Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:08Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, September
- 0:35Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El
- 0:39Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
- 0:42Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
- 0:45Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
- 0:49Speaker 2: final week, in our final week of our lesson study
- 0:53Speaker 2: through the Book of Mark, and our caption for today
- 0:56Speaker 2: is rejoicing in the Resurrection. Rejoicing in the Resurrection. We'll
- 1:02Speaker 2: get into that in just a moment, but first I
- 1:04Speaker 2: would like to say thank you and welcome to everyone
- 1:07Speaker 2: joining us, especially those joining us for the very first time.
- 1:10Speaker 2: I know that there are many things that you could
- 1:13Speaker 2: be spending your time doing right now, but you're investing
- 1:16Speaker 2: your time with us. And I know that this is
- 1:19Speaker 2: one of the ways that we will continue to spread
- 1:22Speaker 2: the Gospel of the Kingdom, and it will be preached
- 1:25Speaker 2: into all the world for a witness. And then and
- 1:28Speaker 2: only then will the end come. So I thank God,
- 1:31Speaker 2: and hopefully you are grateful as well, and so we
- 1:35Speaker 2: can go ahead and pray and then get under way. Father,
- 1:38Speaker 2: we thank you for not leaving us alone but giving
- 1:41Speaker 2: us everything that we need so that we can be saved.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Thank you for saving us from our sins. Thank you
- 1:46Speaker 2: for saving us from our doubts and from every besetting
- 1:52Speaker 2: sin and every difficulty that has buffeted us in the
- 1:56Speaker 2: generations before us. We are looking forward to the day
- 1:59Speaker 2: that all of that will be over. But in the meantime,
- 2:02Speaker 2: we just give you, give you thanks, We give you
- 2:05Speaker 2: thanks on credit. We thank you now for what you
- 2:08Speaker 2: are going to do. And finally, when Jesus does come,
- 2:12Speaker 2: we will look up and say, Lord, this is what
- 2:15Speaker 2: we've been waiting for. Thank you for coming for us,
- 2:18Speaker 2: and you saving us. In Jesus's name, I pray, amen
- 2:22Speaker 2: and Amen again, rejoicing in the resurrection. I need you
- 2:26Speaker 2: to begin your time of rejoicing right here. If you've
- 2:29Speaker 2: not done so already, I need you to begin rejoicing
- 2:33Speaker 2: right now. I do not want you going into the
- 2:36Speaker 2: difficulties of your life, those thoughts that you have concerning
- 2:40Speaker 2: the challenges you have in your business, in your relationships,
- 2:44Speaker 2: in your health, in your personal development. I need you
- 2:48Speaker 2: to go into those places with God. I'm talking about
- 2:53Speaker 2: in your mind, your mindset. Go there with God and
- 2:56Speaker 2: begin to rejoice because Christ has risen. And when I
- 3:00Speaker 2: say that, I'm saying the Bible writer said, since Jesus
- 3:05Speaker 2: has been given to us by God, like he has
- 3:07Speaker 2: given unto us Jesus Christ, his son, how shall he
- 3:11Speaker 2: not also with him freely give us all things. We
- 3:15Speaker 2: thank God that there is nothing that we can need
- 3:18Speaker 2: that God cannot supply. Yes, and all of this is
- 3:23Speaker 2: purchased because of Jesus's sacrifice. And guess what, Jesus did
- 3:28Speaker 2: not remain dead. So if your hopes are dead, get
- 3:33Speaker 2: up with Jesus. If you are still dead in doubts,
- 3:36Speaker 2: wake up with Jesus. Yes, if you are still dead
- 3:41Speaker 2: and wondering if you can be saved, wake up with Jesus.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm saying that He has given us the power of
- 3:47Speaker 2: the resurrection in order to deliver us from everything that
- 3:52Speaker 2: would separate us from Him. And so I read now
- 3:55Speaker 2: from the Bible Book of Mark, chapter fifteen, beginning at
- 3:58Speaker 2: verse forty two. And now when the even was come,
- 4:01Speaker 2: because it was the preparation, that is, the day before
- 4:05Speaker 2: the Sabbath, Joseph of Aramathy, and honorable counselor, which also
- 4:10Speaker 2: waited for the Kingdom of God, came and went in
- 4:17Speaker 2: boldly unto Pilot and craved the body of Jesus. And
- 4:20Speaker 2: Pilot marveled if he were ready already dead, and calling
- 4:25Speaker 2: unto him the Centurion, he asked him whether he had
- 4:28Speaker 2: been a while dead. And when he knew of it,
- 4:32Speaker 2: the centurion he of the Centurion, he gave the body
- 4:37Speaker 2: of gave the body of Joseph to Joseph, excuse me,
- 4:41Speaker 2: and he bought fine linen and took it down, took
- 4:44Speaker 2: him down and wrapped him in the linen, and laid
- 4:48Speaker 2: him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock,
- 4:52Speaker 2: and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher.
- 4:56Speaker 2: And Mary and Magdalene the Mother, and Mary Magdalene and
- 5:01Speaker 2: Mary the mother of josephs beheld where he was laid.
- 5:05Speaker 2: My mind is racing a million miles a moment. That's
- 5:07Speaker 2: what's going wrong here. Chapter one of chapter sixteen of
- 5:13Speaker 2: and verse one. And when the Sabbath was passed, Mary
- 5:17Speaker 2: Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salomi had
- 5:20Speaker 2: brought sweet spices that they might come and anoint him.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Why were they going to the tomb to anoint Jesus.
- 5:27Speaker 2: He's not going to be there, sisters, He's not going
- 5:31Speaker 2: to be there. And very early in the morning on
- 5:33Speaker 2: the first day of the week, they came unto the
- 5:36Speaker 2: sepulcher at the rising of the sun, and they said
- 5:39Speaker 2: among themselves, who shall roll away the stone from the
- 5:43Speaker 2: door of the suppulcher? Why are you looking for a
- 5:45Speaker 2: stone to be there? Sisters? Let me just continue to
- 5:49Speaker 2: ask the question. And when they looked, they saw that
- 5:52Speaker 2: the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.
- 5:55Speaker 2: And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man,
- 5:59Speaker 2: that man obviously was an angel, sitting on the right side,
- 6:03Speaker 2: clothed in a long white garment, and they were affrighted,
- 6:08Speaker 2: and he said, unto them, don't be afraid. You seek
- 6:11Speaker 2: Jesus of Nazareth, which was past tense crucified. He is
- 6:15Speaker 2: right now, present, tense risen. He is not here. Behold
- 6:20Speaker 2: the place where they laid him. I need you to
- 6:24Speaker 2: behold the place where your hope was dead. I need
- 6:31Speaker 2: you to behold the place where your doubts had prevailed
- 6:36Speaker 2: over you. I want you to behold the place. I
- 6:39Speaker 2: want you to behold the place and look at where
- 6:43Speaker 2: you were sick, where your brother, your sister, your spouse,
- 6:49Speaker 2: your wife, your husband had died. I need you to
- 6:53Speaker 2: go to the place where you had lost hope. And
- 6:57Speaker 2: I want you to know that if if you will
- 7:00Speaker 2: yield your will to God, and I'm speaking to myself,
- 7:04Speaker 2: where you have fully submitted yourself to God and are
- 7:08Speaker 2: allowing Him to live his life within you, then you
- 7:11Speaker 2: can be raised. Your faith can be lifted up right.
- 7:15Speaker 2: The pain of all of the agony of disease that
- 7:17Speaker 2: you have suffered in the past can be removed. You
- 7:21Speaker 2: can have hope again. You can just dispel dispense with doubt.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Now you can be one of God's children, even though
- 7:32Speaker 2: you are thinking about the many things that you have
- 7:34Speaker 2: done wrong. Can God? Can God forgive me too? Yes?
- 7:38Speaker 2: I want you to look in that place where all
- 7:42Speaker 2: of the things that you thought were in the way
- 7:45Speaker 2: between your soul and your savior, and I want you
- 7:49Speaker 2: now to yield to him and say, God, I apologize,
- 7:54Speaker 2: Will you please forgive me, and you talk to him
- 7:56Speaker 2: about the things that have separated you, and know by
- 8:01Speaker 2: faith that because Jesus has risen, because he is no
- 8:04Speaker 2: longer in the tomb, because Jesus even now is ministering
- 8:08Speaker 2: in the heavenly sanctuary on your behalf, so you can
- 8:12Speaker 2: be saved. I want you to thank God and say, Okay,
- 8:17Speaker 2: I surrender my will to you. Thank you for the
- 8:20Speaker 2: power of the resurrection in my business. Thank you for
- 8:24Speaker 2: the power of resurrection in my personal development life. Thank
- 8:29Speaker 2: you for the power of resurrection in my relationship life,
- 8:34Speaker 2: in my spirituality, my holiness life. Thank you for the
- 8:37Speaker 2: power of resurrection in my life as a whole. And
- 8:41Speaker 2: then we read now in Colossians chapter two, beginning at
- 8:44Speaker 2: verse ten, and you have been filled in Him who
- 8:50Speaker 2: is the head over every ruler and authority. In Him,
- 8:54Speaker 2: you also were circumcised, not however, with a circumcision performed
- 8:59Speaker 2: by a human hand, but by the removal of the
- 9:02Speaker 2: fleshly body, that is, through the circumcision done by Christ.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Having been buried with him in baptism. You see if
- 9:11Speaker 2: you have been buried with him in baptism, in which
- 9:15Speaker 2: also you were raised with him through faith in the
- 9:19Speaker 2: powerful working of God who raised him from the dead.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Since Jesus is alive today, you can live eternally. You see,
- 9:31Speaker 2: you need to rejoice today, knowing that there is nothing
- 9:35Speaker 2: in your past that can keep you down if you
- 9:38Speaker 2: will be raised with Christ by faith. So give him
- 9:42Speaker 2: your life today. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
