1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,559
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much, because yesterday's

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,480
food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:15,080
some of us expect yesterday's portion of
heavenly manna, the word of God to

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,879
keep us through today's challenges. On
this program, we are going to change

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,039
all of that. Let's experience God's
words today and receive the power we need

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,839
to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

we give you God's word every single

12
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:54,840
We are continuing in our Lesson study
series the Great Controversy. Our caption for

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,640
today is the Sanctuary and the Law. The Sanctuary and the Law. We'll

14
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,280
get into that in just a moment, but first i'd like to say welcome

to you and ask you to please

I say that already? The caption

20
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:30,159
I did well. Otherwise I just
repeated it. Let's go ahead and pray

21
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,879
and then we will get underway.
Father and Heaven, Thank you for giving

22
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,879
us this new morning. Thank you
for the thousands and thousands of people around

23
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,200
the world on so many platforms,

24
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:48,560
these devices that are listening and watching
today. Please help us to maximize the

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,000
time and build a relationship in your
courts. Father, Please help us to

00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,920
respect your law, respect your sanctuary, Respect you in Jesus name. I

27
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,439
pray, Amen and Amen again.
Well, I know we don't have a

28
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,040
lot of time, but yesterday I
really should have shared this song with you

29
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,039
that comes from the Book of Psalms, the Book of Psalms, chapter nineteen,

30
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,520
that comes on the heels of a
discussion about God's God's beauty in his

31
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:22,000
creation, how the heavens declare the
glory of the Lord, and all of

32
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:28,479
this manifests his handiwork right, and
then the Bible writer goes into another part

33
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,719
of the psalm that we have sung
many times in the past, and I

34
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:37,919
will sing some of it today.
From verse seven. The law of the

35
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:47,879
Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure,

36
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:59,319
making wise the samemple. More to
bedside are they then gold ye ain't

37
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:09,000
then much for fine gold sweeter also
than honey, honey and the hony cone.

38
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:22,280
The statutes of the Lord are ride
rejoicing the haunt. The commandment of

39
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:32,319
the Lord is pulled, enlightening the
yydes. More to bdsied are they than

40
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:44,080
gold, yea, than much fine
gold, sweeter also than honey and the

41
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:53,159
hon he call Verse nine. The
fear of the Lord is clean, enduring

42
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:02,719
foradver. The judgments of the Lord
Lord are true and righteous, all to

43
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:12,479
gasther. More to b d side
are they than gold yea, then much

44
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:24,480
fine gold, sweeter also than honey, huney and the honey cold Verse fourteen.

45
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:34,839
Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be acceptabullying

46
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:44,040
by side, Oh Lord, my
strengthen my re d murder. More to

47
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:53,000
b d side are they than gold, yeain? Then much fine gold sweeter

48
00:04:53,279 --> 00:05:01,800
also than honey huhney and the huny
cold. If you were singing with me,

49
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:04,199
go ahead and type of one in
the chat, please, type of

50
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,600
one in the chat. And for
those who are trying to figure out,

51
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,120
well, where does that refrain come
from, it comes from verse ten.

52
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,680
And I'm so thankful that these are
psalms, these are songs, these are

53
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:19,800
spiritual songs. And the Bible writers
said that we are to make melody in

54
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,959
our hearts unto the Lord with these. And so I'm thankful that the word

55
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,319
of God is so encouraging, how
encouraging that we can even sing along with

56
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:33,120
it. But beyond that, we
see that the word of God is sure,

57
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:39,399
including his law. And so the
key for today is if you want

58
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,639
to change the law of God,
I don't know why you would want to

59
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,000
do that. If you want to
change the law of God, you're going

60
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:49,439
to have to move him off his
throne. If you want to change the

61
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:54,399
law of God, you're going to
have to move him off his throne.

62
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,279
Because we see in the Old Testament
system of sacrifices, the arc of the

63
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:02,959
covenant representing the throne of God under
the mercy seat is where God kept those

64
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,720
sapphire. I said, sapphire,
you need to study the Bible. If

65
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,920
you think that the stones, the
stone tablets were like granite, some kind

66
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,480
of weird granite color like beige or
gray or brownish, then study closely that

67
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:24,600
the sapphire stones that were actually pulled
from the actual throne of God. Yes,

68
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,879
those were in the ark of the
Covenant, beneath the mercy seat over

69
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:34,199
which God hovered. And so the
foundation of the love of the government of

70
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,759
God, as we mentioned yesterday,
is the love of God. The foundation

71
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,959
of the of the government of God
is the law of God. And then

72
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,199
his throne represented by the mercy seat, or he sat on that or represented

73
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,959
that way, then the unsighed under
that would have been the throne of God.

74
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,040
So on the law of God.
So, how in the world can

75
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,800
you change the law of God If
you can't move God, if it's foundational

76
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:06,160
to his government, if it's a
transcript of God's character, how in the

77
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:14,120
world can you change Can someone change
the law of God without moving God?

78
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,720
Well, we know that that's not
possible. You're not moving God anywhere.

79
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,720
And so we see this question.
Really, what does the placement of God's

80
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,639
law in the most holy place reveal
about this significance and permanence of his law.

81
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:35,680
In the Book of Revelation Chap eleven
and verse nineteen, the Bible reads,

82
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,040
and the temple of God was opened
in heaven, and there was seen

83
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:46,240
in his temple the arc of his
testament, and there were lightnings and voices,

84
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,480
and thunderings, and earthquake and great
hail. Now, if you want

85
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,279
to move God and remove all of
this, then you'll have a chance of

86
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,560
messing around with the law of God. No, we don't do that.

87
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,519
We don't do that. And then
in the Book of Exodus, chapter twenty

88
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:07,839
five and verse sixteen, the Bible
reads, and thou shalt put into the

89
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,560
ark of the testimony, you shall
put into the testimony which I shall give

90
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,560
unto thee And of course that was
the testimony the Ten Commandments law. In

91
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,920
Exodus chapter thirty one and verse eighteen, the Bible reads, and he gave

92
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,839
unto Moses when he had made an
end of communing with him upon the Mount

93
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Sinai two tables of testimony, tables
of stone written with the finger of God.

94
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:43,399
And so God wrote, he etched, he emblazoned upon those sapphire stone

95
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,240
tablets which Moses was commanded to take
from what we see in the Bible his

96
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,320
throne. I wish I had the
time to teach this thing. But we

97
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,240
see now that now these tables of
testimony, the tables of Stone written the

98
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:05,000
finger of God, are now placed
under the mercy seat in the ark of

99
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:13,600
the Covenant, which is representative of
what God's own throne. Move God,

100
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,759
then maybe you have a chance at
messing around with His law. And we

101
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,120
know that that ain't about to happen. I know I said it ain't about

102
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:24,759
to but you know what I'm saying. And so in Exodus chapter thirty one

103
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,559
we already read that. In Revelation
chapter twelve and verse seventeen we read again

104
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,759
the dragon became enraged with the woman
and went to make war on the rest

105
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,480
of her children. Why because they
keep the commandments of God and have the

106
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,759
testimony. We look like God,
So the devil's angry. Thanks for joining

107
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,120
us listening. Friends, Always remember
we cannot live by bread alone, but

108
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,320
by every word that comes from the
mouth of God. This has been your

109
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with el David Harris.
Make it a great day. Yeah,
