05 09 2025 The Worthy Lamb · 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

• 0:35
  Speaker 2: May nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

  Speaker 2: lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: caption for today is the Worthy Lamb, The Worthy Lamb.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but before
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we do, I'd like to say welcome to everyone joining us,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: especially those joining us for the very first time. Please

  Speaker 2: That is the one that we use for life application.

  Speaker 2: I may go into it again today, but regardless, if
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you have it, you can download it, you can get
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it as a physical copy, and that will help you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to again apply the truths that we talk about every
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: single day at your Daily Portion dot com. This is
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that we continue to build faith
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: us the privilege of being called by your name and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: for your worthiness. You are holy. Please teach us, teach
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: us how the worthiness of Jesus Christ transforms our lives.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a man again,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: let me just say that there is no competition in heaven.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: There is no competition in heaven. And so the scene
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: where I'm not going to go into it, but the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: scene in Revelation chapters four and five where worship is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: happening in chapter four, all of the beings, those created
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: beings that are pictured, there are worshiping God our Father.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And then in chapter five, the one who comes from
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the midst of the throne, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: lion of the tribe of Judah, the worthy lamb of God,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: which taketh away the sins of the world. He appears,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and then all of those creatures begin to worship Jesus.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: There was no competition in heaven. I wish I really
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: had the time this morning to deal with that truth.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But God is so faithful, and you want to know, well,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: how is he faithful? The question really is is Jesus
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: worthy in your life? Is he worthy in your life
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and mine? Is he worthy in our lives? Now we're
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: going to read first from a quote from the book
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Patriarchs and Prophets, page sixty three, and then I'll give
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you some practical reality here, okay. And so it comes
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: this way. The broken Law of God demanded the life
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of the sinner. In all the universe, there was but
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: one who could on behalf of humankind satisfy its claims.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Since the divine Law was as sacred, is as sacred
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: as God himself. Only one equal with God, only one
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: equal with God, our Father. Could make atonement for its transgression.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So the only way that we can be saved is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if the one who is equal to God, our Father,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: gives his life in our place to atone for our sins.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time. This is Jesus. None
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: other than Jesus, none but Christ could redeem fallen humankind
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: from the curse of the law and bring him again
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: into harmony with Heaven. Christ would take upon himself the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: guilt and shame of sin, sin so offensive to a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: holy God that it must separate the Father and his son.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I want you to see Jesus in your mind on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the cross, when he's crying out, My God, My God,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: why hast thou forsaken me? And my brother and friend
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Eric Thomas said one time we were having a discussion.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: He said, God never answered. The Father never answered. He
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: never answered. In all of these years that I've been
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: teaching this word, I've been writing for God's Church for years,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and it never even occurred to me that the Father
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: did not answer. He didn't answer. Well. In the Jordan
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: River he answered, he said, this is my beloved son,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and whom I am well pleased. In another place, he said,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: this is my beloved son hear him, and so he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: didn't need to answer. In that moment, Jesus needed to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: feel separated, not that he was, but feel separated because
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: sin separates us from God. Sin separates us from God,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and so sin so offensive to a holy God that
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it must separate the father and son. Christ would reach
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to the depths of misery to rescue the ruined race,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that is the human race. Jesus went through a lot
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to save us. Can I just say that? Can I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: say that I wish I had the time. Let's jump
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: into the Bible and make this practical for us. Relationship
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: centric from the Bible Book of Luke in chapter eighteen
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and verse one. The Bible reads and he spake a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: parable unto them to this end, Men ought also to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: pray and not faint. See what we're looking for now
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in this moment, Understanding that Jesus Christ is worthy, Understanding
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that he went through all of this, this darkness in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: order to save us from our sins. Now, how do
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: we remain connected to him? Well, let's begin with prayer.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Men ought always to pray and to not faint. We
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: need to be in a continuous dialogue with God, continuous
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: relationship with God, just like Enoch. The Bible says that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: he walked with him. Well, since I don't walk in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: heavenly places, when I pray, do not bring God down
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to me, but brings me up to Christ, up to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: God our Father through Christ. And therefore now we are
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places when we pray.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So we need to practice the visible presence of God
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and pray continually, and that will forge our connection with Him.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course, in John chapter fourteen and verse fifteen,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: many of us love to quote this in evangelistic series,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: but we need to quote this to ourselves and our
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: own lives every morning that we awake, and every afternoon
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that we pray again, and every evening that we pray again,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and any time in between where we are talking to God.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads, if you love me, keep my commandments.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to just talk to God. It
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense just to talk about God, but to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: have the power of God in our lives, having submitted
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to His will through this prayer, experience, this relationship with God,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places where we can't
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be there. If we're disobedient if it's a habit of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ours to turn our backs on God. When he says,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: there is a person that you can be kind to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: in this practical way, go do it right. Now. Here
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: is a way that you can yield your will to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: me by faith. When you want to go left, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I say, go right, and then turn and bend around
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the corner and go back and reverse. God is saying
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that if you love him, then he'll empower you to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: do exactly what he said. And then from the Bible
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Book of Galatians, chapter five, beginning at verse twenty two,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads, but the fruit of the spirit, the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: fruit of the spirit is love. That is a singular term, fruit,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not fruits with an s. Fruit of the spirit is love.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And now we can see how this love works out,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: or the outworkings of this love. It's joy, it's peace,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it's long suffering, its gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness. That's power
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: under control by the way temperance against such there is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: no law, that is no condemnation. And so when we
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: are praying, we have this right relationship with Christ. We're
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. We are connecting
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: with him, and he is empowering us to actually do
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: his will, keep his commandments. The Bible is teaching us
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: that there is a fruit that will be manifest and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that fruit is love, and then all of the other
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: aspects that show us what love looks like. So Jesus
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: is worthy? Is he worthy in my life? Well? I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: think we have some markers of whether we believe this
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: or not. 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,
