  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 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.

• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we will get underway. Father, thank you for this Sabbath
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: morning and the privilege that you have given us to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: stand on your words, standing on the promises of Christ,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: my King. Ah. Yes, God, please help us to do
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so until Jesus comes in Jesus name, I pray, Amen
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and a man again. We are grateful. We are grateful
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, because God has revealed his will. He
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: has revealed his will. He has not put us in
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a position where we need to guess. We have to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: figure it out on our own. We have to be
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on just the right pathway in order to know. He
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: has opened up his word to us sixty six blessed books.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: He has given us the Holy Spirit to teach us
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: whatsoever Jesus commanded when Jesus lived on planet Earth. We
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: have the experience and example of Jesus Christ. And so
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: all we need to do is now, having on the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: entire armor of God. Stand stand therefore in the entire
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: armor of God, God's will, okay, And so we begin
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: with a quote a quote from the book The Acts
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of the Apostles, The Acts of the Apostles, page four
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: hundred eighty two, where it reads those who stand under
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the blood stained band of Prince Emanuel, that means you're
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on the Lord side, yes, and you accept the salvation
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that comes through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So those
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: who are standing in that way should be faithful soldiers,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: true to their leader. And so God forbid if I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: am not a faithful soldier, If God forbid i am
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: not true to my leader, that means I'm not standing
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: under the blood stained banner of Prince Emmanuel. That means
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: if you look at the lesson we did two quarters ago,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: looking at the Exodus, from the exit from Egypt to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the Promised Land, we see that the people of God
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: under the plague, the plague where now we have what
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is called the Passover, where the death Angel was going
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to run through Egypt and destroy the first born of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: anything not covered by the blood. We see that the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: people of God followed the godidance where they were to
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: apply the blood to their doorposts, to the lintel. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know in the way that God prescribed as an
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: act of faith. And God promised that anybody who does
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that will be protected, and so and so if somebody
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: said that they had done it and they didn't do it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: then they would show up not as faithful soldiers. They
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: would show up as not being true to their leader.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And let me say this, this is not something that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: preaches well, but it's the truth. And then they would
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: have been destroyed. I think you're hearing where I'm going
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with this. And so it's our privilege to stand on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the promises of Christ. Are our king. It is our
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: privilege to be up under the bloodstained banner of princey Manuel.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But there is no way that we can fake that,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: because it will be manifest in our lack of faithfulness will.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It will be manifest in us not being true to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: our o It'll be manifest when we are exposed God
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: forbid as impostors and ultimately remain disconnected from God. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: so now we need some lessons. This is a good
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: place for our lessons. Number One, God's will is lived
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: through faithful relationships. The Bible teaches us in Colossian chapter
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: four and verse seven. All my state shall taikikus declare
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: unto you who is a beloved brother and a faithful
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: minister and fellow servant in the Lord. What is he saying?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Very simply, this particular brother is somebody that Paul loved.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: According to what Jesus said, they will know that you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: are my disciples if you have loved one toward another.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And the second and great commandment is like unto the first,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that you will love your neighbor as yourself. And so
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this is a loving experience, a loving relationship in what's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: called fellowship. And now we know that Paul is closing
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Colossians by naming co workers, real life people who
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: are living according to God's word. God's will is not
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: set in a vacuum or in an abstract setting or
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in some way that we have to figure it out
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: or guess what is God getting at. It's carried through
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: faithful people working together. Do you remember that was a prerequisite,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the prerequisite really in the first century Church where Jesus
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: said that I need you to go into this upper room.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I need you to tarry there until the Holy Ghost comes,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: as I am promising you, and then ye shall be
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: my witnesses into all of the world.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: This is something that's illustrating that we are bound together
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to the same master, meaning Jesus. God will advance through
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: God's will, advances through shared submission to Christ. And so
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Paul didn't stand alone in God's will. I want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: speak to the people who either outrun others because you're
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: so driven, you are so focused, you are competitive. Well,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you bring that into the faith and that means you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: stand alone. Or speak to the people who are introverted
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in nature, who would prefer to do things on their
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: own because fill in the blank here, Well, in that case,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: then we will not keep the faith. We will not
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: be true soldiers for the Cross. Because God never intended
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: for us to be alone. It is not good that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: we should be alone, that we should in fact unify,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: that we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: as the manner of some is, especially in the last days.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And so God is giving us a way to move
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: forward through cooperation, trust and shared responsibility. And so I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: need you to please identify at least one person God
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: has placed alongside you. Pray for them today this Sabbath morning.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I want you to pray for them because likely it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: popping up in your mind right now who it could be,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and intentionally support their calling This week lesson number two.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: God's will requires perseverance through imperfect people. I wish I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: had time to tell you a long story about one
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of the times I was an elder in West Kingston.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But I've seen God basically work through the elders, imperfect people.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: We all were to do some incredible things many years ago,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: maybe ten years ago or so. And I'm like, God,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: we're up against some super spiritual dark stuff, and you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: come through for us every single time. Why are you
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so good to us? And so in Acts chapter fifteen
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and verse thirty nine we read and the contention was
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: so sharp between them, So between the two men of God,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the contention was so ridiculous between them that they departed
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: asunder one from another. And so Paul's ministry network included
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: restored failures and strained relationships. God's will was not halted
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: by human weaknesses. He even said that one of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: brothers that he separated from later on, he said, he
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is all together fruitful. His ministry is all together fruitful.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So God's will is to pre persevere even through relationships
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: with imperfect people. Make it a great Sabbath peace. Thanks
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
