05 16 2025 Redeemed and Restored · 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 2: Vibrant lives.

  Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Friday, May sixteenth,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for today is Redeemed and Restored. Redeemed and Restored. Yes,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to just say
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: welcome to you and ask you to please go over
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: There is a red button over there. I want you
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and click in on that red button
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: as well and let us know where you are in
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the world at your Daily portion dot com. This is
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that we continue to build faith
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father, We thank you for this preparation day,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the opportunity for us to get closer to you and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: prepare for the time that you have given us in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the week called the Sabbath. Thank you for the rest
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that we have in you. Please let us be mindful
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: always of your presence. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and a man again redeemed and restored. There are so
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: many things that I'd like to say, but I need
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to be disciplined today. The Bible says, let the redeemed
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of the Lord say so, Sister Patrice, you're probably watching, listen.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Are you one of God's children? It's a simple question,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: but sometimes people get hung up on it when we
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: get real complicated as Christianese speaking people or believers. Right, yes,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: if you were one of God's children and you are
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: choosing to surrender your will to Him, and you understand
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: like and have the goal of helping others do the same.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Then you're redeemed. Jesus gave everything so that we could
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: be restored. And so I'm going to begin by reading
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit from the Great Controversy, page six hundred
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and seventy one, and it reads, Christ looks upon the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: redeemed we're talking about when we are in his presence.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: He looks upon the redeemed in his own image, every
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: heart bearing the perfect impress of the Divine, every face
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: reflecting the likeness of their king. He beholds in them
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the result of the travail of his soul and is satisfied.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: This is when we are in his presence in heaven. Finally,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: when all that we have experienced on planet Earth as
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it is, has been taken care of, we are now
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in heaven for that thousand years period. And of course
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this extends throughout eternity. Okay. And the Bible does teach
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: us in the Book of Isaiah, chapter fifty three, that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Jesus one day, the Messiah, one day will see the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: travail of his soul and be satisfied. That means he
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: will see all that he went through. And he lived
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: on planet Earth for thirty three and one half years.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He will see all that he felt when he was
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: on the cross and he sensed that God, his father,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: had forsaken him. I'm not saying that he had been
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: forsaken in the way that we see it, but he
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: felt forsaken. Why have you forsaken me? This is what
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Jesus cried out while he was on the cross. The
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Bible says that he will see all of that. When
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: they were ripping his beard out of his face, as
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the Old Testament Bible writers said, as they were not
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: just piercing his side. That sounds really kind of like
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: popping a balloon. When they stabbed him in the side
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: with a with a javelin or a sword, and his
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: body poured forth water and blood. He will see that
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: time when they mocked him and spat on him and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: put a crown of thorns on his head, and then
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: hit him in the head with the staff and then
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: started to mock and deride him. He will see all
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of that that he went through when he was hungry,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and he was thirsty and he needed rest, the many
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: times that he had to go into the presence of
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: God our father and beg for strength, and when he
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was in the garden of gethsemine. And he had gotten
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to the point that the stress level of carrying our
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: burden of sin was so heavy that he started to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: sweat as it were great drops of blood. He will
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: see those moments and say it was worth it all.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He'll look into your faces. He'll look into my face
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and say it was worth it all to redeem and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to restore these people. Having them right here with me now,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: like I prayed when I prayed to my father, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: we see it in John chapter seventeen. Please please let
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: them be where I am. Let them be where I am.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He will see all of that, and he will be satisfied.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Let me see here, it says. It continues, he declares,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: behold the purchase of my blood for these. I suffered
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: for these. I died that they might dwell in my
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: presence throughout eternal ages. Can you see yourself there, brothers
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and sisters, Can you see yourself there? I have been
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: preparing for a trip, and then I get on an airplane.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I had to pack my luggage, I had to do
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: all sorts of things in order to get there, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: need passports and all kinds of things in order to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: go where I'm going. I'm preparing to go somewhere. Are
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you preparing to go into the presence of Jesus Christ
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in heaven? Are you preparing to live and the earth
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: made new as a fulfillment of his promise that the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: meek will inherit the earth. Well, he has prepared a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: place for you so that when he does come again,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he will receive you unto himself, that where he is,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you can be also. And guess what. It continues, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the song of praise ascends from the white robed ones
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: about the throne. Worthy is the lamb that was slain
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: honor and glory and blessing. If you're looking at me,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: those are things seven things that happen when we are
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in his presence talking about the worthiness of Jesus Christ,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the lamb that was slain. That's the perfect praise. That
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is the perfect praise. If you want to know what
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the perfect praise is, then examine these things again. In
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter five and verse twelve. I'm so glad that
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus gave me the privilege of becoming one of his children.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to give you a few takeaways. A
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: few takeaways. A few takeaways. One is from Romans, Part
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of Me, chapter nine and verse twenty two. But what
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: if God, willing to demonstrate his wrath and to make
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: known his power, has endured with much patience the objects
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of wrath prepared for destruction. Here is the lesson. The
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: lesson is God allows rebellion because really the devil seemed
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to have been able to run rough shot the entire
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: time from the point that Eve fell into sin and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Adam jumped into sin, and I wish I had the time. Ah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But God is showing us that he allowed the rebellion
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to continue so that the universe could fully see how
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: destructive evil is. Yeah, so ask God to help you
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to recognize the evil effects of sin. Help God. Ask
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: God to help you to see all that Jesus went
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: through in order to save us, and then learn to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: appreciate God for this. For God so loved the world.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that He gave us his only begotten son,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that whosoever believeth on him, do you believe in him?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Truly truly believe in him? Ah? We well don't have
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to perish, We don't have to have eternal death like
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we can have eternal life. He's not looking for someone
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to condemn. This is what Jesus did. So he allows
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: rebellion to go, but so far so that people can
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: see how evil evil is and say, you know what
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I prefer to be in the presence of God. I
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: prefer to live with the one who loves me, rather
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: than to be a servant a slave to the one
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: who hates me. Let's go with one more before we close.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: In Colossians, chapter two and verse fifteen, disarming the rulers
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: triumphing over them by the cross, the lesson at the cross,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus fully defeated Satan and secured a place for us,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: for you, brothers and sisters to live with him forever.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And the empty tomb just solidified it. I'm so grateful
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that he has redeemed. I'm so grateful that He will
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: even more than restore us at the appropriate time. 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,
