09 30 2025 Heirs of Promise · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 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: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, September thirty,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our new
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: lesson study series, Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: caption for today is Heirs of the Promise, Heirs of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the Promise. Before we get into that, I'd like to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: just say welcome to you and ask you to go
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: online community. Please pick up your Daily Portion Life Application
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Guide and let us know where you are in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then get underway. Father,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: truth and to apply it to ourselves, not just look
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: backward to Joshua's experience, but to use that as a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: launch pad for new experiences with You for ourselves. In
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus' name, I pray amen and amen again, heirs of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the Promise, May I just fast forward? I want to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: fast forward because the Bible speaks Paul speaking that those
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: who are back tied into Christ are Abraham's seed and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: heirs according to the promise. And so the stories that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we read through Joshua's experience and the people of God,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it is to give us the baseline, give us what
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the mechanism was that got us through to the fulfillment
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of God's promise for his people all the way through
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: until we begin eternity with him. Does that make sense
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to you type of one in the chat? If that,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: if that makes sense, please please all right. And so
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: what we're going to do is look at this concept
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in three stages, okay, from the Promise to the oath
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to the inheritance because the lesson writer used an interesting
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: way of describing the difference between the fulfillment and the promise.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna use use a different prism here, right,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So the promise is God's word as reality, God's word
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: right now. Like God is speaking to you on the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: thirtieth day of September, He's making a promise to you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That is his word to you as reality. So if
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: he says in sixty days, ninety days, one hundred and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: twenty days in the near future or according to the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Blessed Hope, this is what he's going to do, that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is a promise. And because God is eternal, right, he's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the one Jesus, let's speak of it in Jesus' terms.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He's the one who was, the one who is, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the one who is to come. That means when your
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: ancestors were still living, Jesus was there and before them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Right now, he's a very present help in trouble. He's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: here right now helping you to maximize the moment that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you are in about four minutes into our broadcast, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: then of course is to come like at any time
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in the future beyond this moment, pause, pause, Yep, he
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was here already from eternity past, He in his eternal
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: essence already experienced this moment. It's very difficult to even
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: begin to fathom what that means. But when God makes
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a promise for something that is to be in the future,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it is reality to him, full stop. So when Joshua
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: stood before the Jordan, the land was still filled with enemies,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it was still bordered by walls. If you want to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: say bordered, maybe that's not the best word. And then
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it was also littered with kings. And yet God said,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: according to Joshua chapter one, verses four and five, from
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the wilderness and this Lebanon, even unto the great river,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the river Euphrates shall be shall be. That's a promise.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That is God's saying what is to come, full stop.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: As if it is now, there shall be not any
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: man be able to stand before ye that will be
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: your coast. Okay, nobody's going to be able to stand.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And so God spoke as if the lend was already theirs.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Why because his promise is sure. Remember God's word is reality. Okay.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So the lesson for me, and hopefully you're taking the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: same lesson, is when God promises forgiveness, guidance, or victory.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It's not a wish, it's not a hope, it's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a dream. It is reality. Now, let's move to oath.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: God's covenant cannot be broken. God's covenant cannot be broken.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The New Testament reminds us that God not only makes
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: promises right. God's what he says is reality, but he
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: seals them with an oath. It's a guarantee. God is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: saying that on the basis of his godness, on the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: basis of the fact that he is Creator God, Hallelujah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: blessed be his name, He's able to seal this. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: we read in Hebrews chapter six, verses seventeen and eighteen,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: wherein God confirmed it by an oath, that by two
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So the beauty of this, and I'm leaving some things out,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: is that the inheritance is not based on the people
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of God's strength or worthiness. I hope you're not seeing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: yourself in the Kingdom of Heaven and on the earth
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: made new based on your strength or your worthiness. It
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: was based on God's covenantal oath. God's words words reality. Yes,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: sealed sealed by an oath, because his word is bond.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: His word is his bond, and of course sealed in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the blood of Christ. I wish it we had the time. Likewise,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: your salvation doesn't rest on your feelings. Some people are
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: too much in their feelings your past, remember God was there,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: or your weaknesses, but on God's unchangeable word. So when
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: doubts arise, anchor your hope not in yourself, but in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: God's oath. It is impossible for God to lie. Impossible
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: because when God speaks, it is reality. Can we go
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: back to the promise. So if God said, at this
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: moment in time, and I'm speaking from where I am
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: in Jamaica, right in Jamaica, it is morning time. But
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: if he said it's evening, immediately it becomes evening. Why
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: because God's word is reality. Now, let's go to inheritance
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and come to a swift close living as God's heirs.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So God has made his promise. We're living in God's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: reality of now. He said it shall be, and we
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: live knowing that that's the reality because it is sealed
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: by God's oath. Right, So if we know that the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: inheritance is coming, then we should be living now as
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: if we had it in our hands. In reality, the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Bible reads in Romans, chapter eight and verse seventeen. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: if children, if we're God's children, then we are heirs,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: heirs of God. And it gets better joint heirs with Christ.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You see, Christ, having lived the human situation, he took
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: on flesh in order to save us from our sins. Right,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: he died the death that we deserve so that we
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: can live the life that he deserves. Since that's the fact,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: we are joint heirs with Christ, and he has the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: key to the kingdom. All power is in his hand.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Blessed be his name. And therefore, since Christ is already
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the fulfillment of airship, because He's not waiting for anything
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to transpire, to be the heir of all great and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: immeasurable things that we can't even fathom today, that all
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: we have to do is accept the mindset and cooperate
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: with God that we are now heirs, fellow heirs with Christ,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: live daily as an heir of eternity.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day, Yeah,
