10 20 2025 War in Heaven · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Monday, October
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for today is War in Heaven, War in Heaven. Go
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ahead and pray and then get underway. Father, We thank you,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: thank you for this day. Thank you for giving us
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the privilege of being called by your name and to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: have the Captain of the heavenly Hosts on our side.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I pray that we will no longer have battles in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: wars against you. In Jesus' name, I pray amen, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a man again war in heaven. Now, let me start
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: here before we get into the lesson and ask you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: was our Friday night session fruitful for you? Like? Would
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you join us again Friday night at seven pm on
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the YouTube channel for your daily portion? Just say yes
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to music again, Yes to music in the chat or
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in the comment section after the fact. If if this
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: was something that was beneficial to you, then we will
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: consider having this worship session again. And that comes to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: my mind because the one who was in charge of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: many things, but the covering Cherub, Lucifer, one of his
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: gifts and responsibilities had to do with ushering the heavenly
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: agencies into worship his pipes. The Bible talks about his
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: ability to emit music. I don't know. Did he sing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: music in harmony? Did his vocal chords sound like organs?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. All I know is that that was
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: part of his responsibility. And this is why many of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: your music ministries, in different churches and in different types
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of ministries are under attack because Lucifer, the former Lucifer,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: who is now the devil no longer has the privilege
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of ushering people into true worship, and so he ushers
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in the counterfeit instead. And there was war in heaven.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Joshua understood that the battle was part of a larger conflict.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And of course, some of you are awaiting this passage
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: from the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter twelve, And I'll
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: begin reading at verse seven Revelation chapter twelve, And I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: will begin at verse seven, And the Bible reads, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: war broke out in heaven. Mike Al and his angels
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So now we have Jesus and the heavenly bodies who
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: are holy, and then Lucifer, who has now fallen and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: become the Dragon, and his angels. They are having a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: war in heaven. But of course, of course, the Bible
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: continues in verse eight. But they, meaning the Devil and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: his evil angels, did not prevail, nor was a place
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: found for them in heaven any longer. So the great
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Dragon was cast out. He was cast out of old,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: called the devil and Satan, who deceives the entire world.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: He was cast out into the earth, and his angels
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: were cast out with him. And Joshua understood that what
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he was up against was not human. Only he knew
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that there were principalities and powers and rulers of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: darkness of this world, in spiritual wickedness and high places
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that he had to contend with. And in Isaiah chapter fourteen,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the Bible continues to describe the devil as he is fallen,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse twelve, How art thou fallen from Heaven?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Oh Lucifer, Son of the Morning. You could look at
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the passage as a text, as a statement to just
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: identifies that Lucifer had fallen, or you could also look
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: at it as how in the world did you put
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: yourself in that situation? There are human beings right now
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: under the influence of the enemy of our souls, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you wonder they are so gifted, they are are so talented.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: They seem to be great contributors to their community associations,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: your homeowners association, or your school what do you call
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it pta, or the team that your children are playing
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in American football or football in Jamaica and other parts
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: of the world, or in other events, like you wonder,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: how can this guy, how can this woman? How can
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they be whoa they did that. How art thou falling?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: This is what God is saying, like, after all that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I entrusted to you all of the great things that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you had done in my presence, and you're fallen. How
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: aren't you are? How you are cut down to the ground,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You who weakened the nations for you said in your heart,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I will ascend. Oh, he had an eye problem unto heaven.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I will exalt my throne above the stars. What thrown?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: What thrown is he talking about? So he's usurping or
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: attempting to usurp the authority of God. I will exalt
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: my throne above the stars. I will also sit on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the north. I will ascend, excuse me, ascend above the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: heights of the clouds. And then he does it. Then
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: he does it. He says, I will be like the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: most high. And in many ways, the enemy of our
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: souls has people on planet Earth who think and behave
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in the same way. There were people during the time
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of Joshua, whole nations who felt like they were big
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and strong enough to contend with the people of God,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: whose commander in chief is God like they thought that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: they had a chance. They thought that all that they
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: had heard about the exploits of the people of God
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: under his authority, all of that stuff that had happened
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in the past, they thought that they would be immune
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to it. And they tried to war against God's people.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And in the same way that the devil, that the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: devil tried it in heaven, he tries it on planet Earth.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And there's sometimes that we pray, according to Daniel Danielle
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: chapter ten, Well, just read the entire chapter. There are
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: times that we pray, and we're praying, and sometimes we think,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: as we are fasting, we are crying, we are begging,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we are awaiting the voice of God, the answer to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: prayer that we had been anticipating, and it seems like
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it'll never happen. And in Daniel's case, it was twenty
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: one long days that he was hoping for an answer
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to prayer, seeking God's face, and nothing, or at least
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: apparently nothing. But we read in Daniel chapter ten that
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: basically the angel Gabriel, in the four minutes that it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: took for Daniel to pray his prayer, had already been
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: given the command to go down and to give Daniel
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: everything he needed that the Bible says that he was
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: hung up in traffic for twenty one days. The angel
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of God, Gabriel was hung up in traffic, and therefore
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: God sent the commander of the heavenly armies, Jesus Christ himself.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus now goes down and says, Gabriel, I got it
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: from here. I'll deal with the enemy. Here you go
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and deal with my beloved son Daniel, and give him
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the skill, give him the encouragement, give him the message
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that he needs to get through. So sometimes your prayers
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: are answered in the moment that you prayed them, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: God has already dispatched heavenly angels to give you what
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you need. And yet the enemy sometimes withstands them and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it takes a second. But just know that God always
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: comes through. And so Daniel was a good example of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the situation where where Josiah Joshua was going through whatever
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: his battles were, right before the people of God went
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: into the Promised Land. And so what I want to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: do here is focus your attention in our life application
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: guide that you can get at your Daily portion dot Com.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and type of one in the chat. If
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you already have it type of one in the chat,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and I want you to focus on the relationship application,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the relationship application. And let me just say one thing,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: one thing, that God is the one who is overcoming
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the principalities and powers because people are not our enemy.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The devil is Thanks for to.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Days listening friends, always remember we cannot live by bread alone,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make it a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah,
