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
- 0:22Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
- 0:26Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
- 0:31Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
- 0:36Speaker 2: June tenth in twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
- 0:40Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
- 0:42Speaker 2: your Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every
- 0:45Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
- 0:49Speaker 2: in our Lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
- 0:54Speaker 2: and our caption for today is boas as Redeemer, boas
- 1:00Speaker 2: as Redeemer. Before we get into that, I'd like to
- 1:03Speaker 2: just say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those who
- 1:06Speaker 2: are coming in for the very first time. If that's
- 1:09Speaker 2: you type A one in the chat, If this is
- 1:11Speaker 2: your first time listening or watching. I know those on
- 1:15Speaker 2: those two hundred radio stations can't do that. But if
- 1:18Speaker 2: you're online with me on any one of the thirty platforms,
- 1:21Speaker 2: please just type a one in the chat and say
- 1:24Speaker 2: this is my first time. Welcome to you. And for
- 1:27Speaker 2: those who continue every day, I really do appreciate you,
- 1:31Speaker 2: because it wouldn't make sense that we come together if
- 1:33Speaker 2: there's no wee. So you come every day, day in
- 1:36Speaker 2: and day out, and you bless my soul because now
- 1:39Speaker 2: I'm clear. I'm clear that God has a work for
- 1:43Speaker 2: me to do, and you too. Let's go ahead and
- 1:46Speaker 2: pray and get under way. Father, We thank you for
- 1:49Speaker 2: this new morning. Thank you for redeeming us. In Jesus' name,
- 1:54Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again bo Az as redeemer.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So if you are not familiar with the story, please
- 2:04Speaker 2: read the entire book of Ruth. It's not very long,
- 2:08Speaker 2: but even if it were, it'd be worth your time.
- 2:10Speaker 2: And I want you to ask and answer a question
- 2:13Speaker 2: here for yourself. Okay, are you ready? Who are you
- 2:16Speaker 2: connected to? Or to whom are you connected? Okay? Shout
- 2:21Speaker 2: to the Grammarians out there to whom are you connected?
- 2:26Speaker 2: And depending on the answer, you may need to move.
- 2:33Speaker 2: It may be your time to shift, make a move.
- 2:38Speaker 2: If you're connected to Christ in reality, then you're in
- 2:41Speaker 2: the right place. But if you're bound by the enemy,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and you have to be honest with yourself, it's not
- 2:47Speaker 2: my business. If you are bound by the enemy, then
- 2:52Speaker 2: you have to move right now. Wow, that's a low
- 2:57Speaker 2: flying plane. Anyway, Bo feels falls deeply in love with
- 3:04Speaker 2: Ruth and wishes to marry her. But there's one problem.
- 3:08Speaker 2: She's connected. She's connected to somebody else. You see, the
- 3:12Speaker 2: devil believes that he owns you, and depending on how
- 3:18Speaker 2: you relate to him, he may have good reason to
- 3:21Speaker 2: believe that, to believe that I said. And so there
- 3:25Speaker 2: was a moment in history where God was having a
- 3:29Speaker 2: council meeting. I don't know how else to say it.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And we see it in the Bible Book of Job
- 3:34Speaker 2: in chapter one, and the Bible says that the devil
- 3:37Speaker 2: shows up there and God asks him a simple question.
- 3:41Speaker 2: But if we understand the devil's response, we understand why
- 3:45Speaker 2: this is so critical. God asks him, where you're coming from, devil,
- 3:49Speaker 2: and he says, I come from going up and down
- 3:51Speaker 2: to and fro in the earth. And basically here is
- 3:54Speaker 2: he is saying, I am walking around up and down,
- 3:58Speaker 2: to and fro in the place where I have dominion.
- 4:01Speaker 2: That's the devil speaking. He feels like because he overcame Adam,
- 4:06Speaker 2: he overcame Eve, he overcame Moses, he overcame every human
- 4:11Speaker 2: being on planet Earth. He felt like he could just
- 4:15Speaker 2: run willy nilly and do whatever in the world that
- 4:17Speaker 2: he felt like he could do, because who's gonna stop him?
- 4:21Speaker 2: It's his world now, That's what he thought. That's what
- 4:24Speaker 2: he thought. And then God showed him something. He used
- 4:27Speaker 2: a case study. He said, Hey, have you considered my
- 4:30Speaker 2: servant job. He's the guy who there's no one like.
- 4:34Speaker 2: He's the one who, just like everybody else, he did
- 4:37Speaker 2: one once in his life jump into sin or fall
- 4:41Speaker 2: into sin, as the case may be. But he eschews evil.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Now he turns the shoulder. He repented, and he lives
- 4:49Speaker 2: a life of repentance. He keeps his connection fresh with me.
- 4:53Speaker 2: There's none like him in all the Earth. And the
- 4:55Speaker 2: long story short, God showed the devil through the life
- 5:00Speaker 2: of job that no matter what pressure a person a
- 5:04Speaker 2: child of God is under, that child of God will
- 5:08Speaker 2: remain constant and consistent with God. Yes, we will go
- 5:13Speaker 2: through trials. Yes, we will go through tribulations. But Jesus
- 5:17Speaker 2: loves us. This I know, for the Bible tells me
- 5:20Speaker 2: so little ones to him belong. They are weak, but
- 5:24Speaker 2: he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me. Just like Boaz
- 5:29Speaker 2: started to love Ruth, and so that barrier, the fact
- 5:34Speaker 2: that she was connected to someone else, needed to be dismantled.
- 5:38Speaker 2: You see, Jesus dismantled the barrier between life and death.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Jesus dismantled the barrier that made it made it that
- 5:49Speaker 2: we were separated from God. And he did so by
- 5:52Speaker 2: giving his life. You see, Jesus gave his life so
- 5:56Speaker 2: that when the devil would rejoice over the body of
- 6:00Speaker 2: Moses who had died. Yes, and he died because of
- 6:05Speaker 2: his transgressions and sins, his trespasses and sins. We were
- 6:10Speaker 2: all once dead in trespasses and sins. Ah, I want
- 6:15Speaker 2: to read. I want to read the story. I was
- 6:17Speaker 2: going to tell it, but let me read it. From
- 6:18Speaker 2: Patriarchs and Prophets, page to four hundred and seventy eight. See,
- 6:22Speaker 2: the devil thought that he had Moses on lockdown for
- 6:28Speaker 2: the first time. Christ was about to give life to
- 6:32Speaker 2: the dead. As the Prince of Life and the shining
- 6:36Speaker 2: Ones approached the grave, that's the angels of God, Satan
- 6:41Speaker 2: was alarmed for his supremacy with his evil angels. He
- 6:47Speaker 2: stood to dispute an invasion of the territory that he
- 6:52Speaker 2: claimed as his own. He boasted that the servant of God,
- 6:57Speaker 2: meaning Moses, had become his prisoner. He declared that even
- 7:01Speaker 2: Moses was not able to keep the love of God
- 7:04Speaker 2: that he had taken to himself the glory due to Yahweh,
- 7:08Speaker 2: blessed be his name. The very sin which had caused
- 7:12Speaker 2: Satan's banishment from heaven and by transgression, had come under
- 7:18Speaker 2: the dominion of Satan. You know what the difference is.
- 7:20Speaker 2: I end the quote right here. The difference in this
- 7:23Speaker 2: story and the Devil's story is that Moses repented. Oh my,
- 7:29Speaker 2: I said, Moses repented, And so when the Redeemer comes
- 7:33Speaker 2: to claim what is rightfully his because Jesus gave his
- 7:37Speaker 2: life for us. Yes, it was prophetic at that time,
- 7:41Speaker 2: but Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen. He
- 7:43Speaker 2: knew exactly that he would lay down his life that
- 7:46Speaker 2: he might take it up again so that every human
- 7:49Speaker 2: being who has ever been born of a woman. If
- 7:53Speaker 2: he or she repents can be saved. All we need
- 7:58Speaker 2: to do is sar under our will. And Jesus knew
- 8:01Speaker 2: exactly what he was doing. He redeemed us by his
- 8:06Speaker 2: blood and the devil couldn't do anything about it. And so, really,
- 8:11Speaker 2: again the question, as I asked in the beginning, to
- 8:14Speaker 2: whom are you connected? If you're connected to Christ, please
- 8:18Speaker 2: do remain connected to him. Don't allow the devil to
- 8:22Speaker 2: do anything that would separate you from God. Also, if not,
- 8:29Speaker 2: today is the day that you move. Today is the
- 8:33Speaker 2: day that you're. Boaz in the spiritual application of the story,
- 8:38Speaker 2: will see you, your Ruth right now. He will see you,
- 8:42Speaker 2: and he will say whatever I need to do to
- 8:45Speaker 2: get Ruth into my life so that Ruth can live
- 8:50Speaker 2: under my favor, so Ruth can live under my covering,
- 8:54Speaker 2: so Ruth can have a relationship with me and me
- 8:58Speaker 2: with her, so we can live haply ever after, throughout
- 9:02Speaker 2: the ceaseless ages of eternity. I'm going to do it.
- 9:05Speaker 2: And so the question really is, did Ruth accept the
- 9:10Speaker 2: hand of Boaz as he did whatever he needed to
- 9:13Speaker 2: do to redeem her. Did she accept it? And the
- 9:17Speaker 2: answer is yes. It's it's in the annals of history.
- 9:22Speaker 2: She said yes, She said yes. Do you say yes
- 9:26Speaker 2: to God? Yes, Lord, Yes to your will and to
- 9:29Speaker 2: your way. And if you do, then Jesus Christ will
- 9:33Speaker 2: have redeemed you through his blood. And when you say
- 9:37Speaker 2: yes to Him, that means throughout the ceaseless ages of
- 9:40Speaker 2: eternity you will be with your redeemer. Make it a
- 9:44Speaker 2: great day, peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, Make it a great day. Yeah.
