• 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
• 0:34
  morning. It is Thursday, May thirty, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:38
  my name is Elle David Harris. I am your host, and this is
• 0:41
  your Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day, and today
• 0:45
  is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series the Great Controversy.
• 0:51
  Our caption for today is the Three Angels Messages. The Three Angels Messages.
• 0:59
  We'll get into that in just a moment, but first i'd like to
• 1:00
  say welcome to everyone joining us, especially if you're joining us for the very
• 1:04
  first time. Please go over to your Daily Portion dot com, pick up
• 1:08
  the Your Daily Portion book. Let us know where you are in the world
• 1:12
  and also join our online community at your Daily Portion dot com. This is
• 1:19
  a way, as I always say, for us to continue to build faith
• 1:23
  and fellowship. I just want to say, right here, just pause for
• 1:26
  a moment, a great, big, happy birthday to my wife, Simone.
• 1:30
  I'm thankful that you're still here. God has entrusted more time to you
• 1:37
  so you can continue to build in this world until Jesus comes. So I
• 1:41
  love you lots and I'm grateful that we're still together. Make it a great
• 1:47
  day. Let's go ahead and pray and then get under weigh. Father in
• 1:49
  heaven, thank you for this new day, for your love. Teach us
• 1:55
  your messages. Teach us to protect ourselves through the armor of God against the
• 2:04
  wiles of the devil, because he likes to confuse stuff. Please teach us
• 2:08
  to listen to your voice only in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and
• 2:14
  a men again the Three Angels messages. May I just say here another key,
• 2:20
  another key. These messages are all about becoming and remaining connected with God
• 2:28
  forever. That's what the Three Angels messages are about. Like becoming and remaining
• 2:34
  connected with God forever. If we don't get anything else, of course,
• 2:38
  it gives us a means by which we can do so, warnings against some
• 2:42
  things that happen on planet Earth and all of that. But it's about connecting
• 2:46
  with God and remaining connected with God. So we're going to begin with a
• 2:52
  question, how do the messages of the Three Angels mess of the Three Angels
• 2:55
  in Revelation chapter fourteen relate to our choices? Is about worship in these last
• 3:02
  days? Now? I know some people are running ahead and they're like,
• 3:06
  yes, it's about Sabbath versus Sunday, it's Sabbath versus Friday, or some
• 3:10
  other day that maybe somebody contrived and said that this is the time that is
• 3:15
  holy. It's more than It's more than that I said earlier. It's about
• 3:22
  relationships with God. And so when God says something simple like of there are
• 3:30
  so many things here in the garden Atam, there are some things in this
• 3:34
  garden, a lot of them. Right, you may freely eat of those
• 3:38
  trees in the garden. But there's just one of the many that I need
• 3:45
  you to refrain from eating. And in the day that you eat from that
• 3:50
  one, if I say me saying it now, God forbid that Adam should
• 3:54
  eat of it. You shall surely die, and then Eve and anybody else
• 4:00
  who would have been in the conversation if that were the way that it happened,
• 4:02
  right, And so what God is saying to us is that, yes,
• 4:06
  we worship him every day, but an indication of our worship is when
• 4:12
  we listen for his voice and do what he says. We worship every day.
• 4:16
  Of course, Monday morning we worship God. Today Thursday we worship God
• 4:21
  in the beauty of holiness. But there's only one time, one day,
• 4:25
  one holy day, one hollly day. Did I just say that one holid
• 4:30
  holy day? God sanctified the seventh day Sabbath. And if God says that
• 4:36
  this is sanctified for a holy use, if he said that this is a
• 4:43
  sign between him and his people that He is the one who sanctifies us,
• 4:48
  then why do we choose to forget it? You understand where I'm going with
• 4:51
  this. So we remember what God says to remember, yes, okay?
• 4:58
  And so in Revelation chapter four teen and verse seven, the Bible says saying,
• 5:00
  with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to him. That
• 5:04
  is, we want to reflect his character and manifest that to the world.
• 5:09
  Ah, for the hour of his judgment has come. We've spoken about that,
• 5:14
  and worship him that made the heaven and the earth, and the sea
• 5:18
  and the fountains of waters. I find it very interesting that this way that
• 5:24
  the message is communicated mirrors in some ways what God taught us in the Ten
• 5:30
  Commandments, when it says that he wants us to remember the Sabbath day to
• 5:35
  keep it holy. Sixth days, shalt thou labor and do all thy work.
• 5:39
  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, thy God.
• 5:43
  In it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son, nor thy
• 5:46
  daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor
• 5:50
  thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made
• 5:56
  the heavens and the earth. Wait a minute, there we go again with
• 5:58
  his creatorship, who made heaven and earth, the sea in the springs of
• 6:01
  order. In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea,
• 6:04
  and all that in them is. And on the seventh day, our God
• 6:09
  he rested, and he wants us to also to rest with him. He
• 6:15
  rested. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day. And what else did he
• 6:19
  do brothers and sisters. According to Exodus chapter twenty, verses eight three eleven,
• 6:25
  he made it holy. He made it holy. How can I say
• 6:29
  that something that God made holy is not holy? I think Peter was given
• 6:33
  that discussion when God told him to go to the Gentiles and to teach the
• 6:38
  gospel. Yes, he said that you know what I call holy, you
• 6:44
  must not call unholy. He was talking about people, okay. And so
• 6:49
  God made the time holy and he wants us to deepen our reverence and worship
• 6:55
  for him. He is separating us from others. He is making it clear.
• 7:00
  As he said in the Book of Malachi, chapter three, the closing
• 7:03
  verses, he said, I'm going to basically draw a line in the sand,
• 7:06
  and I'm going to show who are my people in verses who are not
• 7:14
  my people? Align my life is what I'm saying to me today. I
• 7:18
  hope you're saying it to you. Align my life with the Divine principles and
• 7:24
  His commandments. I think the Bible teaches us in Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight,
• 7:28
  beginning at verse one all the way to verse fourteen, that those who keep
• 7:33
  his laws, his statutes, his judgments. There's blessing, blessing, blessing,
• 7:38
  blessing, blessing, to the point that it can overwhelm us in a
• 7:40
  good way. And for those who choose to turn our backs on God and
• 7:45
  his truths and what He has taught us, and his statutes, his judgments,
• 7:47
  his commandments, then there is the commensurate cursing. And it's like,
• 7:51
  well, why would you tell me that? Right here, Dave, because
• 7:55
  God said it. I'm just repeating what God said. I'm repeating what God
• 7:58
  said. And so here is another thought from Revelation, chapter fourteen and verse
• 8:03
  eight, and the Bible reads, and there followed another angel saying, Babylon
• 8:07
  is fallen. It's fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of
• 8:13
  the wine of the wrath of her fornication. So that angel is teaching us
• 8:18
  that all of confusion has been exposed, spiritual confusion, all of people trying
• 8:24
  to find a way to make an artificial way into the presence of God,
• 8:30
  like those who built the tower at Babel, confusion and the artificial connection with
• 8:35
  God. The jig is up. Like the jig is up, God is
• 8:39
  saying to his people that we cannot ignore his truth and still say that we
• 8:46
  are as people. I say it just another way. When God teaches us
• 8:50
  that his law is holy, is just, and is good. The truth
• 8:56
  is that I'm carnal, sold under sin, and therefore I need a savior
• 9:03
  who will rescue me from this body of death. And then I thank God,
• 9:07
  why because he is the one who can transform my life and then put
• 9:11
  me in a position where there is no more condemnation when I'm in Christ Jesus,
• 9:16
  because I walk no longer according to the flesh, but according to the
• 9:20
  spirit. Well, what does that have to do with us in these last
• 9:22
  days? Here is the patience of the saints. The Bible says, here
• 9:26
  are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. He's
• 9:30
  given each of us a measure of faith. He is the author and finisher
• 9:35
  of our faith, and those who are faithful to God, those who love
• 9:37
  Him will accept his power to keep his commandments, including the fourth one.
• 9:45
  Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread
• 9:48
  alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:52
  has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
