08 17 2025 At Mount Sinai · 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 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 Sunday, August seventeen,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's Word every single day, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Exodus, and our caption
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: for today is at Mount Sinai. At Mount Sinai. We'll
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: like to say welcome to you and ask you to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join
• 1:05

  Speaker 2: the world. At your Daily Portion dot com. This is
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that we continue to build faith
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you for this Sunday morning and giving us the opportunity
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to work and make a contribution in the world. Whether
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we volunteer or we are gainfully employed or both. We
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: have the privilege of going into the world and helping
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: people get closer to You while we do our mundane tasks.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Help us to remember you every moment of these days.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray Amen and Amen again at
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Mount Sinai. Oh my, so much happened at Mount Sinai,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and we have so little time. So let's just keep
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it very simple today and start out by reading from
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter nineteen, and I'll read a few of the verses.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Between verses one and eight, I will read three, four, five,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and six. Let's go with that from the King James
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: version of the Bible, and it reads, and Moses went
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of the mountains, saying, so now God is speaking directly
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to Moses. You have seen what I did unto the Egyptians.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So the first thing that you need to recognize. Besides
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the fact that God is speaking, he has honored humanity
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: by letting humanity hear his voice in this case through
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the person of Moses. But he's also letting his voice
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: be made known after he kept his promise. He said,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to deliver my people. He said that Pharaoh
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is going to let my people go. And now he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: speaking again. And now the people of God need to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: be keenly interested and queued in what is God going
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to say? Okay, so now he's speaking to Moses. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: did what I said I was going to do unto
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the Egyptians, and how I bear you on eagles wings
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and brought you. I said this yesterday unto myself. Now, therefore,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: if ye will obey my voice, he God is saying,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I have a requirement of you. Now he's always had it,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: but he's he's giving Moses a revelation. Now I have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: this requirement. I have gotten you out of the bondage
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and oppression that you were in. I heard your moanings,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I saw all that you were going through. I made
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a promise. I kept it. Now as I have brought
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you to myself, I need you to obey my voice
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: indeed and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: peculiar treasure unto me above all people. For all the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: earth is mine. And so there are times that people
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: say that they're number one. I happen to work with
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the number one motivational speaker of the world and in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the world, and he actually is. He actually is, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: beyond that and even more than that. That's true, But
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: there are many times that people on the planet have
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: identified themselves as the best, as the number one, this
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the top of that, and it's like, well, based on
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: what well et he can base this on his experience
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and what the people that he has been serving have
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: been saying. And it is definitely true that he's indeed
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and in fact what we know him to be the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: number one in this reality in this regard. But there
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: are many times that people don't have the data, they
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have no idea. But God is saying, I have all
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the receipts, everything and every human on the planet is mine,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm saying that You're going to be the peculiar
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: treasure above all people. I know all people because I
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: created all people. My eyes are still going to and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: fro in the earth. I still see all people. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: have all of the data, all of the earth is mine,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and I'm saying I'm gonna set you above all of them,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and ye shall be verse six, you shall be unto me,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. You will
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: is God speaking. And so from the book Patriarchs and Prophets,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: page three hundred and eleven. Had Israel obeyed the words
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of the Angel, they would have been preserved from every foe.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: God had pledged himself to be their protector. Obedience to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: his law would make them marvels of prosperity before the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: nations of the world. So I said yesterday that we
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: see what not to do. If you think you stand,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: take heed lest you fall. Look at the things that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the people of God did as they made mistake after mistake,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: unforced error after unforced error, harden their hearts when they
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have. But we do see examples of people who said, yes, Lord, yes,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: so you're willing to your way, I'm going to do
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: exactly what you have said. They lived as a peculiar treasure.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And so the words peculiar treasure means a private, treasured
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: possession God. You know God possesses his people distinct from
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the common property. You realize that you're not common if
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you are God's child. Kings used this word to described
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: their most cherished belongings. Jesus said that because He gave
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his life for you, you are his, and He cherishes you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: above all things and all people on the earth. Kingdom
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of priests, Kingdom of priests. Well, what does this mean?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: A nation set apart for direct service to God and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to represent him to others. So you are his cherished
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: treasure and your purpose is as you are set apart
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: for service to God, you represent him. You are God's ambassador.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Do you understand now you're calling the reason even though
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you have gone through all of those trials and tribulations,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: even though maybe your earthly parents weren't what they should
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: have been, maybe they were, thank God if they were.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: No matter where you came from, was it the palace
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: or the ghetto, like or worse, it doesn't matter where
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you came from, because God has cherished you, empowered you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: delivered you, put you into His service directly so you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: would be his ambassador. M m. Yes, your passport in
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the universe is diplomatic in nature, you have diplomatic immunity.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: From a spiritual perspective, you understand you are a holy nation,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Yes,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you have been called out of darkness into this marvelous light.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: This is the calling that God has on all of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: our lives. If we're his, Yes, and so you're not
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: your own. God bought you with a price on purpose
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to himself. God's calling includes responsibility. Now you're his ambassador.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You need to live like an ambassador of God, speak
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: like an ambassador of God, Encounter and experience people as
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: if you represent the king of the universe, because in fact,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and indeed you do, He didn't just deliver his people,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: He gave them a role to represent him. God still
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: wants holy people. There's plenty good room in the kingdom.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I remember the song back in the day when I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: was a child, plenty good room in the kingdom. He's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: rescuing the perishing, Yes, and so I know that he's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: rescuing people. But he's also asking us, by his power,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: commanding us in fact, to be holy. For the Lord,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: our God is holy. Obedience is not legalism, It's not
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: it really isn't. God gives us the privilege to love,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and it flows from that covenant loyalty. Finally, God promised relationship, identity,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: and purpose. He didn't just save the people from Egypt,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: but he brought them unto himself. The goal was more
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: than the promised land. It was to become ambassadors of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Almighty God himself.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
