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 --> 00:00:25,879
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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,039

caption Preparing for the Gift, the Gift of what the

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,560
preparing for the Gift. We'll get into that in just

00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,280

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,480
they used to from YouTube or Facebook or some other platform.

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,640

address that has everything to do with this program at

37
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:06,560
your Daily Portion dot com. Let's go ahead and pray

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,599
and then get underway. Father, We thank you for the

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,719
privilege of your word and the fact that you prepare us.

40
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:17,680
You prepare us for the heavenly gift of the Holy Ghost,

41
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,319
prepare us for relationship with you, help us to receive

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,560
it by faith in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and

43
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,719
Amen again. We're preparing for the gift, the gift in

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,479
this case is God's transcript of his character. And there

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,400
is a promise instilled really with this transcript that we

46
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,639
become like him as he writes that same transcript upon

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:54,439
our characters. You understand. Yeah, the ten Commandments law. Let's

48
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:57,840
go ahead and begin reading from Exodus chapter nineteen, and

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,240
I will read a few verses between nineteen and twenty five.

50
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,719
Let's go with nine. I mean between nine and twenty five.

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Let's go with nine, ten, eleven, twelve, sixteen, and eighteen.

52
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,240
And I'll read some of those verses. We'll read not

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,280
all of it. We won't read it all. And the

54
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,759
Bible reads, and the Lord said, unto Moses, Lo, I

55
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,080
come unto THEE in a thick cloud, that the people

56
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:25,400
may hear when I speak to THEE. So God wants

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,240
his people to see the encounter that he has with Moses,

58
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:33,120
because it's not to make Moses some kind of elite

59
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,240
human being who has special privileges that nobody has. Because

60
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,439
he's already established the fact that he's going to make

61
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400
his people peculiar above all people on the earth. He

62
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:48,439
said that they will be a treasure. He will bring

63
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,639
them unto himself. He said that they would be his

64
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:56,840
ambassador's representatives on the entire planet. And so God is

65
00:03:56,919 --> 00:03:59,360
now saying, I'm going to bring Moses close to me.

66
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,879
You can see what your relationship is supposed to look like.

67
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,800
What's your experience with me? Indeed, and in fact is

68
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:11,120
to look like. Because I am drawing you unto myself.

69
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,080
Now hear my voice. He hear my voice, and he

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,920
says that the people may hear that I when I

71
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:21,519
speak to thee verse ten, sanctify them today. So God

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,800
is preparing them for the gift and tomorrow. And let

73
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,600
them wash their clothes and be ready against the third day.

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,000
For the third day the Lord will come down in

75
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,680
the sight of all people Verse twelve. And thou shalt

76
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,319
set bounds unto the people. Take heed to yourselves that

77
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:45,600
ye go not up into the mount nor touch the

78
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,480
border of it. I wish I could show you the

79
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:51,639
sanctuary blueprint right here. Before Moses even goes up the mountain,

80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,759
we see the sanctuary blueprint. There is a border at

81
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,040
the base. Something happens at the base. There are some

82
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,240
that go into the middle or the space in the

83
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,959
mount and they stop there and they are doing something there.

84
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,319
And then there are some just a couple who go

85
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,959
beyond that. And then Moses goes into the cloud. The

86
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,879
sanctuary is clearly seen there. I just literally don't have

87
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,199
the time today to deal with that. But in the

88
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:22,000
book Patriarchs and Prophets, pages three hundred three to three

89
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,160
hundred five, I'll read a little bit of it. In

90
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,000
obedience to the divine command, Moses made known to the

91
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,439
people that the Lord would reveal himself. They must be

92
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,120
sanctified and their garments washed. So when people say that

93
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,959
cleanliness is next to godliness, that is true. I need

94
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:46,199
my son to get that. He's like, all, well, I

95
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,199
shouldn't say, ah, many children, many children. He's still learning that.

96
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,959
There are some of you adults still learning that. Right

97
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,040
on the morning of the third day, as they approached

98
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,519
the mount they beheld a dense cloud enveloping the mountain

99
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,519
and heard the deep sound of the trumpet. God designed

100
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:10,040
to impress them with the sacredness of his law and

101
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:15,199
the awe of his presence. And so she explains, God

102
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,879
used the visible glory. Where is Norman, Niles, where are

103
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,399
you are you listening to me? I said, Glory, Come on, Norman,

104
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,959
start to worship now, She explains, God how he used

105
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:32,759
the visible glory and physical distance to teach reverence and holiness.

106
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:38,560
It wasn't casual, it was covenantal. I said, this experience

107
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,000
was not casual, It was covenantal to sanctify. This is

108
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,120
what he did to his people to set aside, to consecrate,

109
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,920
to prepare for a holy use. This is a spiritual

110
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:56,160
readiness that God is giving. Okay, And so there were

111
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,639
bounds set, a boundary or limit, a border. God marked

112
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:05,480
a c separation between the divine and the common. God

113
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,560
actually said it in the Book of Malachi as he

114
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,720
was talking about tides and offerings and relationship with God.

115
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,319
He said that he listens to the people of God.

116
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,759
He listens to the testimony that they give the world,

117
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:19,879
and some of them are lying witnesses, and they're saying,

118
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,720
what's the use of worshiping God? What is the use

119
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:25,720
of giving all to Him? And then he says, I've

120
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,920
heard this, but I've also heard faithful people. I've heard

121
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,399
faithful people and they are a witness. I've written it

122
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,439
down in the book, and they are a witness for me,

123
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,680
and I'm going to draw a line in the sand.

124
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,600
He didn't say it in those words, But it's there

125
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,120
a line of demarcation to identify. On one side of

126
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,600
that line, those are the people who worship me and

127
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,279
who are faithful, who give a faithful report about me,

128
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:54,920
and then the others are not mine. I'm going to

129
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:03,160
show who are mine. And so we've already identified that

130
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,639
they were sanctified, and they were to wash their clothes,

131
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,399
they were to abide within limits, and they were to approach,

132
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:15,040
not cross the line, but approach with reverence. And then

133
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,040
those who were ushered in step by step into His presence,

134
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,839
they were to go there. So it wasn't a sermon

135
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,279
that we're reading about. No, it's the divine meeting that

136
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:33,279
God has orchestrated in preparation for transformation. Well, how do

137
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,879
we apply that to our lives today? Holiness still requires preparation.

138
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:40,679
We don't just rush in. We don't rush into the

139
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,039
presence of God. We don't stumble and bumble into the

140
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,080
presence of God. We enter with intention, we enter with humility,

141
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:53,840
We enter with purity. Can we purify ourselves? Well know,

142
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,159
But we can submit to the process of God as

143
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,399
He purifies us ha And so boundaries sacredness, God's presence

144
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:08,679
is accessible but it's never casual. So when you come

145
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,759
into his presence, you don't come in casually to just

146
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:16,600
kick it with God, like to just lying. You go

147
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,039
in there understanding that He is the true and Living God,

148
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,679
Blessed be his name, and he is holy. Yes he

149
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:26,200
wants to be our friend, Yes he wants to dwell

150
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,000
among us, but he is still He is still God

151
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,440
and God alone. If we want God to speak clearly,

152
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,279
then we create a space within our own lives for reverence, reflection,

153
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,960
and cleansing. Make it a great day, Peace.

154
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

155
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

156
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

157
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
