10 07 2024 Surely, He Is the Prophet · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  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
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  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
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

• 0:33

• 0:36
  Speaker 2: October seven, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Lesson study series themes in the Gospel of John, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is surely He is the Prophet. Huh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: surely he is the Profit. We'll get into that in
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome
• 1:03

  Speaker 2: and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you for giving us this day and for the privilege
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that you have entrusted to us to open your word again.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I pray that we will see you as you are
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in your glory, as we look at you by faith,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: until the day that we can actually stand in your
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: presence and see you face to face in Jesus name,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So yesterday I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: was really excited because I'm looking at Jesus as no
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: ordinary man, not just a prophet, even though he told
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: us things before they happened, so that when we did
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: see them happen, that we could believe. Yes, but he's
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: no ordinary man. He was one hundred percent God as
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he was walking on planet Earth. He still is ah
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: walking on planet Earth as one hundred percent God and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent male man human right together and this
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: is how he was able to affect our salvation. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: sometimes people get a little bit out of shape because
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I keep using the terminology God interchangeably with Christ. Okay,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So let's look at it as I'm speaking here, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'll get off of that subject in a moment. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: look at that as a family name God, So God
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the Father, God the Son, God, the Holy Spirit. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time to really teach on that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: term monology and the Hebrew word that is behind it,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: but I don't have that time. But let me just
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: say I'm using the term interchangeably as a family name.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So Jesus Christ. We're talking about God the Sun. Okay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: God the Sun, and so God the Sun was no
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: ordinary man as he lived on planet Earth. Extraordinary, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful because if an ordinary man, even a sinless
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ordinary man, would not have been able to save us
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: from our sins. Okay. And so now we read now
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in the Bible Book of John, chapter six, beginning at
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: verse fourteen. John chapter six, beginning at verse fourteen, we
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: are continuing the story of God's provision from Yesterday's lesson.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: His miraculous provision to the degree that there was overflow.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We didn't even talk about the overflow yesterday. There was overflow.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: When God pours into your life miraculously, he makes provision
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for you in whatever way he chooses to, there is
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: always overflow. Whatever He does for you is not just
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: for you. Can I just say that, like whatever He
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: does for you, he doesn't just do it for you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Despite some of these exciting gospel songs, you know what
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: God has for me, it is for me, no disrespect.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I like how the song sounds, I love how it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: feels when I sing it. But what I'm saying is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it's not just for you. It never has been just
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: for us. Whatever God provides for us, it is freely
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: You have received, freely give. And so in verse fourteen
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of John chapter six, we read then those men, when
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, this said,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: this is a truth that prophet should come into the world.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: This is of a truth that prophet that should come
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: into the world. So they were looking forward to a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: special manifestation of from God. When Jesus therefore perceived that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: they would come and take him by force to make
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: See the timing. The timing was not right. The timing
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was not right. To elevate Jesus as King of kings
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and Lord of lords. He's worthy of our worship. Yes,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: but these people really wanted someone to follow, to overthrow
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the government that they were attached to Rome. They wanted
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to overthrow, They wanted to elevate and then say in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: your face like, finally we have somebody who can rule
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: over you. And Jesus is like, no, I'm not about
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that life. This is not what we're here for. We're
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: here to save people ah from their sins. And so
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in verse twenty six we continue. Jesus answered and said, verily, verily,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I say unto you. You seek me not because you
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: loaves and were filled. You see, sometimes we go to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: God simply to receive daily provision. Sometimes we limit our
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: access in our own minds to the things that we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: can see, taste, touch, and experience through our senses. God
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: give me a job. God give me a relationship with
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a man or a woman, so I can be married.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: If you're a woman, you want a husband. If you're
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a man, you want a wife. And God is saying, Okay,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I can do that, but I can do so much more. God,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I need some money to pay my light bill. Okay,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I can do that, but that I can do so
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: much more. Like God, I need my car fixed. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: can do that, but I can do so much more.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Are you? Are you really just satisfied with the loaves
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and fish? Jesus says in verse twenty seven, labor not
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: give unto you. For him hath God the Father sealed.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Then said they unto him we shall. What shall we
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: do that we might work the works of God? And
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I want you, brothers and sisters, I understand that we
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: are living in the last days. I understand that sometimes
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: God's people complicate the truth in the last days, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: we make it seem as if we have to jump
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: through some hoops or somehow go through a Navy seal
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: training course and do some extreme things in order to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: be in connection with God. But what Jesus says here
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is apropos or still applicable. In twenty twenty four, I'll
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: read the question again and then I'll read the answer.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Verse twenty eight. Then said they, unto him, what shall
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we do that we might work the works of God?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And Jesus answered and said, unto them, this is the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: work of God that ye believe on him whom he
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: hath sent. Come on, you should be excited right now,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You should be relieved right now. Your stress levels should
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: be going down. Right now. The intensity with which you
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: think about God should be coming down. And say, but God,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: why are you so good to me? Why are you
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: so good to me? He said, Believe in the one
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: whom you sin, whom God has sent. Believe the kind
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of belief that lays hold of the power of God
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and is transforming our hearts, so that He writes his
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: laws in our hearts and on our minds. And we
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: live like Jesus lived. Believe no funny hoops to jump through,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: no complicated things to do, no additional things that we
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: add on to what God has said. He said, believe
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in whom God has sent. Verse thirty. They said, therefore,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: unto him, what signs show us now then that we
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: may see and believe thee What doest thou, What dost
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: As it is written, he gave them bread from heaven
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to eat. Then Jesus said, unto them, verily, verily, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: say unto you. Moses gave you not that bread from heaven.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. Hah.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: For the Bread of God is he which cometh down
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: from heaven and giveth life unto the world. Can I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: just say that Jesus was right there, the ultimate and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: real article, the genuine article, the Bread of life. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: these guys are still looking for some temporary stuff to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: prove something. Jesus Christ is who we need to transform
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: our lives. Let them transform us today. 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,
