• 0:01
  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.

  Speaker 2: books of First and Second Corinthians, and our caption for
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: today is the Resurrection Morning Erection Morning. I'm looking forward
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to that day. Before we get into that, I'd like
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to say welcome to you and ask you to go
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com. And if you've

  Speaker 2: for his glory. Also, also, will you make a contribution

  Speaker 2: because your daily portion ministries is a listener and viewer

  Speaker 2: supported ministry. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father, we thank you for this day
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of preparation. Will you prepare our hearts to serve you
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in the fullness. Will you also help us to look
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: forward to the day that death will die. God, We've
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: said a lot about it recently, but God that this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it's a world where we are our overrun with this reality.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So please give us, give us victory today. In Jesus' name,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen, Amen, and amen again. I'm going to begin,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of course, with what I consider to be the most
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: important thing thinking about Lazarus. The same voice. Go ahead
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and put in the chat if you desire, same voice,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the same voice that called Lazarus from the tomb. Is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the voice that is going to call your righteous loved
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: ones from their graves. Mm hmm. The same voice that
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: said Lazarus, come forth, is the same voice that will
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: call you up. If God forbid you should go to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: sleep before Jesus comes, call me up, if God forbid
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I should die before Jesus comes, call our loved ones
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: up from their tombs. If David is still resting in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: his tomb, I don't know if God raised him in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a special resurrection at some point. And please don't quote
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: me and say I said that he was. I don't know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. But if if David's tomb and David is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: still resting, David's tomb exists until this day, and he
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: is still resting in that tomb, then the dust that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is in that tomb will reconstitute at the sound of
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: God's voice, and David will be raised. King David will
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: be raised in corruptible. That morning is coming. And listen.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Nothing can stop it. Nothing can stop it. Our doubts
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: cannot stop it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The devil cannot stop it. They tried, They tried that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: trick when when Jesus died to put all kind of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: soldiers and whatever else. Make the grave as sure as
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you can. Well, Jesus came out incorruptible, you understand. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: so in John chapter eleven, we'll start there eleven, verse
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty six. I know I said it
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: already that we were looking at the Lazarus story. But
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: here's a different perspective. Jesus said unto her of Jesus,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: one of Lazarus's sisters, I am the Resurrection. He was
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: asking her, do you believe that I can I can
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: handle this problem? Do you believe that I can deal
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: with the death that Lazarus, the one whom I love,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: has just suffered and now his body stinks? Do you
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: think I can deal with that? He said, I am
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the resurrection. After she said yes, at the day of
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the Resurrection, you can. And He's like, wait a minute,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the day of Resurrection. I am the resurrection and the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: life he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: me shall never die. That means the second death, shall
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: never die. That means the second death, because the first
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: death to the believer is just asleep. That's it believest
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: thou this. He's asking, do you believe this? You believe this?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And so when Jesus asked, asked, Sister Martha, do you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: believe this? He wasn't asking for a theological answer. Like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the woman at the well wanted to discuss things theologically,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: while Jesus was there to change her heart and her mind.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: He was looking for a personal style of trust, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: kind that says, I am trusting you where I can't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: trace you, where my eyes are not yet seeing, I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: am seeing the evidence of your power to create the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: world's the world excuse me in six literal days, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: then you gave us rest for the Sabbath. I believe
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in that same power that when you transformed some of
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: my ancestors' lives back in the day, and I heard
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that you transformed them and you delivered them out of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Egyptian captivity. I believe that that same power you are
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: not you have, but you are right now in my
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: current situation. The resurrection is not only a future event,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: present person. Is what we were talking about. Then. Jesus
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: was saying, I am the resurrection. You're looking for an event,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and I am the one who is life and I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: standing right in front of you asking the same question today.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Can we just change the definition of today I'm talking
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: about today, I'm talking about on this day in August
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. Jesus is asking the same question.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Do you believe that I have the power to transform
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: your life? Do you believe that I have power to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: create put life into what was once dead, what seen impossible,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: but with me, meaning Jesus, all things are possible. Do
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you believe that? Or do you think that I have
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to be on probation and wait until certain circumstances are
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: first happen, and I have to look at the prescription
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and say, well, this is how you will make sure
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that the person is well? Or do you believe that
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus has resident in him the life unborrowed underrived to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: transform your situation today? Well, I'm grateful that he is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the resurrection and the life. So the Bible does say
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: here in first Thessalonians for our second lesson Versus six,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Chapter four, Verses sixteen and seventeen, for the Lord himself,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the same lord that called Lazarus. May I just say,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the same Lord who created us and the world, Yes,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: who called something from nothing. The same Christ, This same
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet sound of God,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: To be caught up that day, on that day, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: not before. On that day and not before that means
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to seize suddenly. Jesus is gonna seize his people suddenly
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: in a good way and snatch them away, snatch us
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: away with irresistible power. Let me just say, the law
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of gravity will be nullified in that moment we are
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: going up to meet him. And this is the word
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: for what happens to the living saints at the return
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. Those who are raised at the return
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, they will not be gently lifted up
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: like you hit the button in an elevator and then
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: it says, boom, going up. Not like that. We will
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: be snatched away hm hm, caught up by the power
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: that cannot be resisted. And who would want to resist
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that power anyway? To meet the Lord in the Air.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So the reunion at the return of Christ will be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the greatest gathering in human history. I promise you, friends
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: separated from each other by death, families torn apart by
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the grave, Saints from every generation, all caught up together
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: ah to meet the Lord in the Air, and that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: meeting will have no end. Make it a great day 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.
