03 10 2026 Renewed in Knowledge · 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 Tuesday, March tenth,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 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
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: study series uniting Heaven and Earth, christ in Philippians and Colossians,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and our caption is Renewed in Knowledge, Renewed in Knowledge.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to say welcome
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: very first time. I'm asking you to please go over
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Please please click the contribute button. We are listener and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: viewer supported, and also let us know where you are
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. This
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is one of the ways we continue to build faith
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and we will
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: get underway. Father, We thank you for this day and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: for the renewal that comes through Christ. Help us to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: cooperate with you. Please, in Jesus name, I pray Amen
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and a man again renewed in knowledge. And so I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: just need to really start off with the fact that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we are not interested and simply enriching our intellect, which
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is good, but it's not great. It's good, it's good
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for information, and maybe on a great day it's good
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: for inspiration. But if we want transformation, the knowledge is
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of Christ. It's the intimate kind of knowledge, like when
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Adam and Eve came together. The Bible says that Adam
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he knew his wife Eve, and they bear a son.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And so when we talk about it, that is what
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: we're talking about. This is holy knowledge that is fruitful.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It bears fruit unto salvation. And so in the Bible
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Book of Colossians, chapter three, verses six through eleven, we
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: read for which things sake the wrath of God cometh
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: on the children of disobedience, So of course we're not
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: interested in being children of disobedience. All we're interested in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: is accepting the the blessing of relationship with God. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: then this doesn't apply. Can I could? Can I continue
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: verse seven in the Witch, ye also walked sometime. That's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: past tense. Uh huh type of one in the chat.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: If you used to walk in disobedience past tense, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: would be typing one one one one one one one
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: one like I used to be. Unfortunately unsaved. Even though
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I grew up in a pastor's home, well that was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a weird situation because it wasn't the kind of home
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you would expect. Of course I may have shared with
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you before that. My grandfather on my mother's side was
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: also a pastor. One of my uncles was a pastor
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: who taught a colleague and friend of mine who could
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: be my mother, Like I come from this, except it
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't unto transformation. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just saying the titles did not mean transformation in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: case of my family. And so, uh yeah, I once
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in the past was one who walked away from God.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I walked on the opposite side of the street as
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: God when ye lived in them Verse eight. But now
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I thank God for the now. But now ye also
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: put off these things like what anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: filthy communication out your mouth. Okay, I didn't say like that,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: but out of your mouth lie not to one another,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: seeing that ye have put off the old man with
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: his deeds. So I want you to get alone with
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: God and be honest with Him and honest with yourself.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Are you really putting off the old person and the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: old person's deeds or do you just kind of bathe
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it off a little bit once in a while, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that's between you and God? Like, be honest. Is it
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that you really are taking off the old man? Are
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you really truly covered in the righteousness of Christ? Have
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you disavowed that time of your life when you were
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the road away from Christ
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Verse ten, and have put on the new Man, which
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is renewed in knowledge. Thank God, after the image of
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Him that created him. One of the things I love
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: about Jesus is that he created us, but he also
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: seeing what went wrong when Adam chose to sin, it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was Adam's fault that we are in this mess. He
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: also recreated us. He took responsibility. That's one of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: things I teach Josiah about our son. I teach him
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to take responsibility, not just to find a way to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: wiggle out of like what went wrong, or say just
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the right thing to make Daddy stop talking to him
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: when God forbid something goes wrong, but to take responsibility,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to take ownership, to say, yes, this is the way
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that I should have gone, but I didn't, And this
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: is the way we're going to make the adjustment. You see,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and so and so put on the new Man, which
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is renewed to knowledge after the image of Him that
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: created him. Where there is neither Jew nor Greek circumcision,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: nor uncircumcision, Barbarian or Scythian bond or free but Christ
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: is all and in all. Okay. So what God is
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: saying is that this is a level playing field. Every
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: single person can make a decision, beginning right now, if
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you've not already done so, make a decision almost seven
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: minutes into our broadcast, to say yes to God. Say
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: yes to God and live not according to the way
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you live on the opposite side of the street from God.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But in a right relationship with God, whatever God says
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that we will do by his grace, and so lesson
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: number one is new life requires a clear break with
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the old life. That's very clear. A clear break, not
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a weaning off of right, not a permissive sort of well,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: let me just okay, so once in a while we
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: can do this sin, and God's working with me. So
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: he knows that, you know, in you know, six weeks time,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: or in a year's time, or you know, well, he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: knows I don't always do no, no, no clean break, brothers
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and sisters. Bible says to put ye on the Lord
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: fulfill the lusts thereof. So if it happens to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that you're you're going to turn away from smoking cigarettes
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: with the right help, you throw away all of your cigarettes,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you don't. You don't keep the pack around and say, well,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: instead of smoking six cigarettes today, I'm gonna smoke. That's
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: not how this thing works Paul's words. But now I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: told you I like the contrast signal. A decisive break.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Life in Christ is not a revised version of the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: old life. So if I was religiously proud, thinking that
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I am doing something because maybe I perform certain practices,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and then God owes me something. Well, it's a clean
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: break from that. Life in Christ is not a revised
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: version of the old life. It is a different life altogether.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: The quote old man refers to the former identity shaped
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: by sin and self rule. Renewal begins when the identity
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: is consciously laid aside. I don't want it no more.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be about that life anymore. And
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: so the action step is to identify one habit or
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: an attitude or a speech pattern that belongs to your
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: our former life, and intentionally put it away today through
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: prayer and accountability. Lesson number two is Renewal happens through truth.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Through truth, not just what we feel about the truth,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: what we hope about the truth, but truth in reality.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: The new life is renewed through knowledge. Growth is not
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: driven by emotional highs, but by the Holy Ghost giving
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: us understanding of his truth. Renewal is ongoing, It is deliberate.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The mind is reshaped as truth replaces deception. I am
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: so glad that God renews people in the knowledge.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: They are joining us listening. Friends always Remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
