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
00:00:15,199 --> 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 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, August

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,920
thirty one, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,799
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,679
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:49,920
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,359
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and our

16
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:56,799
caption for today is the Book and the Blood. The

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,280
Book and the Blood. We'll get into that in just

18
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:02,759
a moment, but before we do, I'd like to just

19
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:04,920
say welcome to you and ask you to go over

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,159
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,799
pick up the Your Daily Portion Life application guide, and

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,200
let us know where you are in the world at

23
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,480
your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,760
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

25
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:28,560
go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,239
Thank you, Thank you for this new day and for

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,680
the privilege you've entrusted to us to come together in

28
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,120
this manner. Thank You for the new week. Please help

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,000
us to see our response to You in relationship as relational,

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,120
not as formulaic, not as a way to prove something

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400
or trying to earn something. In Jesus' name, I pray,

32
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:58,799
Amen and a man again. I am very systems oriented.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,400
I'm very structure, but I don't believe in structure as

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,560
the basis of my relationship with God. Now, when I

35
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:10,280
say that, I am not saying that I don't believe

36
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:13,240
in the ten Commandment's law. I am not saying that

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,199
I have a problem with the blueprint that God showed

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,879
us in his law, statutes and judgments, and in the

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,240
sanctuary platform that he showed us and taught us the

40
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,240
plan of salvation. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that

41
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:33,879
I don't see prayer as something that's obligatory somehow, and

42
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:39,120
if I tick the box that I've fulfilled that obligation,

43
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:43,879
then God owes me something not in that way. I

44
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,680
really want to come into his presence with thanksgiving and

45
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:51,280
with praise, because he's the one who who not only

46
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,240
created me because that was a long time ago, but

47
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:56,960
he's the one that's keeping me. He's the one that's

48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,400
giving me the opportunity with all these lights here and

49
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,000
with this my to reach out to you. Every single day.

50
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,439
I said I wanted to change the world for Christ,

51
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,479
and He's given me a platform. And so I see

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,960
that as a way to say thank you and to

53
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,360
experience Him so that I can share whatever he puts

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,800
in me with my family. He gave me a family

55
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,599
that is holy and a family that is healthy when

56
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:26,439
I didn't necessarily grow up in a family that was healthy.

57
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:29,439
And so now I go to God and say, God,

58
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,599
You're so good, Like, how do we even improve this?

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,319
Like how can I be How can I demonstrate how

60
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,960
much I appreciate you? Can you show me how to

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,919
live in a way that pleases you? And so yes,

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000
with all of the structure that God gives us, he

63
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:49,360
also gives us the privilege to do this through relationship

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
and in the Bible, in the Bible Book of Exodus,

65
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:57,199
chapter twenty four, we see formula. We see structure that

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,479
God gave. But again, his purpose was so that He

67
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,039
could dwell among us, not that we could become like

68
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:07,759
really just good at structure. In Exodus twenty four, beginning

69
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:10,759
at verse one, the Bible reads, now he said to Moses,

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,639
come up unto the Lord, you and Aaron Nadab and

71
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:19,000
abye you and seventy of the elders of Israel, and

72
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,480
worship from Afar off. So God is welcoming them. He

73
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,040
has given them an invitation into his presence. And the

74
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,000
Bible says in verse two, and Moses alone shall come

75
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,040
near to the Lord, but they shall not come near,

76
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,480
nor shall the people go up with him. So Moses

77
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:42,920
came and told the people all of the words of

78
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:45,399
the Lord and all of the judgments. And all of

79
00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:47,879
the people answered with one voice. We read this a

80
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,279
couple of times yesterday, all of what God said, We're

81
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,639
gonna do that. Verse four, And Moses wrote all the

82
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,800
words of the Lord. And he rose early in the

83
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,319
morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain.

84
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,240
I want you to see the positions here. So where

85
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,480
is he He is at the foot of the mountain.

86
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,319
He's worshiping, building an altar at the foot of the

87
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:20,800
mountain and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

88
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,199
Then he sent young men of the children of Israel

89
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:31,519
who burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of the oxen

90
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120
to the Lord. I want you to see this position

91
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:36,920
as the alter court. I wish I had the time.

92
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:39,879
I know we don't have the blueprint for the sanctuary

93
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,319
historically yet at this moment. But God is showing his

94
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,759
people something verse six. And Moses took half of the

95
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,319
blood and put it in the basins, and half of

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,040
the blood he sprinkled it on the altar, and took

97
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:54,160
the book of the Covenant and read it in the

98
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,000
hearing of the people, and said all they said, all

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,759
that the Lord has done. That said, that's what we're

100
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,639
going on do and be obedient. And Moses took the

101
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:08,000
blood sprinkled it in on the people. This is the

102
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,480
blood of the Covenant which the Lord has made with you,

103
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,920
according to all these words. And so they sealed their

104
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:24,240
relationship by blood. I think Jesus gave his blood for us.

105
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,160
I think the Bible says, for God so loved the

106
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,560
world that he gave his only begattum Son. Not just gave,

107
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:35,360
but Jesus died for us that whosoever believe in him

108
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,519
won't perish but have everlasting life. And so now we

109
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:44,240
see this covenantal experience and even some of the details

110
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,000
playing out right in front of us in real time.

111
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,439
And so now at the base of the mount, they're

112
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,040
worshiping and giving sacrifice. The appropriate parties are worship and

113
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,720
they're worshiping, and the appropriate parties are giving sacrifice, and

114
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,959
God says, I'm going to have Moses come as near

115
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,399
as possible to me. So in the outer court, if

116
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:08,720
you want to say, they're giving sacrifice and they're worshiping. Yes,

117
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,720
Moses at some point is going to go up into

118
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,000
the cloud with God. And in the interim space there's

119
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,120
going to be some men who are eating and drinking

120
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,399
in the mount, but not in the final station where

121
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,680
God is going to commune with Moses. So we're starting

122
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,759
to see the blueprint for the sanctuary early in this discussion,

123
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,319
as God is about to give him the good stuff. Now,

124
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:39,480
let me just read from the book Selected Messages, Book one,

125
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040
page three hundred and eighty eight. Somebody's eyes just opened,

126
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,279
like what, Yes, Yes, we'll continue in the days to come.

127
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,199
And it reads the only way in which men will

128
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,720
be able to stand firm in the conflict is to

129
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,759
be rooted and grounded, where in Christ. They must receive

130
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:03,079
the truth as it is in Jesus. And it is

131
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,360
only as the truth is presented in connection with Jesus

132
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,959
that it can be of any value to us. So

133
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,959
all of the details, I'm detail oriented, excruciating details. I

134
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,800
love them. However, the details will not save us. The

135
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:25,720
micro details will not save us. Will learn from them.

136
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,199
Some of us will, even God forbid, become proud because

137
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:34,399
we are able to give very good responses related to

138
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,480
the details that some people didn't see. Like this morning,

139
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,759
I showed you a little bit of the sanctuary blueprint

140
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,279
before we get the sanctuary. It's like whoa, and you

141
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,279
can cheer in applaud but that ain't gonna get you

142
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,200
no closer to God. My ability to see that is

143
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,440
not getting me closer to God. It's just the privilege

144
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,759
that God has given us through Christ, that we will

145
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,720
actually begin to live in covenant with Him. And so

146
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,120
the first one, the covenant lesson for today, pardon me.

147
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,519
The covenant is not only a regular kind of a contract,

148
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:14,360
it's relationship built on God's word. Our second lesson. The blood,

149
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,360
in this case symbolizes dependence on divine power because the

150
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,279
life is in the blood. God gives us our lives.

151
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,440
And then, finally, relationship with God must be personal and oh,

152
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,679
by the way, experienced every single day, every single day,

153
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120
every night. This week, I want you to speak to

154
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,240
God as personally as possible. Don't make it a script, though,

155
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,480
talk to him about your actual day.

156
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

157
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

158
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

159
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

160
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

161
00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:58,039
it a great day.

162
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah,
