Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

(00:22):
today and receive the power we need to live healthy.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Vibrant lives.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker
Elle David Harris.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It is Friday, September twenty six, twenty twenty five. Hello,
my name is El David Harris. I am your host,
and this is your Daily Portion where we give you
God's word every single day.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
And today is no exception.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
We are completing our lesson study series through the Book
of Exodus, and our caption for today is the Sanctuary
God's dwelling and our Redemption. The Sanctuary God's dwelling and
our Redemption. Before we get into that, I'd like to
say welcome to you and ask you to go over
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

(01:13):
pick up the new Your Daily Portion Life application guide,
and let us know where you are in the world
at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
Let's pray, Father, thank you for the time that you've
invested in us all of our lives, but especially for

(01:34):
these last thirteen weeks where we got to see the pathway,
the journey from being in bondage into freedom. And thank
you Father for dwelling among us the entire time. Please
teach us to live for you. Now in Jesus' name,
I pray Amen and Amen again. Yeah, so I'm thankful

(01:57):
that our lesson study doesn't take a plastic turn after today.
This is one of the times I don't remember, actually,
in the last couple of decades, I don't remember where
the church has given us sort of a continuation study.
There may have been, but I just don't recall that.
Maybe with Ezra and Nehemiah, I don't recall. But in

(02:17):
this case, I love that we are going to the
story of Joshua and God's people at the point from
the point that they enter now the second generation of
God's people who were freed from Egyptian captivity, and Joshua
and Caleb go into the promise from that point forward.
So I'm looking forward to that day beginning tomorrow if

(02:41):
the Lord spaars life. But for today, as we wrap
up this lesson, we go to the Book of Exodus,
chapter six and verse seven, where the Bible reads, and
I will take you to me for a people, and
I will be to you for God, and ye shall
know that I am the law Lord, your God, which

(03:01):
bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptian
I need you to remember at all times. Really, it's
not me. God wants you to remember at all times
that the reason He delivered you, the reason why He
has taken it upon himself to deliver you from all
that binds you, that from all that oppresses you, is

(03:22):
because He wants a relationship with you. And when people
are oppressed, when people are bound to their sin, sickness,
and disease, when people are bound to our evil habits
and the desire to do things contrary to God's will,
then that is an impediment. It's in the way of
good relationship with him. And therefore, when he builds this

(03:46):
plan of salvation and shows us how some of it
works through the Sanctuary service, the tabernacling reality. It is
because He wants us to see that He has pulled
out all the stops. He has left no stone unturned,
so that He could have us in relationship with him forever.

(04:07):
So redemption precedes worship and access to God. He had
to deliver us from some things so that we could
learn to worship, so we could be free enough to worship.
Being bound to the enemy makes it impossible for us
to worship the one true and Living God, Blessed be
his name. So I'm grateful. I'm grateful. God redeemed his

(04:29):
people before he invited them into covenant fellowship, before he
gave them the Ten Commandments law written by his own
finger on those tables of sapphire stone. He redeemed them first.
He delivered them first. Ah, And redemption is always the
foundation for true worship.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
For people who attempt to worship God without first surrendering
our will to God, it becomes a mockery, it becomes
a joke, and God ain't playing game with us. And
so the action for today in this regard is to
approach God in worship and with gratitude for his saving
work in your life, saving you first, redeeming you first,

(05:14):
delivering you first, and then showing you your responsibility. I'm
thankful that God is an orderly god, yes, and I
hope you are too. So we go into Deuteronomy, chapter
twenty six and verse seventeen. Now, and the Bible reads
in Deuteronomy chapter twenty six and verse seventeen. Today, today
you have declared the Lord to be your God. So

(05:38):
the people are agreeing. Today you've declared the Lord to
be your God, and that you will walk in his
ways and keep his statutes and commandments and ordinances and
obey him. Today you've done that, So let that be
your reality. God said, it's better to not make a vow,

(06:00):
to make a vow and then break it. God has
given us every opportunity to come into relationship with him,
and that means He will empower us with the peace
that we need, the rest that we need, the energy
that we need in order to do His will. When
it goes against our human nature. He can give us

(06:21):
what we need so so that today we can be
new born citizens of the Kingdom of God throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity. So review the Ten Commandments. I
know what I just said. Review the Ten Commandments regularly
I'm talking about the ones in Exodus twenty Deuteronomy chapter

(06:42):
was it five or fifteen? I don't know. My brain
is fried at this moment.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yes, go to those ten commandments regularly and allow them
to shape how you treat God and others, how you
treat God and others. The script for that is writing
your Bible. Yes, okay. And then for our third and

(07:07):
final lesson for today is from Hebrews chapter nine, beginning
at verse eleven. Hebrews chapter nine beginning at verse eleven,
and the Bible reads, but Christ being come a high
priest of good things to come by a greater and
more perfect tabernacle. You see, it was never about the

(07:29):
Old Testament sacrifice, sacrificial system. It was never about that
tabernacle that they would they would, they would take up
and move as God moved them throughout the wilderness. It
was never about those sacrifices. It was never about Leviticus
chapters one through seven and all of those details. It

(07:49):
was never about those things. It was that those things
really guided us to understand God better, guided us to
through a kindergarten sort of view, so that we could
pace ourselves into the kind of relationship that God approves
we had a lot to overcome, So God gave us
the kind of training that we need. It's a greater

(08:12):
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands. That is
to say, not of this building, neither by the blood
of goats. I just said that, neither by the blood
of calves. I just said that, but by his own blood.
How many people are grateful today for the blood of
Jesus Christ, which taketh away all of our sins? Are

(08:34):
you grateful that Jesus died once for all so that
we can be holy people, no longer bound to our
sinful treasures and behaviors and lifestyles. That God has given
us that great heart transplant, where He has taken from
us the heart of stone, and he has placed in
us the heart of flesh. Are you grateful by his

(08:57):
own blood? The Bible says he entered into He entered
once into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
No need for God through Christ to do all of
this stuff over and over again. No the daily and
yearly sacrifices or services pointed to Jesus's ultimate ministry, his death,

(09:19):
his priestly work, and the final cleansing of God's people
and the universe from sin. He does that once for all,
and I'm grateful, and so I want you to study
the Sanctuary services to understand more deeply how Christ is
working for your salvation. Even today. I'm looking forward to

(09:40):
the day that we see Jesus face to face. Until then,
we still serve him. Thanks for joining us listening.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
Make it a great day. Yeah,
