• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22

  Speaker 2: July twenty six, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is

  Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

  Speaker 2: in our Lesson study series with lesson number five through
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today is Passover.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Pass Over. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: but before we do, I like to say welcome to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you and ask you to go over to your Daily
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Portion dot com. Please please join our online community and

• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: we thank you for this day. Thank you for loving
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: us enough to give us the antidote for sin. Thank
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you for loving us enough to bring us into your fold,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: into your community, into your heart, into fellowship with you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and other people who also love you. Please please help
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: us to get the full benefit and be covered under
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the blood. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: again passover. Now. Of course I'm thinking about a song
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: pass me not o, gentle Savior, here my humble cry,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: while on others thou art calling please please do not
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: pass me by. And so today that is not that
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is not the context that we have this time. We
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: want God to pass us over, uh he. We want
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: him to pass us over when when when condemnation is afoot,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We want him to pass us over, when destruction is afoot.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We want God to pass us over like pass over us,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like skip us. We want we want to be in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: under the banner of safety, under the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And when when these judgments are being meeted out upon
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the earth for people who hated love for people who
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: decided that God is not good enough to be in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a relationship with When when those judgments are meeted out,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: we want God to pass us over. He wants we
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: want him to see us as protected and not those
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: who need to be unfortunately destroyed. It is what it
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: is like. The reality is that some people would rather
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: be destroyed than to be in a good relationship with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: God submitting to his will. But before I go too
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: far into that, let me just go ahead and jump
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: in and let's get some lessons. Let's get some lessons.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about passover some more a few days in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the future if the Lord spaars life. Okay, So our
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: first lesson is coming in from Exodus chapter twenty Exodus
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve, verses twenty six and twenty seven. And I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: will read it. I will read it for you, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it shall come to pass when your children shall say,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: unto you, what mean ye by this service? So we
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: know now that we are now commemorating the passover time
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with a service that ye shall say it is the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: sacrifice of the Lord's passover. So when God gives you
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a word, honor it in obedience. So how am I
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: supposed to show my children this. Here's a word for you,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: honor that. How am I supposed to experience you through
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: my marriage? Here is a word, honor that. How am
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I supposed to have the secrets to success in my
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: business or my professional life? Here is a word, live
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: by it. How am I supposed to amend my ways? God,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: where my relationship with you is concerned. I've made so
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: many mistakes, even after I've promised to do what you say.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Here is a word I want you to honor that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: with obedience. And so God's people had the privilege. They
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: had the privilege even though they were stiff necked, even
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: though they murmured against God, even though there are so
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: many things that God really literally could have destroyed them for.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But he said, because I made a promise to Abraham,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Isaac and Jacob. I promised them that I would take
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: my people into the land of promise. Yeah, I we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: had the time to deal with that. But let me
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: just pause right there. I'm going to have compassion on
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: them and when it's now time to deliver them from
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Egyptian captivity. And I have already meeted out my judgments
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in the form of nine plagues. This final one is
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: going to be the death knew this is the final
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: one because the pharaoh and people who were who were
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: sympathetic toward that particular pharaoh, they chose not to love love,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they chose not to repent no matter what I did,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: God speaking, And therefore it's time for the final thrust.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And here is the final thrust. The death Angel is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: going to come through and do a lot of damage
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to the people who have chosen unrepentant. And so this
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: is what you need to do. You need to go
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: into your houses. You need to get the blood of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the prescribed innocent animal, and I need you to apply
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that blood over the lintel and the door posts a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: certain way. He gave them the specific method to show
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that they would rather be in relationship with God than
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to continue to murmur, to continue to turn their backs
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on Him, to continue to harden their hearts, to continue
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to worship false gods. They would rather be in communion
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: with God. I know what I just said. There, communion
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: with God, then to continue along the pathway that they
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: were already on. And so the people of God and
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: some Egyptians went into the homes did exactly what God said,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and they were safe on that fate full night. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: so when God gives you a word, honor it in obedience.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Teach the next generation what His mercy saved you from.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: The second lesson from Exodus, chapter eleven and verse five,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and it reads in all the first born in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: land of Egypt unfortunately, I say unfortunately because they did
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: not need to have that happen to them. But at
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: this moment, it was the choice they made. They will die.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Careful who your leaders are. That's not even the lesson,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: This is a bonus. Careful who you align yourself with
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and allie yourself with, because sometimes the leaders will guide
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you to destruction. Sometimes your leaders are leaders will guide
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: us toward destruction. Be careful who you choose as your leader.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But here is the actual lesson. One person's disobedience can
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: cause national tragedy. I said, one person's disobedience can cause
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: or create national tragedy. So what is the action step
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: if you're in a leadership role. Now we're not looking
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: out work, We're looking at ourselves in the home, in
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the church, or workplace. Take your obedience to God seriously.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Lives may hang in the balance, they may be weighed
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: in the balance based on somewhat your leadership. Number three
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and final, we're going into the Bible Book of Philippians,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: chapter two, in verse thirteen. Ah. Yes, for it is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: God which worketh in you, both to will and to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: do of his good pleasure. Work out your own salvation
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: with fear and trembling. And by the way, God is
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: not leaving you alone. He's not leaving you alone. He's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: giving you the power of His Holy Spirit to desire
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to do the right thing and then actually live out
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the right pathway, the right steps, the right strategy, the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: right tactics, the right behaviors. And of course he's transforming
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: our minds in the right way, both to will and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to do of his good pleasure. And here is the step,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: when the pressure is high and the consequences are real, lean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I said, lean, lean on God's strength to do what
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you cannot do alone, what you cannot do by yourself.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: When everything seems the car the deck seems to be
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: stocked against you, you seem to be on the losing side.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: In the moment, your mind and or emotions have gone
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: down a slope and you're like, God, what am I
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: supposed to do? Yeah, that's the moment that you lean
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: on God for his strength to do what only God
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: can help you to do. Yeah, Passover. We'll talk about
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: it some more in the next few days. Make it
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a great day. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
