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

- 2:14Speaker 2: using the Life Application Guide every single day, but today
- 2:18Speaker 2: we will we will actually look at the Personal Application. Okay,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and if you are not familiar, again pick up that
- 2:26Speaker 2: book at your Daily Portion dot com. And we're using
- 2:30Speaker 2: the framework the acronym WIN under our Personal Application and
- 2:37Speaker 2: w What is important now not looking at yourself or
- 2:42Speaker 2: dwelling on your own imperfections, that's important, but trusting the
- 2:49Speaker 2: God that has a treasure house of supplies for his children.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Are you one of God's children? If you're one of
- 2:56Speaker 2: God's children, go ahead and type yes in the chat
- 2:58Speaker 2: like you are one of God. I am a child
- 3:01Speaker 2: of God. Yes, and can give you what you need
- 3:06Speaker 2: under all circumstances, no matter what. I don't care. It
- 3:10Speaker 2: doesn't matter what trial you're going through, what difficulty you
- 3:14Speaker 2: are facing, what temptation is right in front of you.
- 3:19Speaker 2: God is able from his treasure house of supply to
- 3:23Speaker 2: give you what you need, no matter what. Internalize the insight.
- 3:28Speaker 2: God knows your wants and has provided for them. The
- 3:34Speaker 2: Lord has a treasure house of supplies for his children
- 3:36Speaker 2: and can give you what you need under all circumstances.
- 3:40Speaker 2: You are not to look at yourself. The more you
- 3:43Speaker 2: dwell on your own imperfections that almost destroyed me after
- 3:47Speaker 2: the first two years of me being a believer. I
- 3:50Speaker 2: promise you the less strength you shall have to overcome them.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I used to focus hyper focus. I even wrote about
- 3:57Speaker 2: it in my third book, Way Back, I think twenty
- 4:00Speaker 2: years ago, twenty one years or twenty two years ago,
- 4:03Speaker 2: No Peace Within, I wrote part of the letter. I
- 4:06Speaker 2: put that letter in there that I was writing to God.
- 4:09Speaker 2: I don't know. I was writing to the Bible worker
- 4:12Speaker 2: at my church, and I was overwhelmed by the wickedness
- 4:15Speaker 2: of my life. And I was just like God, I thought,
- 4:17Speaker 2: I just got baptized, Like, what is the problem here?
- 4:20Speaker 2: I am so discouraged. But but there is no burden.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But he can remove no darkness, but he can dispel
- 4:31Speaker 2: no weakness, but he can change to power, no fears,
- 4:37Speaker 2: but he can calm. Well, what is the next best
- 4:40Speaker 2: move in this fact? Well, identify one, I said one.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Don't overdo this thing. It will overwhelm you and discourage you.
- 4:51Speaker 2: So pick one imperfection or weakness you have been dwelling on,
- 4:56Speaker 2: and choose today to look away from me. You to
- 5:01Speaker 2: stop looking at yourself and instead trust God, who has
- 5:07Speaker 2: a treasure house of supplies. I've said this, this is
- 5:09Speaker 2: the third time, and can change your weakness to power.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Remember Paul said, God's power is made perfect in my weakness.
- 5:22Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, all right, So let's
- 5:24Speaker 2: read from the lesson and then let you go. This
- 5:29Speaker 2: is from that I may know him. It's a devotional
- 5:33Speaker 2: page two hundred and twenty four. Those who are constantly
- 5:38Speaker 2: receiving fresh supplies of grace will have power proportionate to
- 5:44Speaker 2: their daily need. Remember this is called your daily portion.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Even the food, not only the food and water that
- 5:51Speaker 2: we need, not only the clothing and shelter that we need,
- 5:54Speaker 2: but the power we need to overcome right will have
- 5:58Speaker 2: the power proportionate to their daily need and their ability
- 6:02Speaker 2: to use that power instead of looking forward to some
- 6:07Speaker 2: future time when through some special endowment of power they
- 6:13Speaker 2: will receive a miraculous fitting up for the soul. For
- 6:19Speaker 2: soul winning, they are yielding themselves daily to God that
- 6:25Speaker 2: He may make them vessels meet for His use. Daily
- 6:31Speaker 2: they are improving the opportunities for service that lie within
- 6:35Speaker 2: their reach. Daily they are witnessing for the Master wherever
- 6:40Speaker 2: they may be, whether in some humble sphere of labor,
- 6:44Speaker 2: in the home, or in a public field of usefulness.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Let me just pause right here. I got baptized in
- 6:52Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six in March. I visited the church where
- 6:56Speaker 2: I got baptized. I visited in November of nineteen teen
- 7:00Speaker 2: ninety five in Alexandria, Virginia. Pastor Henry Wright was the
- 7:04Speaker 2: leader was the pastor at the time, and I remember,
- 7:08Speaker 2: I remember that I was in an evangelism class in
- 7:12Speaker 2: the first year of my time with Christ. Because I
- 7:16Speaker 2: couldn't find a traditional Bible Bible study, right, we had
- 7:21Speaker 2: Sabbath School, which is that's actually where I got my
- 7:25Speaker 2: love for the Saba school, which is why I do
- 7:28Speaker 2: your daily portion even today, all of these years later.
- 7:33Speaker 2: And so now I'm in evangelism class, and I'm learning
- 7:36Speaker 2: how to give Bible studies, how to quote win souls,
- 7:41Speaker 2: how to write Bible studies. Pastor will Smith taught us
- 7:45Speaker 2: how to actually write Bible studies very short, very targeted,
- 7:50Speaker 2: and to have decisions at the end of each of
- 7:54Speaker 2: those studies so that by the time we are completed
- 7:57Speaker 2: our series of studies, then the person is ripe for
- 8:00Speaker 2: the harvest, ready to be baptized. Okay. And so now
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'm at work on a daily basis. I had to
- 8:06Speaker 2: work with humans, of course, work with people, and we
- 8:10Speaker 2: would be in a vehicle for sometimes about two hours
- 8:13Speaker 2: in the day, one hour in the morning and maybe
- 8:16Speaker 2: one hour in the evening. Right, and you know, God
- 8:20Speaker 2: was giving me the spirit of evangelism, and people would
- 8:24Speaker 2: agree to do Bible studies with me, okay, well, getting
- 8:29Speaker 2: the schedule to match up after work, I would say
- 8:34Speaker 2: most of the time didn't work. Once in a while
- 8:37Speaker 2: it did, but most of the time it didn't work.
- 8:40Speaker 2: You know what God did for me. He gave me
- 8:42Speaker 2: an idea. He said, since the schedule doesn't match up,
- 8:45Speaker 2: and when people are done work, they have all this
- 8:48Speaker 2: stuff to do, or you get to their home at
- 8:51Speaker 2: the time that they said, and sometimes they're not there,
- 8:55Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff. Right, So this is what
- 8:57Speaker 2: you're going to do. You're going to actually study and
- 8:59Speaker 2: memory the Bible study. See, he's given me new supplies
- 9:03Speaker 2: of grace, he's given me better ideas. He's teaching me
- 9:06Speaker 2: to improve upon the opportunity for service, at least in
- 9:10Speaker 2: this idea of study Bible study. Right, So I would
- 9:13Speaker 2: memorize the Bible study, memorize all of the passage of scripture.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Passages of scriptures. So if there are twelve questions, thirteen
- 9:22Speaker 2: questions and there were two or three, you understand, so
- 9:25Speaker 2: thirteen times two or three scriptures, I would memorize that.
- 9:28Speaker 2: And so I would offer to be the one driving
- 9:31Speaker 2: the vehicle. My co worker would be in the passenger seat,
- 9:34Speaker 2: and I would say, okay, take out your Bible, right,
- 9:37Speaker 2: and they would agree and During that time I gave
- 9:40Speaker 2: Bible studies from my mind because God gave the grace.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
- 9:48Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
- 9:51Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
- 9:54Speaker 1: daily portion with L. David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
