  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
• 0:07
  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

• 0:32
  Speaker 1: David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Tuesday, the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: 27th day of October in 2026. Hello, my name is L.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: daily portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: lesson study series, The Gift of Prophecy, and our caption
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: for today is Oral Prophecy. Oral messages. Oral messages. as
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: every person hath received the gift of God, even so
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: minister the same one to another. God has equipped you
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: because he called you, and I can help you through
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this assessment to know some of the ways that God
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: has called you to come into the world to be
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of service. So please go ahead and invest some time there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And if you would please also contribute to your daily
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: portion ministries, because we are, in fact, a listener and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: viewer-supported ministry. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father, we thank you. Thank you for
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: speaking to us. Help us to listen, please. In Jesus'
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: name I pray. Amen and amen again. I love this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: because I can only imagine what the sound of the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: voice of God is. I've not heard him. I have
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: had impressions from him. And of course, those impressions come
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: with a certain, you know what I mean, like a
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: familiarity in terms of a tone or a voice. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I have not audibly heard the voice of God at
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: any point in my life. I've not yet had that privilege.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I said not yet. He may see fit to do that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But in any case, in any case, when God speaks,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: there is no miscommunication. And the oral messages of his
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: prophets are as inspired and reliable as the written ones. So, so, so,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: when Noah said something, Elijah said something under the unction
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Ghost, John the Baptist gave the messages
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: under the Holy Ghost, when Jesus himself taught chiefly by
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: spoken word, all of that meant something. And their authority
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: was no less because they did not write in books
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of the Bible. Okay, can we just say that very clearly?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: No less than because they did not. Noah didn't write.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Elijah didn't write. John the Baptist didn't write. Can I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: go with Huldah? She didn't write. Can I go with Anna?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: She didn't write. And I could go down through a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: long list. Nathan, he did not write in the scriptures,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: but God gave them this gift of hearing from God
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and speaking on his behalf. They had the responsibility. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the Bible does read here in 2 Peter chapter 1
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and verse 21. The Bible says in 2 Peter chapter
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: 1 and in verse 21, for the prophecy came not
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in old time by the will of man, but holy
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: men of God spake as they were moved by the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. They spake as they were moved by the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. In the same way that the scriptures were
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: not given by any private interpretation, they're not subject to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: private interpretation. The Bible also teaches us very clearly that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: we must know, really and truly, like we must know
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that when he was speaking through his people, he was
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in fact speaking through his people. I think you're getting somewhere.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I think you're getting somewhere now. And so and so
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that means to utter was literally making known by speech.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So the prophets spoke as they were carried along by
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, whether their words were written or heard.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: What comes from God carries his authority in every form.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I know Moses did write in the scriptures. We do
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: know that. He wrote a lot of scripture, including the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: book of Job. He didn't just write the Torah, the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: first five books of the Bible. He also wrote the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: book of Job, but he also marched in. Can I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: just say, he marched into the presence of Pharaoh, that king.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And he had to say, let my people go. He
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: was speaking on behalf of God himself. He was speaking
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: on behalf of God himself. Tell old Pharaoh, as the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: songwriter would have said, let my people go. And so
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that is the blessing. The Holy Spirit was the focus,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: not whether or not somebody actually, what I want to say,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: whether or not somebody believed that it was God. Of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: course it was. His messengers were with his message. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: receive a spoken word of truth from God today, from
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: God's messengers, valuing it as much as the written word. page. Okay,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we're going now into the Bible book of 2 Peter
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: chapter 2, 2 Peter chapter 2, and I will read
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in verse 15. I think it's verse 5, 5, verse 5,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: where the Bible reads, the Bible reads, and Noah, a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: preacher of righteousness. So, Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Now,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Can I say that again? Noah was a preacher of righteousness.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And so that means he heralded the truth of God's word.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He heralded the truth of God's word. Therefore, that means
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: his warnings that there was going to be a flood,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: his call for people to come into that safe place
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: called the ark, Yes, all of this came from God.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: He was a preacher who proclaimed the message. Even though
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Noah wrote no scripture, yet he heralded God's righteousness faithfully
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to his generation. Yes, God still speaks powerfully through the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: faithful voices of those whose words never filled a book.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And so, speak God's truth aloud to someone today. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: want you to tell forth. Whatever God has been sharing
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: with you for that purpose, tell forth the word verbally, audibly,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: so that people can know that God still hears. God
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: still answers prayer. There are words that you will speak
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in season and out of season, trusting that a faithful
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: spoken word carries God's power. I want to read now
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: a quote from the book Desire of Ages. page 253,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and then I'll add on a little from Christ's Object Lessons,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: page 22. Now you know where I'll be reading from.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing some. I'll skip a few words, but this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: is all the reality. The words of Christ were spoken
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to be obeyed. His teaching was distinct and clear and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: always to the point. The people were astonished at his
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: doctrine and for his word with His power. The people
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: were astonished at his teachings, his doctrine, for his word
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was with power. And so I am asking you to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: take that to heart. Sit under the words of Jesus Christ.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: In the Gospels today, that's the first four books of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the New Testament, for those who are not familiar, receiving
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: his teaching as spoken with full authority over your life.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus taught chiefly by speaking.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that he gathered them together and he
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: went to a mountainous place and he taught them saying,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and then he started to bless them with what we
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: call the Beatitudes during his preaching the Sermon on the Mount.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So we thank God for giving us the word of God.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: He's given us the ability to hear, and I'm asking
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: God to teach us to listen to his voice. 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 L. David Harris. Make it a great day.
