Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

- 0:55Speaker 2: all the world. Go into all the world. And I
- 0:59Speaker 2: suppose that that is more than just a caption. It
- 1:02Speaker 2: is a call for all of us go into all
- 1:04Speaker 2: the world and share the great news of Jesus Christ
- 1:08Speaker 2: and how he can save any of us from our sins.
- 1:12Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment. But first
- 1:14Speaker 2: I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
- 1:16Speaker 2: to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

- 1:36Speaker 2: let us know where you are in the world at
- 1:39Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
- 1:42Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
- 1:46Speaker 2: go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this new
- 1:51Speaker 2: day and for loving us so much that you and
- 1:54Speaker 2: trust the goal of reaching the planet for you to us. Father,
- 2:00Speaker 2: Please empower us today, help us to experience your love
- 2:05Speaker 2: to the degree that we will reach as many people
- 2:08Speaker 2: around us as possible. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen
- 2:12Speaker 2: and Amen again go into all the world. Now I
- 2:16Speaker 2: am going to read from Mark chapter sixteen. Something very
- 2:21Speaker 2: interesting to me. It has some interesting things that I
- 2:23Speaker 2: never noticed in the other Gospels. And I said, never noticed.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I may need to go back and look. But the
- 2:30Speaker 2: Bible reads here beginning at verse fourteen. Then he appeared
- 2:35Speaker 2: to the eleven themselves while they were eating. Now this
- 2:39Speaker 2: is a detail, And I always say that when you
- 2:43Speaker 2: see a detail in the scriptures, whatever the detail is,
- 2:48Speaker 2: you should pay attention to it, because sometimes it's a
- 2:51Speaker 2: teaching tool. It's something that we can learn about ourselves,
- 2:54Speaker 2: something we can learn about God. And so I'm seeing eleven,
- 2:58Speaker 2: and I'm like, Lord, what happened to them? Twelve? What
- 3:02Speaker 2: happened to the twelve? And of course all of his
- 3:05Speaker 2: disciples when Jesus was about to be crucified, they, as
- 3:08Speaker 2: the Bible says, forsook him and fled. But one of them,
- 3:13Speaker 2: the same one who Jesus said earlier, well one of
- 3:17Speaker 2: you has a devil. Well, he never repented, and then
- 3:21Speaker 2: he he he what do they say on the internet?
- 3:26Speaker 2: Now he unalived himself because for some reason, the algorithm
- 3:31Speaker 2: messes up the program. If you say it in real words,
- 3:34Speaker 2: he unlived himself. Judas is no longer with us because
- 3:40Speaker 2: he turned his back on God, and in a hopeless,
- 3:43Speaker 2: weakened state, he decided that he was not going to
- 3:48Speaker 2: be here anymore. And so now there are only eleven.
- 3:51Speaker 2: There are only eleven, Thank God, there are eleven. But
- 3:54Speaker 2: but what happened to the twelve? And the Bible continues,
- 3:58Speaker 2: and he rebuked the for their unbelief and hardness of heart.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So Jesus is still now. He is still at the moment,
- 4:07Speaker 2: in the moments before he goes back to heaven. And
- 4:11Speaker 2: I'm exaggerating, he has some time left here, but he's
- 4:15Speaker 2: still saying to his disciples, like, listen, there is so
- 4:18Speaker 2: much more that I can do through you. There was
- 4:21Speaker 2: so much more I can do if you will just
- 4:23Speaker 2: have faith and believe what I said to you. The
- 4:27Speaker 2: prophecies said that Jesus would come back, Messiah would come back.
- 4:32Speaker 2: The prophecy Jesus himself said, in real words, what would
- 4:36Speaker 2: exactly happen? And these people couldn't believe. God's people couldn't
- 4:42Speaker 2: believe that he did exactly what he said he was
- 4:45Speaker 2: going to do. And it wasn't even like a long
- 4:47Speaker 2: term prophecy, you know what I mean. Like, it wasn't
- 4:50Speaker 2: a seventy weeks of years prophecy. It wasn't the twenty
- 4:53Speaker 2: three hundred days prophecy. It wasn't seventy years of captivity
- 4:58Speaker 2: told to Jeremiah and Daniel being distraught, wondering like, Okay,
- 5:02Speaker 2: I see the seventy years coming up, but something's weird here.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Nothing is simple. On the third day, I'm going to
- 5:09Speaker 2: take my life back up. Because they had not believed
- 5:12Speaker 2: those who had seen him after he had risen. So
- 5:15Speaker 2: he rebukes them verse fifteen, and he said, unto them,
- 5:18Speaker 2: now you go into all the world and preach the
- 5:20Speaker 2: Gospel to every creature. Now that you know I'm here,
- 5:23Speaker 2: Now that you know that my word is my bond,
- 5:26Speaker 2: Now that you know that I have all power in
- 5:29Speaker 2: my hands, Now that you know that the grave cannot
- 5:32Speaker 2: keep me, that hell, grave and death are under my feet.
- 5:37Speaker 2: When I say I am empowering you, you can be
- 5:40Speaker 2: sure that I will be with you, like I said.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So he said, unto them, go ye into all the
- 5:46Speaker 2: world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Don't leave
- 5:49Speaker 2: anybody out. Don't discount anyone. Don't discount the gunman that
- 5:54Speaker 2: lives on your corner. Don't discount the woman who does
- 5:58Speaker 2: some things that you don't really eat and want to mention.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Don't discount the child or the youth that seems to
- 6:04Speaker 2: have gone so far astray that you can't reach him
- 6:08Speaker 2: or her. Do not withhold this truth from anyone. Do
- 6:12Speaker 2: not withhold this power that I have given you, that
- 6:15Speaker 2: you have seen in living color, Do not withhold it
- 6:18Speaker 2: from anybody. Preach this to every creature verse sixteen. The
- 6:23Speaker 2: one who believes and is baptized will be saved. But
- 6:29Speaker 2: the one who does not believe will be condemned. Remember
- 6:32Speaker 2: he rebuked them for their unbelief for him coming out
- 6:37Speaker 2: of the grave like he said he would, and they
- 6:39Speaker 2: didn't believe. So if you continue in that kind of
- 6:42Speaker 2: a state or worse, yeah, condemnation for those kinds of people.
- 6:47Speaker 2: But he's saying, if you are willing to go under
- 6:51Speaker 2: the water symbolizing symbolizing that you are giving your life
- 6:56Speaker 2: to God, symbolizing that you're dying to sin, and come
- 7:00Speaker 2: back up out of the water in this baptism, just
- 7:03Speaker 2: like Jesus did, symbolizing the newness of life, you will
- 7:07Speaker 2: be saved. Verse seventeen. These signs will accompany those who
- 7:10Speaker 2: believe in my name. They will drive out devils, they
- 7:14Speaker 2: will speak in new tongues, they will pick up snakes
- 7:17Speaker 2: in their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison,
- 7:21Speaker 2: it will not harm them. Now, this is not an
- 7:23Speaker 2: invitation to go mess around with snakes. It's just like
- 7:27Speaker 2: in the Book of Acts, the Book of Acts where
- 7:30Speaker 2: we see in chapter twenty eight where it happened that
- 7:34Speaker 2: Paul got caught while he was bundling sticks and laying
- 7:38Speaker 2: them on a fire and a snake got them, and
- 7:41Speaker 2: the snake had held on to him, and the people like, okay,
- 7:44Speaker 2: he's dead now. But then of course he didn't die
- 7:47Speaker 2: because God chose to protect him in that instance. And
- 7:50Speaker 2: then of course they're wondering, like is he a god?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Like who is this dude that can be bitten by
- 7:55Speaker 2: a snake and nothing happened to him, And so God
- 7:58Speaker 2: is saying that there will be instance in where things
- 8:01Speaker 2: that would normally harm us won't because God will protect us. Now,
- 8:07Speaker 2: there are times when he won't choose to protect us
- 8:10Speaker 2: on earth, but he said he would. And so we
- 8:14Speaker 2: saw an example of that again in Acts, chapter twenty eight.
- 8:17Speaker 2: And then it says here it will not harm them.
- 8:20Speaker 2: They will lay their hands on the sick and they
- 8:23Speaker 2: will get well. And Jesus said he had spoken unto
- 8:27Speaker 2: them that he was after the Lord Jesus had spoken
- 8:32Speaker 2: to them, he was taken up into heaven and he
- 8:35Speaker 2: sat at the right hand of God. He went back
- 8:39Speaker 2: to heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Did you get that detail. After he had spoken to them,
- 8:45Speaker 2: he went to the position of authority. After he had
- 8:51Speaker 2: spoken to them, he went to the place and assumed
- 8:55Speaker 2: a position so that he could actually do what he
- 8:59Speaker 2: said he would do. He will protect you. Now he's
- 9:02Speaker 2: demonstrating that he will be able to do it. He
- 9:05Speaker 2: will give you the kind of faith that you need
- 9:07Speaker 2: to believe that he has power to deliver you from
- 9:11Speaker 2: your sins. Now he is visually physically demonstrating that authority.
- 9:17Speaker 2: He's at the right hand of God. Yes, and so
- 9:21Speaker 2: the Bible continues. Then they went out and preached everywhere,
- 9:25Speaker 2: while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message
- 9:29Speaker 2: by accompanying signs. Go into all the world and know
- 9:34Speaker 2: that when you go there, Jesus has the power the
- 9:37Speaker 2: authority to do exactly what he said that he would do.
- 9:40Speaker 2: He will be with you always, even until the end
- 9:43Speaker 2: of the world. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Friends.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
- 9:50Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
- 9:53Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah.
