• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, July seven,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: study series on First and Second Corinthians, and our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for today is power to those who are being saved.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Power to those who are being saved. We'll get into
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment. Before we do, i'd like
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to say welcome to you and ask you to go
• 1:07

  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: We thank you for today, for the privilege you have
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: entrusted to us to open up your word. Please give
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: us power, real power today, wonder working power in our lives.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and amen again. Yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the news and some of your workplaces are full, i
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: should say, rife with people grasping for power, usurp authority
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and attempting to put themselves up where they are not
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: yet or not fully welcomed. And God is saying that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: there is power, but it's in a place that is unlikely,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it is unanticipated, in the mindsets of people who don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: know God. And I've been saying this for several days
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: because that is the focus of the lesson, that the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: cross of Jesus Christ just doesn't make sense to people
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: who don't love God yet. Okay, and so I'm not
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: going to read Uh one Corinthians when eighteen again. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: want you again to read it on your own time.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But the most important thing in my mind today is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: if you keep rejecting Jesus, there may be somebody who
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: has been invited here, but somehow God has drawn you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to this moment, and that's why you're listening or you're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: watching right now. But if you have been rejecting Jesus,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you are turning away from the entire only power that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: can save you. I know, I know, I know. The
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Cross of Christ is where peace was made for you,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Sin has carried for you, and salvation is offered to you. Now,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: let me say it in real terms. You are struggling
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: if this is you, and you have guilt feelings and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you're wondering why do you feel so guilty when before
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you just lived your life and now you're feeling the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: pressure of the things that you have done, and you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: try to wash your hands of certain relationships that you
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have had. You have tried with different programs to overcome
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: addictions to drug and draw drugs and alcohol, but you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: just seem not to be able to overcome it. You're
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: fearful of the future because you keep hearing preachers talk
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: about Jesus coming, but you don't know where you fit
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in that equation. This message is for you. If you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: have lost contact with your children because of your own doing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: When you should have loved them, you chose something else.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: This message is for you. You've been abusing God forbid,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: but maybe you're abusing your spouse even today, and God
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: is calling you and saying, listen, do not speak that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: way to him or her. Do not treat that person
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that way where finances are concerned. Do not touch them
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that way. Do not smack, beat, or kick them or
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: shove them in that way. God is speaking to you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Or if you just have pride, I don't mean just
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: as if it's a small thing, because that was the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: downfall of the number one angel, Lucifer, and he became
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the devil. But if pride is your thing, and you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: are starting to believe the filters from your social media platform,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: when you see your reflection from that camera, and you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: are starting to think of yourself more highly than you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: ought in terms of just the simplest, most shallow things,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: this message is for you that God gives you power,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: He gives you worth in the person and work of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. And so God is giving us this opportunity
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: now and so lesson Number one comes in from First Corinthians,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Chapter one and verse twenty. And having made peace through
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: things to himself. This means to restore to favor humanity
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: drifted from God because of Adam's sin. And what God
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: is doing in this reconciliation plan is to restore us
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to favor, to bring back into harmony where we're no
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: longer pulling away from God and separating from God, but
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we are harmony us with God. No more dissonance, no
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: more friction. His will not mine kind of style. And
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: so Jesus did not die just to make a point, huh.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: He died to make peace between sinners and God. This
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: cross opened the way back into relationship in the family
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of God with the Father. So come to God today.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: This is a message for all of us. If we
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: are already in his family, then that means to remain
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: with him. But if you, as I was speaking to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: some who may not be connected to God in the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: way that you know you should be now because you're
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: still listening right now, then please today, come today through
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Christ and thank Him for making peace for you by
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his blood. Our second lesson comes in from First Peter,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: chapter two and verse twenty four. The Bible reads who
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: his own self Jesus. Speaking of Jesus, he himself he
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: bare our sins in his own body on the cross,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that we being dead to sin, so we don't have
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to continue and sin. We can walk away from them.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: We don't have to be impacted by our past in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that way anymore should live unto righteousness by whose stripes
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he were healed. Jesus actually took physical punishment as he
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: was giving his life for us, physical stripes. He was whipped,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: He had his beard pulled out of his face, stabbed
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in the side, beaten about the head with a with
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a with a with a a staff. And he did
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it all for you. And that wasn't even the giving
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: his life as the innocent victim on our behalf. By
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: all that he did, we can now be healed. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: want to go back. It says here in the text
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that we will cease from sinning and on purpose and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: live for righteousness. When I got baptized in nineteen ninety six,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I had coworkers, and they're well really one co worker
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: or two and their friends from the community around where
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we worked who were actually betting. They were betting, they
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: were saying, this, dude is not going to keep that shenanigans.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: He's not going to keep up that masquerade. He's talking
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: about being a Christian. And they were waiting for me
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to give up because they knew me. They knew the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: lifestyle that I had, and they knew the kinds of
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: things that I did on a day to day basis
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: because I did it a lot of it with them,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: things that are shameful not to be mentioned, you know
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like that life without Christ is hard,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, and they were betting and saying, Nope,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it's not. It's not going to last, because we know
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: that guy. But what they didn't know was the power
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of God. You understand where I'm going with this. They
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: knew the man, meaning me, but they did not know
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the power of God. They didn't know that Jesus is
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: able to transform our hearts and lives. They didn't know
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that He was able to take those old paradigms that
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I had embraced and I had practiced according to and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: transformed my mindset, that all I would be interested in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was to be transformed by God. They knew the man,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: but they didn't know Jesus Christ and so God has
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: given us power so that we can be saved. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: all the rest of that power can lay down because
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Jesus paid it all. Make it a great day, 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.
