03 15 2024 All Things New! · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  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.
• 0:34
  It is Friday, March fifteen, twenty twenty four. Hello, my
• 0:39
  name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day and today is no
• 0:47
  exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series through the Book of Psalms,
• 0:51
  and our caption for today is all Things New, All Things New.
• 0:58
  We'll get into that, and just a moment before we do, I'd just
• 1:02
  like to say happy, Happy Preparation day to everyone listening or watching wherever you
• 1:07
  happen to be in the world, and I'm asking you to go over to
• 1:08

• 1:26
  then we will get underway. Father and Heaven. Thank you for this new
• 1:30
  day and for the privilege we have to open up your word. As I
• 1:34
  say always, please make us anew in Jesus' name, I pray, Amen
• 1:41
  and Amen again, all things new. All right, So we are going
• 1:47
  to read from the book Great Controversy, page six hundred and seventy seven,
• 1:52
  and then open up the word. Okay, and so the quote goes this
• 1:57
  way, there immortal minds will contemplate with never failing delight, the wonders of
• 2:05
  creative power, the mysteries of redeeming love. Okay. There is no cruel,
• 2:13
  deceiving foe to tempt to forgetfulness of God. So let me just say
• 2:19
  when God created the heavens and the earth right, and then of course we're
• 2:23
  focusing on the earth part. And Adam and Eve were in the garden of
• 2:27
  Eden. I don't know if you want to call it the capital of the
• 2:30
  world, but it was the capital probably in my mind, that's how I
• 2:34
  see it. The capital of the world, capital of the earth. And
• 2:37
  so that was their home. And the devil was allowed in one spot to
• 2:45
  tempt them, just one spot, at the tree of the knowledge of good
• 2:50
  and evil. And so even in a perfect environment, where relationship with God
• 2:58
  and humanity was perfect, the enemy was allowed to lurk just for a prescribed
• 3:05
  amount of time. And in that moment, Eve decided to follow what the
• 3:10
  serpent said and then pass along to Adam. And then Adam listened to Eve,
• 3:16
  and then the rest is history. And so there there was a failing
• 3:22
  delight because Adam chose to sin. You see, the wonders of creative power
• 3:28
  started to dim in the minds of humanity. Why because humans decided to sin.
• 3:34
  But when God does this again, I want you to look forward to
• 3:38
  the day when God creates or recreates this earth. It's called the Earth made
• 3:43
  new. Yes, in the Holy City New Jerusalem will come down from God
• 3:46
  out of Heaven. And then at the appropriate time, once God has cleansed
• 3:52
  and then recreates the earth, that Holy City will set in the new Earth
• 3:58
  that will be again the capital of this world. There, let me read
• 4:04
  it again. Immortal minds will contemplate with never ending delight, the wonders of
• 4:11
  creative power, the mysteries of redeeming love. There is no cruel, deceiving
• 4:15
  foe to tempt to forgetfulness of God. No one to say, yea have
• 4:19
  God said and then insinuate doubt. Ah. No one to say, if
• 4:24
  ye be the son of God, then do this thing that is actually ungodly
• 4:28
  you see. No one to tempt you to shut off this program and say,
• 4:31
  but this doesn't sound like anything that I've not heard before. Ah.
• 4:35
  But you want to be in the presence of God. And there are people
• 4:39
  all over the world listening and watching now. And God said, whether two
• 4:44
  or three are gathered together in God's name, he is in the midst of
• 4:48
  us. Ah. No one to tempt you to think that God is not
• 4:53
  listening, because after all, I've tried everything that you people keep asking me
• 4:57
  to do, and I still feel like God is not listening to me.
• 5:00
  No more foe to tempt us to forget what great things God has done for
• 5:05
  us. Continuing the quote, every faculty will be developed, every capacity increased.
• 5:14
  The acquirement of knowledge will not weary the mind or exhaust the energies.
• 5:18
  There, the grandest enterprises may be carried forward, the loftiest aspirations reached,
• 5:28
  the highest ambitions realized. And still there will arise new heights to surmount,
• 5:34
  new wonders, to admire new truths, to comprehend fresh objects, to call
• 5:40
  forth the powers of the mind and soul and body. That is the end
• 5:46
  of the quote. Yes, have you ever felt like a caged bird,
• 5:49
  as a caged lion? And you feel like your potential has been limited by
• 5:56
  various factors? And I'm not saying that we are limited inasmuch as our human
• 6:02
  capacity can accept. But beyond this is what we're talking about, Beyond what
• 6:09
  we're able to do now. Like now, I have to actually rest.
• 6:12
  I go to bed most of the time at eight pm, and then I
• 6:15
  get up bright and early, well I can't even say bright because it's still
• 6:17
  dark outside, but early in the morning three am, and I'm back at
• 6:21
  it again. I'm with you, I am with coaching clients, I am
• 6:26
  doing whatever I need to do to make an impact on the world for christ
• 6:30
  Ah. But then I have to eat. I have to rest again.
• 6:32
  I have to go to sleep at night and rinse and repeat, and your
• 6:36
  story is very similar to mine. What we're saying here is even where you
• 6:42
  can achieve your greatest capacity as a human, there are still things like tiredness
• 6:48
  and sickness, and the fact that there are things in the environment that will
• 6:53
  impact us that we cannot control. Neither can we resist. We have to
• 6:59
  exercise, we have to eat right, drink clear and pure water, softer
• 7:03
  the better, and so forth and so on. But there, over there,
• 7:09
  there will be no more sin, There will be no more sickness.
• 7:12
  There will be no more limitations, no more need for currency ha, no
• 7:15
  more have or have not disparity, no more orphans ha, no more widows
• 7:20
  and widowers, no more people who are feeling like they cannot connect with God.
• 7:26
  Why because he said that he will be with them and be their god.
• 7:29
  Ha. He said that he will set himself in the midst of her
• 7:34
  his people. And I'm looking forward to the day. I'm looking forward to
• 7:39
  the day all things new. And for people who are thinking we're going to
• 7:43
  just hit the reset button and go back to the time Ah that Adam and
• 7:46
  Eve lived on planet Earth, that means you would have missed the point where
• 7:50
  Adam and Eve failed and did not continue to grow in perfection. We will
• 7:58
  continue to grow in perfection throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. We will finally
• 8:07
  live in the way that God intended from before there was a beginning. You
• 8:11
  see what I'm saying, all right? And so in the Book of Isaiah,
• 8:13
  and I'd like for you to read the entire chapter in your spare time,
• 8:18
  we see something very clear. Beginning at verse one. Listen to me,
• 8:20
  you who pursue godliness, who seek the Lord. Look at the rock
• 8:24
  from which you were chiseled and the quarry from which you were doug. Look
• 8:30
  at Abraham, your father, and Sarah, who gave birth to you.
• 8:33
  When I summoned you. He was lone individual, but I blessed him and
• 8:37
  gave him numerous descendants. And then the discussion continues and continues to see that
• 8:45
  God has kept his promise. He promised to Abraham that he would make of
• 8:50
  him a great nation, an innumerable multitude, like the sands by the seashore,
• 8:56
  like the stars in the sky. Those who say yes to God and
• 9:01
  keep covenant with God, they are the children of God with the same kind
• 9:07
  of faith that God gave to Abraham. And guess what we become recipients of
• 9:13
  the same promise that God made to Father Abraham. And I'm so grateful.
• 9:18
  I'm so grateful that again there will be no limits on love. There will
• 9:22
  be no limits on our potential, there will be no limits on our energy,
• 9:28
  no limits on the amount of what we will learn about God, because
• 9:33
  why, all things will be new. In the meantime, God wants us
• 9:37
  to live to our fullest potential and beyond. Have a wonderful day, peace.
• 9:45
  Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by
• 9:48
  bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
• 9:52
  This has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great
• 9:56
  day. Yeah,
