  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
• 0:08
  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

  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a great, big, happy birthday. My son does not watch
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: me on YouTube much, but I just want to say
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a great, big, happy birthday to our one and only son, Josiah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So if you see him somewhere, yes, he's gonna be like,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: why did Daddy do this? If you see him somewhere,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: just tell him happy birthday. And of course, my good, good,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: good friend Sean, it is his birthday today as well.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I just thank God for what he is doing in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the life of our young man Josiah, because without God,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Josiah would not be here. We thank God. Make it
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a great make it a great study. Let's go ahead
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and pray and get underway. Father, we thank you for
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: giving us the opportunity to open up your word and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to see what you have to say. I pray that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we will learn from Jesus's ministry how to connect with
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you and how to do your will. In Jesus' name,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again the prayer of Jesus.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Now we see Jesus praying a lot in the scriptures.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We see him going taking himself aside, going to a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: solitary place, a great while before day, maybe like this time,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: like where you are. It may not be as early
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: as it is where I am, but a great while
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: before day. And then he there. We see that he
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: was praying, and his disciples came to him and said,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: teach us how to pray, like John taught his disciples.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We see that when one of his disciples was really
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: getting beside himself and he was being proud, Jesus said,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I have prayed for you. The devil has asked to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: have you, but I have prayed for you that your
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: faith fail you not. And so we see that Jesus
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: as he lived on planet Earth, was a model of prayer.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm grateful because that lets me know. If Jesus
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: prayed and he got the results that he did, connecting
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: with God our Father in the way that he did,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: then that is a blessing that I too can benefit from.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And so the lesson writer says Jesus would soon be
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: leaving this earth. He desired to share once again his
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: love for his disciples. He wanted them to understand the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: close relationship between him self and the Father and the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. Did you get that? Yep? And he wanted
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to bring them into the same personal relationship with God,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the Father, and the Spirit that he also had. Okay,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so we have that very clear. One of the prayers, though,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that we must never forget, is what is called by
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: some of us, the high priestly or mediatorial prayer that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is recorded in John chapter seventeen, John chapter seventeen. And
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I want to share a few points. Actually, let me
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: read some of the prayer and I'll share a few points,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: because really it's twenty six verses long. I won't be
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: reading all of that, but I'll read some of the prayer,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and then I'll give a few points as well. And
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: so the Bible reads in verse one from verse one,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and said, So he's praying with his eyes lifted toward heaven.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I think Solomon is recorded as having his eyes lifted
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: toward heaven and his hands spread toward God as he
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: prayed and dedicated the temple to God. I wish I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: had the time to deal with what we just saw there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: But anyway, it says Father, the hour is come. Glorify
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: thy son, that thy son also may glorify Thee, as
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: should give eternal life to as many as thou hast
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: given him. You see the heart of Jesus for the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: people of God, Yes, and this is the life eternal,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that they might know THEE, the only true God, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. He wants us to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: know God. He wants us to know God our Father,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in the same way that Jesus himself knew God knows
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: God our Father. I have glorified Thee in the earth.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I have finished the work which thou hast given me
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to do. And now, O, Holy Father, glorify thou me
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: with thine own self, with the glory which I had
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: with THEE. Before the world was You imagine Jesus was
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: living on planet Earth. His own received him not, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: only people by faith could see who Jesus was, so
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that they could be transformed by him. Jesus is longing
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to be back in the fullness of the form that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he was before he took on human flesh, to be
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the brightness in a way that is unapproachable. Like as
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he was in Mount Horreb, and he told Moses, there
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: shall no man see me and live. I said, when
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Jesus was in Mount Horeb, Mount SINAI, he said, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: know what I just said. He said, no man shall
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: see me and live. And he covered Moses's his eyes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and he hid him in a cleft of the rock,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and he himself he caused his glory to pass by Moses.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: As Moses was in the hiding place of God, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: he began to announce the glory. He began to announce
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the character of God. And yeah, so Jesus is longing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to be back in that space. I have manifested thy
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: name verse six, unto the men which thou gavest to me,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: out of the world, Thine they are, and thou gavest
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: them me, and they have kept thy word. Now they
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: have known all the things whatsoever thou hast given me
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: are of thee or I have given unto them the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: words which thou gavest me, and they have received them
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and have known surely that I came out from thee,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and they have believed that Thou didst send me. One
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: more verse, I pray for them. I pray not for
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the world, but for them which Thou gavest to me,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: for they are Thine and so much more. I want
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you to think about some of the highlights. Though the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: lesson writer wanted us to take a peek and say
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: what words or phrases in this chapter expresses the desire
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: of Jesus for a close relationship of love between himself,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the Father, and his disciples. I will share just a
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: few in the moments that we have here in verse
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: twenty one oneness he wants he wants unity, unity among
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the people of God in the same way that he
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: is unified with the Father. And I said, in the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: same way, I need you to get this, especially in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four in the last days, there are people
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: who say that we love God, who are unifying in
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: air quotes, unifying on all sorts of foolishness, unifying and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: disrespecting the truths that God has given us in his word.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Also that we can be unified. No, no, no, Jesus
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: gave a very clear qualifier. He said, I want them
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to be one or unified, in the same way that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: we are unified. The Father, Son and Holy Ghosts are
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: unified on truth, not lies, truth not error, Truth and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: holiness not dishonesty and unholiness. So if you're gonna unify
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, unify on that basis and that basis alone.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time also a revelation of God.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I made known your name to them, and I will
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: continue to make it known. God wants us to make
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: known his name and the earth in the same way
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that Jesus did as well. 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,
