Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:08Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Sabbath. It's
- 0:36Speaker 2: August two, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle
- 0:40Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
- 0:42Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
- 0:46Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
- 0:50Speaker 2: lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. This is
- 0:52Speaker 2: lesson number six, where almost halfway through this quarter's lesson.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Our caption for today is through the Red Sea. Through
- 1:02Speaker 2: the Red Sea. We'll get into that in just a moment,
- 1:06Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
- 1:07Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Please let us know where you are right there at
- 1:13Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot Com let us know where you
- 1:16Speaker 2: are and also join our online community. This is one
- 1:19Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we thank you for giving us this day our daily bread.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us the fullness of your spirit.
- 1:34Speaker 2: And I'm asking you to get us through the red
- 1:37Speaker 2: seeds of doubt, the red seeds of broken relationship. Please
- 1:42Speaker 2: get us through the red seas of separation from you.
- 1:46Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray a man and a man
- 1:51Speaker 2: again through the red sea. Ah. Okay, So let's go
- 1:58Speaker 2: ahead and jump in to Exodus chapter fourteen, and I'll
- 2:02Speaker 2: read verse twenty one. That's the book of Exodus chapter fourteen,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and I will read verse twenty one, and the Bible
- 2:10Speaker 2: reads and Moses stretched out his hand over the sea.
- 2:14Speaker 2: I want you to get the scene there. Moses is
- 2:18Speaker 2: stretching forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord
- 2:23Speaker 2: caused I want you to type in the chat God
- 2:27Speaker 2: cost God caused the Lord caused the sea to go
- 2:36Speaker 2: back by a strong east wind. All that night. The
- 2:43Speaker 2: Lord did that. He caused that sea to go back
- 2:50Speaker 2: by a strong east wind. All night. You see, God's
- 2:55Speaker 2: ways are not our ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts.
- 2:58Speaker 2: As high as the heavens are or above the earth,
- 3:01Speaker 2: are God's thoughts above our thoughts. I don't understand why
- 3:04Speaker 2: God didn't just transport these guys all, however, many millions
- 3:08Speaker 2: of them, and just skip the whole Red Sea incident,
- 3:11Speaker 2: Like what is the purpose of that? In the same
- 3:14Speaker 2: way that Philip was transported. I don't even know what
- 3:17Speaker 2: the right word for it is. But he was with
- 3:19Speaker 2: this dude that he just got finished baptizing, and then boom,
- 3:23Speaker 2: immediately he was an Azotus, Like why didn't God just
- 3:27Speaker 2: do that? Why didn't he just do that? Why didn't
- 3:30Speaker 2: he lift them up and push them over the Red Sea?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Like?
- 3:33Speaker 2: Why did he need to go through all of that?
- 3:36Speaker 2: Now I just imposed a word, I said need. Well,
- 3:39Speaker 2: he didn't need to do anything. He did whatever he
- 3:42Speaker 2: was planning to do because he was planning to do it.
- 3:46Speaker 2: And I like the lessons that we get through it.
- 3:48Speaker 2: So first of all, First of all, the wind ruach
- 3:52Speaker 2: that is in the Hebrew tongue of that term wind
- 3:57Speaker 2: is the same as breath. It is saying spirit. It
- 4:01Speaker 2: is the same word that is used for the Spirit
- 4:05Speaker 2: of God in Genesis, chapter one and verse twelve. Can
- 4:08Speaker 2: I just say that when God is about to move
- 4:11Speaker 2: you from here to where you need to be, when
- 4:15Speaker 2: God is setting your feet along the right pathway for
- 4:19Speaker 2: your life and eternity, the Holy Ghost is going to
- 4:23Speaker 2: be present, and he's going to be present to do
- 4:27Speaker 2: exactly what he needs to do with no residue of
- 4:31Speaker 2: your old life. You see, the Bible teaches us by
- 4:35Speaker 2: using the word dry ground, dry ground, and it's and
- 4:41Speaker 2: it is yabasha. I know what I would think if
- 4:44Speaker 2: I heard somebody say that, just calm down, calm down,
- 4:47Speaker 2: But that's what it is in Hebrew yabasha. That means
- 4:51Speaker 2: complete dryness, not muddy or damp, And that means that
- 4:59Speaker 2: when God, God delivers you, he could he delivers you,
- 5:02Speaker 2: He delivers you completely completely. The Spirit of God did
- 5:08Speaker 2: what was impossible in nature for nature to do. There
- 5:12Speaker 2: is literally no way in the world that the Red
- 5:16Speaker 2: Sea could have parted. There is no way in the
- 5:19Speaker 2: world except the Holy Ghost blew on this water and
- 5:22Speaker 2: it moved from side to the other side, and then
- 5:27Speaker 2: make a pathway that is completely dry, not muddy, not damp,
- 5:32Speaker 2: except that God did it, the same God who separated
- 5:36Speaker 2: the land from the waters, the same one that separated
- 5:41Speaker 2: the waters above from the waters beneath, the same God
- 5:44Speaker 2: that put all of those living creatures in the sea.
- 5:48Speaker 2: He said, okay, it's time to separate. What does God
- 5:52Speaker 2: need to separate you from today this Sabbath morning? What
- 5:57Speaker 2: old paradigm, what old broken thought? Process? What relationship? What habit?
- 6:02Speaker 2: What addiction? Does God need to separate you from to day? Now?
- 6:07Speaker 2: From the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page two hundred and
- 6:10Speaker 2: eighty seven, it reads, the mighty hand of God was
- 6:13Speaker 2: stretched out. God's people passed over the sea dry shod,
- 6:20Speaker 2: and the Egyptian host were overwhelmed. You see, the devil
- 6:26Speaker 2: is overwhelmed by the power of God. The devil cannot
- 6:30Speaker 2: have dominion over the people of God who are passing
- 6:34Speaker 2: through on dry ground, because the Holy Ghost is there.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Who I think you're getting it now? And then from
- 6:40Speaker 2: the book Christ's object Lessons, page one hundred and seventy seven.
- 6:44Speaker 2: The path where God leads the way may lie through
- 6:49Speaker 2: the desert or the sea, but it is a safe path.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Whether he takes you through the desert, it's the safe
- 6:58Speaker 2: path if he takes you through the Red Sea, it
- 7:01Speaker 2: is the safe path. And if I were to fast
- 7:03Speaker 2: forward the story some years and it was through the
- 7:07Speaker 2: Jordan River, again it is the safe path. And from
- 7:11Speaker 2: the book Prophets in King's page two hundred and fifty three,
- 7:15Speaker 2: the people of God were unarmed, untrained, and trembling. But
- 7:23Speaker 2: God type in the chat, go ahead one more time.
- 7:26Speaker 2: But God opened the way and their faith grew by deliverance.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Thank God, so many passages we could use here to
- 7:38Speaker 2: enhance what we are studying. But let me just say,
- 7:41Speaker 2: the Red Sea crossing was not only about the deliverance
- 7:44Speaker 2: of God's people, but it was of the judgment of
- 7:49Speaker 2: God's enemies. I wish I had the time the moment.
- 7:54Speaker 2: This moment sealed God's people's liberation and began their identity
- 8:01Speaker 2: as free covenant people. And I know, I know that
- 8:07Speaker 2: they really still had a slave mentality. Everybody that was
- 8:11Speaker 2: above age twenty at the time, those individuals had a
- 8:16Speaker 2: slave mentality, except for Joshua and Caleb. Even dear Moses,
- 8:21Speaker 2: there was a level of a slave mentality even with him.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I wish I had the time aaron, even with him,
- 8:28Speaker 2: But but it was a baptism, a baptism of faith
- 8:33Speaker 2: and separation from those false gods and false systems. I'm
- 8:37Speaker 2: going to talk about another one of those false gods.
- 8:39Speaker 2: If the Lord spaars life tomorrow and slavery. So in
- 8:44Speaker 2: everyday life, what we need to be thinking about is
- 8:46Speaker 2: that God makes a way through impossible barriers. I think
- 8:50Speaker 2: you can say amen to this. He's done it for you.
- 8:53Speaker 2: What looks like a wall of water becomes a path
- 8:56Speaker 2: of freedom when God leads the wind or the spirit
- 8:59Speaker 2: work all night. Don't mistake silence for absence. I think
- 9:04Speaker 2: somebody said something that that that that something endures for
- 9:09Speaker 2: a night, but joy comes in the morning. Weeping may
- 9:13Speaker 2: endure for a night, Silence may endure for a night.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Your troubles may endure for a night, but then then
- 9:21Speaker 2: joy comes in the morning. So victory comes by faith
- 9:25Speaker 2: and not force. God's people didn't fight. They walked forward
- 9:29Speaker 2: in obedience. Shout to e T and the forward squad
- 9:34Speaker 2: at Apok. They walked forward in obedience, and God fought
- 9:39Speaker 2: for them. Because we can stand still and see the salvation.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Friends, always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
- 9:50Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
