02 25 2025 The Origin of the Controversy in Heaven · 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.

  Speaker 2: Lesson study series, God's Love and Justice, and our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for today is the origin of the controversy in Heaven.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The origin of the controversy in Heaven. We'll get into
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but first I'd like to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: say welcome to you and ask you to please go
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our

  Speaker 2: give us the fullness of your holy spirit. Please help

  Speaker 2: us to serve you with everything that we have, everything
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that we are in Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a man again. The origin of the controversy in heaven.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I know historically we would have taught this like the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: origin of evil, just full stop, like evil, where did
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it come from in the first place? And I wish
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we had done this yesterday and then done what we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: did yesterday today. But I digress. And so now we
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: see the war that has happened in the garden of Eden.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We did not really touch this yesterday as much as
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we could. We should have, but we only have a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: few minutes, right, But we know now why this was
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: so critical. When Eve was having the encounter with the serpent,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: who really is the devil at the tree? And then
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of course Adam he jumps into Sin. Eve she's deceived
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and falls into Sin. Adam with everything fully in his mind,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he understands exactly what's going on, and he jumps into Sin. Anyway,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: both of them are naked and ashamed, hiding in the bushes,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and they are disconnected from God. But the reason why
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this evil existed in the first place starts mysteriously in heaven.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I know, there's an eerie pause here. All of this
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: started in heaven. What mm hmm. And so now we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go into the Bible book of Ezekiel Ezekiel, chapter twenty eight,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and we will read beginning at verse twelve Ezekiel, chapter
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: twenty eight, and we will read beginning at verse twelve,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and the Bible reads, Son of Man take up a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: lamentation upon the King of Tyrs, and say unto him
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: thus that the Lord God thou sealest up the sum
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: full of wisdom and perfect and beauty. And now, in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the same way that the serpent is really just a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: way of looking at the devil, we see another way
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of looking at the devil through the King of Tyros. Okay,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And now we go to verse thirteen. Thou hast been
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in the Eden of the Eden, the garden of God.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Every precious stone was thy covering. And so we know
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: now that before the devil was the devil, and before
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: he was in the garden of Eden, every precious stone
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: was his covering. He was colorful, full of light, representing
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the character of God. The rainbow, the prism, the colors
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in all of these precious stones represents the beautiful character
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, the character of God our Father. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: when Lucifer was covered in light, and his light is
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: reflective of the light of God, it manifests in all
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: of these beautiful colors. I said, a lot, my goodness,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that's a lot in just a few words, okay. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: so every precious stone was thy covering. The sardist, the topaz,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, the jasper. Sapphire, that's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: my favorite, by the way. I love sapphire. That blue color. That,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: by the way, is the color what the ten Commandments
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: were on. And that is also what the throne was sapphire.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The throne of God is sapphire. I wish I had
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the time. The sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle. The
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: gold and workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that heavenly being Lucifer could sing too much to say
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and not even close to enough time Verse fourteen. Thou
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: art the anointed cherub that coverth That means he was
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as close to God as you could be and not
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: be God too right, the devil used to be Lucifer,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a covering cherub. If you see those images of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: arc of the Covenant and you have two angels, one
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on either side, yeah, he would have been one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the ones on one of the two sides. And I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: have set these souls. So God honored him, created him,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and made him that way. Thou wast upon the holy
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: mountain of God. Thou hast walked up and down in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: See the enemy when he was Lucifer was perfect. You
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: walked up and down. You were perfect in the ways
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: from the day that thou wast created till iniquity was
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: found in thee. Wait a minute, man, where did that
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: come from? And I just want to caution all of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the Bible teachers caution everybody listening or watching not to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: try to generate a reason or a cause, because the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: moment you generate the reason or the cause for the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: original evil that was found in Lucifer, that iniquity that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: was found in him, you now create an excuse. It
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is not like with Adam and Eve, where there was
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: evil already in the universe, and the devil brings his
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: fight down to earth, and in that fight they lost
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: for that moment. But there was evil already. Well, there
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: was no evil anywhere in the universe. So how this happened? Mmm.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: If you start to give a reason, then you also
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: give an excuse, okay. And so the Bible says that
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: iniquity was found in him by the multitude of thy merchandise.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They have filled the midst of thee with violence, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: thou hast sin. Therefore I will cast thee as a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: profane thing out of the mountain of God. We see
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in the Book of Revelation, chapter twelve that there was
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: war in heaven. Mike k El and his angels fought
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: in the dragon fought, and there was no place found
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: for him, meaning the devil was kicked out of heaven
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: because he would not repent. The Bible says that you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: were cast as a profane thing out of the mount
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of God, and I will destroy thee. And so when
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you see that war in your own life, when every
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: day in your business, in your relationships, huh, in your
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: personal development, in your spiritual life, you're seeing this war
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: waged in your health, in your interactions with people. When
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you see this war being waged, I need you to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: remember that at the appropriate time, God is going to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: destroy the enemy. Please do not be attached to him.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: When God destroys the enemy. Yield yourself today, like on
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this day, the twenty fifth day of February in twenty
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: twenty five. It is our privilege and our opportunity to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: allow God to win that war, that controversy, that battle,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that fight that the devil is constantly having in our minds,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in our lives, wreaking havoc on some people. The Bible
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: says that today we can actually heald our will to God.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: So when Jesus does destroy the devil, we don't have
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to be with him. It wouldn't make sense. It wouldn't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: make sense. The Bible continues, thine heart was lifted up
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Verse seventeen because of thy bets. Sometimes we believe the hype, y'all.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we believe the filters that we put up on
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: TikTok and other social media platforms. On YouTube, we believe
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the filters and start to big up our own chest
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: because we have so many followers click, subscribe and share, follow,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: subscribe and share, and when those numbers begin to grow,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: sometimes we begin to get lifted up. But the Bible
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: says that that became corruption to him. To make a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: long story short, the Bible says that God has provided
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a way for us to be so close through Jesus Christ,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to God, just like Lucifer was, but even better. So
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: why not cherish that, yield your will to God and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: let him win that controversy in your life.
• 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,
