06 20 2024 The Loud Cry · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Thursday, June twenty, twenty twenty four. Hello, my
• 0:38
  name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:41
  Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today is
• 0:45
  no exception. We are continuing in our lesson study series, the Great Controversy.
• 0:51
  We're coming to and close, but we're not quite there yet. Our
• 0:54
  caption for today is the Loud Cry, The Loud Cry. We'll get into
• 1:00
  that in just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome to you
• 1:03
  and ask you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Join
• 1:07
  our online community. Also, join our coaching program. Let us know where
• 1:11
  you are in the world, and this is a way that we continue to
• 1:15
  build faith and fellowship at your Daily Portion dot com. I think we can
• 1:22
  go ahead and pray. Yeah, let's go ahead and pray, and then
• 1:25
  we will get underway. Father and Heaven, Thank you for giving us this
• 1:29
  day. Thank you for loving us beyond belief. Thank you for choosing to
• 1:36
  let us serve you. Thank you for giving us a message to cry out
• 1:40
  with. Please help us to be faithful in Jesus' name. I pray,
• 1:45
  Amen and Amen again, the loud cry, the loud cry. All right,
• 1:52
  So the latter rain, we were talking about it yesterday. The latter
• 1:57
  rain is preparatory for something. Of course, we know that Jesus is on
• 2:01
  his way. We also know that there is a time of trouble that people
• 2:07
  call the tribulation. That is unlike any other time of trouble. It's an
• 2:12
  interesting time because God's people who would have already been prepared for it through the
• 2:17
  power of the Holy Spirit. Oh, yes, we did say latter rain.
• 2:21
  The fullness of the rain, the power of the Holy Spirit has now
• 2:23
  been infused into God's people's lives. And we are also waiting for Jesus to
• 2:30
  come. While Jesus is no longer mediating in the heavenly sanctuary. So those
• 2:38
  who are who are holy, they are already holy, and they're sealed that
• 2:43
  way. Those who are righteous are already righteous. They are sealed that way.
• 2:47
  Those who are unrighteous are already unrighteous, and they have chosen that they
• 2:53
  are marked that way. I hope you're hearing that language. Those who are
• 2:58
  unholy, unrighteous, and filthy, those people would have chosen that pathway.
• 3:02
  And then we're talking about people who are alive, right, those individuals will
• 3:07
  be marked that way because that is the decision that they have made. Ultimately,
• 3:14
  they've decided that, you know, that's it. But the latter Rain
• 3:17
  is preparatory for the last opportunity to either be sealed in the ways that I
• 3:25
  described, or marked in the ways that I just described, sealed in a
• 3:32
  righteous reality, or marked in an unrighteous reality. And so there is one
• 3:39
  I would call it last ditch effort, and that is the loud cry.
• 3:44
  And in Revelation chapter eighteen, verses one through four, we see the message
• 3:50
  that God has given his people who are receiving the Latter Rain to go into
• 3:55
  the world and to cry out that Babylon has fallen, like all of the
• 4:00
  confusion that has been infused into the world regarding how to be in relationship with
• 4:08
  God, the pathway to Heaven, all of that, plus what Babylon has
• 4:14
  poured into the world about what worship really is and who has authority and who
• 4:20
  is worthy of worshiping, whether the seventh day Sabbath is the Sabbath of the
• 4:25
  Lord Thy God, or if we can just change it, we can just
• 4:29
  change it by a stroke of a pen and switch it to something else.
• 4:32
  And God is saying, I'm pulling all of the covers off. I am
• 4:38
  showing everybody exactly how this is, and now I need you to remove yourselves
• 4:44
  from that Babylonish mindset, that confusion and that false pathway to God. Okay,
• 4:51
  And it's like, okay, well, who will hear you? See,
• 4:55
  if there's a cry, who will hear? In John chapter ten,
• 4:59
  Giz has said very clearly that my sheep hear my voice. They are known
• 5:05
  of me. My sheep hear my voice. And so that call, that
• 5:10
  cry that God's people with extra power from Heaven will make in that part of
• 5:15
  the last days, will be heard by people who genuinely love God, people
• 5:21
  who genuinely love God, but we're genuinely off track, genuinely off base where
• 5:27
  worship is concerned. And so that cry goes out, and those people hear
• 5:32
  God's voice. And so it says here in the lesson, at the end
• 5:35
  of time, the Holy Spirit will be poured out in unprecedented power. The
• 5:41
  Gospel will be spread rapidly to the ends of the earth. I love it.
• 5:45
  Thousands will be converted in a day, and God's grace and truth will
• 5:49
  impact the entire planet. In this way, the world will be warned,
• 5:55
  and the Gospel and the hope it offers will be spread world wide. And
• 6:00
  now from the book Great Controversy, pages six eleven and six twelve, the
• 6:04
  great work of the Gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power
• 6:10
  of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring
• 6:15
  of the former Rain and the out opening of the Gospel, are to again
• 6:21
  to be fulfilled in the latter rain. At its close, servants of God,
• 6:27
  with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration. Lord, give
• 6:31
  us that light today, I pray, will hasten from place to place to
• 6:38
  proclaim the message from heaven by thousands of voices all over the earth. The
• 6:45
  warning will be given, Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed,
• 6:50
  and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Signs and wonders will follow
• 7:00
  believers. That's the end of the quote. And so the question really is
• 7:02
  how do we prepare for the loud cry? That's the question God's people,
• 7:09
  how do we prepare for the Loud's cry? If you're not one of God's
• 7:12
  loud cry, if you're not one of God's people, well, today is
• 7:15
  your day. You can choose to follow Jesus today, say yes, Lord,
• 7:18
  yes to your will and to your way, and become one of his
• 7:21
  children. Surrender yourself, confess your sins. We all need to do it.
• 7:28
  We all need to do it. Nobody's exempt and say God, I
• 7:30
  agree with you. Live in a way where you agree with God, and
• 7:34
  then ask him what you would have He would have you to do right and
• 7:38
  for those who have done that, and we are preparing for our part in
• 7:44
  this last cry to people who need to serve God more fully, this is
• 7:49
  some of what we need to do. Deepen our commitment in prayer in Acts
• 7:54
  chapter one and verse fourteen, we take a page from the early believers.
• 7:59
  All these with one accord, were devoting themselves to prayer together with the women
• 8:05
  and marry the mother of Jesus and his brothers. And so we engage in
• 8:11
  active, intentional, powerful, transformative times of prayer because we need to be
• 8:18
  connected to God. One of my favorite writers said that prayer is opening our
• 8:24
  hearts to God as to a friend. And so we prioritize prayer in the
• 8:31
  last days. And in Colossians chapter three and verse sixteen, the Bible says,
• 8:35
  let the Word of Christ to dwell in you, richly, teaching and
• 8:37
  admonishing one another in wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with
• 8:45
  thankfulness in your heart. And so we immerse ourselves in the Bible, the
• 8:50
  Word of God, and we embrace those opportunities to sing unto the Lord a
• 8:56
  song of triumph, like we sing unto the Lord all the earth, and
• 9:00
  we give God his praise and thanks. But we immerse ourselves in the study
• 9:07
  of our of the Word, and ask God to transform our lives according to
• 9:13
  what we have read. Okay, And in one Peter chapter one, verses
• 9:16
  fifteen and sixteen. The Bible says, but as he who called you is
• 9:22
  holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. Since it is written
• 9:31
  you shall be holy, for I am holy. So God has given us
• 9:35
  the blueprint to prepare for this time the loud cry, and then one day
• 9:41
  soon Jesus will return. Make it a great day. Please, Thanks for
• 9:45
  joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread alone,
• 9:50
  but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been
• 9:54
  your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
