Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

- 0:31Speaker 1: author speaker Elle David Harris.

- 0:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
- 0:43Speaker 2: where we give you God's Word every single day and
- 0:46Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
- 0:49Speaker 2: study series themes in the Gospel of John, and our
- 0:53Speaker 2: caption for today is the Father, Son and Spirit. I
- 0:56Speaker 2: will say the Holy Spirit, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I am excited to get into this, but before we do,
- 1:05Speaker 2: I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
- 1:07Speaker 2: to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Please join our online community. Let us know where you
- 1:13Speaker 2: are in the world. At your Daily Portion dot com.
- 1:16Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
- 1:19Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and
- 1:23Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you
- 1:26Speaker 2: for giving us this day and opportunity to serve you. Father.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Please give us your mindset, Please teach us your will,
- 1:35Speaker 2: teach us the love that you have for us, and
- 1:38Speaker 2: unity in heaven. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and
- 1:44Speaker 2: Amen again. You know it just hit me while I
- 1:47Speaker 2: was praying that I need to go back to the
- 1:49Speaker 2: Bible Book of Deuteronomy, the Bible Book of Deuteronomy, chapter six,
- 1:54Speaker 2: and I will read beginning at verse four Deuteronomy chapter six,
- 1:59Speaker 2: and I will read beginning at verse four, and the
- 2:03Speaker 2: Bible reads and what we call the Sama shama here
- 2:08Speaker 2: o Israel. The Lord our God is one lord, one lord.
- 2:16Speaker 2: The term one is in Hebrew. This time it matters,
- 2:20Speaker 2: This time, it matters. Ecoud will come back to that
- 2:24Speaker 2: one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
- 2:28Speaker 2: with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with
- 2:34Speaker 2: all thy might. Let me go back, all go all
- 2:37Speaker 2: the way to verse seven. And these words which I
- 2:41Speaker 2: command thee this day shall be in thine heart, and
- 2:45Speaker 2: thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall
- 2:49Speaker 2: talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
- 2:53Speaker 2: when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and when thou risest up. Let me go one more,
- 3:00Speaker 2: one more verse verse eight, And thou shalt bind them
- 3:03Speaker 2: for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be
- 3:06Speaker 2: as front lets between thine eyes. And so God wants
- 3:11Speaker 2: his word. He wants his character stamp to be in
- 3:14Speaker 2: our hand and in our forehead. I said, in our hand,
- 3:18Speaker 2: it says in verse eight. For they shall bind them
- 3:22Speaker 2: for a sign upon thine hand, and then shall they
- 3:26Speaker 2: be as front lets between thine eyes. So what we
- 3:30Speaker 2: do with our hands, Oh, be careful, little hands, what
- 3:34Speaker 2: you do? And then frontlets between thine eyes where the
- 3:38Speaker 2: seat of intelligence is. God wants us to think and
- 3:42Speaker 2: to do according to his good pleasure. Did you get that?
- 3:47Speaker 2: I know my camera's blinking. It's hot in this room.
- 3:50Speaker 2: God wants us to think, to have the mindset, and
- 3:56Speaker 2: to do of his good pleasure. Can I say it
- 3:59Speaker 2: just one more time? A different way. God wants us
- 4:01Speaker 2: to have the will he gives us both the will
- 4:05Speaker 2: in our conscience, our understanding, our intelligence, between our eyes
- 4:12Speaker 2: in our forehead. He gives us both to will and
- 4:16Speaker 2: to do of His good pleasure. See Shama. Shama is
- 4:20Speaker 2: for us to hear and to do of God's words. Shama,
- 4:26Speaker 2: to hear and to do are the same thing in
- 4:29Speaker 2: God's sight. Now, I used a word in Hebrew caude,
- 4:33Speaker 2: which the word one comes from in verse four, and
- 4:38Speaker 2: that is teaching us so much. It's teaching us so much.
- 4:42Speaker 2: But among the things that is teaching us is that
- 4:45Speaker 2: the Lord, our God is unified in all things that
- 4:50Speaker 2: matter in eternity. God is unified one in our in
- 4:56Speaker 2: the plan of salvation to save us from our sins.
- 4:59Speaker 2: They are one in power. The mindset of God is
- 5:05Speaker 2: together at all times, all together. And I'm thankful that
- 5:09Speaker 2: God gave us that particular picture there because we see
- 5:15Speaker 2: the love of God for us, and how we are
- 5:18Speaker 2: privileged to love God, the Father, God, the Son God,
- 5:23Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. We're going to drill this a lot
- 5:26Speaker 2: this week, but let me go now to the to
- 5:28Speaker 2: where the lesson writer would have us go in John
- 5:30Speaker 2: chapter fourteen and verse twenty six. I hope you are
- 5:33Speaker 2: getting this God has revealed himself as unified. They have
- 5:39Speaker 2: revealed themselves as unified. Three distinct beings, the Father, the Son,
- 5:47Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit unified, however, and so of the Holy Ghost.
- 5:52Speaker 2: The Bible reads the Helper the Holy Spirit, whom the
- 5:55Speaker 2: Father will send in my name. He will teach you
- 5:59Speaker 2: what all things, and bring to your remembrance all things
- 6:04Speaker 2: what that I said to you. So Father sends Jesus,
- 6:08Speaker 2: God the Son. Huh. And the Holy Spirit brings understanding
- 6:13Speaker 2: awareness remembrance of all that God the Son has taught us.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Now I'm going to read it from two more Bible versions,
- 6:20Speaker 2: King James first. But the comforter, See, the Bible is
- 6:25Speaker 2: teaching us that this is the other self like the
- 6:28Speaker 2: Helper of Jesus. In this regard the comforter, which is
- 6:33Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name.
- 6:37Speaker 2: You see the unity there.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Huh.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He shall teach you all things and bring all things
- 6:45Speaker 2: to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. You see.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Sometimes the messaging is off, like people mix up in
- 6:52Speaker 2: our minds who God really is. Sometimes we disrespect God
- 6:57Speaker 2: and commit sacrilege by the power and value of the Son,
- 7:03Speaker 2: diminishing the power and the value of the Holy Ghost,
- 7:07Speaker 2: and diminishing the power and the value of God our Father.
- 7:11Speaker 2: And he is saying that through the power Jesus is saying,
- 7:14Speaker 2: through the power of the Holy Ghost, the one who
- 7:17Speaker 2: will represent me in this situation, that God our Father
- 7:21Speaker 2: has sent He's going to teach you and cause you
- 7:24Speaker 2: to remember the stuff that I have been teaching you. Okay,
- 7:27Speaker 2: and now in the new English translation, but the advocate,
- 7:30Speaker 2: so we have helper, we have comforter, we have advocate.
- 7:34Speaker 2: These are all very very good words and accurate regarding
- 7:38Speaker 2: the agency of the Holy Ghost. But the advocate, the
- 7:41Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
- 7:45Speaker 2: will teach you everything and will cause you. I like
- 7:48Speaker 2: that word, cause he will cause you to remember everything
- 7:54Speaker 2: I said to you. So when you feel lonely, the
- 7:58Speaker 2: Holy Ghost will remind you that Jesus said He'll be
- 8:00Speaker 2: with you alway, even unto the end of the earth.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Huh ah. When you feel like you don't understand, the
- 8:07Speaker 2: Holy Ghost will help you to remember that Jesus said
- 8:10Speaker 2: that the Holy Spirit would guide you into all truth
- 8:14Speaker 2: you understand. And so I like the divine com cooperation.
- 8:19Speaker 2: But the question is in our couple of moments. I've
- 8:22Speaker 2: said it to you, but let's drill it some more.
- 8:25Speaker 2: What is the purpose the divine connection? For what purpose?
- 8:29Speaker 2: And of course that is to save us from our sins.
- 8:32Speaker 2: And so we see in John chapter ten and verse
- 8:34Speaker 2: thirty a unified purpose in salvation. Jesus said, I and
- 8:38Speaker 2: the Father are one. I and the Father are one,
- 8:43Speaker 2: a unity, a unified purpose in our salvation. In John
- 8:48Speaker 2: chapter one and verse eighteen, the Bible reads, no one
- 8:51Speaker 2: has ever seen God, meaning the Father, only God who
- 8:55Speaker 2: is at the Father's side, the only God who is
- 8:58Speaker 2: at the Father's side. He has made him known. So
- 9:02Speaker 2: Jesus is the revelation, the revelation of all that is God,
- 9:07Speaker 2: our Father, all that is the Godhead. Okay, the revelation
- 9:12Speaker 2: comes through Jesus Christ, the Son. I wish I had
- 9:16Speaker 2: the time. And then, of course the Holy Spirit. We
- 9:18Speaker 2: already read about the role or at least part of
- 9:22Speaker 2: the role of the Holy Spirit in John fourteen and
- 9:25Speaker 2: verse twenty six. And then we have the intercessory work
- 9:29Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ and God our Father sending the Holy
- 9:33Speaker 2: Ghost and the mission and empowerment that comes through all
- 9:38Speaker 2: Father's son and Holy Spirit. I can't wait to drill
- 9:41Speaker 2: this some more. But they are unified for the purpose
- 9:44Speaker 2: of saving you. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
- 9:50Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
- 9:53Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yeah,
