05 29 2025 That Your Salvation May Be Known · 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 2: Vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: May twenty nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is

  Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

  Speaker 2: in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and our caption for today is that your salvation may
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: be known. That your salvation may be known. We'll get
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to say welcome to you and ask you to please
• 1:08

• 1:22
  Speaker 2: world at your daily portion dot com. This is one
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us this new
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: day and for getting us thus far into our work week.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us the ability to speak for you,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for entrusting that to us and commissioning us and empowering
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: us for this, Please help us to be committed to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you now in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and amen again,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that your salvation may be known. There is so much
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to say here, but let me just go ahead and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: begin by asking you a question. What obligations? And I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: know automatically this causes somebody to itch. You may have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: an allergic response when I say obligations, But let me
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just speak for a moment. What obligations should we, as
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the people of God, a collective, the church, the body
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of believers, and as individuals feel toward teaching others the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: truths that we love so much. Now you may not
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like the word obligations. What responsibility? What are the things
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that we should take on. We have been commissioned to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do something. What do we do as a church? What
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: do we do as individual people of God in the church?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And so the Bible reads here in the Book of Psalms,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: chapter sixty seven, verses one and two. God be merciful
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to us and bless us. See, God has given himself
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the responsibility to take care of us, to be merciful
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: toward us, to bless us, and to cause his face
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to shine upon us. That's what I desire, and your way,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that your way may be known on the earth. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: when God shines his face upon us, when he is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: merciful toward us, when he blesses us, the outcome is
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that his way, who he is, how he loves, how
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he saves, how merciful and good he is, is known
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: in the earth, your salvation among the nations. Okay, So
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this is not a passive reality. Like when God shines
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: his light upon us, when he is merciful upon us,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: toward us, when he does bless us, and he just
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: gives salvation to us, then it's for us to receive
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the light and then share it. It is our privilege.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You don't like the word obligation. I don't have a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: problem with that. It's our privilege, it is indeed and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in fact, our responsibility. So God's light is not meant
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to stop with us. When we absorb his truth but
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: fail to reflect it, then we become like the coating
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: described ultra dark, invisible, unnoticeable. That's not the purpose of light.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And if you don't know what I'm referring to, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: want you to go back to the actual adult study
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: guide and see what the engineers at MIT created that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: new black coating. That is not our mission. That is
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: not our mission, okay. And so the first thing that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we have the privilege of doing is to reflect the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: light of God, not just absorb it. Not just absorb it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Now we go to Isaiah, chapter fifty six and verse seven.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads, for my house shall be called a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: house of prayer for all people, for all people, those
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: who keep covenant with God, those who keep Sabbath. If
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you read in Isaiah fifty six, you'll see the entire context.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Those who were once not His people but have become
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: God's people are not to be considered in their own
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: minds a dry tree that God doesn't bless, or not
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to be considered in their minds or in the minds
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of the people of God who were here already as
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: strangers or somehow broken or somehow unclean. These people who
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: keep covenant with God, who also keep the Sabbath of God,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: which is a sign, which is a sign that God
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: is the one who sanctifies us. This is what the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Bible says. These are all called a house of prayer,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the house of prayer for all nations. So the invitation
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: goes out from God's people. We receive his light, his blessings,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: his mercy right, and then we go out willingly. We
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: go out with thanksgiving and praise in our lives. To say,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I was thirsty before here is some water. I was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: hungry for the word of God, before here is some bread.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I have been lonely before. We are a community of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: believers who love God and love one another. Jesus said,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this is the way that people will know that you
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: are My disciples, when you have love one for another.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So the Church, the people of God, as a collective,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: is not a spiritual departure lounge when you go to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: an airport huh, for the select few. It is a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: mission hub for all nations. The Last Day's message is
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: not about spiritual pride. It is about urgency, inclusivity, and service.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads in Revelation fourteen and verse six, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: having the lasting gospel to preach to every nation and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: every kindred and every tongue and every people. So the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: people of God move, We move. We don't stand still.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: We don't just collect, we don't just congregate. We move.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We move quickly with the message of hope. We move
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: quickly with the fact that the judgment that is in
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: our day, that happens before Jesus returns, that is, is
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to manifest his ability to cover his people in his
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: righteousness and to reveal his character to the world in
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: our day. All of this is to go to every nation, kindred, tongue,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: tribeing people. And this judgment or this phase of judgment,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: is the only safe place in twenty twenty five to live.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: We live in this place, not where we are being condemned.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: That's not the only way that judgment manifests. There are
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: time that we are found innocent, because in this case
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: we have the covering of Christ. We are now seen
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: as if just as if we had never sinned, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: of course that is our privilege. We are are not
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to be stationary like posts that just stay in one place.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We all are called to fly, to move, to take
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the truth forward urgently, joyfully, and globally. And that is
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the case in our relationships, in our workplaces and our
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: conversations as individuals, not just as a collective of believers,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but also as individuals. And we ask God every day,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: who can I bless today? At my workplace, on the internet,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as you're posting, as you're responding to posts on the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: way in the vehicle, when you're doing your business at
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the bank, at the laundrymat, at the place where you
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: buy your groceries, where you drop off your children for
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: day care or after care. Who can I bless today
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: with your truth? Who can I bless with your truth?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: There is so much more to say, but so little time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Let me just say finally that in Psalm chapter sixty seven,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: this reminds us that the Everlasting Gospel is not new.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It is rooted in God's ancient call for its people
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: to bless the world by revealing his character. When you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: are like God, you're godly God's power in your life,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You're blessing the entire world, how in the way that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they can also be like him, So be like him 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,
