1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,640
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna the word of God to keep us

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,239
through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,399
that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,359
healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to
Your Daily Portion with your host, author

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,840
speaker Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,600
is Thursday, January twenty five,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,679
is El David Harris. I am
your host, and this is your Daily

10
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,719
Portion where we give you God's word
every single day, and today is no

11
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:51,119
exception. We are continuing in our
Lesson study series through the Book of Psalms,

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,200
and our caption for today is help
from the Sanctuary. Help from the

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Sanctuary. We'll get into that in
just a moment, but first I'd like

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,840
to say welcome to you and ask
you to go over to your Daily Portion

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,719
dot com. Please join our online
community, pick up your Daily Portion book,

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,560
and also let us know where you
are in the world. Again,

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,920
this is a way that we continue
to build faith and fellowship. And let

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,319
me just say a great, big
welcome to everybody who is with us on

19
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:25,640
a regular basis. I'd have no
reason to be here except that you are

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,040
here and that you are sharing with
people you believe need great news from God's

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,760
words. So let's go ahead and
pray, and then we'll get right into

22
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:36,719
this. Father and Heaven, thank
you for giving us this new day and

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,599
for the privilege that we have to
open up your word. And I am

24
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,439
asking you, Father to please give
us the fullness of your holy spirit,

25
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:47,879
teach us to serve you with all
our hearts. And then I ask you

26
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:53,159
to give us the fullness of understanding
and commitment to your words. In Jesus'

27
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:59,879
name, I pray Amen and Amen
again. Okay, so help from the

28
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:06,519
sanctuary. We're going to begin with
Jesus. We should begin and end with

29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,879
Jesus everywhere in our lives, but
that's a different study. Yes, we're

30
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,520
going to begin with Jesus and read
from the Book of Hebrews, the Book

31
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,800
of Hebrews and give this some context
or framework really for what we're going to

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
discuss today. Hebrews chapter four,
and we will begin at verse fifteen,

33
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,319
this time from the New King James
version, and the Bible reads, for

34
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:32,120
we do not have a high priest, And don't get confused with the backwards

35
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:37,840
ness of how the language go Sometimes
New King James and the King James have

36
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:40,680
like a weird way of saying things. For we do not have a high

37
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:45,560
priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness. Let me say it this way,

38
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:53,159
Our high Priest, our great high
Priest, can simplify, simplify, sympathize

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,800
with our weaknesses. But was in
all points tempted like as we are,

40
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,759
yet without sin. Can I just
pause right here for a moment. When

41
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,159
you read John saying that there are
works of the flesh, like there are

42
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:13,560
deeds that lead to death, he
says, the lust of the flesh,

43
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,879
the lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life, and these are

44
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,520
not things that God embraces. Right. So that's what John said. And

45
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,280
when you look at the temptations of
Jesus, that experience that he had in

46
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:32,360
the wilderness after he was filled,
Jesus with the Holy Ghost and the blessing

47
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:37,879
of God his Father, and acknowledgment
of his love for Jesus Christ had happened,

48
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,080
and now he's led into the wilderness
by the Holy Spirit, and then

49
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800
the devil begins to tempt him.
When you look at that account in the

50
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Book of Luke, it actually comes
those three kinds or types of temptations come

51
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,719
in the same order that John referenced. The lust of the flesh turned these

52
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:02,439
stones into bread, lust of the
eyes. I'll give you everything if you

53
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,400
do this, and the pride of
life just jump off of this and whatever

54
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,479
prove that you are guess you know
coming from God, because the angels will

55
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,000
take charge over you. So you
see that those came in those very in

56
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,399
that same order. Very interesting.
Do you think that's by chance that the

57
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:25,240
Holy Ghost gave John that? Well, I would say no, it's not

58
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:31,480
by chance. And so we see
these categories of sin and Jesus overcame them,

59
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,800
not just on that day, but
from he was a young boy until

60
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:40,920
he gave his life voluntarily on the
cross so that you and I could be

61
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:44,360
saved. And so going back to
the text, now that we can understand,

62
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:48,160
for we do not have a high
priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.

63
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:55,879
But wasn't all points tempted like as
we are, and yet without sin.

64
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,040
Let us therefore come boldly to the
throne of grace, that we may

65
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,720
obtain mercy and find grace to help
in time of need. Let me just

66
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,079
say that Jesus is our sanctuary.
I wish I had the time to really

67
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,839
drill into that. But the point
here I'm making is that the same one

68
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:21,560
who overcame the enemy by yielding his
will to God, our Father, is

69
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:27,399
a sanctuary. So that if we
will yield our will to God our Father,

70
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,360
if we, through the Holy Ghost, will yield and our will to

71
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:35,439
God and have Jesus abide in us, then we know that we will have

72
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:42,680
the same victory that Jesus had.
Jesus had victory from his natural birth until

73
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,240
he gave his life for us right
his death. Yes, and we can

74
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:58,240
have victory from our rebirth until either
we pass away or Jesus returns. Did

75
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,720
you get that? So the new
birth experience is really an a is a

76
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,279
microcosm. It is a manifestation of
the life of Jesus Christ. I wish

77
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,560
I had the time. If you
didn't get that, please rewind it and

78
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,839
pray and listen again. Once we're
done here. Okay, So the Book

79
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,920
of Psalms, now we're going to
chapter three and verse four and see what

80
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,360
we can glean. The Bible reads, I cried unto the Lord with my

81
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,560
voice, and he heard me out
of his holy hill. So now we

82
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:39,279
see this place being referenced. This
the presence of God being referenced here.

83
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:45,360
And when when God's people cry out
unto the Lord, God from his vantage

84
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:50,639
point, from his ultimate presence,
is hearing us. And remember I said

85
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,240
to the holy mindset the Hebrew people, being the first representatives in this case,

86
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,920
to hear and to do our synonymous
And so when God hears us out

87
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:08,879
of his holy hill, he also
and he inclines his ear to us,

88
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360
and he grants us his peace like
he is our defender, like we read

89
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:15,839
yesterday, he is our deliverer,
and of course, in the context of

90
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:21,720
our discussion today, he's also our
protection, our refuge, our help in

91
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:27,319
time of trouble. And now we
move to the Book of Psalms, chapter

92
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:31,399
fourteen. Psalms, Chapter fourteen,
and I will read verse seven. I

93
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:36,000
hope you're getting where we're going here, Oh, that the salvation of Israel

94
00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:42,560
will come out of Zion when the
Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people.

95
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:47,199
Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be
glad. Of course, this is

96
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,759
referencing a time, a specific time
in the history of God's people. It

97
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,040
is a mindset now that we can
look at and say, you know,

98
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,079
God's people have been capt in their
minds have been bound. Oh, if

99
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,199
we could just go back to Egypt, because you're taking us, Moses,

100
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,680
You're taking us out here into the
wilderness to die. Oh, can we

101
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,959
please have quail? Oh? I
don't know what this light bread is that

102
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,399
manner that God is giving us.
Oh. Oh, And they complain and

103
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,959
they murmur, and they are annoying, and God is looking like He's about

104
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,480
to destroy them. But of course
he was merciful. He was merciful to

105
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,440
them, and so bringing them out
of that captive mindset, bringing them out

106
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,080
of various other times when they were
captive to the Assyrians and to the Babylonians

107
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:48,720
and to the everybody else. Right, Egyptians, God is our salvation and

108
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,240
that power that God manifests is coming
out of his holy hill Zion. And

109
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,799
then God's people, as we are
delivered, we learn to rejoice, We

110
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:03,480
learn to rejo let me go to
the Book of Psalms, chapter twenty now

111
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,759
and I'll read beginning at verse one, and the Bible reads, the Lord

112
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,360
hear thee in the day of trouble. You have to call unto him the

113
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,799
name of the God of Jacob,
defend the yes, send thee help from

114
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,159
the sanctuary, and strength the strengthen
the out of Zion. Remember all thy

115
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:31,519
offerings and accept thy burnt sacrifice Sillah. So God is our refuge, He

116
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:37,360
is our help, He is our
strong tower, our tabernacle, our sanctuary.

117
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,799
And then one day, finally we
will finally enter into His ultimate pavilion

118
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,720
in heaven and then the earth made. Thanks for joining us listening to friends.

119
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,320
Always remember we cannot live by bread
alone, but by every word that

120
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,559
comes from the mouth of God.
This has been your daily portion with El

121
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,279
David Harris, Make it a great
day. Yeah,
