  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

• 1:37
  Speaker 2: If you would like to see this go on for
• 1:41

• 1:45
  Speaker 2: This is our second quarter so far, so okay, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say great, but if this is what you desired,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: then please please please share with as many people as
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: possible at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and we will get underwagh.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Father in heaven, thank you for giving us this day
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: our daily bread. Thank you for showing us how to overcome.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Please make us overcomers in Jesus' name. I pray a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: man and a man again. Christ has overcome the world.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited to share this with you because because
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the world. The Bible says
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that we should Paul speaking, he said we should we
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: should not allow the world to squeeze us into its mold.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that we should not be conformed to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You see where this is going. And so I'm thankful
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: because Jesus already overcame the world so we can be
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: transformed and not have to worry about conforming to the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: mold of this world. Okay, So I want to say
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that because sometimes people are trying to figure out, like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: how in the world do we do this? How do
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we do this? How do we do this? Jesus has
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: done it, and he has promised that he will be
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: with us that if we let this mind be in us,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: which was also in Christ, Jesus, he will superimpose his power.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He will instill his victory into our lives. And all
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we need to do is cooperate, surrender our will to God,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and cooperate. Now, I want to give an example, because
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: there are a number of ways that we can we
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: can go in discussing this, but I want to give
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: from First John chapter two a quick quiz. Okay, from
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: First John chapter two, beginning at verse fifteen, and then
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we'll go to lou chapter four, and the Bible reads
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: love not the world, neither the things that are in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the world. If anybody loves the world, the love of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Father is not in him, for all that is
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in the world, the lust of the flesh. Keep that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: list in mind. The lust of the flesh, and the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: not of the Father, but of the world. And the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: world passeth away, and the lust thereof But he that
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: doeth the will of God abideth forever. So do you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: want to abide forever life? Do you want to live
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: eternally with God? Do you want victory in every key
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: area of your life and your relationships and your finances, huh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: in your spiritual journey, your personal development and beyond. If
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that is what you're interested in, then take this passage
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to heart. Now, I want to go to the Bible
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Book of Luke chapter five, Luke chapter four, and I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: want to discuss very quickly the time that Jesus was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in the wilderness being tempted by the devil. Okay, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I want you to be on the lookout for some things.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And the Bible reads beginning at verse one and Jesus
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: being full of the Holy Ghost, he was what he
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: was full of the Holy Ghost. So the prerequisite to overcoming,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: as Jesus overcame, is to allow God's Holy Spirit to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: fill us. Okay, So he's full of the Holy Ghost
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and led by the Spirit into the wilderness. So as
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: we are full of the Holy Spirit, we are inclined
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to listen when he leads us and guides us. Okay.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Being forty days tempted of the devil, and in those
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: days he did eat nothing, and when they were ended,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he afterward was hungry. And the devil said unto him,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: if thou be the son of God, I want you
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to hear what he's saying, command this stone that it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: be made bread. If you had to pick one of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the three categories of sin that we just read from
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: First John chapter two, which would it be. Would it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, or
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: pride of life that the devil was tempting Jesus with
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: which are the three? Of course, it's the first lust
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of the flesh. He was trying to get Jesus to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: satisfy the desire or the needs of the flesh in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a way that would have been unholy. And Jesus verse
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: four answered him, saying, it is written that man shall
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So Jesus he wins. He wins against the lust of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the flesh. Verse five, And the devil taking him up
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: into a high mountain. I wish I had time to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: really drill this, but I just need to make this
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: one point, okay. And the devil, taking him up into
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a high mountain, showed him all of the kingdoms of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the world in a moment of time. And the devil said,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: unto him, all this power will I give thee and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the glory of them, For that is delivered unto me,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and to whomsoever I will give it. If therefore that
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: will worship me, all shall be thine. Which would that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, or
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: pride of life? And if you said lust of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: or lust of the eyes, then you would be correct.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: He showed him all of the kingdoms of the world.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: He dangled that proverbial carot before Jesus and said, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: will give you all of these things if you will
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: what go against God, break the law of God our father,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and worship the enemy. Of course, Jesus overcame lust of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the flesh. Now the lu of the eyes. He overcame
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that as well verse eight. And Jesus answered and said,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: unto him, get thee behind me, Satan, For it is written,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: shalt thou serve. Okay, And here we go in verse nine,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and he brought on. He brought him to Jerusalem and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: unto him, if thou be the son of God, cast
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: thyself down from hence he's telling Jesus to jump off
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: of the temple. What for it is written he shall
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: give his angels charge over thee to keep thee. He
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: lests some stuff out, But I don't have the time
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to deal with this. And in their hands shall they
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: foot against the stone. So which is it lust of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the flesh, lust of the eyes, or the pride of life?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, if you identified that it's number three, the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: pride of life, then again you would be correct. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the Bible says and verse twelve, and Jesus, answering, said,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: unto him, it is said, thou shalt not tempt the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Lord thy God. And the devil had ended all of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the temptation. He departed from him for a season, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and there went out of fame of him through all
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the region round about. I will just pause right here,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and so when the Bible says that Jesus was in
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: all points tempted like as we are, and yet without sin,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we see an illustration Jesus overcoming lust of the flesh,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: overcoming lust of the eyes, overcoming pride of life, so
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that you can overcome. Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
