Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:07Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God, to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges? On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

- 2:16Speaker 2: right in. Father, we thank you for not stopping speaking
- 2:21Speaker 2: to us There are so many people who get tight
- 2:24Speaker 2: and upset and angry with each other and stop talking. God,
- 2:28Speaker 2: thank you for not stop talking. Thank you. In Jesus name,
- 2:32Speaker 2: I pray.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Amen.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And amen again. God spokes people. So for me, the
- 2:39Speaker 2: most important thing which kind of leaked out into my
- 2:42Speaker 2: prayer is that God never stopped talking to or speaking
- 2:46Speaker 2: to fallen humanity. Yes, Adam and Eve, they're hiding in
- 2:50Speaker 2: the bushes. They're naked, afraid, ashamed, and they hid themselves. Yes,
- 2:54Speaker 2: they did the wrong thing. Yes, he had to banish
- 2:57Speaker 2: them from Eden because they needed to feel the consequences,
- 3:01Speaker 2: but he separated them from the tree of life because
- 3:05Speaker 2: he was protecting them and those who would come through them.
- 3:09Speaker 2: But he had never stopped speaking to them. Huh? He's
- 3:13Speaker 2: revealing himself through creation. I want you to hear these things,
- 3:17Speaker 2: these layers. God is revealing himself through creation, through his prophets,
- 3:22Speaker 2: through his written word.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Huh?
- 3:24Speaker 2: Through the Holy Ghost, yes. And his clearest and most
- 3:28Speaker 2: effective word is Jesus Christ himself, who came to seek
- 3:33Speaker 2: and to save the lost. I think I was talking
- 3:35Speaker 2: about that yesterday. Who shows us exactly what the Father
- 3:40Speaker 2: is like. And so let's begin in Romans chapter 1
- 3:44Speaker 2: and verse 20 for one of the ways that God
- 3:47Speaker 2: is revealing himself. I've already given you a list, but
- 3:50Speaker 2: I want you now to see it with your own
- 3:52Speaker 2: eyes if you've not already. And so the Bible reads,
- 3:57Speaker 2: For the invisible things of him.
- 4:00Speaker 2: From the creation of the world are clearly seen. So
- 4:04Speaker 2: God is saying, I'm going to manifest aspects of who
- 4:08Speaker 2: I am, my character, my works. I am going to
- 4:13Speaker 2: show you aspects of the mysteries that are who I am.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I'm going to reveal some of that, and let's see how.
- 4:21Speaker 2: How is he saying he's going to do it? They're
- 4:24Speaker 2: clearly seen, the one who created the world, being understood
- 4:29Speaker 2: by the things that are made. So creation itself is
- 4:32Speaker 2: a manifestation of some of the mysteries of God, like
- 4:35Speaker 2: the one who said, let there be light, and there
- 4:38Speaker 2: was light before he'd even gotten to the fourth day
- 4:42Speaker 2: where he created sun, the moon, and stars. Before he
- 4:47Speaker 2: created those governors of the day and of the night,
- 4:50Speaker 2: there was light, and that mystery is God revealing himself.
- 4:55Speaker 2: The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the light. The
- 4:58Speaker 2: Bible says that in the end, when we get into, finally,
- 5:01Speaker 2: we get into that city whose builder and maker is God,
- 5:06Speaker 2: that there is no light, no need of the sun,
- 5:09Speaker 2: because Jesus Christ is the light thereof. Jesus is described
- 5:14Speaker 2: in Malachi as the S-U-N, the son of righteousness. So
- 5:19Speaker 2: now he's manifesting light thereof. on the first day, and
- 5:24Speaker 2: I'm amazed by this, and there is so much more.
- 5:28Speaker 2: He manifests His love and tender care, His preparation, putting
- 5:33Speaker 2: people into a symbiotic relationship so that whatever they needed,
- 5:39Speaker 2: the whole environment was already there to support it. So,
- 5:44Speaker 2: God is manifesting His love, His law, the The psalmist
- 5:50Speaker 2: said after he talked about all of what God revealed
- 5:54Speaker 2: through his handiworks, he said, the law of the Lord
- 5:56Speaker 2: is perfect, converting the soul. The testimonies of the Lord
- 6:00Speaker 2: are sure and giving wisdom to the simple. You understand?
- 6:03Speaker 2: And so I'm grateful that God has begun to show
- 6:08Speaker 2: us his eternal power and his nature. I'm saying the
- 6:12Speaker 2: nature of God through the nature of creation. And so
- 6:17Speaker 2: now we are able to perceive clearly, based on what
- 6:20Speaker 2: Paul is telling us, to see distinctly and to discern
- 6:24Speaker 2: aspects of God through what he has revealed. And so
- 6:28Speaker 2: creation itself speaks of God's eternal power and divine nature
- 6:34Speaker 2: to anyone who will look. The world he made still
- 6:40Speaker 2: points beyond itself to the maker who loves us. And
- 6:46Speaker 2: so what God wants us to do today is to
- 6:48Speaker 2: step outside and let something in creation turn your thoughts
- 6:53Speaker 2: to God. Take a peek outside. I don't mind if
- 6:56Speaker 2: it's cold or hot. It doesn't matter. If it's raining
- 6:59Speaker 2: or it's clear or if it's snowing or whatever is happening,
- 7:04Speaker 2: just observe some things about what God is doing. Let
- 7:07Speaker 2: your thoughts be centered upon God who made it and
- 7:13Speaker 2: made you too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So now
- 7:17Speaker 2: we're going into the Bible book of 2 Timothy 3
- 7:21Speaker 2: and verse 16 for our second lesson. All Scripture... is
- 7:25Speaker 2: given by inspiration of God, the same way he breathed
- 7:29Speaker 2: into Adam's nostrils the breath of life and he became
- 7:33Speaker 2: a living soul. The Bible is saying, inspiration. I am
- 7:36Speaker 2: breathing the words for the people that are to convey
- 7:43Speaker 2: these words. So, all Scripture is given by God breathing
- 7:47Speaker 2: and is profitable for doctrine, that's Bible teaching, for reproof,
- 7:51Speaker 2: you already know what that is, for correction, for instruction
- 7:54Speaker 2: in righteousness. And so God breathed, he inspired the word
- 7:59Speaker 2: of God so that it would be a revelation of
- 8:02Speaker 2: who he is, how he loves, how to be saved
- 8:06Speaker 2: by God. In its words, you learn who you are,
- 8:11Speaker 2: where you came from, so those people who are evolutionists,
- 8:15Speaker 2: We have many people around the world who are evolutionists.
- 8:18Speaker 2: They have multiple ways of conveying their evolutionary theory, but
- 8:23Speaker 2: it is not true because God is the one who
- 8:27Speaker 2: created us. But as we get to see God, we
- 8:32Speaker 2: get to see who we are, where we come from,
- 8:36Speaker 2: and where we are going, and more importantly, to whom
- 8:41Speaker 2: we are accountable. So if we came here by a
- 8:45Speaker 2: big bang or some other sort of unintentional thing, energy, force, happenstance,
- 8:52Speaker 2: then we're not responsible, neither to God nor to people.
- 8:56Speaker 1: You understand?
- 8:57Speaker 2: That's not a safe place to live. Earth would not
- 9:00Speaker 2: be a safe place. if God had not created us.
- 9:03Speaker 2: And so I want you to please open the Bible today.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Open up your Bible today, your Bible app, your Bible,
- 9:08Speaker 2: expecting to encounter God, the one who breathed those scriptures,
- 9:13Speaker 2: and let his word shape one decision before you. Yeah,
- 9:19Speaker 2: let me read a quote really quickly. Do I have
- 9:20Speaker 2: enough time? Let me hurry up, hurry up. That I
- 9:22Speaker 2: may know him, page 261. In order to know God,
- 9:24Speaker 2: we must.
- 9:27Speaker 2: In order to know God, we must know Christ. This
- 9:30Speaker 2: is life eternal that they may know thee, the only
- 9:34Speaker 2: true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Christ
- 9:37Speaker 2: came to reveal God to the world as the God
- 9:40Speaker 2: of love, full of mercy, tenderness, and compassion.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Thanks for joining us, listening 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 L. David Harris. Make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day.
