09 02 2024 Not One Stone on Another · 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 Monday, September two,
• 0:36
  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
• 0:43
  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 with Lesson number ten through the Book of Mark,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and our caption for today is not one stone on another,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: not one stone on another. Before we get into that,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Please join our online community. I want you to pick
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: up the Your Daily Portion book and let us know
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: where you are in the world. At your Daily Portion
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: dot com. This is one of the ways that we
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, Thank
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you for this day and for getting us thus far
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: into our work week already. Thank you for new beginnings.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us a perspective, your perspective, so
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that we can be about your business and hasten the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: coming of Jesus Christ. I pray that you will fill
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: us with your spirit and Jesus name, I pray Amen
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and amen again, not one stone on another. Now this
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is going to have, of course historical relevance, because of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: course it was the people of God in Jesus's day
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that he was speaking to, and they were getting close
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to something that they couldn't be prepared for except that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: they were full of the Holy Spirit. You see, he
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: knew that in thirty some years, and I know it
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: seemed like some time it would be far off, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: really sometimes these date these days and weeks and months
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: run off quickly. But he knew that in thirty some
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: years a crisis would hit his people that they could
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: only prepare for if they were full of the Holy Ghost.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And he was preparing them now, okay, and so not
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: one stone on another. Let me ask you a question.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It's a series of questions really, and it's something with
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: which we all need to contend. Where is your ultimate trust?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Where is your ultimate trust? Is it in religious traditions
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: or relics? And I think during the COVID nineteen pandemic
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we all had to really think that through every single
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: place in the world, All of God's people around the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: world had to think through where is our ultimate trust?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Is it the way that we have done things for generations?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: What is our trust really centered in religious institutions, relics, buildings,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: our styles of whatever? Is it in relationships? Is it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: knowing the signs and the seasons? You know, sometimes when
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we do our seminars and our preaching series, we are
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: so confident in the way that we present the truth
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: concerning the Last days and things that lead up to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the Last days and the different prophecies. Is our trust
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in that or is it in the Holy Spirit? Do
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we find our hope in our trust in God? And
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: then do we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I think the Bible says it's not by might, it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: not by power. It is it's by the Holy Spirit,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the power of the Holy Ghost. And so we read
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: now with that in our minds. Oh, actually, let me read.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Let me read a quote, and then we will read
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: from Mark chapter thirteen. The quote is coming in from
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the book The Desire of Ages, page six hundred and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, and it reads as Christ's attention was attracted
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to the magnificence of the temple. Remember this is the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: temple that took forty six years to build. They were
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: not playing when they built this temple. So yes, Christ's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: attention was attracted to the magnificence of the temple. What
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: must have been the unuttered thoughts of that rejected one,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: meaning Jesus. The view before him was indeed beautiful, But
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he said, with sadness, I see it. All the buildings
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: are indeed wonderful. You point to these walls as apparently indestructible.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But listen to my words. The day will come when
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there shall not be left one stone upon another, what
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that shall not be thrown down. Now this is amazing
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to the people of God, because sometimes their trust was misaligned.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: They trusted in what they could see, They trusted in
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: their ingenuity, They trusted in the perspective that they had
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: about God's thoughts rather than God just telling them his
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: thoughts about a thing, and then they trust God. You see,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so we don't want to get caught up in the well.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: This is the way that we've always done it syndrome.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And so from Mark chapter thirteen, beginning at verse one,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads, and as he went out of the temple,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: one of the disciples set unto him, Master, see what
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: manner of stones and what buildings are here? Disciples like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: look at this, this is amazing verse two. And Jesus, answering,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: said unto him, seest thou these great buildings, there shall
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: not be left one stone upon the other that shall
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: not be thrown down? What verse three? And he, as
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: he sat down in the mount of Olives over against
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: him privately, tell us when shall these things be? And
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: what shall be the sign when all these things shall
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: be fulfilled? And in fact, it says in the Book
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of Matthew and shall be the signs of the end
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of the world. Because it's like, if you're saying that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: something's going to happen to that right there, then it
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: must be the end of the world, and so and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: so verse five. And Jesus, answering them, began to say,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: take heed, lest any man deceive you, or many shall
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: come in my name, saying I am Christ and shall
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: rumors of war, Bible says, be not troubled. This is
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: what Jesus said. You see, sometimes we in twenty twenty
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: four still trying to apply what Jesus said way back then,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: like way back then, before thirty one a D. Like
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: before thirty one a D. We're trying to apply it,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: apply it now. And so when we see certain countries
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and nations warring against one another, sometimes we're still trying
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to grasp at straws and apply things. And we do
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the exact opposite of what Jesus said right here. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: sometimes we apply it in the exact opposite way that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus told us to apply it. But here it goes.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And so when ye shall hear wars and rumors of wars,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: he said, be not troubled. So why do we make
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: all these posts troubling posts like we can't read? Like
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, don't be troubled, for such things must needs be.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And then we get it mixed up, because then we're like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: these are the last days, and it is we are
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: living in the last days. We are living in the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: last days. But not because not because of this, I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time. We are living in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: last days. Jesus will soon come. He will come in
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: our generation. This is the blessed hope. But the Bible
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: says here, but the end is not yet. This was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: thirty four eighty. He's telling them when they see these things,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the end is not yet. For the nation shall rise
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There shall be earthquakes
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in diverse places, and there shall be famines and troubles.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: These be the beginnings of sorrow. So how do we
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: mix up? When he said these are the beginnings of sorrows,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and we say these are the last of sorrows. This
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is what we say. We say, these are the last
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of sorrows. But take keat unto yourselves, for they shall
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: deliver you up to councils and in the synagogues. You
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: shall be beaten, and ye shall be brought before rulers
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and kings. For my sake, for a testimony against them.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So he's going to allow people to parade you around,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: just like they had those mock trials after mock trials,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: right before Jesus was crucified. Okay. And the Gospel must
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: first be published among all nations. See this is this
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: is the major sign of the coming of the Lord,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: when the Gospel is published among all nations. But when
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: they shall lead you and deliver you up. Take no
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: thought beforehand of what you shall speak. Neither do ye premeditate,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: but whatsoever shall be given to you in that hour
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: that speak, or it is not ye that speak, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost. I ask you again, where is your
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: trust in the signs and seasons or the Holy Ghost?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Peace? Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
