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 --> 00:00:15,080
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 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,079
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday. It's

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,039
May eight, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,719
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,359
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,840
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,079
caption for today is for You created all things, You created,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,319
All things are starting to clap already. Let me just

18
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:07,719
pause for a moment and say before we get into that,

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,280
I'd like to welcome everyone joining us, especially those joining

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,760
us for the very first time. I'm asking you to

21
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:16,680
go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,959

26
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,640
please remember to get the Life Application Guide because this

27
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,760
is the way that we learn how to apply these truths,

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,599
even Bible prophecy truths, in four key areas of our lives.

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,200
So it's not just philosophical, it's not just a spiritual discussion,

30
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,519
but it's a way to apply in our lives. At

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the

32
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,879
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father,

33
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,439
We thank you, Please, please, please please give us worshipful

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,319
hearts in Jesus' name. I pray Amen and Amen again.

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,599
So I'm going to rush this morning because in my

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,439
notes I wrote only God, only God. Remember the caption

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,639
is for You created all things exclamation point, and I

38
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:24,879
typed in I wrote, I hand wrote in my notes

39
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:28,479
only God. Like I'm in a rush to worship God

40
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,199
like it's Thursday. Sometimes people mix up what the Sabbath

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,719
truth is and make it seem as if we need

42
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,479
to wait until a particular time or day in order

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,759
to worship God. So in this moment in time that

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,919
God has orchestrated, He has called us to be together.

45
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,360
In this moment in time, it is time to worship him.

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,240
It's time to worship him. When you read in the Bible,

47
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:59,280
in the Book of Isaiah, from just around chapter forty

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,680
right through for ten chapters almost we see where God is. Like, listen,

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,520
I am worthy of worship and you need to know it.

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,919
So I want to pull up right here and give

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,240
everybody an opportunity to switch your mind from just intellectual

52
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,319
learning right into the chamber of God's throne, room where

53
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:25,919
worship is key. You can worship Him right now this Thursday.

54
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,759
You can worship him in this early morning hour if

55
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:32,560
you're in my hemisphere, and for those who are later

56
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,520
on in the day, you can worship him. You're in

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,759
your car, you're at work, you're at your desk, you

58
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,400
are in the field, listening in your earbuds. You can

59
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:45,039
worship God right now because he is the one who

60
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,919
created all things, and this is one of the things

61
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:50,879
that makes him worthy of worship. Nobody else has created

62
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,800
all things. There is one creator, and that is God.

63
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,319
And so on a handful of occasions, the lesson writer

64
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,080
says that the prophets were per admitted to experience the

65
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,719
throne room of God. Ezekiel saw it above the firmament.

66
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Isaiah visited the temple in heaven, and of course in

67
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,199
the New Testament we have people like even Paul, I

68
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,240
don't know, he didn't even know sometimes what the reality

69
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,839
of his experiences were. But I want to now go

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,920
into this question, this question from the lesson. What elements

71
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:31,279
of the two different experiences we'll read about those just

72
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,839
here momentarily are similar. Pay attention to the order of events.

73
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,199
What subject is presented first, what comes next? This is

74
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,079
really really tactical here, and what truth God is being

75
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,319
what truth about God is being stressed in these visions.

76
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:52,319
So let's see what we can get. We're going to

77
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,160
the Bible book of Isaiah and make quick work of this.

78
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Isaiah Chapter six and verse one, the Bible reads, in

79
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:06,879
the year that King Aziah died, I saw also the

80
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Lord sitting upon his throne high and lifted up, and

81
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,199
his train filled the temple. This is Isaiah's experience. In

82
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:22,720
Revelation chapter four, verses two and three, the Bible reads,

83
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,680
and immediately I was in the spirit and beheld a

84
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,399
throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

85
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,079
And he that sat on the throne was to look

86
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,720
upon like jasper and a sardine stone. May I just

87
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:46,079
say that God on his throne. Ah, that is what

88
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,720
engenders our worship. God is seated upon the universe's throne,

89
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,720
not any priest, prelate, or king, not any queen or

90
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,959
other kind of monarchical ruler, not a president, not a

91
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,079
prime minister. And if I've missed some other kind of leader,

92
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:10,480
none of those. No pope, no cardinal, no bishop, no pastor,

93
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:16,120
no elder. God himself is firmly seated upon the throne.

94
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,120
And you know what that means. That we're safe. His

95
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,800
sovereignty means safety for us. He sees, he knows all,

96
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,480
and he rules. He rules in an absolute way. But

97
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,879
at the same time, he gives us the option to

98
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,959
worship him or not. I wish I had the time.

99
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,879
But whenever we worship God, it is for his glory

100
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,120
and our benefit. I need to say that again, it

101
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:47,639
is for our benefit and His glory. Now. In Isaiah

102
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,759
six and verse two, the Bible reads above it stood seraphims.

103
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,720
Each one had six wings, and with Twain he covered

104
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,920
his face, and with Twain he covered his feet, and

105
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,680
with Twain he did fly. In Revelation chapter four, verses

106
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:05,279
six through eight, the Bible reads, and before the throne

107
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,600
there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. And

108
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,439
in the midst of the throne, and round about the

109
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:15,279
throne were four beasts full of eyes before and behind,

110
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:20,279
and four beasts had each of them six wings about him.

111
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,079
Of course I left out some details, but that is

112
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,160
the passage. And so the Bible teaches us that while

113
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,399
God is sovereign and holy, blessed be his name, while

114
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool, he

115
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:40,360
has heavenly beings who worship him. He has heavenly beings

116
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:45,199
who worship him. These beings are infinitely more powerful than

117
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,600
we are as human beings, and yet they worship him.

118
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,439
So what's wrong with some of us humans? Why is

119
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,480
it that we think we're so powerful that we don't

120
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920
need God. Why is it that those who are being

121
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,160
redeemed from sin, being redeemed from a dicktions to drugs

122
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:07,439
and alcohol, being redeemed from sexually illicit sins, People who

123
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,480
are being redeemed from weird mindsets that cause people to

124
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,079
do things that just kind of boggle our minds who

125
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,800
have a little bit of sense about us. The God

126
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:22,079
who is our creator, who's throne is heaven, He is

127
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,079
over the entire universe. Blessed be his name, is giving

128
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,240
us the opportunity to be in his presence, having been

129
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:34,480
redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. And heavenly beings

130
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:37,799
worship him. And yet some of us hold back our worship.

131
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,159
What have God withheld his breath from us? What if

132
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,279
God withheld the sun shining on the just and on

133
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,679
the unjust? What if God withheld all food, water, clothing,

134
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,480
and shelter when we don't worship him, the heavenly beings worship,

135
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,200
Why not worship? Now? Let me just say a little

136
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,879
word here about god holiness. The Bible reads here in

137
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:04,879
Isaiah chapter six and verse three, and one of these

138
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:09,120
heavenly beings cried unto another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy,

139
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,720
is the Lord of hosts. The entire world, the entire

140
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,679
earth is full of His glory. And in Revelation chapter

141
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,159
four and verse eight, it reads, and they rest not

142
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:27,600
day or night, and say, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God Almighty,

143
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,919
which was, which is and is to come. And then

144
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320
of course we see that there is a response to

145
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,879
God's holiness. But the question for me is what should

146
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,720
this impact have on me, this throne room experience. Does

147
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,159
it make me worship God? Or do I choose nothing?

148
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we

149
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

150
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

151
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
