01 17 2025 GODfidence · 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
• 0:08
  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.
• 0:28
  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, January seventeen,
• 0:37
  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
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: study series God's Love and Justice, and our caption for
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: today is God fidens. I don't know. I think I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: made it up. I think I made that word up.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but maybe somebody else did it before me.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: God fidense. That is confidence in God. We'll get into
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but first I'd like to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: say welcome to you and ask you to go over
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to your Daily Portion dot Com on this preparation day
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and pick up the Your Daily Portion Companion Guide. It
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: goes with this sable school lesson quarterly. Okay, pick that
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: up and also let us know where you are in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the world at your Daily Portion dot Com. This is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that we continue to build faith
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then we
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: us this new day and giving us just one more day,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: one more step toward the Sabbath time. That is special.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You have given us this holy time to set aside
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in a way that we can connect with you unlike
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: any other day. And I just pray that we will
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: never lose focus, that we will always have our confidence
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in You in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: again God fedense, God fedense. That's confidence in God. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so today I want you to go to page fifty
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: one fifty one of the Your Daily Portion Companion Guide
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and we're actually going to talk about it today. Talk
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: about it today, and we will deal with the personal application. Okay,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: personal application, and let's begin. If you've never read in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: our Companion guide, we use an acronym WIN. So let's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: begin with W. What is important now, embrace your God
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: given worth. I need you to understand and believe that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the worth or the value that is placed on our
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: lives comes from God. Okay, embrace your God given worth
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and reject negative self perceptions. Remember God values you so
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: much that he sent his son to redeem you, that is,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to buy you back from the devil so you can
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: be saved. I wish I had the time. This should
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: reshape how you see yourself and how you live every
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: single day. Okay, So that's what's important. Now. I internalize
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that reality, that insight. Think about the areas where you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: struggle with self esteem or doubt. Remind yourself that your
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: value is not based on external measures, but on God's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: love and purpose for you. Choose to believe that God
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: said what God says about you rather than your own
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: negative thoughts. I wish I had the time and then
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: en Finally, what is the next best move? The next
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: best move is to invest a moment every morning to
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: declare a positive truth about yourself based on God's word.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And I'll give you an example. Because some people are like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know dave. Here it is.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Here's an example for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: This comes from Psalm chapter one hundred thirty nine and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: verse fourteen. Let this affirmation replace any self doubt with
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: God fidets. I am fearfully and wonder wonderfully made by whom,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: by God. You see where this is going. And so
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the lesson writer is using is using for a quote
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the book Desire of Ages, page six hundred and sixty eight,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and it reads, the Lord is disappointed. This isn't good.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: The Lord is disappointed when his people place a low
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: estimate upon themselves. You see now why we were applying
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: what we were reading that way. He desires his chosen heritage.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's you to value themselves according to the price he
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: has placed upon him. What is the price that he
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: placed upon you? What did he What was the value
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of the sacrifice that God gave for you? Think about it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Jesus is all of heaven in one gift. Jesus took
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: on human form and then allowed his humanity to suffer
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and die what we understand to be the Second Death.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: What an amazing sacrifice he risked his humanity, sinning like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: his humanity could have sinned. What would that have done
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to Godhead? If Jesus, in his humanity, God forbid, would
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have sinned, would that have meant for the Godhead? So
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the risk was incredible, like wow, but he has done
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: all of this, and we need to now say, okay, well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: if God was willing to do all of that and more,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: then I am full of value. And so the Bible,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the Bible, I mean, the lesson continues. God wanted them,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: else he would not have sent his son on such
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: an expensive errand to redeem them. He's talking about you,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he's talking about me. He has a use for them,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and he is well pleased when they make every make
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: very highest demands upon him that they may glorify his name.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: So you don't go to God with those tiny little
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: prayers and then give him an escape route if that's possible,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and make it seem as if well, God, if you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to do it, then it must not have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: been your will. Well, maybe we should really be pressing
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Heaven and asking for the largest possible things where our
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: faith can lay hold upon the promises of God. Like
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Eli Shah said, I want double of the power, double
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of the Holy ghost that you had Elijah. He pressed
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Heaven about this. You see, he didn't speak or pray
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: tiny little prayers. I want double. I know, I know
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you're about to go to heaven and you will only
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: have been the second person I know of to go
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to heaven without tasting death, like who won't need to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be resurrected. You are being translated. I get it, But
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I want double the power that you had. You see
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: what I mean? This is what God wants. It pleases
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: him when we do this. Let me read it again.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He is well pleased. He is well pleased when they,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: meaning us make the very highest demands upon Him that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: they may glorify his name. Don't forget that part. So
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: when you're asking for that raise at your job or
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that business success, it's to glorify him. When you are
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: begging God to deliver that child of yours, that son,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that daughter from the hands of the enemy, it is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to glorify him. When you are asking God to help
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you to be more healthy, and maybe you're struggling with
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: your weight or your perception of your weight. Maybe your
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: weight isn't in challenge at all, but you perceive because
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you have dysmorphic thoughts. When God delivers you. It is
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to glorify him. Let me keep reading. They may expect
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: large things if they have faith in his promises. But
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to pray in God's name means much. See, we pray
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in God's name, but it means much. It means that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we are to accept his character. Are you accepting his character?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Brothers and sisters in your life manifest his spirit? Are
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you manifesting his spirit?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: When people see you, do they see the power of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: God at work? Huh, his work and work his works.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: The Savior's promise is given on condition if ye love me,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: he says, keep my commandments. He saves men not in sin,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: but from sin, and those who love him will show
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: their love by obedience. And the quote continues. So let's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: close right here. Do you have the kind of confidence
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in God? I'm talking about the brand of confidence that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: lays hold upon the promises of God that won't take
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: no foreign answer. That you're like Jacob who was wrestling
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: with God and he said, I will not let you
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: go until you bless me no matter what happens. We
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: see we can have confidence in God so that we
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: can be saved. 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,
