Speaker 1 (00:01):
Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
(00:22):
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday, August fourteen,
twenty twenty five. Hello, Madame Iselle David Harris. I am
your host, and this is your Daily Portion where we
give you God's word every single day, and today is
no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series
through the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today
(00:53):
is the Bread and Water of Life, The Bread and
Water of Life. Before we get into that, I'd like
to just say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those
joining us for the very first time. I'm asking you
to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please
join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion
(01:15):
Life application guide, and let us know where you are
in the world at your daily portion dot com. This
is one of the ways that we continue to build
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then
we will get underway. Father, Thank you, Thank you for
this new day and for the opportunity to experience and
(01:36):
imbibe the water and bread of life. Please help us
to be filled until we want no more. In Jesus name,
I pray, Amen and a man again the bread and
water of life. When you have an opportunity, I want
you to read through and study the Book of John
(01:58):
chapter six. The Book of John chapter six, and that
is life changing in this discussion. But we're going to
read together now first Corinthians, chapter ten and verse eleven,
where it reads, Now, all these things happen done to
them for en samples or examples that you'd don't really
want to do, like this is an example of what
(02:21):
not to do. That's what it means here. And they
are written for our instruction or admonition upon whom the
ends of the world have come. So if you are
living with me, okay, I know I have to say
that for effect, because if you're not living, you can't
hear me. Yeah, But if you're living with me in
twenty twenty five in August. That means this is for
(02:44):
you and it's for me. Because the people of God
did all kinds of crazy, goofy stuff spiritually, things that
are not according to God's will. And therefore and therefore
we need to learn what not to do. And I
know I usually don't like going from the negative, but
there's some stuff like you could really write a whole
(03:06):
dissertation on the mistakes and mishaps and unforced errors and
wilful disobedience and willful ignorance of the people of God
through this time following the exodus from Egypt, and that
will guide us into a place of spiritual success. Because
(03:27):
the Bible doesn't just stop here, talks about pride in
the next verse where if we think we stand, we
need to take heed, Like Ah, I wouldn't do anything
that I saw them do that didn't make any sense.
Why would they do that? Look at what God had
done for them? Why did they behave that way? Well,
if we have that perspective, God says, take heed, take
heed lest you fall, But he doesn't leave us there.
(03:51):
This is the problem I think many times with Christianese
speaking people we see all of the evil, we see
all of the darkness, we see all of the mistakes,
and then we bring it into our time and say
we would do the exact same wrong things. And I'm like,
I don't know about that, because the Holy Ghost is
still present to transform our lives. There were people like
(04:13):
Joshua and Caleb. Like people don't generally say, look at
these holy people. If I were living in their day,
I would be like Joshua. I would be like Caleb,
you see what I'm saying, Like we always often excuse
me gravitate toward the negative or the failures. And so
in the thirteenth verse, it says that there hath no
(04:34):
temptation taken you, but such as it's common to man,
like we all know what it's like to be tempted.
But God is faithful. That's a conjunction. It negates the
thing that came before. So this idea of temptation, all
of that experience that even the people of God had
on the downside during the exodus and the path toward
(04:57):
the promised Land, yes that was there. But God, you
see where I'm going with this, Go ahead and type
it in the chat. But God, you see my mommy
and my daddy were alcoholics. But God, I should say
they suffered from alcoholism. They were not alcoholics. They suffered
from alcoholism. My mommy and daddy were drug addicts. Well, no,
(05:19):
they were addicted to drugs. But God, you see my
parents had some kind of sexual indiscretions, and then the
people before them did too. And therefore now I have
these weaknesses. But God, you see where we're going. But God,
so there hath no temptation you taken you but as
(05:42):
is common to man, But God is what faithful who will,
with the temptation prepare a way of escape, or provide
this way of escape that you will be able to
bury it. So God, as he gives you the water
of life freely, God, as he gives you the bread
of life freely. Now we begin to imbibe Jesus Christ.
(06:05):
He becomes our sustenance and then becomes our energy. Having
eaten the word of God, having drunk from the fountain
of his grace, understanding that He is with me through
every trial and tribulation. Now I know in these last
days that He is able to sustain me. And in
(06:25):
John chapter four, Verses thirteen and fourteen, the Bible reads.
Jesus answered and said, unto her, whosoever drinketh of this
water shall thirst again the woman at the well drinking
natural water from the well. But whosoever drinking of the
water that I shall give him shall never thirst. Are
you drinking from the well of Christ? But the water
(06:46):
that I shall give him shall be a well of
water springing up into ever lasting life. And of course
we see again in John chapter six, as I mentioned
a little bit earlier, and so as we apply it today.
I'll go back to some of the things that they
dealt with, but I'd like to hurry up and apply
(07:07):
it to us today. Jesus is my daily provision. Give
us this day our daily bread, he said, and that
prayer that people use as a model of prayer. Jesus
is our daily provision. If he and the word that
we read called the Word of God and Jesus being
(07:27):
the real word of God, if they are the bread
of life, that means we need to eat it. How
do we eat this word? By reading, praying through asking
God for the ability to apply, and then in fact
applying every single day. Jesus said it when he was
being tempted in the wilderness, that humans don't live by
(07:51):
only bread, by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Job said it. He said that I have esteemed the
words of his lips as more than my necessary food.
So Jesus is our daily provision, not only in emergencies,
but for every day I awake. I wake up hungry
(08:13):
for purpose. I wake up hungry for clarity. I wake
up hungry for peace and spiritual dehydration is real. Het
me just say that for a moment here, if you
feel dry, it's more than just somebody yelling at you
in the microphone that you need. You don't need another sermon.
(08:34):
When you feel dry, it's the word in the presence
of Christ. You need call out to him. I'm telling
you now what to do. I'm imploring you call out
to Him and say, God, I'm feeling dry. I feel
like I need showers of blessing. I need I need
the showers, the rain of the Holy Ghost in my life.
I'm feeling dry. Can you please? You promised that you
(08:56):
would give me these rains, the former and later rain,
that you would convert me and transform me, and then
you would empower me at the next level. If I
just call out to you and learn to surrender. Can
you teach me how to surrender? And so the wilderness
teaches dependence. Don't despise the season where God feeds you.
(09:20):
Slowly drip, he drips, and he gives you your daily
bread and intentionally. This is a way that God is
forming trust within us, forming trust within us. Well, God
has already promised that he would give us our bread
and our water. It will be sure. We need that
(09:42):
practically and we need that spiritually. Trust.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
