06 20 2026 Into Eternity · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 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 Sabbath, June twenty,

  Speaker 2: study series about growing in a relationship with God, and

  Speaker 2: we get into that, I'd like to say welcome to

• 1:35
  Speaker 2: We thank you for this Sabbath morning. Thank you for
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the privilege you've given us to awaken one more day. Father,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: will you please help us to have the eternal mindset
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again into eternity. Okay,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: so let's begin with our memory text. How many people
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: are actually memorizing these texts. That's something that you can
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: easily kind of gloss over. But God is giving us
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a way to commit things to memory from his word. Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: First John, chapter three and verse two. The Bible reads, Beloved,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Now are we the children of God? It's one of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: my favorite places in the scriptures. And I know I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: say that a lot, but I really do love the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: word of God. Now are we the children of God?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: but we know that when he is revealed, we shall
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to the day that you can
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: see God face to face, face to face. Oh, those
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: so many hymns on that concept, the principle, the blessing
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of being face to face, face to face with Christ,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: my savior. Yeah, face to face, what will it be?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So we're looking forward to the day, but we know
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that right now we need to be perfected. Though, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: need to continue to bake in the oven as we
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: are perfected, so that when we do come out of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the oven, sometimes of trials, sometimes of difficulty, we will
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: come out perfect or complete, and then we will be
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: able to experience God face to face. But right now
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we are the children of God. Yeah, Moses, the Bible
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: says that when he asks God to reveal himself, Father,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: if you're not going to go up with us, then
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: please don't send us. And by the way, if I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have found favor with you or found favor in your sight,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: well you show me your glory. And the Bible says
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that God said there shall no one see me. That
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: means in his full manifestation, there shall no man see
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: me and live. So God covered his eyes. He God
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: turned his own back. He put Moses into the cleft
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of a rock, and then he caused his Laurie to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: pass before him. And even in that experience, Moses is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: his visage. His countenance was so bright and gleaming that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the people could not stand it. It was amazing to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: see what God did in the life of Moses by
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: just allowing Moses, and I don't say just to minimize it,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: but simply allowing Moses to be in a condescended version
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of God's presence. And Moses was the child of God.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He was a child of God. Now are we the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: children of God.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But but there's another level Moses, and it has not
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: yet appeared what we shall be. But we know that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we shall see him as he is in Isaiah chapter
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter fifty six. I believe it is verses one
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: through seven. We see that covenant keepers and those who
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: keep the self brabbath of the Lord, these individuals will
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: receive a name that is better than of sons and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of daughters. It is a name that will remain forever.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So we're looking forward to that next level, that better
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that into eternity space, where we no longer have these
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: broken mortal bodies, but Jesus will transform us in a moment,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: in a twinkling of an eye, so that we one
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: day can actually stand in the presence of God like
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Adam and Eve did in the very beginning. And so
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we're looking forward to that day. But that privilege is
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: given only to individuals who are children of God. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: then we get the transformation, that next level, that final stage,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: at the second coming of Jesus Christ. So much in
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: one passage, but no time, no time. So our first
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: lesson in that regard is that we are going to being.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be similar in nature again. Yeah, that's what
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the word actually means, like huh ha ha heimoios. We're
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: going to be similar in nature. Remember, God created them
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in His image, in the likeness of God, created he
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: him male and female created He them. We're going back
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to that state, and so your future is certain in Christ.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Transformation is promised if we're submitting our will to God,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: seeing him will complete what He has started in you.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Remember He who began a good work in you will
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: also complete it until that day. So fix your focus,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters this Sabbath morning, on who you are
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: becoming in Jesus Christ, not just what you are facing today.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I want you to think forward. I know I'm speaking quickly,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to slow it down here. I want
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you to think more about or life us, about what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you are facing, and more about being face to face
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: with God. Think less about what you're facing in this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: present world, which is not worthy to be compared with
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: eternity with God, and more on face to face with Christ,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: our Savior. Lesson Number two comes in from first Thessalonian
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: chapter four and verse seventeen, where the Bible reads, then
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: together with them in the air or in the clouds,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to meet the Lord in the air. This is at
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the second coming of Jesus Christ. In Revelation chapter twenty
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: one and verse four, the Bible reads that after the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: thousand years are finished, while we've been in heaven with
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: God for a thousand years, and so much good stuff
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: goes on down there, and now we are about to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: inherit the earth made new. Finally, the new Jurisalem Lusalem
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: is going to come down from God out of heaven,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Bible says, finally, and God shall wipe away all tears
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: from their eyes. I want you to get that sequence.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: This happens after the thousand years are finished, and there
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: shall be no more death because God is going to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: destroy death and throw death into the lake of fire.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: M there will be no sorrow, no crying. Neither shall
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: there be any more pain. God is going to wipe
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: away completely and erase all of the former things that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: we are dealing with today. Yes, and so God's promise
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: includes a complete end to suffering. The future that He
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is preparing is whole. It is a complete restoration, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: it is final. We will not go through this crazy
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: race again. We're not going through this again. Affliction shall
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: not rise a second time, will not mysteriously rear its
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: ugly head again. The whole Lucifer incident is done. It's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in the past. No more eternal beings or conditionally at
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: that time it was will mysteriously become sinners again like
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that movie is over. So what is the practice?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Hold on through your present challenges with confidence that God
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: will fully restore all things. Yeah, I'm looking forward to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: entering eternity with God. But right now we're gonna bide
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: our time. We're gonna wait and do what God says
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: until that day, peace, happy.
• 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,
