Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

- 2:08Speaker 2: are with me always expect me to do it right there,
- 2:11Speaker 2: But can I just say a great, big happy birthday
- 2:14Speaker 2: to my big sister, the one whose life I was
- 2:18Speaker 2: born into a long time ago. She has reached the ripe.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And you think I'm gonna say another word, but I'm
- 2:26Speaker 2: not much your age of sixty. Yes, I said it
- 2:29Speaker 2: to the whole planet and maybe Lisa, I don't know,
- 2:32Speaker 2: you might get at me later, but listen, listen, God
- 2:35Speaker 2: gave us these years and so I'm grateful that you're
- 2:39Speaker 2: here because you have been the most transformational woman in
- 2:46Speaker 2: my life from birth. Yes, so protective and such a
- 2:52Speaker 2: blessing to me. I owe all glory and autor to
- 2:57Speaker 2: God for what you have done for me over the years,
- 3:00Speaker 2: just being you and in the ways that you looked
- 3:02Speaker 2: out for me when I didn't even know I needed
- 3:04Speaker 2: to be looked out for. So God bless you, and
- 3:06Speaker 2: happy birthday. Happy birthday, Lisa. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
- 3:10Speaker 2: we thank you for giving us the promise of the resurrection.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Thank you for the life that you are that one
- 3:18Speaker 2: day we will we will finally inherit. Fully, I know
- 3:24Speaker 2: we thank you today for this life, but one day
- 3:29Speaker 2: will begin to live in more to life. Thank you
- 3:32Speaker 2: in Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and DayMen again the
- 3:36Speaker 2: resurrected body. There are so many human beings living in
- 3:42Speaker 2: and amongst us, within amongst us, and maybe some of
- 3:46Speaker 2: you who are listening or viewing right now, who have
- 3:48Speaker 2: body image problems, and it comes as a result of
- 3:52Speaker 2: a lot of different reasons. But the fact is that
- 3:56Speaker 2: dysmorphic thoughts or body image challenges where people look into
- 4:00Speaker 2: a mirror and they don't see the reality. They see
- 4:03Speaker 2: some distortion, and it causes people who see those distortions
- 4:09Speaker 2: to behave in a way that is is really it's
- 4:13Speaker 2: just it's sad. It's sad because because you know, the
- 4:18Speaker 2: enemy has shielded our eyes from the reality many times,
- 4:22Speaker 2: and it causes people to make decisions based on those distortions. Well,
- 4:27Speaker 2: can I just say that, along with the fact that
- 4:30Speaker 2: we sometimes have diseases and we have sicknesses and pains
- 4:34Speaker 2: and other health challenges, that all of that stuff is
- 4:38Speaker 2: going away because God is going to give us a
- 4:40Speaker 2: new body. Can I just say that, like as he
- 4:43Speaker 2: he continues to give us his character in our lives today,
- 4:50Speaker 2: he is one day going to give us new bodies
- 4:54Speaker 2: that will never get sick, that will never change shape
- 4:58Speaker 2: or form, gravity will will not have like his or
- 5:02Speaker 2: her sway on us again, where stuff used to be elevated,
- 5:07Speaker 2: now it's droopy, like, we won't have that problem, We
- 5:09Speaker 2: won't have wrinkles anymore, we will not have difficulties seeing,
- 5:13Speaker 2: we won't need the kind of surgery that I had
- 5:16Speaker 2: when I got my eyes corrected more than twenty years ago,
- 5:20Speaker 2: when I got laser surgery no need for that, no
- 5:25Speaker 2: need for any more tests or patches or things attached
- 5:28Speaker 2: to our bodies that are constantly monitoring blood sugar or
- 5:32Speaker 2: blood gluecose levels, none of that. No more pacemakers. Can
- 5:35Speaker 2: we just say no more open heart surgery, no more
- 5:38Speaker 2: bypass surgery, no more dialysis, no more transplants. You understand
- 5:44Speaker 2: where we're going with this. So God is going to
- 5:46Speaker 2: give us a new body that will match the characters
- 5:50Speaker 2: that He is forming within us today. Maybe you aren't
- 5:53Speaker 2: expecting that plot twists our new bodies at the coming
- 5:58Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ and not before. At the second coming
- 6:02Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, and not before, they will match the
- 6:07Speaker 2: characters that Christ is forming in us even now. And
- 6:13Speaker 2: so really you need to ask and answer this question, like,
- 6:17Speaker 2: are you yielding your will to God now to where
- 6:21Speaker 2: you are receiving eternal life and looking forward to the
- 6:25Speaker 2: new immortal bodies? I hope so. So for me, the
- 6:29Speaker 2: most important thing is that the body, the body that
- 6:34Speaker 2: goes into the ground is a seed. We've seen this
- 6:39Speaker 2: with the story and ministry of Jesus Christ. What comes
- 6:42Speaker 2: up at the resurrection will be glorious beyond anything this
- 6:48Speaker 2: present life has shown us. We're looking forward to that day.
- 6:53Speaker 2: We're looking forward to that day. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- 6:57Speaker 2: So we're going to go into First Corinthians chapter five.
- 7:00Speaker 2: You could have predicted that even if you hadn't read
- 7:03Speaker 2: the lesson for today. And I will read verses thirty
- 7:06Speaker 2: six to thirty eight from the New English translation. The
- 7:10Speaker 2: Bible reads full what you sew will not come to
- 7:16Speaker 2: life unless it dies. And what you sew is not
- 7:22Speaker 2: the body that is to be, but a bear seed,
- 7:28Speaker 2: perhaps of wheat or something else. But God gives it
- 7:34Speaker 2: a body, just as he planned, and to each of
- 7:39Speaker 2: the seeds its own body. Now we're gonna look at
- 7:43Speaker 2: the verb, but to sow, when God sows the seed,
- 7:48Speaker 2: or even if we sow, okay, and it's it's spae row,
- 7:53Speaker 2: spae row, not sparrow, but spae row, And that means
- 7:57Speaker 2: to sow, to plant a seed in the ground. Sounds
- 8:00Speaker 2: simple enough, right. Paul uses the seed as the primary
- 8:05Speaker 2: image of the resurrected body. What goes into the ground
- 8:10Speaker 2: is not the same as what comes up. The seed
- 8:15Speaker 2: and the plant share continuity of origin, but the transformation
- 8:21Speaker 2: is miraculous and what complete Okay, let let me just
- 8:28Speaker 2: let me just say it like this, ooh, and I
- 8:30Speaker 2: don't want anybody to be crass in your thinking. But
- 8:33Speaker 2: when Simone and I got together in that biological process
- 8:37Speaker 2: where I sow the seed, and inside of Simone's her body,
- 8:44Speaker 2: it was growing, was growing something miraculous and wonderful. Yes,
- 8:49Speaker 2: God gave us this biological process, understood, but he's the
- 8:53Speaker 2: author of life, and so within her was growing something
- 8:57Speaker 2: wonderful and miraculous. And then comes the day that Josiah
- 9:02Speaker 2: is born, our son. He's almost sixteen years of age. Now, well,
- 9:07Speaker 2: I can promise you what the seed that was sown
- 9:10Speaker 2: didn't look like this big, big hair, this big hairy boy,
- 9:15Speaker 2: the young man that is always doing push ups and
- 9:18Speaker 2: flexing and showing me how strong he is and hoping
- 9:21Speaker 2: to become my height and beyond. He's close, just not
- 9:25Speaker 2: quite there yet. But that seed didn't look like that
- 9:29Speaker 2: boy or young man pardon me, whose voice is deep,
- 9:32Speaker 2: whose grip is super strong. He didn't look quite like
- 9:35Speaker 2: that when he was sown. So God is saying that
- 9:39Speaker 2: at the resurrection, we're going to get that transformed body.
- 9:43Speaker 2: And I'm looking forward to that day. Thanks for joining us, listening.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
- 9:50Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
