• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

• 1:02

  Speaker 2: for giving us this new day and for giving us
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a way to peer into the experience that your people
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: had with Jesus and vice versa. Please help us to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: glean glean how a relationship with you really looks, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to begin to live in a holy lifestyle. In Jesus' name,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and a man again. If you were
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to meet Jesus anywhere, I'm saying anywhere in the universe.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Is it at your favorite park? Is it at a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: hotel cafe where you use the internet? I don't know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: where would you meet Jesus? Is it at the gym?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Along the road? Would he be a passenger in your taxi?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That's the question like, if you were to meet with Jesus,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: would you recognize him? And I know a question like
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: where does that question come from? Would you recognize him.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You see, there were so many times in history, even
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: when Jesus lived on planet Earth and walked and lived
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and moved among his people. I'm talking about the ones
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: who were closest to him, that they just didn't recognize him.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: They didn't recognize him. They would see him and still
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: not desern that it was indeed Jesus whom they would
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: experience on a regular daily basis. In John chapter twenty one,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it'll make sense here as we read, beginning at verse one.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: After these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: at the sea of Tiberius. And on this wise he
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: showed himself. There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Didymus and Nathaniel of cana in Galilee, and the sons
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter said,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: unto them, I go fishing. They say, unto him, we
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: also go with thee. They went forth and entered into
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing. Can
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you just say that they caught nothing? Type in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: chat they caught nothing? Why not? Well, we'll see in
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a moment verse four. But when the morning was now come,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he realized that many times what we need is in
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the morning. When we go through a night of trial,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we go through a night of wringing our hands and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: doing our best and hoping that God will quote do
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the rest. Like the many times that we fail. Right
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: when the things go difficult through the night's season, we're
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: waiting for the morning to come. We're waiting for the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: morning to come. One more, one more, please type in
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the chat the morning has come, The morning has come.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The brightness of our faith will be seen in the morning. Okay,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and so we see here the Bible says, But when
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But the disciples knew not what that it was Jesus.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Can I just say that again? But the disciples knew
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not that it was Jesus. So many times throughout their experience,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus would show up and they didn't know it was him.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But let me just keep going. Maybe they needed glasses,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: maybe he was too far. They were far out into
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the sea or the let's see Galilee, the lake, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they were not able to see that it was Jesus.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But let's see. And then Jesus said, unto them, children,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: have ye any meat, and they answered him no. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: now they're hearing his voice verse six, and he said,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: unto them, cast the net on the right side of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the ship, and ye shall find they cast therefore, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: now they were not able to draw it for the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: multitude of fishes. Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved, that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: John seth unto Peter, it is the Lord. Can you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: imagine they did not realize that it was Jesus. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: now John is saying, because he is so close to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus he loved Jesus, he is now recognizing based on
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the result of them doing what they could not do,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they are now able to do. He says, it is
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Now, when Simon Peter heard that it was
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him because
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: he was naked. He was naked, and did cast him.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: in a little ship, for they were not far from land.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But as it were two hundred cubits dragging the net
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: with fishes. And soon as they came were come to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: fish laid thereon, and bread see Jesus has a habit
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of when we recognize who he is, he has a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: habit of making provision for us. Ah, you didn't know
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it was Jesus that was getting you through the nighttime seas,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and you didn't know that sometimes he's curating your trials.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He is having you through trials so you will see
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: your extremity, you will see your need, you will see
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: your inability to cope without him. And then when the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: morning dawns, he even though sometimes we don't understand that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it is Jesus who is beginning to deliver us. Yes,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and then he makes a provision, a miraculous provision. He
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is poised, he is positioned, and all of the preparation
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: has already been done. He has the coals, right, he
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: has the fire, He has the fish, he has the bread.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now all they need to do is come to eat.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: He already provided so much fish that they could not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: carry it, and now he has prepared it. I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, behold, I come and stand at the door,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and I knock, and I keep on knocking. And if
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: any man hears my voice, this is Jesus speaking in
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter three. If any person hears my voice and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: opens the door. I will come into him, and I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: will sup with him, and he with me. I want
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to pause right there on that phrase, I will sup
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: with him. That means to eat. But it doesn't mean
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that Jesus is coming to dinner. It doesn't mean that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he wants you to prepare a table before him in
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: your presence. It means that he is going to prepare
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a table before you. He is going to bring dinner
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to sup. Jesus saying that he's going to sup with
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you means that he's going to bring dinner. You don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: have to bring anything except the willing heart, a submissive spirit,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: ready to receive from Jesus. But you and I both
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: need to submit ourselves to him so that when he
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is present, we open the door of our hearts, even
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the dark parts, even up under the bed of our house,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: right in the closet of our house, opening up our
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: cell phone so he can see all of the things
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: that we watch those things. When we welcome Jesus into
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the doorway, through the doorway of our lives, he is
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: bringing dinner. The fatted calf is prepared. Do you understand
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: where we're going with this? Yes? And so now Jesus
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is doing the same thing. He does this, and then
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it says it says that they you know, they brought
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: all of this. And so Jesus, Jesus verse twelve said
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: unto them, come and dine, and none of the disciples
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: durst ask him, like who art thou, knowing that it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was the Lord. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: give them and fish. Likewise, this is now the third
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: he was risen hallelujah from the dead. He reveals himself
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: when he's risen from the dead. So when they had dined,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, unto Simon Peter, son of Jonahs, he says, now, Peter,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: do you love me? And then Peter, in his brokenness,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: he is telling him, yeah, I love you. Jesus is like, no,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: not that kind of love. Do you love me? Peter, Yes, Jesus,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I love you. No, no, no, Peter, not that kind
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of love.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Peter.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Do you love me? Really love me? And if you do,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I need you to feed my sheep. 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,
