• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

• 1:55
  Revelations Final conflict. Ooh, this is a good one. This is
• 2:00
  a good one. The message of revelation, according to the lesson writer,
• 2:04
  is much more than cryptic symbols. I've said this to you. I started
• 2:07
  out this quarter eleven weeks ago on this right. It's more than cryptic symbols.
• 2:14
  It's more than strange beasts and odd images. In fact, I said
• 2:19
  to you that we should not be satisfied with being able simply to identify all
• 2:23
  of these What do these symbols mean. What do these images and beasts mean?
• 2:28
  What are their particular dates? That should not be the end or the
• 2:31
  outcome of our study. That is just part of our study. We should
• 2:37
  be seeking connection with God, seeking his will for our lives and how we
• 2:42
  should impact the people and the world around us so that they can be saved.
• 2:46
  You see. Okay? It speaks of eternal truths given by a loving
• 2:51
  God to an end time generation. The conflict between Christ and Satan began in
• 2:59
  heaven. Over get this worship over worship. It will come to its final
• 3:07
  climax. How over worship? You see that? Yeah? So it began
• 3:14
  about worship and will it will end about worship? Okay? So are you
• 3:19
  connected with God? I want you to type it in the chat like is
• 3:22
  God your friend? Is Jesus your friend? Do you experience the power of
• 3:28
  the Holy Spirit? Type a yes or no? And I want you to
• 3:31
  be honest if you do not experience the power of the Holy Ghost. I'd
• 3:38
  like to know why. Why? Because the Bible says when He the Spirit
• 3:42
  of Truth, has come, he will guide us into all truth, the
• 3:45
  things about God, the things about ourselves and how we need God. We
• 3:49
  will teach whatsoever Jesus commanded, because Jesus promised he would be with us himself.
• 3:53
  Jesus always, even unto the end of the world. And so if
• 3:59
  you you are not connected to God through the power of the Holy Spirit,
• 4:03
  then today is your day, really and truly, today's your day. If
• 4:08
  you hear his voice. The Holy Spirit is the one that's bringing the voice
• 4:11
  of God to you. I will wing you if you hear his voice today.
• 4:15
  Don't harden your heart. Just accept. Accept that you will be in
• 4:19
  connection with God. Accept that you can surrender your will to Him, except
• 4:25
  that He can give you a new life. Beginning at this very moment,
• 4:29
  at almost five minutes into our broadcast for this morning, I just pray that
• 4:34
  you will do it today, okay, And so I want to really begin
• 4:40
  with the Book of Revelation, chapter four and verse eleven. It's a worship
• 4:44
  scene. In fact, Roman Revelation chapters four and five are a worship scene
• 4:49
  in heaven. And so the Bible reads, Thou art worthy, O Lord,
• 4:54
  to receive glory and honor and power, for Thou hast cated all things
• 5:00
  and for thy pleasure they were created. And so God has given us the
• 5:06
  code he's given us what it means for us to be connected with him.
• 5:12
  Yes, true worship is central to connection with God. In fact, the
• 5:16
  Bible says that God inhabited the praises of his people. That means that He's
• 5:20
  present when we praise him. When we live a lifestyle of worship like Enoch
• 5:26
  did, it means that we are walking with God just like Enoch did.
• 5:30
  Yes, and so acknowledge God as creator. Don't just acknowledge him, but
• 5:34
  recognize and affirm his role as creator in your life. That means that wherever
• 5:41
  he says, go, you'll go. If he says to pause and slow
• 5:44
  down, you'll pause and slow down. You understand whatever he commands, you
• 5:48
  will accept it and live according to those principles. And I know some people
• 5:54
  don't like the word command, because you've had some humans try to command and
• 5:57
  force you to do all kinds of things that I don't really resonate with you.
• 6:00
  But God's word must resonate. If we're his children, if we're set
• 6:04
  aside for a holy use by His word through the Holy Ghost, then we're
• 6:10
  in a good position. And so when we see that God is worthy,
• 6:13
  we let him know that we know that He's worthy. When we see that
• 6:15
  He is all powerful. Blessed be his name. We do share and teach
• 6:20
  and live according to principles that manifest His power. Power over the rum bottle
• 6:27
  right, power over my attitude, power over me not having self control,
• 6:32
  power over my conversations and my entertainment, what I do with my time with
• 6:38
  the resources God is entrusted to me. Yes, And so we thank God
• 6:42
  for this. And of course we have said many times, remember the Sabbath
• 6:46
  day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
• 6:49
  work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
• 6:54
  In it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son, nor thy
• 6:58
  daughter, thy man servant, nor thy made servant, nor thy cattle,
• 7:01
  nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days, literal
• 7:05
  days, the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that indom
• 7:09
  is. And then God rested. We're talking about way back then. God
• 7:13
  rested thousands of years ago and blessed the Sabbath day. Wherefore the Lord rest
• 7:19
  the Sabbath day and made it holy. And so we follow in his footsteps.
• 7:24
  This is what Jesus also did when he lived on planet Earth. The
• 7:28
  Bible says in Revelation chapter fourteen and verse twelve, here is the patience of
• 7:31
  the saints. Here are they that do what keep the commandments of God?
• 7:36
  Who are these that keep the commandments of God? The saints in the last
• 7:41
  days and at any time in Earth's history, But in the last days the
• 7:45
  saints of God? Do what keep the commandments of God? How do we
• 7:47
  keep the commandments of God? Oh, by the way, we have the
• 7:51
  faith of Jesus. Bible says that Jesus is the author and finisher of our
• 7:57
  faith. He's the one that gives us both to will and to do of
• 8:01
  his good pleasure. Right at the end analysis he said to fear God and
• 8:07
  do his commandments, and be just. This is the entire duty of man.
• 8:13
  This is what the Bible teaches us and will man by the way.
• 8:16
  And in the Book of John chapter four and verse twenty four, the Bible
• 8:20
  says, God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him
• 8:24
  in spirit and in truth. That means according to his guidelines, his principles,
• 8:30
  his standards, not something that we made up, not something that we
• 8:33
  say, Well, if I like it, then I'll do it. No
• 8:37
  yield ourselves to God, and He will give us brand new hearts, and
• 8:41
  then our desires will begin to align with His desires, even when sometimes God
• 8:46
  forbid it is painful. And then the Bible gives us another code. I
• 8:52
  call it a code. But because some of the young people who use gaming
• 8:58
  as a way of entertaining themselves, there are cheat codes, right and you
• 9:01
  may not like that association, but this is how some people refer to it.
• 9:05
  But God has given us the guideline like he's given us, He's given
• 9:09
  us the back door channel to say, this is how you can do it,
• 9:13
  and do it simply. In two Timothy, chapter two and verse fifteen,
• 9:18
  this is how you win. This is how you win in the game
• 9:20
  of life. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
• 9:26
  not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word of truth, the message of
• 9:31
  God's word becomes a part of our lifestyle. In the last days. There
• 9:35
  are all kinds of lies and conflicts, but God is saying, associate yourselves
• 9:41
  with God, become his children, and do his will. Thanks for joining
• 9:45
  us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
