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 Thursday. It's
May twenty two, 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 how to study Bible Prophecy,
and our caption for today is teach transgressors your way,
teach transgressor there is your way. I was still writing
notes right while it was my cue to come on,
and uh yeah, I made it. Thank God, thank God,
thank God. Well, I'd just like to say welcome to
everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very
first time. I'm asking you to please go over to
your Daily Portion dot com. You'll see it right about
here in a second, your Daily Portion dot Com. And
I want you to pick up the Your Daily Portion
Life Application Guide if you have not already done so,
and if you have share, share a couple of copies
with somebody else who's also studying this lesson. Also, please
please click that red button. There's a red button there
for a special community and let us 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 go ahead and pray, and
then we will get underway. Father, We thank you for
giving us the opportunity to study together, to listen for
your voice together, and then do your will together. Please teach,
help us to teach people who don't know you the way.
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. So
I almost missed my cue when the guy says author speaker,
his name is Mac author Speaker El David Harris. And
I was writing really quickly, really quickly on my notes
because I know the way. Why was I writing that
so feverishly? At the last minute? I was considering in
the moment waiting for my cue that this lesson writer says,
based on the scripture that David will treat will teat
transgressors your way meaning God's way. Well, well, how is
that person? How is David going to do that? How
am I going to do that? Why am I going
to do that? This is all that popped up in
my mind in the last moments. You know why because
because because I know the way. Yeah, the broadcast has
not broken. I said, because I know the way. There
are a couple of things. Now, Jesus said, you do
know the way. I am the Way, the Truth and
the life. No man cometh unto the Father except by me.
Because the disciples were like, we don't know the way,
Please show us the way. Well that's one thing, but no,
that's what I mean. But there's something more. There's something more.
I know the pathway that transgressors who are becoming saints
of God need to take because I have transgressed the
law of God. The Bible says that when that sin
is the transgression of the law, that means that means
that I that I as a sinner who has transgressed
the law of God and worthy of eternal death. But
when I receive mercy from God, when I received grace
from God through faith that God gave me, and I
started to walk the pathway toward holiness. Now I can say, hey, brother,
hey sister, I know the way, and I want you
to follow me, just like Paul said, follow me as
I follow Christ. I know the way. I know the way,
and so I can help you because I know the way. Now,
there is a reason that some people are reluctant to
help others get connected to God, and I'll share that
in just a moment. There's a reason why some people
are reluctant to help others get close or connected to God.
Let me begin. Let me begin with Psalm chapter fifty
one and verse seven. The Bible reads, purge me with hissup,
and I shall be clean, Wash me and I will
be whiter than snow. And Isaiah chapter six, verses seven
and eight. The Bible says, your iniquity, the Angel said
to Isaiah, is taken away, and your sin is purged.
And then of course, when the invitation comes, who will
I sin? Who shall go for us? He says, here
am I send me? Now? Both David and Isaiah were
in awe of God. They were aware, keenly and palpably
aware of their sinfulness. But once they were cleansed, somebody
needs to start worshiping now. Once they were cleansed, they
had the awareness of their cleansing. They had the awareness
that it was it was God who gave them what
they did not deserve. He gave them holiness, He gave
them cleansing from sin. Yes, Jesus died the death that
we deserve so that we can live the life that
he deserves. This is our full and present awareness in
twenty twenty five. Since that is the case. Now, once
they're cleansed, once we're cleansed, we step into action, we
step into service. We're not reserving anything for our anymore.
We're saying, where Thou leadest, God, I will follow, et cetera.
So we can't serve from guilt or shame. We can't
serve because we're bracing for some negative thing to happen. God,
his cleansing qualifies us for the mission. I said, God's
cleansing qualifies us for the mission. Sometimes people say God
doesn't need human beings to close up the work, that
is to share the gospel with people and it's just like,
I know what you're trying to say. But really and truly,
who can give a testimony better than a human being
who was a sinner saved by grace? Who can give
a testimony that could say I was sinking deep in sin,
far from the peaceful shore, very deeply stained within, sinking
to rise no more. But the master of the sea
heard my despairing cry. The Angel didn't have to have
a despairing cry, and from the waters he lifts me.
The angel didn't need to be lifted from the waters
of sin, And now safe am I Love lifted me.
So this is a special ministry and calling that only
redeemed humans have. Number two after mercy comes ministry. In
Psalm chapter fifty one, verse thirteen, the Bible reads, then
I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will be
converted unto thee That's because people will see your life
and they will say, oh, my goodness, if God can
transform you. I've seen you drinking and smoking. I've seen
you violent towards your spouse. I have seen you do
all kinds of things in the name of God that
God does not condone. I've seen you rebel against God,
I've seen you be unkind toward people. I've seen the
pride and the puffed up chests that you used to have.
But now I see you connected to God in such
a way that I am so drawn to him. Can
you show me the way? The reality is that people
who once rebelled who now are choosing to serve God
are the best case studies, the best examples of people
to other people to say, God is able to do
it for you, so your testimony of forgiveness can be
someone else's breakthrough. God uses healed people to heal others.
I said a little bit earlier that there is a
reason that there is a reluctance on the part of
some people to help others to get connected to God.
You have to beg them, to help beg them because
there are people out there dying in their sins and
you have to beg them. That's because they have not
yet embraced or maybe they embraced and then rejected later,
but they are not currently embracing the beauty of the
forgiveness of God. They are not currently and presently appreciative
and empowered by the fact that God has cleansed them. Yeah,
it's the reality. Yeah, you don't have to text me,
it's true. Yeah. Number three, worship is restored when guilt
is removed. The Bible writer says, deliver me, and my
tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, open
my lips and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
And there is so much more to say. The fact is,
the fact is, the ones who praise God most are
the ones who are forgiven most. I think Jesus said it.
The ones who love most are the ones who are
forgiven most, as you are forgiven and cleansed. Now you
know how to teach people who also need to be
forgiven and cleansed. Peace.
Speaker 1: 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,
