12 02 2024 I Will Certainly Come Again · 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,

  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

  Speaker 2: where we give you God's Word every single day, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series themes in the Gospel of John, and our
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: caption for today, one of my favorites is I will
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: certainly come again. I will search lee come again. We'll
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: like to say thank you and welcome to everyone joining us,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: especially those joining us for the very first time. I'm
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: asking you to please go over to your Daily Portion
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: dot com. Please join our online community. I want you
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to click that number seven. I have been saying this

  Speaker 2: of you to click that number seven and join that subscription.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And also please let us know where you are in
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the world at your daily portion dot com. This is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that we continue to build faith
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Bather in Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: us this new day and for giving us the privilege
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of waiting, waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: pray that you will give us patience, that you will
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: give us determination, that you will give us a heightened
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: anticipation in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to gather my thoughts because Jesus's promised
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that he will come again reverberates in my mind all
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the way down here. In twenty twenty four. You see,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: when Jesus was on planet Earth, his disciples were distraught.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: When we consider in John chapter fourteen, they were distraught
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: because he was revealing more and more that he was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: going to do exactly what he promised to do. The
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Bible says that he came to save his people from
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: their sins, and the only way for that to happen
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: is that he would give himself a ransom for many,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: like he would be cut off, like Daniel chapter nine says,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at a certain time in this prophecy, in Daniel nine,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the seventy Weeks of Years prophecy, he would be cut off,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: not for himself but for the people. Like he is
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: going to lay down his life and he is going
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to also take it back up again so that we
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: can be saved. Okay. And so now that his disciples
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: are finally getting the memo that he is not going
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to overthrow Rome, he is not going to be the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: next king down on planet Earth. In fact, Jesus said
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to his detractors, he said, if if this kingdom, if
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, Ah,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: my kingdom is not of this world. Yeah. And so
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: now they're finally getting the memo, and they're like, oh,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: my word, like Jesus is actually going to die, He's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: going to give him what's going to happen to us?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine now the distress in their minds? And
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: so Jesus understanding the mindset of human beings who are
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: finally managing there. Well, they're not managing they're really they
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: weren't managing their expectations. But is starting to click. Now,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, the thing that we had hoped for
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is not going to happen, and they're not able yet
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to cross that barrier. That says, well, what Jesus promised
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: is better than what you had hoped for by a millionfold,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: infinitely better than what you had desired. Is what Jesus
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is preparing for you. So I'm thinking this is an
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: incredible welcome promised when God has not left us down
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: here to suffer. God has not left us down here
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to suffer. And he's asking them, well, it's really he's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: imploring them not to be troubled. He's telling them to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: choose not to be troubled. Somebody at five minutes into
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: our broadcast this morning needs to hear the same message.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I need you to choose not to be troubled. When
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you're not able to have that baby, dear brother and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: sister you want to have so badly, Ah, leave it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: in God. God's hands. Life is in God's hands. You
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: want to get pregnant, you want your children to see
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the blessing of the love in your family, but you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: don't have children yet. Don't let your heart be troubled.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I think Abraham and Sarah would have known what that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was like. Hannah would have known what that is like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and others. Don't let your heart be troubled like when
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the month is longer than your money and the bill
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: collectors are knocking on your door. Don't let your heart
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: be troubled like. He is going to come through when
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you have faith in him. Don't let your heart be
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: troubled when your relationship seem to be falling apart. Let
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: not your heart be troubled as you are here saying God,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: why is there so much suffering down here? Look at
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: all of the injustice. God, are you watching? Don't let
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: your heart be troubled. Why not? Because I certainly will
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: come again. But in the meantime, He's going to come
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: through for you. If you have faith in Him and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you trust in the process, he will come through for you. Now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: let me go ahead and read from John chapter fourteen,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and hear exactly what Jesus said, beginning at verse one,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God. See,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this is why we don't have to let our hearts
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be troubled, because we believe in God. Believe also in me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: In my father's house are many mansions. So he is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: taking the mindset of the broken believer whose trust was
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: in the wrong thing. He's taking their mindset to the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: place where the power is. In his father's house are
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: many mansions. If it were not so, I would have
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: told you I go to prepare a place for you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And if I go and prepare a place for you,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I will come again, not might. I will come again,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: not might, and receive you unto myself that where I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: am there ye may be also I'm preparing a place
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: for you. There are some of you who are lonely.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: You thought you had friends that really turned out to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: be enemies. You have judases in your life. You have
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: been lonely all of your life because you're an introvert
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and you didn't know how per se to relate to people,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and nobody really sought you out to say, you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I see you, I value you. I see that you're
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: such a very helpful person, and you're very kind, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you love to support people. But your voice is not heard.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But I still see you. There are people who did
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: not accept you like you are, and they wanted to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: change you in order for you to fit into their
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: category of the kind of people they want to hang around.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And Jesus is saying, well, there's plenty good room in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the kingdom for you. There are mansions up there that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I am building and preparing for you. There are closets
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for your clothes.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: There is land that has your name on it that
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you will develop as you see fit. And your mind
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: will not be limited, so you'll be able to do
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to do up there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: M m.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And then he's going to give us the New Earth.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But he said, in the meantime, don't let your heart
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: be troubled. Even though you live in hudhouses now or
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in some kind of projects or in a shelter. Right now,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you are in prison, unfortunately incarcerated, you're behind bars. Ah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: don't let your heart be troubled, because Jesus is preparing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a place for you. See, in the same way that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Jesus kept his promise prophetically that he would come the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: first time, that in the fullness of time, God sent
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: his son made of a woman made under the law,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: so that he could relieve the suffering and deliver those
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: who are bound by the outcomes of breaking the law,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: so that we can become adopted children into the family
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of God, in the same way that he did that,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: in the same way that he lived on planet Earth
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: for three and thirty three and one half years, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: prophetically we could see the three and a half that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: public ministry, and the same way that that is our reality,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: in the same way that the disciples could visibly visually
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: see Jesus going up into heaven. And the Angel said,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: why stanjie gazing there up into the sky, This Saint Jesus,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: who is going up, will in like manner come back
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: as ye have seen him go. Don't let your heart
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: be troubled. Why not, because I'm coming back for you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And in the meantime I will be with you, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I will give you the power of the Holy Ghost
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to cope with whatever is going on while you ate. 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,
