• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: community pick up the Your Daily Portion Life application Guide.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: This is a guide where we go through four key
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: areas of our lives so that we can apply every
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: single day's lesson to those areas professionally, from a relationship perspective,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: from a spiritual perspective, and personal development perspective. I get
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that at your Daily Portion dot com. Also, let everybody know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, let me know where you are in the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Father, thank you for this morning, Thank you
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for this day. Thank you for giving us the privilege
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to come together all over the world, so many people,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands people every single day who are listening
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and watching. Please give us your holy spirit and help
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: us to live according to your love and principles. In
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. The first
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: three plagues here they are. Okay, So I've already given
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you sort of a primer on that when I ran
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: through all ten and the gods that the God of
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Heaven was dealing with at the time. So we're gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: now walk our way through it again. Okay, So we're
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: gonna begin with the water being turned to blood from
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter seven, verses fourteen through twenty four. And so
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: this plague over the Nile river and all water sources
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: were turned to God, I mean to blood. I apologize
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to blood. And so the gods that are the false
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: gods that God was targeting so that the people in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Egypt would know there's only one true and living God,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and everything else that they are serving are a farce
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and a counterfeit. And now they have the opportunity to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: say yes to God. Is happy, Happy, the god of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the Nile fertility in life Osyrus Nile believed to be
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: his bloodstream. And then of course Gnom, the guardian of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the Nile's source. This is what God was doing because
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the Nile was Egypt's pride. God struck it first to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: show their most sacred resource had no divine protection. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: in fact, in Revelation chapter sixteen, verses four through six,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: God's end time judgments also also include water being turned
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: into blood. Okay, and so God can take what a
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: nation worships. I need you to listen to this. This
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is not a history lesson God can take. In twenty
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: twenty five, this day in July whatever a nation worships,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is it its power, is it its leadership, is it
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it's wealth, is it its economy, it's money, it's resources,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Shut it down in a moment, and expose the false
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: trust the markets they go up and down, up and down.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The value of this go up and down, up and down.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The perception and perspective about this up and down. So
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: God can take whatever a nation worships, huh, and shut
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it down in a moment so that we can desire
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: so so we can decide if we're gonna trust in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the things that make us feel proud HM or in
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: God himself. In fact, even with the Church, the message
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of the Church of lad to see is the same thing.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You're in your own mind. You're rich and increased in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: goods and have need of nothing but you and and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: don't even know it, like but you're miserable, poor, blind
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and naked. But God is showing us that we can
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: amend our ways, we can turn toward him and gives
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: us the remedy when he shows us our ways. Let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: go to the second plague the frogs from Exodus chapter eight,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: verses one through fifteen. The frogs overran the homes the beds,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the ovens, and everywhere else. The false God being targeted
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: directly as hecat the frog headed goddess of fertility and childbirth.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Frogs were considered to be sacred, so you dare not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: kill them. No, don't trouble the frogs. So God turned
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: their sacred animal into a curse, the blessing into a curse.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: What they honored became a source of disgust and help
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: bless ness. Okay, so how do we apply it? When
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: we exalt created things? They don't have to be frogs.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: They don't have to be frogs like jobs, like our positions,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: our titles, even good causes. I'm talking about causes that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we forgot reason have begun to give awareness campaigns for.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: But if we exalt those things above the Creator, they
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: will eventually overrun our lives. They will become all consuming
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and then begin to block out in many ways, our
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: connection with God. And so we keep those in submission
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to God's will, and we keep God as our priority
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: so they do not overrun our lives. The third lice
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: or nats coming in from Exodus chapter eight, verses sixteen
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: through nineteen. The dust became lice or gnats affecting both
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: humans and animals. The targeted gods Geb, the god of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Earth, the Egyptian priesthood obsessed with ritual cleanliness. Can
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you be ritually clean with all of these gnats and lice? Well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they were in the way. So this is the first
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: plague that the magicians couldn't not replicate, forcing them to admit,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: as in Exodus, chapter eight and verse nineteen, this is
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the finger of God. They had to do it. They
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: had to do it. In fact, Jesus said it in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter eleven and verse twenty. If I cast out
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: devils with the finger of God like so you know
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: when the hand of God is at work, then no
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: doubt the Kingdom of God is upon you. So how
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: do we apply this one? There comes a point where
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: human systems, spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the real
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: power of God. I don't have a problem with artificial intelligence,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in fact, in fact, I use it. I use it
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in a masterful way. I use artificial intelligence. I do
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not allow though artificial intelligence to use me. I wish
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I had the time. There are some things that people
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: are using it to do that are not according to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: God's will. They are counterfeits about against God will causing
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: people to believe things that are simply not true. They're
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not misinformation, it's disinformation. People are deliberately using the voices,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the faces, the images, and all kinds of other things
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to cause people to believe a lie, sometimes using artificial intelligence.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But in any case, whatever it happens to be in
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the time, in the time, there comes a point where
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: human systems and spiritual counterfeits can't keep up with the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: real power of God. When God speaks, even skeptics will say,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: this is the finger of God. And from it coming
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: in from the book Patriarchs and Prophets, as we come
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to a swift close page two hundred and sixty five,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: every judgment was an appeal to the gods in whom
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the Egyptians trusted. God made the very objects of their
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: worship a source of suffering and shame. So what am
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I worshiping? That's really the question for me. What am
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I worshiping? What am I worshiping? And if I choose
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to worship anything above God? I mean, the Bible simply says,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and the Commandments have no other gods before me. This
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: is God, the creator of all things, the one who
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: loves us and gave us not only creation, but he
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: gave us recreation, that is redemption through the blood of Christ.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Now we can be saved and live with God eternally
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: without sin and completely with salvation. That God is saying,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: choose you whom you will serve. And I'm saying today,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I hope you're declaring the same as for me and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: my house. We're going to serve the Lord. Make it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a great day.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
