• 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

• 1:45
  Speaker 2: we will get underway. Father in heaven, please please please
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: give us the fullness of your holy spirit. Please help
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: us to see as you see. Thank you for loving
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: us so much, and thank you for giving us the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: opportunity to come together this morning. Please teach us who
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: is our neighbor, help us to be neighborly in Jesus name.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. You see, Jesus had
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: very very while he lived on planet Earth. I'm saying,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: had a very interesting way of bringing our minds to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the simplest truths, even though we miss them naturally. It's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: unfortunate that we miss them naturally, but it's the reality,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't leave us so that we are not
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: able to overcome that natural ignorance. Right, he gives us
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truths. So
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: who is my neighbor? We're going to answer. We're going
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to answer the question after we read from the Bible
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Book of Luke. Bible Book of Luke, chapter Let's go
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: with chapter ten, beginning at verse twenty five. Luke Chapter ten,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse twenty five, and the Bible reads, and behold,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, meaning Jesus, saying, Master,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: what shall I do to inherit eternal life? You see,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he's not interested in life. He's interested in quizzing Jesus.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He wants to be a quiz master verse twenty six,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and he said, unto him, what is written in the law?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: How readest thou? May I just pause right here and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: give a great, big shout out to all of the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: coaches out there. I'm talking about not team coaches, but
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about executive coaches, life and success coaches. That
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: kind of coaching right as a paradigm, because Jesus just
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: gave us the model for great coaching. Ask the right
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: questions and have the people that you're assisting learned to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: answer them. And then you guide them based on whatever
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the answers are. I wish I had the time, And
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he said, unto, and what is written in the law,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: How readest thou? And he answering said, thou shalt love
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the Lord, thy God with all thy heart. Okay, this
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is going well, and with all thy soul, this is
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: really going well. And with all thy strength, and with
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. You see,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: people who, depending on the mindset, are needing assistance, whether
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: they are proud or humble, have the answers sometimes in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: their bosom. And so this dude who was proud, who
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: really had nothing good on his mind at this moment,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: actually had the right answers. And Jesus said, unto him
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: verse twenty eight. Thou hast answered, right, this do and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: ye shall live. So what else is there? Well, you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: know anything next question? That would be my approach. But
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: thankfully Jesus is not me, Bible says in verse twenty nine.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But he willing to justify himself, said, unto Jesus, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering said. A certain
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: which stripped him of his raiment, wounded him and departed,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a certain priest. Oh that way, when he saw him,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: he was supposed to help him. Right, the priest is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: supposed to do something very special, speak to God while
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: helping him. God, what do you want me to do?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Call others if you need some assistance, and help him
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and speak and pray to God. Right. Well, no, that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: not what happened. He passed by on the other side,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and likewise verse thirty two. A levite. Okay, surely he's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: going to do the right thing. Ah, he's part of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the one would who would stand in the gap and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: defend the cause of God in and among the people. Right,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the levite is helping to usher people into worship. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he's going to do the right thing. Well, the Bible says,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: when he was at the place, he came and looked
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: at him. Okay, this is good. But he passed on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the other side. What all right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Verse thirty three. But a certain Samaritan, you know, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: people of God I'll call them, had problem with the Samaritans,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: even though in a lot of ways they're related, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they had a problem with the Samaritans. They didn't see
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: them as anything good. Ah. But a certain Samaritan, as
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: oh wait a minute, he had compassion on him. The
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: unlikeliest candidate had compassion on him, and he went to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: him and bound up his wounds. Oh my, he physically
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: went to him. He saw him, he went to him.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: He actually addressed his condition, those wounds and pouring in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: oil and wine. So he's giving him the right therapies,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: thank God. And he set him on his own beast.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: So he didn't just leave him there. He didn't grasp
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: his hand and pray and say, brother, be be healed,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and then waited and hoped, and then nothing happened, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: he just said, well, you know, I bid you adie. No, no, no,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: no no. He put him on his own beast, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: then he brought him to an end. So he took
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: him somewhere, so he's no longer on the road. He
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: changes his physical condition through healing. He changes or therapies,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: if you want to say. He shows him compassion by
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: touching and holding on to and then lifting him up
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and putting him on his own animal. And then he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: brought him to a place where the brother could be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: attended to, somewhere more comfortable than the side of a road,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and took care of him Verse thirty five. And on
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the morrow when he departed, so he stayed there the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: night he took up two pence. So he brought some
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: money and gave pay them to the host, and said
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to the host take care of him, and whatsoever thou
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: spendest more, I when I come again, I will repay thee.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So he made sure that this brother had every single
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: thing he needed, or should I say his neighbor, everything
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that he needed, so that he could not only be
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a survivor of what happened to him in this unfortunate
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: event or turn of events, but so that he would thrive.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And he said, I will repay thee. I think Jesus
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: paid it all all to him. I owe Sin has
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: left a crimson stain, but he has washed me white
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: as snow. And then the Bible says, which now of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: these three thinkest thou was the neighbor unto him that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: fell among the thieves, And he said he that showed
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: mercy on him. Then Jesus said unto him, go and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: do likewise. Jesus was reading the mind of the man
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: who was not neighborly minded. Jesus was reading the mind
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of the man who loved talking about the Bible but
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: was a hypocrite, and he was giving him the method
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of Christ for being like God. Let this mind be
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. The Bible says,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: humble ourselves, be of service to people, Love God, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: love other humans no matter what. Make it a great day, Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
