09 04 2025 Filled With the Spirit of God · 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 Thursday, September four,
• 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
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Exodus, and our caption
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: for today is filled with the Spirit of God. Filled
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with the Spirit of God. We'll get into that in
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: very first time. Please go over to your Daily Portion

• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and pray and get under way. Father, We thank you,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us this day and getting us
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: so far into the work week. Lord, We're coming down
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: into the sabbath time and I'm asking you to please
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: fill us with your spirit, help us to be receptive
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to your word. In Jesus name, I pray Amen, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a man again filled with the Spirit of God. May
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I just say it another way. We want to be
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: filled with the Holy Ghost in twenty twenty five, not
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: looking backwards, but recognizing that God is ready, willing and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: available today to give us his spirit. We ask Him
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: for the latter reign, latter reign of power as we
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: receive the early rain in our experience. We weren't there
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in the first century of the Church or the first
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: at the first century Church. We are here now and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: we can receive the early reign of conversion, that jumpstart
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that God gives to every human being who is willing
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to receive him, that all have a measure of faith.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And then God gives to the people who yield to him.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: The early reign of power, that part of the experience
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: with the Holy Ghost that says, now you're able to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: follow me. But in the last days we need something special.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We need the fullness, We need the refreshing that comes
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: from the presence of the Lord, because the last days,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: if you've not been paying attention, comes with its own
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: challenges that we've not seen at any time in Earth's history. Yes,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: during the days of Noah, it was rough. Yes, during
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, with Lot and his
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: family coming out of there, et cetera. That was a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: difficult time. But now we are living at the grand
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and awful time that is just before Jesus comes. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: so we need special power from the Holy Ghost. Okay.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And so we look backward now at the story of
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: God's people during the Exodus, and we learn a few lessons,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a few lessons beginning with Exodus chapter thirty one and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: verse three, and the Bible reads, and I have filled
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: him with the Spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Before
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: we apply it to what's actually in front of us,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: think about it. The Holy Ghost the spirit of God,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the third person of the Godhead, is in available for
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: us to receive wisdom so that we can also have understanding.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Are you lacking wisdom? The Bible says, if anybody lacks wisdom,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: ask of God, and he will give wisdom fully, fully,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and he will not hold the wisdom back. I ask
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: God for the wisdom of Solomon times two. That's what
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I ask for regularly, and understanding and knowledge. So God
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: does care if we know how to do what he
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: has called us to do. He's not leaving us alone
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to just figure it out and say, okay, well, I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: wound you up like a little toy, pushed you into
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the work that I have called you to do, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: let me know if you need anything. He is the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: one who's making the first move. And then, of course,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in all manner of workmanship, So when you even have
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to work with your hands, the tactical practical things that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you need to do. Is it something that you do
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in your church, Is it something you do in your community,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: your family, something you do in your professional life. Where
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: God needs you to be fully active, he will give
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you his Holy Spirit so you can be fully active
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: for him. Now, God doesn't just call people to serve him.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He equips them super naturally to do the work with wisdom, skill,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and beauty. And that's what was going on with the sanctuary.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: God said, I'm not going to leave it up to them.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to just throw a blueprint at them
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and say, okay, now work it out, let me see
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: what you come up with. No, through his spirit, now
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: he is giving those men the ability to do exactly
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: his will. And so the action step in this case
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is to ask the Holy Ghost to fill you for
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: your specific calling. I do it every morning, every single morning.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Please fill me, whether creative, Oh you thought it was
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: just to each the Bible, though, whether it's something creative, administrative,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: or relational, the Holy Spirit is ready willing and available
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to guide us on the right pathway. Our second lesson
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: comes in from verse thirteen of Exodus, chapter thirteen. Verily,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my sabbaths ye shall keep, for it is a sign
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: know that I am the Lord which doth sanctify you.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Let me read it from Exodus from the New English translation.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Surely you must keep my sabbaths, for it is a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: sign between me and you throughout your generations, so that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So it's not just a day where we don't do anything.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I know that there are a lot of people who
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: feel like Sabbath is a time to just not do nothing.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That's not the case, right, It's a divine reminder alone.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: That is a divine reminder that God alone sets us
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: aside for a holy use. M hm, You're not alone.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Like Jesus said in the New Testament, he said that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be with you alway, even to the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: end of the age. And so the Sabbath is a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: sign that God is still with you. The Sabbath is
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a sign. The seventh day Sabbath is a sign that
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: God has not only called you, but he is continually
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: equipping you to do all of His good pleasure until
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Jesus comes. So please ask God to help you to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: prepare for the Sabbath with purpose, not just to clean
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the toilets, not just to make sure the rooms are
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all clean and that the food is prepared before the Sabbath.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: We know this not only to make sure that the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: things that you would normally read are out of sight
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: during the Sabbath hours, because it's to be distracted, not that, huh,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: but to be doing it with purpose. Let it be
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a time of surrender and recognition of God's transforming presence
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: in your life. And then, finally, finally, coming in from
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: verse eighteen of Exodus, chapter thirty one, we read and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: he gave unto Moses two tables of testimony. You remember,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I said the other day that these tablets were of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: sapphire stone. These stone tablets were from of sapphire, sapphire
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in color. I wish I had the time, But the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: two tables of testimony tables of stone written with the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: finger of God. God loves you so much that he
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: actually inscribed or emblazoned upon sapphire stone from the pavement
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that came from his actual throne. He pulled these stones
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: for Moses to show to the people of of God.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: He emblazoned the covenant. He emblazoned the transcript of his
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: own character so they could see their part and God's part,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that he would enable those who love him to actually
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: keep his commandments. So these commandments were handwritten by God
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: as a covenantal gift meant to live inside the heart
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of his sanctuary. Yes, and the heart of his people.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So reflect on the Ten Commandments. Please and thanks, not
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: as demands but as promise for the spirit filled life.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Write one on your heart through prayerful meditation. 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.
