  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
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then do some of us expect yesterday's

  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

  Speaker 2: please transform our lives today. In Jesus' name I pray, amen, amen,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and amen. Again, revelation and inspiration. I'm just going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: go ahead and jump right into our first lesson for
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: today from Revelation chapter 1 and verse 1. I want
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you to look into your King James versions of the Bible,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the actual physical Bibles. I want you to go in
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: there and I want you to observe. What does it say?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Usually there's like a little message on top and it
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: says something about what you're about to read. and then
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'll ask you a question in a moment. Now, the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Bible reads here in verse 1, hopefully you're there, you're
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: looking into your Bibles, and you're seeing whatever it says
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: before the text opens up. The Bible says, the revelation
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: unto him his servants things which must shortly come to pass.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And he sent and signified it by his angel, unto
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: his servant John. The Bible says this is the revelation
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. What does the little thing on top
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: before the scripture opens up say in your Bible? Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't say the revelation of Saint John
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the Divine. That's what Some of them do say. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: hope you don't have one of those. But we know
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: that this was never about St. John the Divine. This
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: was never about John. It was never about a human.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It was always about Jesus Christ. And that's where people
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: get it twisted. Sometimes people mix up what the Revelation is.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: People think that it's about beasts and kings and kingdoms.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They think it's about things that are going to be
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: destroyed in the seven last plagues. They think that the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Revelation is is those things. Like I said to you yesterday,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: sometimes people get so close to the Scripture and think
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that that's where they're getting close. But really, God is saying,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I'm leading you to a relationship with me. So this revelation,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: even though he will open up the vision that he
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: sealed up when Daniel was around, it has always been
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: about Jesus. It's the revelation of Jesus Christ. which God
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: gave unto him. And the only way that we can
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: receive this revelation, brothers and sisters, is if we are
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: servants of the most high God, blessed be his name.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: There are people who have written all kinds of special
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: coded books that supposedly give us understanding of about the revelation,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: because they will say in their preambles that nobody can
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: understand this, so I'm going to give you the keys
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to it. And I'm like, ah, but wait a minute.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: The Holy Ghost says that God has given us the revelation,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and even John received it by an angel in that case,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: because he was a servant of God. So if you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: want the threefold blessings of the revelation that God gave
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, those blessings, then you need to be
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a servant of God. You don't have to be special
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: or intelligent in a way that nobody else is. You
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: simply need to be a servant of the Most High God.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Blessed be his name. And then he will uncover, he
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: will reveal, he will disclose the hidden truths of who
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Jesus is. You understand where we're going with this? So
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: God uncovers us. what we would never discover on our own,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: sending his truth down a chain of love to reach us.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And so this revelation of Jesus Christ we have just
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: read a little bit about is his gift, given so
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that we may know him and his purposes. Jesus said
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: this is life eternal. Do you remember that? That they
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: may know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: whom thou hast sent. That's the beauty of this revelation. Now,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about more prophecy here in 2
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Peter chapter 1 and verse 21 for our second lesson
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for this morning. The Bible reads, for the prophecy came
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: not in old time by the will of man. Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: there are still false prophets around here generating prophecies. It's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: almost like AI, like you're AI-ing prophecies. You're making up
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: stuff and spitting it out, saying that it is God,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: but in fact it is not. The false prophets, I'm saying.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: But God is saying that the true prophecy didn't come
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: by the will of man, but holy men of God.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So that means that God already is transforming these men.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: God is already speaking his words into the lives of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: these men. That means that they already measure up to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: those key indicators in the scriptures about who is a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: true prophet. It is in these moments now that we
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: can see that they spake as they were moved by
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost. They were not moved by their own passions.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They were not moved by AI-generated prophecies. They were not
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: moved by what the devil was insinuating and causing people
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to doubt about. They were moved by the Holy Ghost.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: The prophets did not invent their messages, but were carried
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: along by the Spirit of God. What they spoke came
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: from God, and that is why we can trust it fully.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So as you're reading in the scriptures, I want you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to trust them today. Trust God, huh? That he was
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: wise enough and powerful enough to preserve his words down
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: through the millennia so that you and I could have
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: them and receive eternal life as we understand what God
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: is guiding us to do.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Our third lesson comes in. Do we have enough time?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: 2 Timothy chapter 3 and verse 16. I'll make this
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: one simple. All scripture is given by inspiration of God.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: So that means God breathed this scripture in the same
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: way he formed Adam and Eve. He formed them, formed
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Adam in this case, from the dust of the earth,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and then he breathed into him the breath of life,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and he became a living soul. And then God took
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: from his rib and made him a woman, Eve, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he gave her the life that only comes from God,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and she became a living soul. That's the same way
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: we have the Word. The Word of God is breathed,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: God breathed, inspired, and is profitable for doctrine. That's Bible teaching,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: all of it. for reproof, for correction and righteousness, that
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the men and women of God may be perfect, that's complete,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: throughly furnished unto all good works. So let a passage
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of scripture, just one today, teach or correct you today,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: receiving it as God's breathed instruction meant to give you
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: life and that life more abundantly. Y'all make it a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: great day.
• 9:42
  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 L. David Harris. Make it a great day.
