• 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,

  Speaker 2: in most places who are listening now, so we wouldn't
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: do that now. But for those who are later on,

  Speaker 2: opportunity that you have entrusted to us to open your word.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm asking you to help us to become a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: revelation of Jesus Christ. Help us to become a revelation
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ when we let our lights so shine
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: before people, that when they see your good are good works,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they glorify you who are in heaven. Father, Please in
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Foundations for Prophecy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: What we're going to do now is is jump right
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in at Isaiah chapter six and verse eight. Isaiah chapter
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: six and verse eight, and we are coming into a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: conversation that we will read and develop further throughout the week.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: If the Lord sphear's life the coming week. But it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: reads this way. Also, I heard the voice of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Lord saying whom shall I send? And who shall go
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: for us? Then said I, this is Isaiah speaking. Before
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it was it was the voice from heaven speaking? Who
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: shall go for us? Then said I here am I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: send me? And so immediately I write in my notes.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I jotted down and read and read pen what drives
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: such a response. What causes as an individual to go
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to go and speak for God? What motivates us to go?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And I need to personalize this. I need to be
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: asking myself the question what would cause me to go
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: wherever God leads? Where Thou leadest that I will follow? Like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: what would cause me to go? And let me just say,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it's not always easy to go. It's not always easy
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to go. There are times that God sends us places
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that were reluctant to go, sometimes to people who have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: rejected His words and in this case been there were
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: people who were rejecting God's work, people that were supposed
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to be God's people. And so sometimes when we raise
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: our hands and volunteer, sometimes during those personal ministries moments
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in churches. It used to be lay activities when I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: was a young guy, lay activities, personal ministries guys, uh
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: uh moments pardon me? During those times when we're jumping
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: up and volunteering. I just need to say that there
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: are times that that that when we go, it's going
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to be painful. But does it matter what drives? What
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is the impetus of the response that says, I will
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: go where Thou leadest, I will follow. Now, now the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Bible teaches us, and we'll read about it tomorrow. If
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the Lord Spear's life, the Bible teaches us that that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Isaiah was having a God encounter. God had given him
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the privilege of coming into his presence and experiencing a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: worship scene where even heavenly angels were there. And once
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Isaiah was cleansed, it was a terrible time in God's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: people's history. They had they had decades of really good
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: leadership from a particular king. Again, we'll talk about it
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: tomorrow from the Lord Spear's life. And then when he dies,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it's just like wha. The people are dejected, they feel
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they feel out of sorts, and this is like what
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in the world. And then God gives Isaiah this vision
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to increase his connection with God. Even the prophet needed
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: an increase of connection with him. And then after the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: prophet is cleansed, he realizes that now his work is
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: right before him, and he volunteers. Okay, so I'm oversimplifying
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: because we're going to cover this a little later. Let's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: go into the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter four and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: we'll read verse eleven. We alluded to it yesterday. Thou
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they are and were created. So what I want you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to do in light of the creative power of God,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he is He is the only one that is worthy
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: because of his create because he is creator. And you're like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: ok you're talking about the Father, you're talking about the Son.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Both like God the Father, and God the Son, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: God the Holy Spirit. They all are creators. They're the creator. Okay,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: They're one. They're creator. Okay. And because of this this power,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: because of this power and the righteous character of God,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we have the privilege to worship. And I just say
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that again, we have the privilege to worship. We have
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the privilege of worshiping God because God is worthy of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: our worship. How do we know He created us? Bible
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: says through Jesus Christ, he created all things. In John
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: chapter one Hebrews chapter one, we see Jesus as creator.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We see the Holy Ghost hovering over the face of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the deep. In Genesis chapter one, we see the creative
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: power of God, who solely and singularly has that power.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And this, among other things, is what makes God worthy
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of our worship. Of course, we see in the next
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: chapter of Revelation that Jesus is worthy because he gave
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: his life for us. Okay, And so that is our
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: privilege to see God as creator and then begin to worship. Okay.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And Romans chapter three and verse twenty three, the Bible reads,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: for all have sinned uh oh, and comes short of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. So the one who created us
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: also has the law, his ten Commandments law. God has
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: given us his ten Commandments law. And every human being
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: ever born of a woman save Christ, with the exception
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of Christ, has broken the law transgressed it, which means
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that we're worthy of eternal death. In that case, well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the same one who created us also gave us the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: plan to redeem us from that error. From that eternal
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: death sentence. We are on eternal death until Jesus came
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: into our lives. You see the same one who said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: let there be light, and there was light, also said,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for God so loved the world that he gave his
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: but have everlasting life. God didn't send his son into
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the world to condemn the world, but that the world
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: through him might be saved. And so, since all of
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: us have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and the same one who created us also now redeems us,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: he's worthy of worship. Can I just say that again,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: He's worthy of worship. Yes. So I want you to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: reflect on a regular basis. I don't know if you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: need to write it down. I don't know if you
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: keep it in your mind. You may use a voice recorder.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But I want you to think about
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: God's character, write those things down that you discover in
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the scriptures, and then I want you to look for
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: how his nature contrasts with mine. Yours always just and kind.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But I'm not. But don't get stuck there. What I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: want you to do is embrace the plan of redemption
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like He's not leaving us there. The Bible reads in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians, chapter one and verse eighteen. For the preaching
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: unto you, I'm gonna say you. I'm pointing right at you.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But unto you and unto me, which are saved. It
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is the power of God. So the one who created
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: us also redeems us. And when we fall short of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: his glory, he puts us on the pathway if we
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: will yield our will to him so that we can
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: be saved by the power of God.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Make it a great silent thanks for joining us listening. 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,
