• 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 Thursday. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: July thirty one, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in our Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and our caption for today is the Divine Judgment, The
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Divine Judgment. Before we get into that, I'd like to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining us
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: for the very first time. Please go over to your
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community, pick
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: up your Daily Portion Life Application guide, and let us
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: know where you are in the world at your Daily
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Portion dot com. This is one of the ways that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and pray and get underway. Father, thank you for this day.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Please teach us not to have not to be afraid
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of you. Teach us not to be afraid of you,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but simply surrender ourselves to your will. In Jesus name,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Yeah. There are many
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: times that the people of God when we discuss judgment,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: either go to one extreme and just we burn down everything,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like everything is to be burnt down, you know what
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like that's what judgment means to some people.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And then and then others. Others are feeling condemned just
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: because it says judgment, you see. And so John actually
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: knew about this because the Holy Ghost showed it to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: him that there is no fear in love because love
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: casts out fear. Fear hath torment, and those who are
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: perfected in love now have boldness in the day of judgment.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I'm saying it slowly so we can get it. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: if we are covered in the blood. God is our past,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus is our passover. He gave his life for us
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so that we can be saved. Yes, then that means
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: we have no need to be afraid of condemnation. Paul said,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus who walk according to the flesh. That's the behavior
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of people who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so I read now as that being our backdrop, from
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page two hundred and eighty,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and it reads, throughout the vast realm of Egypt, the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: pride of every household had been laid low. The shrieks
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and whales of the mourners filled the air. You see,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that didn't need to happen, That experience need not to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: have happened, but those that it occurred. For where it occurred,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to those people, it was because they rejected the blood.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They rejected the entreaties of God, the warnings of God,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they rejected the commands of God. So we don't need
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to go back thousands of years and look to that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: night and see that. Wait a minute, there are people
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: today that are rejecting the love of God. There are
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: people today, God forbid, there are people today who are
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: who are forgetting about the warnings of God. There are
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: people today that are refusing to be covered by the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: blood of the Lamb. Those individuals will have the same outcome.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: The quote continues. The shrieks and whales of the mourners
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: filled the air. Kings and courtiers, let me just say,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it didn't matter if you were If you're a president,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: if you're a prime minister, if you're a queen, if
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you're a king. It doesn't matter whatever the governmental calling
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is on your life. You're a governor general, if you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are a leader of a company or an organization, you're
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a pastor, you're a president of a religious institution. It
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter if I'm the person who is sweeping the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: floors in any of those halls of power. It doesn't matter.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: All of those individuals have an opportunity, have an opportunity
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to a serve God and be covered by the blood
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: of the Lamb, or reject him. It's our choice. But
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: in this case, the kings and courtiers, with blanched faces
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and trembling limbs, stood a gas at the overmastering horror.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That is, brothers and sisters, the definition of condemnation. It
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: is horrifying at the second coming of Christ, there will
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: be people who say, lo, this is our God. We
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: have waited for him, and he will save us. But
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they were also people. There will also be people, unfortunately,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and God forbid, there will also be people that see
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus coming, and they say, hide us from the face
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: wrath of the lamb. Can you imagine a lamb having wrath?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Why is that necessary? Only because individuals choose that for themselves.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I can't say ourselves, because that ain't my testimony, by
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the grace of God, okay. And so that divine judgment
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: did not need to be It was the choice of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: only the hard hearted people. So our first lesson comes
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in from Exodus, chapter twelve and verse twenty nine. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it came to pass at midnight. At midnight, the Lord
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: smoked all of the first born in the land of Egypt,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that is, those who were not covered. And so God's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: judgment is precise and purposeful. Do you remember when Abraham
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was having that remonstrance with God where he was like, God,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: are you going to destroy Sodom and gomor if there
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: are your people there, like You're going to just destroy everybody.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about this God? What if there are fifty?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: What if there are forty? And he goes down this
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: number trail. I don't know exactly what numbers he said,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: but we know what was recorded in scripture. And I
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: don't know why he stopped at the number that we
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: see recorded in scripture. Why didn't he say, if there
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: be one God that salt and light. I always wondered, like,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: why didn't he go to God and say, if there's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: one in the land, will you please spare the land
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: for the sake of the one? But as we understand
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the story, God by hand through the angels had to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: pull Lot and his family out of there, and they
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: all got out of there, and then the place was destroyed.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But the people who were covered by God were not. Yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: why choose to be destroyed? God said, I don't take
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: pleasure in the death of those who die. Therefore turn
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: yourselves and live. I think that's in Ezekiel chapter eighteen
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and Ezekiel chapter thirty two. I'm if my memory served,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So examine the areas of your personal life, your personal influence,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: where you've delayed obedience today, choose one thing that God
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: has already shown you, and act upon it. That is today,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: right now, that one thing He's already been clear to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you about, Now act upon it. Lesson number two, Faith
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: obeys God's way before condemnation comes. In Hebrews eleven twenty eight,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: through faith, he kept the passover and the sprinkling of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: touch them. And so the action step is not to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: wait for clarity. Come on, man, don't wait for clarity
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: when obedience has already been made clear. There's nothing else
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to discuss like. Just ask God for the strength that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you need to do His will, create a physical reminder
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of God's past faithfulness to encourage trust in future instructions.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And then this one should cause all of us to tremble.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Sin impacts others beyond ourselves. Think about your children, Think
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: about the people who look up to you. Think about
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the people you influence online. Think of the people at
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: your job, in workplace, the people in the taxis that
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you ride on your way to your workplace. Think about
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the people in the pews next to you, you in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: those worship centers and churches. The Bible reads here in Exodus,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve and verse thirty. There was not one house,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: not a house where there was not one dead. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: confess the hidden sins between you and God, just you
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and God, and reconcile with anyone who may have suffered
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: because of your delay, your disobedience, or your pride or
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: your pride. Remember, perfect love cast out fear. We don't
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: need to fear condemnation unless we have separated ourselves from God.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day. It's a solemn warning. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
