06 22 2026 Finally, Face-to-Face · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 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're going to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: change all of that. Let's experience God's words today and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
• 0:33

• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: final week of our lesson study, growing in a relationship
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: with God, and our caption for today's finally finally face
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to face. Finally, finally face to face. We'll get into
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but before we do, I'd
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: like to say welcome to you and ask you to
• 1:08

  Speaker 2: ahead and pray and then get underway. Father, we thank
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you for this Monday morning and the opportunity to look
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: forward to the day that finally we will see you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: face to face. Help us to purify ourselves even as
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you are pure. In the meantime, in Jesus' name, I pray,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. Finally. Now I did preempt this
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the other day. I was pumped up looking forward to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: today's lesson about probably two or three days ago, when
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I was talking about Moses and that experience with God
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: as God showed him quote his glory. But now let's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: drill it just a little bit more by beginning with
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a book titled Early Writings, page seventeen. It's a quote,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: page seventeen. Soon we shall see him as he is.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Soon we shall see him as he is and have
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the privilege of taking or talking with him, even as
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a friend talks with a friend. You see over the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: years I used to say, I am so tired of praying.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of praying. And what I meant by that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was not that I'm tired of praying, but I'm tired
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of talking to God as to a friend and not
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: being able to see him because I see my friends.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, Like if I I wanted
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to talk to my friend Quest right now as a
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: little early and he's probably in the well, I don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: know if he's in the better or not, but he
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: might be. I can hit this button. It's on my phone.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It says face time. I can hit the button, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: if he answers, I will see his face on the screen.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And if I'm really really blessed, I can board a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: plane and go to Charlotte, North Carolina and see Quest.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But with prayer, I can't see Jesus. With prayer, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: can't see God, our Father. I'm not even sure how
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to experience the Holy Ghost in a tangible way apart
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: from his moving in our lives in twenty twenty six.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But then we will be able to see face to face,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: whatever that means in eternity. Finally we will get to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the point where we will we will be in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: presence to the degree that we will talk with God
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and do so like a friend does with a friend.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I lay my hands on Quest's shoulders. Sometimes we get
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: fist bumped. Sometimes we hug, you know what I mean.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we just enjoy each other's company. And that is
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the minimum standard, the minimum level. When we finally see
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: God face to face, are you starting to get how
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: real this is? I don't know if Christianese speaking people
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: really jump in with our minds to say, like God,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: this is this is actual. This is not some kind
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of hyper spiritual thing. We're gonna see you face to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: face and so. Our lesson number one as we anticipate
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that day, comes in from Philippians chapter three, verses twenty
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and twenty one, where the Bible reads for our conversation
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: or our citizenship is in heaven. Of course, that's not
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: just a place in this This is a principle we're
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: talking about, not the way earth is now. We're talking
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: about godliness. Our citizenship is apart from the worldly customs
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: in paradigm, That's what it means. From whence we also
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: look for the savior who shall change. What is our
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: savior going to do change? What our vile body are
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: humble bodies that it may be fashioned like unto his
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: glorious body. So whatever form Jesus has today, we're gonna
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: have that form. However long Jesus can live, beginning today
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: into eternity. That's how long we are going to live.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Are you? Are you getting this? Huh? Whatever strength Jesus
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: has throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, we will have
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that same strength. We will not get weary, we will
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: not get tired, we will not ever feel pain again,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we will never cry again. Are you seeing the picture
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that God is painting right here? And so we will
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: be transformed and we will be changed completely. There's a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: multi syllable one, two, three, four, five, six syllable word
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that I did not rehearse. I cannot say it right
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: now in the Greek that represents this transformation to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: changed in form completely. Not just our intellect, not just
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: our characters, which is essential that must happen now, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: our physical reality will change completely. Ecclesiastes, chapter three and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: verse eleven, we read he hath made everything beautiful in
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: his time. Also he hath set the world in their heart.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Let me read it another way, God has made everything
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: fit beautifully in its appropriate time. You see, in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: appropriate time, Jesus is going to return, brothers and sisters.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It is high time now that we awake out of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: our sleep, because his coming is nearer than when we
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: first believed. So in the appropriate moment of time, he
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: has made it fit and beautiful. But He has also
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: placed ignorance in the human heart. There are times that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the world cannot see these things. There are times that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: people's eyes are not piercing through the darkness and seeing
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the reality of the coming kingdom. And so God is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: removing the veil. Surely I almost said slowly, but surely,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: but I would have misspoke. But surely he is removing
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the veil that separates between us and God. Now now
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He's going to move that ignorance from the human heart
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: for those who surrender our will to Him. And so
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you are created for eternity, brothers and sisters. God created
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you to live eternally. That was the goal when he
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: created you. He didn't create you to have to go
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to sleep or pass way, die and rest in the tomb.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He never created any human to be destroyed in the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: lake of fire. God never intended for us to be
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: separated from Him for any period of time. But God
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is now restoring us fully. He's restoring you fully, brothers
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and sisters. The future he promises includes here comes that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: long word again, complete transformation. So remind yourself that's the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: action stuff. Remind yourself today that your identity is rooted
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: in heavenly mindset, heavenly reality, eternity with God, not limited
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to your present circumstances. I know some of you have arthritis.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I know some of you have aches and pains. Some
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of you are even in your hospital beds right now
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: listening to me. Some of you are anticipating results from
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: different scans and tests and proddings and samples coming from
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: your body to know what next in your health or
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: medical future. But God is saying that all of that
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: will be passed away in the meantime. Purify yourselves, brothers
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and sisters, as He is pure. Our second lesson. Our
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: second lesson is simple that the return of Jesus Christ
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is going to be visible. Jesus will come in an
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: audible and real way. It is not symbolic. Every person
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: will witness it in all who are who are God's Children,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: will finally, as the lesson writer says, see him face
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to face and will never be separated again. Make it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a great Monday, 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.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
