06 22 2024 The Triumph of God’s Love · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, Good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Sabbath, June twenty two, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:39
  my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
• 0:42
  your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today
• 0:47
  is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series during this final
• 0:53
  week the Great Controversy, and our caption for today is the triumph of God,
• 1:00
  God's Love. The triumph of God's Love. Before we get into that,
• 1:04
  I'd like to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining us
• 1:08
  for the very first time. I'd ask you to please go over to your
• 1:11
  Daily Portion dot com. Please please join our online community. Let us know
• 1:18
  where you are in the world and we can have lively discussion and questions surrounding
• 1:23
  the lesson study. Some people are joining and not realizing that that is the
• 1:26
  purpose. The purpose is not to share a bunch of quotes. It doesn't
• 1:30
  matter where the quotes are coming from. It's all about discussing the actual lesson
• 1:37
  study that we have in front of us. And that way you can see
• 1:40
  that your posts will go through. We'll have lively discussion and see what God
• 1:44
  has to offer. Okay, let's go ahead and pray and then we will
• 1:49
  get underway. Father in heaven, thank you for this new Sabbath morning,
• 1:53
  one that we've never seen before, but you exist in eternity, and thank
• 1:57
  you for seeing every thing that we will experience and worship today and interacting with
• 2:02
  people today experiencing you today. I pray God now that we will be full
• 2:07
  of your power and that we will do your will no matter what. Today
• 2:13
  in Jesus' name, I pray Amen and Amen again the triumph of God's Love.
• 2:20
  I want to ask you a question. Has God's love triumphed over you?
• 2:27
  And what I mean by that is, has He overcome you to where
• 2:30
  you are compelled to live according to his principles. I'm saying, has his
• 2:38
  love, just like Paul said, constrained you to the things that please him.
• 2:44
  You see, the Bible says, behold what manner of love the Father
• 2:46
  hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God beloved?
• 2:52
  Now are we the sons of God? And it doth not yet appear,
• 2:54
  And of course sons and daughters we should say the children of God.
• 2:59
  And it doth not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that
• 3:01
  when He shall appear, we will be like him, for we shall see
• 3:07
  him as he is. And anybody who has this kind of hope in us
• 3:10
  should purify ourselves even as he is pure. Now for us to be able
• 3:15
  to recite that, that's a good start. That's a good start. But
• 3:20
  now, when you think about what it takes to love somebody like me,
• 3:23
  what it takes to love someone like you, or may I say it another
• 3:29
  way, what it takes to know someone like us and still love us all
• 3:34
  of the thoughts and dark secrets, all of the things that if other people
• 3:38
  knew they might be horrified, and still love us. All of the times
• 3:43
  that we rejected God's love, and he still gave us more love so that
• 3:49
  we could respond favorably and be transformed. You see, God's love is so
• 3:53
  powerful that he can transform our lives through his love. And then one day,
• 4:00
  one day, we will see Jesus. One day we will go to
• 4:03
  heaven and live there for a thousand years. I call it an extended vacation.
• 4:08
  Yes, the extended stay, celestial extended stay. But then then,
• 4:15
  finally Jesus will keep his other promise, as he would have said in Matthew
• 4:18
  chapter five, where he said that the meek will inherit the earth. Let
• 4:24
  me say it another way, the meek will inherit the new Earth. And
• 4:27
  so now we read in that context from the Book of Revelation, chapter twenty
• 4:30
  one, verse three, beginning at verse three, and I heard a loud
• 4:35
  voice in heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men.
• 4:41
  You see, Jesus had Moses build him a sanctuary in the wilderness so he
• 4:47
  could dwell among his people in air quotes, but they still couldn't see Jesus
• 4:53
  face to face. They couldn't see the Father face to face. Ah,
• 4:56
  they still had sin. And when even when mo this was in the mount
• 5:00
  with God, and then and folded into the cloud with God. God said,
• 5:05
  you know what. As he was coming into that experience, he said,
• 5:09
  you know what, there can no one see me and live. And
• 5:13
  so he hit him by the cleft of the rock. He covered his face
• 5:16
  with his hand, and then caused his own, God's own back to pass
• 5:20
  by Moses. And he began to declare and manifest his character in an incredible
• 5:27
  way. And yet and still Moses couldn't see his face. The brightness of
• 5:32
  God's love, the brightness of his character, his countenance, the essence of
• 5:38
  who he is was so incredible even with all of that covering. And Moses
• 5:43
  was so bright, shining bright, that the people couldn't stand the brightness coming
• 5:49
  off of or emanating from Moses. His love. God's love transforms even how
• 5:58
  we look, how we move, how we relate to people, how we
• 6:02
  experience the world, and the impact that we have in twenty twenty four and
• 6:08
  beyond. Yes, and so he said, the Tabernacle of God is with
• 6:13
  men. Now there's nothing between. Now it's the fullness of the Tabernacle of
• 6:16
  God is with humanity who has been redeemed, and he will dwell with them.
• 6:21
  In reality, y'all, not in a portable or transportable tabernacle. No,
• 6:30
  in reality, in the fullness of His brightness, in the fullness of
• 6:34
  his love, God will be with them and be their God. And guess
• 6:40
  what else He's going to do. According to the scriptures, He's going to
• 6:43
  wipe away every tear from their eyes, the memory of all of the trauma,
• 6:48
  childhood, trauma and beyond. Wiped away all of what happened as we
• 6:55
  for one thousand during a thousand year period, we're able to see why some
• 7:00
  of our loved ones unfortunately are not in heaven with us and then will not
• 7:04
  experience the earthmade new. All of that will be wiped away. There shall
• 7:11
  be no more death. God is finally going to destroy sin and unrepentant sinners
• 7:16
  last for one last time. No more death, no more sorrow, no
• 7:21
  more crying. There will be no more pain, ladies, childbirth and the
• 7:28
  pain that comes with it, even though there is an incredible reward on the
• 7:30
  other side of that pain. No more pain. People who are going through
• 7:35
  different disease challenges and you are getting treatment and even the treatments are painful.
• 7:43
  No more pain, Brothers, where that walnut sized organ that we call prostate
• 7:49
  has been enlarged and inflamed, and you have that pain just to do natural
• 7:56
  things like use the restroom or just live and sit down. No more pain,
• 8:00
  brothers, and for those who have experienced traumatic injuries, amputations, and
• 8:07
  other kinds of things, no more pain. We will be fully restored and
• 8:11
  there will be no more pain. There is some of you who are listening
• 8:15
  to my voice, and my voice has a certain frequency or pitch that really
• 8:18
  just disturbs, and you have tenitis or how you ever say it. I
• 8:22
  don't pronounce it correctly all of the time, and you're like, ah,
• 8:26
  there's a ringing in my ear. No more pain in your ears. God
• 8:30
  is going to take all of that away. For the former things have passed
• 8:35
  away. And I'm grateful. I'm grateful. And so the Bible says that
• 8:41
  we have no reason to fear. Right, we have no reason to fear.
• 8:46
  Let me see if I can get to the passage quickly. As we
• 8:50
  come to a swift close. We're talking about the transformative or transformational power of
• 8:56
  God's love, the triumph and power of God's love, and the Bible says
• 9:05
  that herein is love made perfect Verse seventeen, First John, Chapter four four.
• 9:11
  Here in is our love made perfect, that we have boldness in the
• 9:16
  day of judgment, Because as he is, so are we in this world.
• 9:20
  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear,
• 9:26
  for fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
• 9:31
  We love him why because he first loved us. His love is the cause
• 9:37
  of our ability to love, and his love triumphs over all ills when we
• 9:43
  surrender to him peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember
• 9:48
  we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the
• 9:50
  mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el David Harris.
• 9:56
  Make it a great day. Yeah,
