• 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
• 0:08
  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
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: our caption for today is the Second Signed, the second
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Sign in Galilee, the second Sign in Galilee. We'll get
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to say welcome to you and ask you to please
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join

• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this day.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: giving us the opportunity to pray. And I ask you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to please draw us into your presence, help us to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: see all of the miracles that you did as a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: facility for us to worship you and to be transformed
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: by you miraculously and to live according to all of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: your principles in these last days. In Jesus name, I pray,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again the second Sign in Galilee. Okay,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and so now we're going to read from the Bible
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: book of John chapter four. John. Yes, John chapter four,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and I will read beginning at verse forty six. John
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: chapter four and I will read beginning at verse forty six.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Let's see what God has to say. So Jesus came
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: again to cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So we now know that in that same place there
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: are people who are well aware, not just from reading
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the prophecies. If there were a few people who had
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: done that. But people are well aware because Jesus manifests
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the glory of God to people, so they can believe,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: this is what we learned yesterday, right, And so he
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: manifests through this miracle and his compassion and the symbolism
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in that transformation from water into unfermented wine something special.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So now he's in the place where people are primed
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and ready ready to see more, okay, experience more. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he came to cana of Galilee where he made the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: water into wine. And there was a certain noblemen whose
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: son was sick at Copernium. When he heard that Jesus
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: him and he besought him that he would come down
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and heal his son. Why because he was at the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: point of death. What happens when you are experiencing sickness?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: What do you do? What happens when someone who is
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: very close to you is very sick? Who do you
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: go to? Who do you beseech? Who do you pray to?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Who do you ask for a miracle? Well, hopefully you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: do what this man is about to do. Verse forty eight.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Then said Jesus unto him, except GC signs and wonders,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you will not believe. And the man, the nobleman said,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: unto him, sir, come down ere, my child die. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus saith unto him, go thy way, thy son liveth
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So the man is desperate. Jesus checks him. He checks
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: him for what he knows is in the man the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: nobleman's heart, and he says, please, but Jesus, I hear
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. But my son really needs you. Can
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you come and heal him? And Jesus says, all right,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So this is what I need you to do. Go
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ahead where you came from. Your son lives. And the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: man believed the word I want you to type in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the chat. Believe the word, believe the word. The man
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he went his way. You see, when Jesus sends you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on a mission, when Jesus gives you, he gives us instructions.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Do we believe him When he says, go and sin
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: no more? Do we believe that we can go and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: send no more? Or when he says, take up your
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: bed and walk, do we believe that, by God's grace
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: we can take up our bed and walk. We were paralyzed,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we were sick, we were somehow afflicted with some other challenge.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And Jesus says, this is what I need you to do.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Do we believe his word and then go and do
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: what he says. You see, the man went on his way,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and he went on his way, and you know it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: very interesting. What's interesting verse fifty one. And when he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: was now going down, his servants met him. You see,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the servants are amazed by God, and likely they are
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: also surprised, like something special just happened. Does something special
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: happen when you speak to God and then He responds
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to you? You see, the Bible says, this is the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: confidence that we have in him that if we ask
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: anything according to his will, then he hears us. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we know that if he hears us, we have the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: petitions we desire of him. And so we want to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: be in alignment with God's will, not just to get
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: our prayers answered, but certainly to separate from us, separate
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that sin that is in the way from us. Right,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the Bible says in Isaiah chapter fifty nine, Verses one
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and two, that God is able to answer your prayers
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: like God's hands are not too short, his ears are
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: not stopped up. But your iniquities have separated between you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and your God that he will not be able to hear.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And so what God wants us to do is to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: have nothing between our souls and our saviors and our Savior.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And then when we go to him in confidence, we
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: can go knowing that His will will be done. His
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: will will be done on earth in your situation, as
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: he sees how it's supposed to be in heaven. Can
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I say it again? His will will be done on
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: earth as it is in heaven. And so now this
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: man he believed on his word, he knows that Jesus
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: did something. He goes on his way to see what
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: God showed him by faith. And now the servants, who
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: are amazed and surprised, meet him along the way, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they told him saying, thy son liveth Then inquired he
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of them what hour m at just the right time?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What hour when he began to amend like he was
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: getting better? When did that happen? When did that happen?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: And they said, unto him, yesterday about at the seventh
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: hour the fever left him. You see, when I am
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: praying there are many times, especially when I'm praying for
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a group of people, I ask God, or when we're
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: praying for healing for someone, or for some challenge or difficulty.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I asked God to please give us a mouth with
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: which to praise Him, and I say, God, to get glory.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Will you please remind us that it was at this
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: moment that we were praying to you, so that when
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you choose to answer the prayer, we can say it
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was at this moment eight minutes into our broadcast today,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: on this day in September, right before we go into October,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Jesus began to do a special work, and we can
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: say it was because we prayed. It was because we
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: were in God's presence in a worshipful mind set. It
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: was because we yielded our will to God. And He
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: said yes to answer the prayer in the affirmative. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: so now they know the hour. They know that the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: fever had left him Verse fifty three. So the father
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: knew that it was at the same hour in the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: which Jesus said, unto him, thy son liveth and himself
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: he believed. And guess what that belief was contagious. You see,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the man believed and that belief was contagious. You see,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: people saw that Jesus answered the man's prayer in the affirmative.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Jesus worked on behalf of the young son and Hem
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: at just the time that Jesus said, go your way,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: your son liveth And now the whole house is like,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, now, what a god?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute? Now? Are you saying that Jesus healed him.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He didn't even have to come and see or lay
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: hands on him. He did not have to anoint his
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: head with oil. He didn't have to do anything except
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: speak the word in the same way he said, let
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: there be light in the beginning, and there was light
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in the same way. He healed so many people subsequent
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to this. We see now that the whole house was
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a believer. Now this again was the second miracle Jesus
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: did when he came out of Judea into Galliwate. 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,
