• 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 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello. It is Thursday, September eleven, in twenty
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: twenty five, and this is your Daily Portion Lunchtime edition.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I know you're like, what, Yes, Lunchtime Edition where we
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: give you God's word every single day and today is
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: through the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: is intercession, Intercession before we pray. I want to introduce
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: this new concept because you're like, but I just saw
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you this morning, and we've been watching you at five
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: am every single morning for many years. And that's true.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But many of you have been asking, like, can you
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: lengthen the program? And I'm like, no, God said ten
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: minutes every single day. But since then we have added
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the Life Application Guide. Okay, and so what we're gonna
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: do at least try it out for a couple of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: weeks at one pm Jamaica time at one pm Jamaica
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: time is dedicate the time strictly to the Life Application part.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And you can get the Life Application Guide at your
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion dot com. Okay, let me go ahead and pray,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and then you'll see how this flows. Father in Heaven,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: thank you for giving us the opportunity to come together again.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Now we're here two times in the day. Father, I'm
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: asking you to please give us a will and a
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: discernment so that we can apply what we learned this morning.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And so I neglected to say a little bit earlier
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that we will not be here on Sabbaths. I am
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: not competing with our experience in worship together corporate worship
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on Saturdays. Okay, So Sunday through Friday, we'll try it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and see how this goes. If the Lord continues to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: bless them, we'll continue to do this. Otherwise we'll just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: stick to the morning, okay. And so intercession. We already
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: discussed the details of the lesson this morning, but let's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: go right to spiritual application. And for those who've not
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: gotten the application guide, we cover four key areas spiritual,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: personal relationships, and professional application. Okay, and we use the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: acronym win win, And let's be again with spiritual application.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: W What is important now? God's love bears our sin
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: at the highest cost. I don't think I need to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: drill that. In fact, we don't have the time for that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But that is what's important under spiritual application. Internalize the insight.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I Moses stepped into a place few people would dare
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: think about what Moses did. He interceded, well, really he intervened,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but he interceded in such a way that really could
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: have put him in danger. He didn't know that it wouldn't,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: but he was willing to risk it. Okay, he was
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: willing to be blotted out if it meant salvation for
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the people. Ask yourself, like, are you willing to do that?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying you should be, but that is amazing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: This mirrors the ultimate sacrifice God made in Christ. This
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is why we are told that Moses was a type
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: or a foreshadowing or symbol of the Messiah Jesus Christ.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Continuing forgiveness required God himself to carry sin. This is
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: not light, it's the deepest kind of love. Well, what's
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the next best move in that regard? Daily? Thank God
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: for carrying your sin. Approach him with humility, knowing what
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it will cost him to save you. I won't say
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a lot about that. We're going to run on now
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to personal application. What is important now. Sacrificial love always
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: involves personal costs. We're taking this personal now. Internalize the insight.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Moses's intercession shows how true love for others goes beyond words.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Some people talk about it, but what God is showing
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: us is that we need to be about it, not
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: just talk about it. It stands in the gap when
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: people the people do not deserve it. Are there people
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in your relationships or well, we'll get to that in
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a moment. But people that you relate to that you
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: feel like don't deserve God's fill in the blank, his mercy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Look at how they've done X, Y, or Z, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they've not turned to him. So well, what we're learning
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: now is that this kind of love stands in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: gap when people don't deserve it. The Cross reveals the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: same love on a global scale. Remember God's soul loved
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the world that he gave his only begotten son. Okay,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and then n next best move? Ask God to give
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you a heart that is willing to intercede for others,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: even when it requires personal sacrifice. Relationships application, what is important? Now?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Intercession can heal broken relationships, internalize the insight. Other than
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: writing off those who fail, we're talking about relationship wise now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Moses pled for them. His example teaches us not to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: give up on others when they fall. Intercessory prayer create
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: space for God's mercy to work. God is receiving the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: permission if you want to say, to do something above
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and beyond what people are expecting when we intercede for them.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And then, and what is the next best move in relationships?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: In this case, begin interceding for one broken relationship in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: your life. Let me ask you. Is it your spouse
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that your relationship is broken with? Is it your one
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of your parents. You could be an elder and you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: still have problems with your parents. Is it somebody at
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the workplace? So begin interceding. That means actively praying, going
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to God and saying God I need you to please
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: work on behalf of filling the blank person in my life.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Please will you do that? And then ask God to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: work where you cannot, ask God to work where you cannot.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And then finally, our professional application. You're going to work,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you have a business, you are developing a business, or
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: maybe you're a student, but this is a professional application.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: W what is important now? Leaders must carry their people's burdens.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Or you're a leader at work. You may even be
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a background leader, somebody who is secondary to the primary leaders.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe behind the scenes. You do things that impact the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: or influence the flow in your organization or your company,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: or even if you're at school, you may be a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: student that people look up to. So I want you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to apply that as well, and then I internalize the insight.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Moses did not hide behind his position. He carried the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: weight of his people's sin before God. Let me read
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that again. Moses did not hide behind his position. He
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: did not say, because he's the leader of God's people,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Oh well, God, you said that, this is what's going
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to happen to them. I'm doing my job. They need
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to be doing their jobs. He didn't hide behind that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: He carried the weight of His people's sin before God.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Leadership calls us to care deeply for the spiritual and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: practical well being of those we serve. And I understand.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And some workplaces, you're not going to be overt with
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the way that you come in. It's not a church
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: unless you do work in a ministry somewhere. But the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: fact is that you know that there are people who
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: need the Lord. Some of your coworkers, some your direct reports,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and maybe even your supervisors need the Lord. And so
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you're going to go there thinking that way and ask
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: God to help you carry their needs before Him with
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: wisdom and courage. Are you going to ask them periodically?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You need to think it and pray
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it through. Is there anything I could pray for you about? Hey,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: fill in the blank name. Is there something that you're
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: going through today that you feel like it's just a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: little bit too heavy? Is there something I can do
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to assist, something I can do to help? So what
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: we want to do in the coming days, well, tomorrow
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: will be the final one until Sunday is apply these
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: truths and see how God will help us grow in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: these four key areas. We'll see you in the morning.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: If the Lord spears life peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
