06 05 2024 Spiritualism in the Last Days Part 1 · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Goo. Good morning, good morning,
• 0:33
  good morning. It is Wednesday, June five, twenty twenty four.
• 0:37
  Hello, my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and
• 0:40
  this is your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
• 0:44
  and today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series the
• 0:49
  Great Controversy. Our caption for today is Spiritualism in the Last Days. We're
• 0:55
  going with part number one, Spiritualism in the Last Days, and this is
• 1:00
  part one. We'll get into that in just a moment, but first I
• 1:03
  like to say welcome to you and ask you to please go over to your
• 1:06
  Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community, join the coaching program
• 1:11
  if it suits you and also let us know where you are in the world
• 1:15
  at your daily portion dot com. This is a way that we continue to
• 1:19
  build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will
• 1:23
  get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new day
• 1:27
  and for the privilege of opening your word again. Please give us your understanding,
• 1:32
  but beyond that, insulate us against the devil's deceptions. Father, Please
• 1:38
  help us to embrace the truth and to live according to that word, which
• 1:42
  is truth in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Spiritualism
• 1:49
  in the Last Days, Part two oh one. I'm running ahead. Yeah.
• 1:53
  The lesson study writer says that the devil will use signs and wonder and
• 2:00
  spectacular miracles to deceive multitudes just be cut before the coming of Jesus Christ and
• 2:07
  a heel Rodriguez makes this telling statement, I hope you're ready for it.
• 2:13
  Their power of persuasion is to be found not in the content of their message,
• 2:19
  but in the power of supernatural manifestations called air quotes, signs, or
• 2:24
  quotes miracles. They perform or do signs, thus appealing to the effective side
• 2:32
  effective side of human beings rather than their discretionary and rational abilities. The fact
• 2:42
  that these signs are performed by demons shows that the unifying force of the message
• 2:47
  of the demons, the dragon, the beast, the false prophet is spiritualistic
• 2:53
  in nature. God is not their source or origin. As the Cosmic Conflict
• 3:00
  approaches its closure, demonic power will enter the arena of human history in an
• 3:06
  unprecedented way. Spiritualism, whose very foundation is the non biblical teaching of immortality
• 3:14
  of the soul, will nearly take the world captive. And this is coming
• 3:19
  from page six of the closing of the Cosmic Conflict book, Roll of the
• 3:24
  Three Angels Messages. Now let me just slow this down just a little bit
• 3:30
  and ask you if you can remember a story in the Scriptures where Moses was
• 3:36
  there he had received his call from God and what he must do, and
• 3:40
  the magicians of Egypt were also present. There was a time when God said,
• 3:46
  throw down your rod, and that rod became a snake, right or
• 3:50
  a serpent. And of course the magicians they would replicate such of a sign
• 3:55
  in quotes. But there came a point where God had to manifest his real
• 4:01
  power, his creative power, and gobble up the false reality. The deception
• 4:11
  that he allowed those magicians to accomplish. So when God did what he did
• 4:18
  as a real life sign, the devil did what counterfeited them that sign.
• 4:26
  And we have many times in history, many times even currently, where the
• 4:30
  devil uses sleight of hand. He uses dark arts in order to deceive people.
• 4:34
  That is his goal. His goal is to deceive people. And when
• 4:40
  you bring it into the Last Days, in the context of what we're talking
• 4:43
  about, he mixes truth with error. He mixes like he did at the
• 4:49
  Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil, he caused a snake to appear
• 4:55
  to speak, right, he used that deception as the was speaking. And
• 5:00
  now the devil is as a ventriloquist in that case, speaking contrary to what
• 5:06
  God said in even the most slight details. He added one word, He
• 5:13
  added insinuations of doubt and all kinds of things. But ultimately he led Eve
• 5:18
  astray through a serpent, and that serpent now speaking is saying the opposite of
• 5:28
  what God taught. Okay, and so in the last days he will use
• 5:32
  similar let's call them deceptions. And when you know that something or someone or
• 5:41
  some manifestation is going against God's word, you know that that is enchanted territory.
• 5:48
  God's word is solid, it is quick, it is sharper than any
• 5:53
  two edged sword. And when anything goes against the scriptures, we know that
• 5:58
  the devil is at work. Now let's jump into the book of Matthew.
• 6:01
  I know I'm oversimplifying, so be prayerful. Matthew, Chapter twenty four and
• 6:06
  verse twenty four, the Bible reiterates, there shall be there shall arise false
• 6:12
  christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders. Do you
• 6:17
  understand what I just read? And so seeing is not necessarily believing, Not
• 6:24
  in the last days especially, seeing is not necessarily believing, because they will
• 6:30
  also show signs and wonders. Insomuch that and oh my goodness, watch what
• 6:34
  Matthew says here. If it were possible, now that is a conditional.
• 6:40
  If it were possible, they would deceive the very elect God's people. God's
• 6:46
  people would be deceived if it were possible. That is how unbelievable or believable.
• 6:55
  Maybe I should say that these signs, the false signs, the wonders,
• 6:59
  the fault wonders, the supernatural movements will be and some people will think
• 7:04
  that they are actually encountering people that they know and love but have passed away.
• 7:11
  Grandma who passed away in nineteen seventy three may show up, or what
• 7:15
  looks like Grandma, what sounds like, may even smell like what you recall
• 7:23
  Grandma to have smelt like, may appear. But the Bible says that the
• 7:29
  living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything. They
• 7:32
  will have no more part in anything under the sun. And so when the
• 7:39
  Bible tells us there will be false prophets and false Christs and so forth,
• 7:46
  that the very elect would be deceived if it were possible. It teaches us
• 7:50
  that we should always anchor our faith in the solid foundation of Scripture, not
• 7:57
  in the emotionally charged or supernatural manifestations that can mislead even the vigilant if we
• 8:07
  allow them to remember, God's word is the ultimate filter through which all experiences
• 8:13
  and teachings must be evaluated. We're staying textbook here because I don't want to
• 8:18
  miss anything. In second Corinth, Second Thessalonians, Chapter two, verses nine
• 8:24
  and ten, the Bible reads even him whose coming is after the working of
• 8:28
  Satan, with all power and signs, and what kind of wonders lying wonders,
• 8:33
  and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they receive not
• 8:41
  the love of the truth, that they may be saved. And so we
• 8:45
  find in the scriptures, if you continue to read in that chapter, that
• 8:48
  there will be people who will receive and believe a lie because they did not
• 8:54
  love the truth. God will allow people to believe, like he allowed King
• 8:58
  Saul to believe, believe that he actually saw Samuel coming up when the witch
• 9:03
  at Endoor had told him that Samuel came up, when really, and truly,
• 9:09
  that is not possible what he experienced, and really he didn't even see
• 9:13
  it fully, but what he experienced was lying wonders. And in the last
• 9:16
  days, there are people who will teach and or beings who will teach and
• 9:20
  preach and appear as if they are ministers of righteousness. But the Bible teaches
• 9:26
  us measure it against the Word, and you will be safe. And so
• 9:33
  spiritualism. In the Last Day's part one, let's learn something simple. God
• 9:37
  loves you so much, how much He has given you his word to measure
• 9:41
  everything that you see and experience by so you can be seene. Thanks for
• 9:45
  joining us listening to 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,
