05 09 2024 Truth Triumphant · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good
• 0:34
  morning. It is Thursday, May nine, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:38
  my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
• 0:41
  your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today
• 0:46
  is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson study series the Great Controversy.
• 0:51
  Our caption for today is truth triumpphent. May I say that again truth
• 0:58
  Triumphant into that in just a moment, But first I'd like to say welcome
• 1:03
  to you and ask you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:07
  This is where we have our discussion concerning these studies, and every morning
• 1:12
  you will see a post that says we're live it's Thursday morning, it's Friday
• 1:17
  morning, whatever day it is. And then after we are done with our
• 1:21
  broadcast, you'll see, well, what are your takeaways? One please at
• 1:26
  least one, but maybe up to three. So just go ahead and continue
• 1:29
  to follow those posts, and then we can continue to build faith and fellowship
• 1:34
  there. Also, please pick up the your daily portion book and let us
• 1:37
  know where you are in the world. And I am privileged that we can
• 1:42
  come together in this fashion. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:46
  will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new
• 1:49
  Thursday morning, and for the blessing that you have given us to see what
• 1:53
  the truth really is and to live in I pray God that you will give
• 1:57
  us understanding, but not just understanding, help us to have a will to
• 2:01
  do what you have called us to do. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 2:06
  Amen and Amen again. Truth triumphant. I typed. Oh, actually
• 2:13
  I didn't type. I hand wrote. I hand wrote on my lesson.
• 2:16
  What an encouraging word. I underscored word. I made it bolder. I
• 2:22
  wrote it and read and put an exclamation point. Because listen, the fact
• 2:25
  is that we sometimes will say I have the truth or we have the truth.
• 2:30
  When we speak of our particular faith fellowship, we say we have the
• 2:35
  truth. And I remembers Pastor Nixon. Pastor Nixon one time back in the
• 2:43
  nineties in DC at the Capitol Hill Seventh day Adventist Church, that's John Nixon
• 2:49
  Senior. He said, we say we have the truth, we have the
• 2:53
  truth, and well, what is the truth. And it's like what you're
• 2:58
  asking a set of people inside of a church, what is truth? Yeah?
• 3:02
  And what he and another pastor friend of mine, Pastor Will Smith,
• 3:07
  he was also a Bible worker in the Potomac Conference, he also said,
• 3:13
  the truth is this. Jesus is the truth. Remember, he said,
• 3:17
  I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh
• 3:22
  unto the Father but by Me. So we have Jesus number one and primarily
• 3:27
  as the truth. And of course he said in his prayer, his prayer,
• 3:31
  his high priestly prayer as we call it, Father sanctified them by thy
• 3:37
  truth. Thy word is truth. So we have Jesus Christ as the truth,
• 3:43
  the ultimate of truth, epitome of truth. We have the Word of
• 3:46
  God as truth. And then David in the Psalms said, thy word not
• 3:53
  thy word. The commandments are truth. So Jesus the truth, the word
• 3:59
  of God as a whole the truth, and then in particular the ten commandments,
• 4:02
  they are truth. And so when the truth is triumphing, we know
• 4:09
  that it is because of Christ. We know because his word does not return
• 4:13
  unto him void. We know that his ten commandments, which are ten promises,
• 4:17
  are also the transcript of his character, God's character, and they are
• 4:23
  imprinted and blazoned, if you will, carved on the fleshy tables of our
• 4:28
  hearts. So the word is truth. Jesus is truth, His commandments are
• 4:34
  truth. And so the lesson writer actually said this, I'll read just a
• 4:39
  few lines here. Despite the attacks of the enemy, now you understand what
• 4:43
  truth is. God's work on earth will come to a glorious climax. So
• 4:48
  let me just pause right here to acknowledge the fact that the Holy Ghost is
• 4:53
  taking you and he's taking me along a pathway. It's the path of righteousness,
• 4:59
  right, It's a journ that will guide us, and if we will
• 5:02
  cooperate with God, we will reach the ultimate climax, which is eternity with
• 5:08
  God. Eternal relationship with God, never being separated by sin ever again?
• 5:14
  Yes, and so continuing, the gospel will be preached. According to Revelation
• 5:19
  chapter fourteen and verse six, the Gospel will be preached to every nation,
• 5:27
  tribe, tongue, and people. The great controversy between Christ and Satan will
• 5:32
  end. Are you looking forward to the end? Yes? How will it
• 5:36
  end? Between Christ and Satan? Will end with Christ completely defeating the powers
• 5:44
  of the enemy. Did you get that God's kingdom will triumph over evil and
• 5:48
  sin will be eradicated forever from the entire universe. This is why I call
• 5:55
  this an encouraging word, like truth triumphant in my life means that God will
• 6:00
  eradicate everything that separates between us, nothing between my soul and the Savior.
• 6:06
  Ever heard that him? Look it up if you've not heard it. Very
• 6:11
  very encouraging words. But this is coming, and it's coming very soon.
• 6:15
  But the question is is God fulfilling that reality in my life today? Is
• 6:21
  He fulfilling his power to defeat the enemy in my life today? And maybe
• 6:28
  I said it wrong? Am I allowing him? Maybe that's the better way
• 6:31
  to say it. Am I allowing God to manifest that reality, that power
• 6:39
  in my life today to defeat the enemy in my life today, when I'm
• 6:46
  making decisions about how I will and will not treat my wife today of almost
• 6:49
  twenty three years, how I will and will not treat my son today,
• 6:54
  How I will and will not treat you when I meet you on the road,
• 6:57
  Or people that are of unsavory character traits because they have not allowed God
• 7:01
  to become a God to them and Lord and savior to them, and they
• 7:06
  behave violently or in some other way that I don't appreciate necessarily? Is God
• 7:12
  winning in my life? Am I allowing him to in the way that I
• 7:15
  use the resources that He entrusts to me? Is He winning in my life?
• 7:20
  How I am able to do? Fill in the blank? Is it
• 7:25
  positive? Or is it something that I have left undone? When God gave
• 7:29
  me very clear guidance. Right, so His truth must triumph and can in
• 7:34
  our lives now. In Revelation chapter eleven, verses fifteen through eighteen, the
• 7:40
  Bible reads, and the seventh Angel sounded, and there were great voices in
• 7:44
  heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,
• 7:47
  thank you, and of his Christ. And he shall reign forever and
• 7:53
  ever. Is he reigning in your life today on this day in the month
• 7:58
  of May, like is he living and reigning in your life? Verse sixteen.
• 8:03
  And the four and twenty elders which sat before the before God on their
• 8:07
  seats, fell upon their faces and worship God. Are you a worshiper?
• 8:11
  Do you worship God? Brothers and sisters? Have you yielded your will to
• 8:16
  Him? And if you haven't, if you are trying to yield your will
• 8:22
  to him, then just talk to him about and say, God, I'm
• 8:24
  messing up, Like I really want to yield my will to you, but
• 8:26
  I find myself still grabbing and holding on to things that don't please you.
• 8:31
  Will you help me? Will you make me a worshiper Verse seventeen, saying
• 8:37
  we give thee thanks, O, Lord God Almighty, which art and wast
• 8:41
  and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and
• 8:48
  has reigned Verse eighteen. And the nations were angry, and their wrath is
• 8:52
  come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
• 8:56
  that thou shouldst give reward unto the servants, the prophets, and to the
• 9:00
  saints, and to them that fear Thy name small and great, and should
• 9:03
  have destroyed them which destroy the earth. You see, a day of reckoning
• 9:09
  is coming, right, a day of reckoning is coming when God will manifest
• 9:13
  his victory in a way that we have never seen before. We've seen his
• 9:18
  victory, yes, but the devil's still running free down here for our moment.
• 9:22
  Ah, But one day we will see when Jesus comes and he takes
• 9:26
  his children to heaven for a thousand years. And after the thousand years are
• 9:31
  finished, we will finally see the truth triumph in a way that we've never
• 9:37
  seen before. Sin and sinner's unrepentant sinners will be no more, and finally
• 9:43
  the pulse of love will be in all. Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word
• 9:50
  that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with
• 9:54
  el David Harris. Make it a great day, Yeah,
