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 --> 00:00:27,359
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,039

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday. It's

11
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,679
May twenty eight, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is

12
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:42,240
El David Harris. I am your host, and this is

00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,119
single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,320
in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,320
and our caption for today is wine and Blood. Wine

17
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:01,799
and Blood. We'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,079
but first I'd like to just say welcome to everyone

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,239

are in the world at your Daily portion dot com.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,959
This is one of the ways that we continue to

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,280
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,400
then we will get underway. Father, we do thank you

27
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,400
for giving us the opportunity to open up your word,

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,319
and I'm asking you to please go over in our

29
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,680
minds those things that matter most to you. Help us

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,159
to be to be connected with you in a special way. Father,

31
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:50,920
Please teach us how to love you, and when we're thirsty,

32
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:54,719
to drink from your well and not the wells of

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,920
the world. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and a man,

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,079
and again, are you thirsty? That's a question this morning?

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,960
Are you thirsty? Which cup do you drink from to

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,800
satisfy your thirst? And of course today we have two cups,

37
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,400
two cups from which to choose, and we'll talk about

38
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,240
that in detail beginning now. So we're going now into

39
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:28,680
the Bible Book of Psalms, chapter seventy five. Which cup

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,800
are you willing to drink from when you're thirsty? Verses

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,199
seven and eight. The Bible reads, but God is the judge.

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,960
He puteth down one and setteth up another for the

43
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,599
hand of the Lord. For in the hand of the

44
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,240
Lord there is a cup. I told you, when you're thirsty,

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,960
you have two cups from which to choose. There is

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,360
a cup, and the wine is red. He poureth out

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,400
of the same. But the dregs thereof all the of

48
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:06,520
the earth shall ring them out and drink them. So,

49
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:09,199
when you're thirsty, do you want to drink from the

50
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:14,280
cup of God's wrath? That should be a hearty no.

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560
That should be a no. But there are some key

52
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,759
judgment themes. We'll come back to that in a moment.

53
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,199
Some key judgment themes in the Book of Psalms, chapter

54
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,479
seventy five. Of course, we won't go through the entire book, right,

55
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,479
but or the chapter. But God alone judges, not human powers.

56
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,560
I'm talking about true judgment comes from God, not humans.

57
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,240
There is a cup. There is a symbol of judgment.

58
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,120
That is wrath, that is consequences for sin. That is

59
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,240
the cup you don't want to drink from. Can I

60
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,159
just say that, like, nobody listening to me should be

61
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680
wanting to drink from that cup. But sometimes people set

62
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:57,560
themselves up. Sometimes we set ourselves up to drink from

63
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,879
that cup. The righteous are presented as exalted in verses

64
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:07,000
nine and ten. Now there is another cup. I did

65
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:08,800
mention it to you. Let's read about it in the

66
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Book of Matthew. The Book of Matthew, chapter twenty six.

67
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,759
If you read verses twenty six through twenty nine, you'll

68
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,680
get the gist of it. But let me just read

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,920
from verse twenty eight, and the Bible reads, for this

70
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,480
is my blood of the New Covenant or New Testament,

71
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:30,040
which is shed for you or for the many, for

72
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,480
the remission of sin. So the cup, the cup of

73
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,959
the New Testament, the cup of mercy. That is the

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,360
cup that we want to drink from. You See, we

75
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,879
know that we are sinners saved by grace. We are

76
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,879
sinners who have turned our backs on him. All have

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,920
sin and comes short of the glory of God. And

78
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,839
the individuals who get that memo under the Holy Ghost

79
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:54,800
and say, you know what, God, I don't like the

80
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,480
way that I have treated you. I realize that I

81
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,759
have turned my back on you when you have given

82
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,480
me every possible thing in order to be saved. I

83
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:06,560
am willing to let you be in control of my life.

84
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Thank you for your mercy. We're drinking from the cup

85
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,439
of mercy. I know that I've been disrespectful to people.

86
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,319
I've been unkind in some situations. I've allowed pride to

87
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:20,079
separate between you and I and between me and other people.

88
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,639
I've allowed all of the things that I enjoy as

89
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,639
a human being that did not love God. In entertainment,

90
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,519
listening to and seeing and places that I've gone, I

91
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:34,680
know that those things have separated from me. Thank you

92
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,879
for this cup of the New Testament, this covenant that

93
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,600
you've made with me that you can make me holy.

94
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,399
Thank you for giving me mercy. I'll drink from that cup.

95
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
And so an insight from that principle is that God

96
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,920
also gives us a cup. He's offering this one freely

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,199
to us, but this one is poured out with forgiveness.

98
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,720
God is pouring out Just imagine He's serving you with forgiveness,

99
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,639
not wrath. At the cross, Jesus actually drank the cup

100
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,160
of judgment and wrath for people who have broken the

101
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,759
law of God. He's drunk that cup already, but he

102
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:17,120
is now giving us the privilege of drinking from the

103
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,720
cup of mercy. Now. Now this is in contrast to

104
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,160
the cup in Psalm chapter seventy five and then the

105
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,079
ultimate one that is just like that one in Revelation

106
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,560
chapter fourteen, verses nine through twelve. So there's the cup

107
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,439
of wrath, there's the cup of mercy, but then there

108
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,680
is the straight up no chaser that is not mixed

109
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:48,120
cup of ultimate wrath that comes to people who reject

110
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:54,920
God's mercy, who ultimately have rejected God's mercy. In Revelation

111
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,920
chapter fourteen and verse ten, the Bible reads the saying

112
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
those individuals God forbid the saying, shall drink of the

113
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,600
wine of the wrath of God, which has poured out

114
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:12,079
without mixture into the cup of his indignation. This judgment

115
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,439
comes to those who reject God's authority regularly, who don't

116
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,240
choose to repent of those sins, those individuals who say

117
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,079
that even though Jesus gave his life for us, that's

118
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920
not enough. I just want to live my own happy

119
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:30,759
life according to my own laws, my own principles. Never

120
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,639
mind that God has given us a pathway when he

121
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
says this is the way, walking in it, when the

122
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Holy Ghost says, no, go this way. There is a

123
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:42,040
way that seemeth right to a human being, to a man,

124
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,360
to a woman, to a boy, to a girl. But

125
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:47,240
the ways thereof are the ways of death. This is

126
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:51,439
the right pathway. Choose the Lord and serve him, that

127
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,160
is the right pathway. Yes, but there are people who say,

128
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,800
you know what, I don't really care what God did

129
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:59,240
for me. I don't really care what you all say

130
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,839
that God did for me. I'm going to eat, drink,

131
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,240
and be merry because tomorrow I die. I don't really

132
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,279
care what God wants. This is what some people are choosing.

133
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,079
And in that case, those individuals in the end of

134
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,680
the end of time, if they're living during that time,

135
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,519
they will receive, unfortunately, the mark of the beast. It

136
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,439
is unmixed, meaning there is no mercy mixed in that

137
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,600
cup of wrath. And so what is that steak? Really?

138
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,199
What is that steak is deciding? It's a decision. It's simple.

139
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,399
We get to decide whom will we worship. Will we

140
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,600
worship the devil that we talked about yesterday going up

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,720
and down into and fro in the earth, or will

142
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,440
we worship God in the beauty of holiness. It's very simple.

143
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,600
It's very simple. And so there's so much I could say,

144
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:50,360
but let me say in these few moments, just more

145
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,039
than two minutes to go, that we should live in

146
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,559
hope and not in the headline so much chaos, so

147
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,960
much brokenness, things that will draw the wrath of God

148
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,720
at some point. We don't need to judge God's plan

149
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,039
by the current chaos. How long the Bible writers said,

150
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,159
Oh Lord, how long will you allow the wicked people

151
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,399
to prosper? Do not live according to those headlines. Live

152
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,159
according to hope, hope in God. Refuse the lie of

153
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,440
self exaltation that causes us to separate ourselves from God,

154
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,559
and then work for the good now while longing for

155
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,399
God's final justice. And when He is seen and is

156
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:43,600
as just as he is, his people will inherit the earth.

157
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Make it a great day, peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.

158
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

159
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

160
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make

161
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
