06 26 2026 The Family, United · 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
• 0:07
  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,

  Speaker 2: with Christ. This one is in the record books Brothers

  Speaker 2: and Sisters, and our caption four two today is the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Family United. If you notice you've been with me for
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a long time, I actually title Friday's lessons even though
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: they are seen in our quarterly as further thought family,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the Family United. Before we get into that, I'd like

• 2:01
  Speaker 2: let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank you for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: getting us through our work week. This is it. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: more than that, thank you for taking us through an
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: incredible quarterly. This is one of the best ones, in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: my view, that we've ever had because it focused narrowly,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: strictly on our relationship with you. I'm asking you now, God,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to help our relationship with you to thrive to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: degree that we fully represent you in the earth. In
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus name, I pray Amen and Amen again the family United. Okay,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: let me read a quote very quickly then, and then
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we'll get into our three lessons for today. If we
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: can get through all three. From the book The Faith
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I Live by page three hundred and sixty three, we
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: read talk. Whoops, it just vanished off my screen. There
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it goes, talk of that life which will continue you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: as long as God shall live. You see, there are
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: times that we focus as last Day's believers. We focus
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: on the things that are burning down, the things that
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: are exploding, the things that are going wrong in the earth,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: all of the trials and tribulation, the strikes, and the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: financial problems and the markets crashing, and all of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: stuff going wrong in nature. When God is saying to us, yes,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you observe those things. You see those things. You know
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: that the earth is moaning and groaning in birth pangs
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: because of these things. We can see that. But your
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: focus needs to be above. So talk about that life,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: talk about eternity with God more. Yeah, I want you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to reflect on that. Talk to your children, your grandchildren,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: your great grandchildren, about the day finally, when we will
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: see him face to face, we will be able to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: eat from the tree of life. We'll be able to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: see some things in nature that we didn't even know
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: where possible. People like me who want to fly like
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I don't want wings, like I hope we don't have
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to have wings. I don't know. Of course, I speak
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: as a human being. Brothers and sisters, don't hold it
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: against me. But I want to fly. I want to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: be able to literally just move up from terra firma
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and go up into the air and go wherever I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: want to go without walking, not because of tiredness, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I love heights. I want to be in a position
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: where if I decide I want to be somewhere and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I want to go faster than flight can take me,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that I can go like Philip was moved from that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: moment of baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch and then he was
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in Azotus instantaneously. I don't know if you ever paid
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: attention to that passage, but I did. I was like, WHOA,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to travel like that. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So speak of these things of the time that we'll
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: finally sing together where none of our voices will have
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: any impairment. We will all have perfect pitch, our harmonies
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: will be perfect, and will be able to hear things
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that we had never even heard before. So speak of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: those moments today beginning today. So our first lesson comes
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in from Matthew chapter five and verse six. Blessed are they,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: those are the people who are highly favored. Blessed are
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: will be filled. What does it mean to be hungry
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in that way? Well, the Greek term pie nao it
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: means to hunger deeply, to crave intensely. Do you hunger
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: after righteousness in an intense way? Craving intensely? Do you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: do you crave this righteousness in this way? If not,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: then ask God for hunger first, that kind of hunger Ah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But the Bible gives the promise Jesus speaking those who
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: do crave intensely and hunger deeply after the righteousness of God.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I am going to fill those individuals. In John chapter
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: six and verse thirty five we read I and the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: bread of life, he that cometh to me shall never
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: hunger again. You're never going to be hungry again. You'll
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: never be thirsty again. And so preparation for heaven, which
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: is really the prism, This is the perspective that takes
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: us into the eternal mindset. Preparation for Heaven begins now,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: right now, Brothers and sisters, almost seven minutes into our broadcast.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: That preparation begins right now. A life that is shaped
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: by Christ develops a desire for righteousness and aligns with
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Heaven's culture. We talk about this in corporate all the time,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: in our corporate disc essions about the culture of the company,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: culture of the organization. What is the culture of Heaven?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Are we rehearsing that culture right now in our lives
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: so that when Jesus comes, it will not be foreign.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: We will not be crying out for the rocks to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: call to fall, pardon me on us, to hide us
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: from the face of him, the lamb of the one
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: sitting upon the throne. And so the practice today is
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to feed on God's word. You see what we did there,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: your daily portion. You'll never hunger or thirst again. Feed
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Jesus as the bread of life. Feed on God's word.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I think you're getting it now. Let it shape your
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: desires and your thinking. Lesson number two from Revelation, chapter
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: twenty one and verse three. The Bible says, behold, look,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the residence the Tabernacle of God is with human beings
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and he will dwell with them, He will be among them,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and they shall be his people. You see, when Jesus
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: went to the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the Bible says Adam heard the presence of God walking,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and so he was hiding. He was naked, ashamed, fearful,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and he hid himself. Well, we're not going to hide anymore.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We will not be in the bushes anymore because we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: will not be naked. We will be finally clad in
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the righteousness of Christ and the white robes of bright,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: white lightness that finally we will have no reason to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: be ashamed. We will finally never have to fear. We
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: will finally never need to hide anywhere, because God is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: with us. The Tabernacle is with men, and He will
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: be with us and be our God, and we will
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: be His people. In Psalms chapter one hundred and thirty
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: three and verse one, we read, Behold, how good and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: how pleasant is it for brethren to come and dwell
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: together in unity? This is our privilege today. But God
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is warming us up for that future time. Remember, God
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: is uniting his family on planet Earth, so that when
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we go into heaven, we will go as the family
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that God had seen throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity past.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Okay okay, okay, okay okay. And so the lesson here
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: is Heaven is uniting the family of God under God's authority.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Unity and harmony define life of the redeemed. So practice today,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: strengthen your relationships with people who love God, and remove
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: division where possible. Make it a great day they act
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it to our own friends. Always remember we cannot live
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: by bread alone, but by every word that comes from
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: with el David Harris. Make it a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
