,
and you saving us. In Jesus's name, I pray, amen
and Amen again, rejoicing in the resurrection. I need you
to begin your time of rejoicing right here. If you've
not done so already, I need you to begin rejoicing
right now. I do not want you going into the
difficulties of your life, those thoughts that you have concerning
the challenges you have in your business, in your relationships,
in your health, in your personal development. I need you
to go into those places with God. I'm talking about
in your mind, your mindset. Go there with God and
begin to rejoice because Christ has risen. And when I
say that, I'm saying the Bible writer said, since Jesus
has been given to us by God, like he has
given unto us Jesus Christ, his son, how shall he
not also with him freely give us all things. We
thank God that there is nothing that we can need
that God cannot supply. Yes, and all of this is
purchased because of Jesus's sacrifice. And guess what, Jesus did
not remain dead. So if your hopes are dead, get
up with Jesus. If you are still dead in doubts,
wake up with Jesus. Yes, if you are still dead
and wondering if you can be saved, wake up with Jesus.
I'm saying that He has given us the power of
the resurrection in order to deliver us from everything that
would separate us from Him. And so I read now
from the Bible Book of Mark, chapter fifteen, beginning at
verse forty two. And now when the even was come,
because it was the preparation, that is, the day before
the Sabbath, Joseph of Aramathy, and honorable counselor, which also
waited for the Kingdom of God, came and went in
boldly unto Pilot and craved the body of Jesus. And
Pilot marveled if he were ready already dead, and calling
unto him the Centurion, he asked him whether he had
been a while dead. And when he knew of it,
the centurion he of the Centurion, he gave the body
of gave the body of Joseph to Joseph, excuse me,
and he bought fine linen and took it down, took
him down and wrapped him in the linen, and laid
him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock,
and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher.
And Mary and Magdalene the Mother, and Mary Magdalene and
Mary the mother of josephs beheld where he was laid.
My mind is racing a million miles a moment. That's
what's going wrong here. Chapter one of chapter sixteen of
and verse one. And when the Sabbath was passed, Mary
Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salomi had
brought sweet spices that they might come and anoint him.
Why were they going to the tomb to anoint Jesus.
He's not going to be there, sisters, He's not going
to be there. And very early in the morning on
the first day of the week, they came unto the
sepulcher at the rising of the sun, and they said
among themselves, who shall roll away the stone from the
door of the suppulcher? Why are you looking for a
stone to be there? Sisters? Let me just continue to
ask the question. And when they looked, they saw that
the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.
And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man,
that man obviously was an angel, sitting on the right side,
clothed in a long white garment, and they were affrighted,
and he said, unto them, don't be afraid. You seek
Jesus of Nazareth, which was past tense crucified. He is
right now, present, tense risen. He is not here. Behold
the place where they laid him. I need you to
behold the place where your hope was dead. I need
you to behold the place where your doubts had prevailed
over you. I want you to behold the place. I
want you to behold the place and look at where
you were sick, where your brother, your sister, your spouse,
your wife, your husband had died. I need you to
go to the place where you had lost hope. And
I want you to know that if if you will
yield your will to God, and I'm speaking to myself,
where you have fully submitted yourself to God and are
allowing Him to live his life within you, then you
can be raised. Your faith can be lifted up right.
The pain of all of the agony of disease that
you have suffered in the past can be removed. You
can have hope again. You can just dispel dispense with doubt.
Now you can be one of God's children, even though
you are thinking about the many things that you have
done wrong. Can God? Can God forgive me too? Yes?
I want you to look in that place where all
of the things that you thought were in the way
between your soul and your savior, and I want you
now to yield to him and say, God, I apologize,
Will you please forgive me, and you talk to him
about the things that have separated you, and know by
faith that because Jesus has risen, because he is no
longer in the tomb, because Jesus even now is ministering
in the heavenly sanctuary on your behalf, so you can
be saved. I want you to thank God and say, Okay,
I surrender my will to you. Thank you for the
power of the resurrection in my business. Thank you for
the power of resurrection in my personal development life. Thank
you for the power of resurrection in my relationship life,
in my spirituality, my holiness life. Thank you for the
power of resurrection in my life as a whole. And
then we read now in Colossians chapter two, beginning at
verse ten, and you have been filled in Him who
is the head over every ruler and authority. In Him,
you also were circumcised, not however, with a circumcision performed
by a human hand, but by the removal of the
fleshly body, that is, through the circumcision done by Christ.
Having been buried with him in baptism. You see if
you have been buried with him in baptism, in which
also you were raised with him through faith in the
powerful working of God who raised him from the dead.
Since Jesus is alive today, you can live eternally. You see,
you need to rejoice today, knowing that there is nothing
in your past that can keep you down if you
will be raised with Christ by faith. So give him
your life today. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
