1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's

00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,840
lesson study series how to study Bible prophecy, and our

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,719
caption for today is like burning calls of fire, like

17
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,560
burning coals of fire. We'll get into that in just

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,319
a moment, but first i'd like to say welcome to

19
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:07,319

you hit that number seven. It's really a red button.

Click that big bright red button when you get there.

25
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,159
This is one of the ways that we continue to

26

27
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:36,480
then we will get underway. Father in heaven, thank you

28
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,959
for giving us this new day and for the privilege

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,079
we have to come together in this manner. Please help

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,840
us to listen for your voice and be transformed by

31
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:51,120
the fire, the fire that you are in Jesus name.

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,400
I pray, Amen, and a man again like burning coals

33
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:01,159
of fire. We're going into our life application guide this

34
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:05,480
morning from page one hundred and twenty five, the Personal

35
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,439
Application in just a moment, But first I need to

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,639
I need to go and look at what the lesson

37
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,759
writer was saying here popping up my notes here about

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,960
the comparisons between the different scenes in these passages. So

39
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:25,039
let's see what God is revealing about himself in these

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,560
particular passages, and we'll just take little bites here and there,

41
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,919
because there's so much. There's so much. Let's first talk

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,840
about the majesty of God. In Ezekiel, chapter one and

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,240
verse four, we see the fire brilliant light and glowing metal.

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919
In Isaiah, we see in chapter six and verse one,

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,280
the Lord high and lift it up. In the Revelation

46
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:53,039
chapter four, verses two and three, we see the Almighty

47
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:59,360
on his throne with rainbows of color. Now, let me

48
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,599
ask you a question. Is God majestic in your life?

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,319
When people see you? Do they get a feeling a

50
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:09,560
sense of what I just described from the scriptures? Do

51
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,639
they sense the brilliance of God when they see you?

52
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,840
When people listen to you, speak to them and give

53
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,000
them advice, or pray over them or for them, do

54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,639
they get the idea that God is high and lifted up,

55
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,800
that He is a covenant keeper. When people experience you,

56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,400
do they get the sense of the majesty of God

57
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,879
through you? I need to be answering that question for myself.

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Let's go to Let's see Psalms chapter one hundred and

59
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,919
forty five and verse three. Great is the Lord, and

60
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:49,479
greatly to be praised. What I want you to do

61
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,680
is invest some time today to worship God for his majesty,

62
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,479
and then pray, Lord, open my eyes to see your

63
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:03,039
glory in creation and in your word. And then let

64
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,840
me become a revelation of that to the people. This

65
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:10,879
is God's truth in our lives. I think sometimes we

66
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,639
become so spiritually minded in air quotes that we don't

67
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:18,079
know how to actually live what we are reading. Let's

68
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,199
go to Ezekiel again. There are four creatures with different faces.

69
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:24,959
You know where they are. Won't cite the passages again.

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,920
In Isaiah there were six winged seraphim. In Revelation there

71
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:35,720
are four creatures declaring God's holiness. Here is the question again,

72
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,560
When you see those angels and beings in the heavenly realm,

73
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,680
are you inspired to become like what they represent? Like

74
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,399
what they represent? You see the intelligence in the faces

75
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:53,680
of those beings. You see the speed at which these

76
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,720
beings and the power at which these beings can move

77
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,639
for the purposes of God? Are you swift and powerful

78
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,160
to do what God would have you to do in

79
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,399
your realm that is planet Earth? And then, of course,

80
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:12,000
in Revelation the four creatures declaring God's holiness? Does your

81
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:15,639
life bespeak holiness? Like when people see you, do they

82
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,839
see holiness? Or is it detachment? Or is it people

83
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:26,480
who are inconsistent? Something to think about. And then, of course,

84
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,480
then of course we go to God's refining presence. In

85
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,720
Ezekiel we see him, we see the lightning and the

86
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,519
gleaming metal. In Isaiah we see cleansing coal from the altar.

87
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,199
We see in Revelation blazing lamps of God's spirit. So

88
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,480
this is something that we all can do. Sit into

89
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,040
God's presence, not into Sit in God's presence, bask in

90
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,720
the brightness of his glory when you are speaking to

91
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120
him and listening for his voice, and then He is

92
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:04,319
giving you the refiner's fire of his transformation. Are you

93
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:07,639
receptive to that? Or do you feel burnt? Like God?

94
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,279
Why is this so difficult? Every trial that you have

95
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,560
you complain, is that how you are? Or whenever God

96
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
gives you the opportunity to be in a straight place,

97
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,040
little bit of difficulty so that you can become more

98
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,879
like Him and even become a testimony to somebody else

99
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,920
so they can be saved. Because of course, if God

100
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,759
can do that refinement in your life, then he can

101
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,560
do it in my life. You see where this is going.

102
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:38,319
So sit in his presence, Remain in his presence, be

103
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,560
in humble submission to his will, and worship Him through

104
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,079
your life. Humble yourselves. The Bible says in James chapter

105
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,319
four and verse ten, in the sight of the Lord,

106
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:53,279
and he will lift you up. Invest time in reverent prayer,

107
00:06:54,519 --> 00:07:00,759
acknowledging the greatness of God in your life and your

108
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,759
dependence on Him. I just need to sit there for

109
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,319
just a moment, because in Ezekiel there is an overwhelming

110
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:14,000
feeling by God's presence, and in Isaiah chapter six and

111
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:18,839
verse five there is another overwhelming feeling. Isaiah said, woe

112
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,040
is me, for I am undone because he could recognize

113
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:24,560
he was nothing like what God wanted him to be,

114
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000
at least in his own eyes. In Revelation, the elders

115
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,120
are casting their crowns before the throne of God in

116
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,439
chapter four and verse ten. And so that humility that

117
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,800
I just spoke of is our privilege. If heavenly beings

118
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,959
can be humble, if the prophets of God can sense

119
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,839
their brokenness, then what of me? What of you? So

120
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,959
we can humble ourselves. It's our privilege to humble ourselves

121
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,040
before God and be transformed by His brightness. Now we

122
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:01,079
go to our life Application Guide PAY one twenty five.

123
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,199
Let's go to the win approach again, Personal Application win

124
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:10,680
W What is important now? The closer we come to

125
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:15,000
God the more aware of our own need for his cleansing.

126
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:22,439
We become His holiness shines light on our imperfections, not

127
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,480
so that we can become ashamed. So quiet the judgmental

128
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,199
part of your mind. But he wants to transform us,

129
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,440
so he's preparing us to be transformed. Let's internalize that

130
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:41,639
insight instead of running from conviction. See it as a gift.

131
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,240
You see, King Herod ran from the conviction. He didn't

132
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,720
see it as a gift. And then, of course John

133
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:53,360
the Baptist was destroyed because King Herod did not want

134
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,639
to be convicted by God. Okay, when God reveals what

135
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:03,559
needs to be changed, it means he's inviting you closer.

136
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:05,480
I want you to type it in the chat. Closer.

137
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,240
God is inviting you to be closer to him. But

138
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480
what is the next best move? This is philosophical, still,

139
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,879
but what do we do? I want you to set

140
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,919
aside or invest some time today, not tomorrow. You can

141
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,399
do it tomorrow if the Lord spears life. But today

142
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:24,799
and ask God what areas in your life need to

143
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,559
be brought before his throne. Don't let this just be

144
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,919
an exercise. Do it and then journal your thoughts and

145
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,679
say God, these are the things that you're revealing to

146
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,000
me that I need to surrender. Will you help me

147
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240
to do it? And then I can become a manifestation

148
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,720
of your brightness in this wicked and perverse generation. Peace.

149
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

150
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

151
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

152
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
