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
- 0:07Speaker 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.

- 0:59Speaker 2: or our triune God, our triune God. I know that

- 1:57Speaker 2: to Your Daily Portion Ministries, because we are a listener
- 2:01Speaker 2: and viewer-supported ministry. Let's go ahead and pray, and then
- 2:07Speaker 2: get underway. Father, we thank You for giving us a
- 2:10Speaker 2: peek into who You are. Help us to approach as usual,
- 2:17Speaker 2: but God, even Even more so, though, Lord, help us
- 2:20Speaker 2: to approach this subject with reverence because you're holy. In
- 2:25Speaker 2: Jesus' name I pray, amen and amen again. I'm thinking
- 2:31Speaker 2: of the song that's called He's Intentional or Intentional. All
- 2:36Speaker 2: things are working for my good. That's what the songwriter said.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Because he's intentional, never changing, meaning God. He is intentional, intentional.
- 2:47Speaker 2: never changing. And one thing about his intentionality is the
- 2:51Speaker 2: revelation of who God is. Father, Son, Holy Spirit working
- 2:58Speaker 2: together for our salvation. And the unity they share is
- 3:03Speaker 2: the model and the power behind every genuine unity the
- 3:09Speaker 2: church is called to display. Yeah, I think of the
- 3:13Speaker 2: time when Jesus was being baptized in the Jordan River.
- 3:18Speaker 2: And the Bible says that there was a voice from
- 3:21Speaker 2: heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I
- 3:26Speaker 2: am well pleased. So from heaven, we have this this
- 3:29Speaker 2: voice coming, and it's the Father's voice. We see already
- 3:32Speaker 2: very clearly with John and those who are looking on,
- 3:36Speaker 2: Jesus is in the Jordan River. So we have the Father,
- 3:39Speaker 2: ah yes, and we have the Son in the Jordan
- 3:43Speaker 2: River now. And then the Bible says that the one
- 3:47Speaker 2: looking like a dove in bodily form, lights upon Jesus.
- 3:52Speaker 2: And this is the Holy Spirit showing a manifestation of,
- 3:57Speaker 2: I will say, peace, showing a manifestation of what the
- 4:01Speaker 2: Father said, where his approval is clearly seen and lights
- 4:05Speaker 2: upon Jesus. And the Bible says that the Holy Ghost
- 4:08Speaker 2: fills Jesus, and then he goes into the wilderness and
- 4:12Speaker 2: is tempted of the devil. So we see the Father
- 4:15Speaker 2: in heaven. Jesus Christ, the Son, in the Jordan River,
- 4:18Speaker 2: and then the Holy Spirit descending in bodily form as
- 4:22Speaker 2: He chose to be manifest and lights upon Jesus. Three
- 4:27Speaker 2: different beings, three different beings, although every one of them holy,
- 4:33Speaker 2: although every one of them all-powerful, blessed be the name
- 4:35Speaker 2: of God, although every one of them having existed throughout
- 4:40Speaker 2: eternity past and will continue to exist forever, Throughout eternity
- 4:44Speaker 2: future and all of them working for our good. I
- 4:48Speaker 2: wish I had the time, but I don't. So let's
- 4:50Speaker 2: run forward to Galatians chapter four. I hope you have
- 4:53Speaker 2: your thinking caps on. That's what they used to say
- 4:55Speaker 2: to us in the 70s and 80s in school. Let's
- 4:58Speaker 2: go forward. Now, the Bible reads beginning at verse 4,
- 5:01Speaker 2: Galatians chapter 4, but when the fullness of time was come,
- 5:05Speaker 2: what time? The time of the prophecies where God showed
- 5:11Speaker 2: how Jesus would show up when Messiah would appear and
- 5:15Speaker 2: the anointing would happen in his life later on in
- 5:19Speaker 2: that part of the story. But But the Bible says
- 5:22Speaker 2: when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth
- 5:25Speaker 2: his son made of a woman. So now this virgin
- 5:29Speaker 2: birth phenomenon that comes only through the Holy Ghost happens,
- 5:34Speaker 2: made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them,
- 5:38Speaker 2: which are under the law. So Jesus Christ took on
- 5:40Speaker 2: human form in order to save you, brothers and sisters,
- 5:44Speaker 2: in order to save me. And of course, that we
- 5:48Speaker 2: might receive the adoption of sons. And because we are sons,
- 5:52Speaker 2: meaning children of God, God hath sent forth the spirit
- 5:58Speaker 2: of his son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. And
- 6:03Speaker 2: so we see that this sending of the son means
- 6:07Speaker 2: to send out with authority and purpose. It wasn't just
- 6:11Speaker 2: that there was a visit. authority and purpose to commission
- 6:15Speaker 2: for a specific mission. So Paul uses this word for
- 6:19Speaker 2: both sending of the Son and sending of the Spirit.
- 6:23Speaker 2: The Father sends both, coordinating an entire plan of salvation
- 6:29Speaker 2: with sovereign, purposeful love. I wish I had the time
- 6:33Speaker 2: to break down Romans chapter 8, where it says, All
- 6:36Speaker 2: things work together for the good of those who are
- 6:39Speaker 2: the called according to his purpose. But let me just say,
- 6:42Speaker 2: we see the Father at work in Romans chapter 8.
- 6:45Speaker 2: We also see that we don't know what to pray
- 6:48Speaker 2: for as we ought, so the Holy Ghost moans in
- 6:51Speaker 2: groanings that cannot be uttered. That's two. And then we see,
- 6:55Speaker 2: who will bring a charge against my elect? It is
- 6:58Speaker 2: Christ that died.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Yay!
- 7:00Speaker 2: And is risen again, and is now at the right
- 7:03Speaker 2: hand of God our Father, or the right hand of power.
- 7:06Speaker 2: So we see that Jesus is working for our good.
- 7:09Speaker 2: So all of those together are working for your good.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Why?
- 7:13Speaker 2: Because God is intentional, never changing. That's what the Bible
- 7:17Speaker 2: actually teaches us. So shout to the songwriters that understood that.
- 7:22Speaker 2: And so in three verses, Paul traces the entire plan
- 7:26Speaker 2: of salvation together. through what we call triune, but the
- 7:31Speaker 2: God of heaven, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. The Father sourcing
- 7:35Speaker 2: the plan, the Son fulfilling the human flesh under the law,
- 7:39Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost sealing it with the human heart with
- 7:43Speaker 2: the cry of a child to a father. Every member
- 7:48Speaker 2: of the Godhead fully engaged to bring you home. Did
- 7:52Speaker 2: you hear and see the imagery when I said those words?
- 7:57Speaker 2: God wants to bring you home. You are the baby,
- 8:01Speaker 2: the one that we have been waiting for, that is
- 8:04Speaker 2: now fully ready to go home. The room has been prepared.
- 8:09Speaker 2: I heard that there are many good rooms in the kingdom.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I heard that Jesus is preparing a place for you.
- 8:14Speaker 2: And if he went home to prepare a place for you,
- 8:17Speaker 2: he promised that he will come again to receive you
- 8:20Speaker 2: unto himself, that where he is there, you may be also.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Even when he gives us the new earth as the
- 8:28Speaker 2: fulfillment of his promise that the meek will inherit the earth,
- 8:31Speaker 2: you will be with God. And so as a baby
- 8:33Speaker 2: is taken home into a loving experience, God has been
- 8:37Speaker 2: preparing for you, brothers and sisters. So So trace your
- 8:41Speaker 2: own salvation through what God has been doing in your
- 8:46Speaker 2: life today. Thank God, the Father, who planned it. Thank God,
- 8:51Speaker 2: the Son, who accomplished it. And thank God, the Holy Ghost,
- 8:55Speaker 2: who applies it to your heart every single day. And
- 8:58Speaker 2: let that gratitude be the grounding or the foundation for
- 9:04Speaker 2: your worship. I know I preached a lot this morning
- 9:07Speaker 2: in these few moments. Let me read a quote before
- 9:09Speaker 2: I let you go. Manuscript releases volume 7, page 267,
- 9:14Speaker 2: where we read, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the
- 9:17Speaker 2: three holy dignitaries of heaven, have declared that they will
- 9:22Speaker 2: strengthen men to overcome the powers of darkness. All the
- 9:27Speaker 2: facilities of heaven are pledged to cooperate with human effort
- 9:32Speaker 2: if human beings will but respond to the divine movement.
- 9:37Speaker 2: I am grateful that God loves you so much that
- 9:41Speaker 2: he gave his son. God gave his son and the
- 9:44Speaker 2: power of the Holy Ghost.
- 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 L. David Harris. Make it a great day.
