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 --> 00:00:33,000
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Monday. It's

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,000
May nineteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,520
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,759
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,920
day and today is no exception. We are continuing in

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,119
our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:59,079
our caption for today is on Mount Zion on Mount Zion.

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,320
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say

18
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:03,359
welcome to you and ask you to go over to

19
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,719
your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,640

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,439
let us know where you are in the world at

22
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:17,480
your Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of the

23
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,519
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,640
go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,

25
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:28,000
we do thank you this morning for giving us the

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,640
opportunity to pray and to open up your word and

27
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,200
to see ourselves in your presence. Help us to live

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,680
now in the mindset of your presence until Jesus comes.

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,040
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again on

30
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,959
Mount Zion. So our goal today is to discover who

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,200
will dwell with God in Mount Zion. I want you

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,719
to see Mount Zion as the presence of God. No

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,519
matter what we say historically, no matter what we say

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,359
geographically or even archaeologically like what can be found on

35
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:09,840
the ancient Mount Zion. The real goal is to know

36
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,159
who will dwell with God in his presence. And then

37
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,520
the big one that Christian people often miss is how

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,159
we're very good with what we're good with describing things,

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:30,719
identifying problems, giving like really cool generic responses that seem intricate.

40
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,000
But the truth is we need to know how how

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,840
will we dwell whoever that we are in Mount Zion

42
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,439
with God or in His presence throughout the ceaseless ages

43
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:46,280
of eternity and the lesson writer. In the bottom of

44
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,439
the first part of the lesson, it says, we can

45
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,240
come to no conclusion other than it is the Lamb

46
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:58,080
who enables us to stand on Mount Zion. So we

47
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,319
have a generic answer. That's the reality. The Lamb is

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,120
not mentioned in david Psalm, but he suddenly appears in

49
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:11,000
the description found in Revelation chapter fourteen. It is almost

50
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:16,199
as if Revelation fourteen is answering David's question. What question,

51
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,240
the same one that I just posed to you. I'm

52
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,680
David two, by the way, right, Yeah, who will stand

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680
in Mount Zion? Okay? So what we're going to do

54
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,840
is go to the question in Psalm's chapter fifteen. The

55
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,840
Book of Psalms chapter fifteen and verse one, and the

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,840
Bible reads, Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who

57
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:43,240
shall dwell in thy Holy hill? And in Psalm chapter

58
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:47,639
twenty four and verse three, it says who shall ascend

59
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:50,919
into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand

60
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,360
in his Holy place? So these are the same questions

61
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,919
Revelation chapter fourteen actually answers from a lamb Day's perspective,

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And so let's go with number one in chapter fifteen

63
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:10,120
and twenty four in the Book of Psalms. The Bible

64
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,039
actually teaches us those who dwell with God fifteen verses

65
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,000
two through five, those who walk uprightly? Do you walk

66
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,800
up rightly? That means that you don't bow to the

67
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120
pressure of the enemy when he tempts you to do

68
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,879
all kinds of things, to think in ways that are

69
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,480
opposite of what God has taught those who walk righteously.

70
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,000
That's about holiness, and the standard of holiness is the

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,560
Ten Commandments law by God's grace? Do you do what

72
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,160
God says? By God's grace? Do you avoid the things

73
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,959
that God wants you to steer clear of? Think about it.

74
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,079
Eve was given the opportunity to what either eat from

75
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,319
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,639
God forbade, or listen to God because he said, in

77
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,319
the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die. Well,

78
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:06,560
Eve choll to eat and began the death problem. Yep,

79
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,279
and guess what some people are out there thinking. But

80
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,879
Dave you left out Adam. No, Adam is the reason

81
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,680
why we're in this mess. Because he jumped into sin.

82
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,319
Eve fell into sin, Adam jumped into sin. Both of

83
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,959
them ate what God said, don't eat, because they separated

84
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,720
themselves from God and believe the enemy instead of God.

85
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,360
Now Eve was deceived, Adam was not. But does it

86
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:32,600
really matter? Does it really matter? Fall into sin? Jump

87
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,279
into sin? Both of them sinned and fell short of

88
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,759
the glory of God. And so now we know that

89
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,839
we have to walk in righteousness. We have to speak

90
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,199
the truth in our hearts. That's our privilege. We don't

91
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,600
slander or harm or exploit others. You want to be

92
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:53,120
in the presence of God forever honors the faithful and

93
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,240
keeps our promises. In Chapter twenty four, verses four and five,

94
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,600
God describes who stands in the holy place clean hands

95
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,519
and a pure heart, has not lifted up their soul

96
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,720
unto vanity, talking about the lifestyle that we live on

97
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:13,680
a daily basis, does not swear deceitfully, receives blessing and

98
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,639
righteousness from God in salvation. On and on and on

99
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,160
we go. And in Revelation fourteen, the same question is answered,

100
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,680
These are they which are not defiled Verses four and five.

101
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,959
They follow the lamb in their mouth, is no guile.

102
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,759
They are without fault before God, blameless, lives, truthful, speech,

103
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:41,279
pure heart and clean walk, loyalty and obedience, and now

104
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,160
you're like, Okay, Dave, listen, I believe the Bible. I

105
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,439
agree with what God said. But how but how like

106
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,759
that sounds really wonderful when you play the organ after it?

107
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,399
It sounds wonderful if you make up a rhythmic way

108
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,680
of describing how or who excuse me, the people are,

109
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,879
and everybody gets excited until now a temptation comes. Yes,

110
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,959
when I'm at work and somebody says something sideways out

111
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,120
of their mouth to me, huh, When I'm at church

112
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,399
and there is a committee and we are not on

113
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:16,120
the same page, and she always gets what she desires,

114
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,839
but I never get what I desire. It looks like

115
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:22,600
there's some favoritism going on here, yep, in those moments

116
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,040
when our children seem to have lost their minds, our

117
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,600
spouses seem to have lost their minds and their love

118
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,399
for us. It seems like when I call my friends,

119
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:34,439
they never answer, and I'm always the one who is

120
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,079
going after them, and they don't really care about me. Yeah,

121
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,920
when those things come up, like the question really is

122
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:42,800
how we know what the what and we know what

123
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,360
the who are? But how but how. The Bible says

124
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,279
in chapter five of Psalms chapter twenty four, he shall

125
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,879
receive the blessing of the Lord and righteousness from the

126
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,000
God of his salvation. So God is giving us all

127
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,879
all that we need as a gift, a gift to

128
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,560
be able to live in His presence. But let me

129
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,199
show the how, the how. Number One, surrender. That's a

130
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:17,759
big word. Submit, submit, submission. There are entire there's an

131
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:23,759
entire system of belief from Ishmael's descendants that is based

132
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,199
on submission, and that's something we can also learn. We

133
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:31,120
need to submit in this case to Christ daily, the

134
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,000
Bible says in fourteen verse four. In fourteen and verse four,

135
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,840
follow the lamb wherever he goes. So here is the

136
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:44,320
step that we need to take. Pray every morning. Lord,

137
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,840
take my will and make it yours today. Let go

138
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,559
of control, trust him to lead you in your decisions

139
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,840
and desires. Number two, Let his character transform you. The

140
00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:02,440
Bible says in verse four of Psalm chapter twenty four

141
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,279
that we have clean hands in a pure heart. Ask

142
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,000
does this thought, word, or action reflect God's name that's

143
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,240
written in the forehead of people who are His children?

144
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,320
Let his character transform me and finally, practice truth and

145
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,960
integrity in every area. Verse five, verse fourteen. In their

146
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,919
mouth has found no guile, So speak truthfully, keep their word,

147
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,559
and treat people fairly. And get this even in private

148
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:40,240
behind their backs, treat people fairly. So God has given

149
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,159
us the privilege of being in His holy hill that

150
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:44,960
we need to surrender our will.

151
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Jace for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

152
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

153
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

154
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
