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 --> 00:00:36,439
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, August seventeen,

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,240
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,960
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,920
where we give you God's Word every single day, and

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,759
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:51,880
study series through the Book of Exodus, and our caption

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,399
for today is at Mount Sinai. At Mount Sinai. We'll

17
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:00,479
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,000
like to say welcome to you and ask you to

19
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,400

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,040

application guide, and let us know where you are in

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,840
the world. At your Daily Portion dot com. This is

23
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:18,400
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

24
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:22,079
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,079
you for this Sunday morning and giving us the opportunity

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,159
to work and make a contribution in the world. Whether

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,959
we volunteer or we are gainfully employed or both. We

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,519
have the privilege of going into the world and helping

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,799
people get closer to You while we do our mundane tasks.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,480
Help us to remember you every moment of these days.

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,719
In Jesus name, I pray Amen and Amen again at

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Mount Sinai. Oh my, so much happened at Mount Sinai,

33
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,439
and we have so little time. So let's just keep

34
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:00,560
it very simple today and start out by reading from

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,599
Exodus chapter nineteen, and I'll read a few of the verses.

36
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:09,159
Between verses one and eight, I will read three, four, five,

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,800
and six. Let's go with that from the King James

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,000
version of the Bible, and it reads, and Moses went

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,520
up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,439
of the mountains, saying, so now God is speaking directly

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,080
to Moses. You have seen what I did unto the Egyptians.

42
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,879
So the first thing that you need to recognize. Besides

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,439
the fact that God is speaking, he has honored humanity

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,439
by letting humanity hear his voice in this case through

45
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,400
the person of Moses. But he's also letting his voice

46
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,080
be made known after he kept his promise. He said,

47
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,599
I'm going to deliver my people. He said that Pharaoh

48
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:59,159
is going to let my people go. And now he's

49
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,000
speaking again. And now the people of God need to

50
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:07,240
be keenly interested and queued in what is God going

51
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,159
to say? Okay, so now he's speaking to Moses. I

52
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,439
did what I said I was going to do unto

53
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,599
the Egyptians, and how I bear you on eagles wings

54
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,680
and brought you. I said this yesterday unto myself. Now, therefore,

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,199
if ye will obey my voice, he God is saying,

56
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,120
I have a requirement of you. Now he's always had it,

57
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,599
but he's he's giving Moses a revelation. Now I have

58
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:36,120
this requirement. I have gotten you out of the bondage

59
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,199
and oppression that you were in. I heard your moanings,

60
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,960
I saw all that you were going through. I made

61
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:47,800
a promise. I kept it. Now as I have brought

62
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,879
you to myself, I need you to obey my voice

63
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:55,840
indeed and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a

64
00:03:55,919 --> 00:04:01,639
peculiar treasure unto me above all people. For all the

65
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,680
earth is mine. And so there are times that people

66
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:08,039
say that they're number one. I happen to work with

67
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,159
the number one motivational speaker of the world and in

68
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,120
the world, and he actually is. He actually is, and

69
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,199
beyond that and even more than that. That's true, But

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,199
there are many times that people on the planet have

71
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:25,519
identified themselves as the best, as the number one, this

72
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,240
the top of that, and it's like, well, based on

73
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:32,319
what well et he can base this on his experience

74
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,639
and what the people that he has been serving have

75
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,399
been saying. And it is definitely true that he's indeed

76
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:42,800
and in fact what we know him to be the

77
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,279
number one in this reality in this regard. But there

78
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,680
are many times that people don't have the data, they

79
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,319
have no idea. But God is saying, I have all

80
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,720
the receipts, everything and every human on the planet is mine,

81
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,480
and I'm saying that You're going to be the peculiar

82
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:06,279
treasure above all people. I know all people because I

83
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,839
created all people. My eyes are still going to and

84
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,040
fro in the earth. I still see all people. I

85
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,199
have all of the data, all of the earth is mine,

86
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:19,920
and I'm saying I'm gonna set you above all of them,

87
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,360
and ye shall be verse six, you shall be unto me,

88
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,240
a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. You will

89
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,639
be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This

90
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,839
is God speaking. And so from the book Patriarchs and Prophets,

91
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,120
page three hundred and eleven. Had Israel obeyed the words

92
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,120
of the Angel, they would have been preserved from every foe.

93
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,040
God had pledged himself to be their protector. Obedience to

94
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:54,560
his law would make them marvels of prosperity before the

95
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,879
nations of the world. So I said yesterday that we

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,040
see what not to do. If you think you stand,

97
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:03,439
take heed lest you fall. Look at the things that

98
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,480
the people of God did as they made mistake after mistake,

99
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,480
unforced error after unforced error, harden their hearts when they

100
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,000
shouldn't have. But we do see examples of people who said, yes, Lord, yes,

101
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:17,519
so you're willing to your way, I'm going to do

102
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:25,360
exactly what you have said. They lived as a peculiar treasure.

103
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,720
And so the words peculiar treasure means a private, treasured

104
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,199
possession God. You know God possesses his people distinct from

105
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,720
the common property. You realize that you're not common if

106
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,079
you are God's child. Kings used this word to described

107
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,560
their most cherished belongings. Jesus said that because He gave

108
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,360
his life for you, you are his, and He cherishes you

109
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:00,399
above all things and all people on the earth. Kingdom

110
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:03,319
of priests, Kingdom of priests. Well, what does this mean?

111
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,879
A nation set apart for direct service to God and

112
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,800
to represent him to others. So you are his cherished

113
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:17,079
treasure and your purpose is as you are set apart

114
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,720
for service to God, you represent him. You are God's ambassador.

115
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:24,720
Do you understand now you're calling the reason even though

116
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,480
you have gone through all of those trials and tribulations,

117
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:31,879
even though maybe your earthly parents weren't what they should

118
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:34,319
have been, maybe they were, thank God if they were.

119
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,680
No matter where you came from, was it the palace

120
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,519
or the ghetto, like or worse, it doesn't matter where

121
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:46,079
you came from, because God has cherished you, empowered you

122
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,639
delivered you, put you into His service directly so you

123
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,160
would be his ambassador. M m. Yes, your passport in

124
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,639
the universe is diplomatic in nature, you have diplomatic immunity.

125
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,600
From a spiritual perspective, you understand you are a holy nation,

126
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,600
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Yes,

127
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,199
you have been called out of darkness into this marvelous light.

128
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,079
This is the calling that God has on all of

129
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,000
our lives. If we're his, Yes, and so you're not

130
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,160
your own. God bought you with a price on purpose

131
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:34,360
to himself. God's calling includes responsibility. Now you're his ambassador.

132
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,879
You need to live like an ambassador of God, speak

133
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,960
like an ambassador of God, Encounter and experience people as

134
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:45,639
if you represent the king of the universe, because in fact,

135
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:49,360
and indeed you do, He didn't just deliver his people,

136
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:54,000
He gave them a role to represent him. God still

137
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,320
wants holy people. There's plenty good room in the kingdom.

138
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,720
I remember the song back in the day when I

139
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:03,039
was a child, plenty good room in the kingdom. He's

140
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,120
rescuing the perishing, Yes, and so I know that he's

141
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,039
rescuing people. But he's also asking us, by his power,

142
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,759
commanding us in fact, to be holy. For the Lord,

143
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:21,519
our God is holy. Obedience is not legalism, It's not

144
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,200
it really isn't. God gives us the privilege to love,

145
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:33,360
and it flows from that covenant loyalty. Finally, God promised relationship, identity,

146
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,159
and purpose. He didn't just save the people from Egypt,

147
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,279
but he brought them unto himself. The goal was more

148
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,080
than the promised land. It was to become ambassadors of

149
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:45,159
Almighty God himself.

150
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

151
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

152
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

153
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
