02 08 2024 The Lord’s Judgment and the Sanctuary · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep us
• 0:15
  through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of
• 0:20
  that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to live
• 0:25
  healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author
• 0:31
  speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Thursday, February eight, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name
• 0:39
  is Iselle David Harris. I am your host, and this is your Daily
• 0:42
  Portion where we give you Guy's word every single day, and today is no
• 0:46
  exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series through the Book of Psalms,
• 0:50
  and our caption for today is the Lord's Judgment and Sanctuary. The Lord's
• 0:56
  Judgment and Sanctuary. We'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:00
  I'd like to just say thank you and welcome to everyone joining us, and
• 1:04
  ask you please to click that share button. If you're on YouTube, you're
• 1:08
  on Facebook, you're on some other social media platform, you are listening on
• 1:12
  a podcast, if you're even on the radio two hundred plus radio stations right
• 1:18
  now listening. I'm asking you to find a way to share this with someone
• 1:23
  because this could be the difference between eternity with God and eternal separation from God.
• 1:30
  People just need a quick word sometimes in order to get their minds right
• 1:34
  and say, Okay, I'm going to make a commitment to God, and
• 1:38
  so you can be that person to lead them to that time of decision.
• 1:42
  Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father and
• 1:46
  Heaven, Thank you for this day and for the privilege we have to open
• 1:49
  your word. Please help us to live your word. Give us a sanctuary
• 1:55
  mindset. In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Now
• 2:00
  I need to ask you a question, especially considering yesterday's discussion. I told
• 2:06
  you I have a difficult time with the heat that comes through some of those
• 2:09
  psalms. Right, but let me ask you a question. Right when I
• 2:13
  talk to you about judgment. If I say judgment, what do you think?
• 2:17
  Go ahead and type it in the chat. What do you think?
• 2:21
  Do you think of something positive or something kind of fearful? If it's positive
• 2:28
  type of one, if it's fearful type of two in the chat, or
• 2:31
  if it's both type of three in the chat. Yeah, what do you
• 2:36
  think of the fact is that when we're talking about the large judgment and the
• 2:40
  sanctuary, if you are under the sound of my voice, and I guess
• 2:45
  that's kind of for effect, right, Otherwise you wouldn't be Okay, you
• 2:49
  get where I'm going, right, Yeah, If you're under the sound of
• 2:52
  my voice, then the only thing that you need to be most concerned about
• 2:58
  is the positive side. And Okay, now, I know there are people
• 3:01
  who are very technical just like me, and you're like Dave, but you're
• 3:04
  only telling half of the story. Let me just ask you another series of
• 3:07
  questions and let's see if we can get somewhere with this part of my discussion.
• 3:12
  Right, If the judge is God, let's call it. The judge
• 3:22
  is Jesus Christ, God the Son. According to John chapter five and verse
• 3:27
  twenty two, judgment is given to Jesus good. If the judge is Jesus,
• 3:34
  if the advocate is Jesus, if the true and faithful witness is Jesus,
• 3:42
  if the one who takes the punishment for all sins that are confessed,
• 3:47
  that is and forsaken is Jesus. If the Great High Priest, even though
• 3:55
  I did say, advocate already is Jesus, and you surrender your will to
• 4:02
  Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, by faith, can you lose
• 4:08
  in the judgment? You see, the Bible says that there is no fear
• 4:13
  in love, because love casts out fear, for fear hath torment. Those
• 4:17
  who are perfected in love have boldness in the day of judgment. And so
• 4:26
  this is no light matter because people who turn our backs on God, God
• 4:30
  will not remember our righteousness. That's what the Old Testament Bible writer said the
• 4:34
  prophet Ezekiel, that's what God gave him. So we don't take it lightly.
• 4:40
  We should be afflicting our souls knowing that God the judge, the righteous
• 4:44
  judge, who sees and knows everything, even the intents of our heart.
• 4:48
  We should be in a solemn experience, knowing that our will is to now
• 4:56
  submit our will to God so that He can forget our wis sins and transgressions
• 5:01
  and iniquities. Right, and so if you typed one and two and three
• 5:11
  because you're confused, today is your day. God is putting us in a
• 5:15
  position where his sanctuary becomes a refuge for us, where he becomes our dwelling
• 5:23
  place in all generations, where he is our tabernacle, where he becomes our
• 5:27
  sanctuary, a little sanctuary, the Old Testament Bible writer wrote. And so
• 5:30
  we are protected in the sanctuary if we just simply continue to yield our will
• 5:36
  to God. In fact, people find sanctuary. Look up finding sanctuary,
• 5:43
  finding refuge. Look that up in Google or one of your your artificial intelligence
• 5:48
  things, and it'll probably give you a fairly decent answer about what sanctuary actually
• 5:54
  means. Okay, And so the judgments take place in the sanctuary where God
• 6:00
  sees and knows all. The only reason we would need to fear what happens
• 6:04
  in the judgment is if we are not choosing to surrender our will to God.
• 6:10
  And it is in this context now that I read from the Book of
• 6:13
  Psalms, chapter ninety six, and it reads beginning at verse six, honor
• 6:17
  and majesty are before him, Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Did
• 6:24
  you get that? Give unto the Lord? Oh ye, kindreds of the
• 6:28
  people, give unto the Lord, Glory and strength we see that in the
• 6:32
  Book of Revelation chapters four and five, giving God glory and strength. Please
• 6:38
  read that. Yes, give unto the Lord the glory, do his name,
• 6:43
  bring him an offering, and come into his courts. Oh, worship
• 6:46
  the Lord in the beauty of holiness. He wants us to be in his
• 6:51
  beauty, basking like in the sunshine, but better in the beauty of holiness.
• 6:57
  Fear before him all the earth. Say among the heathen that the Lord
• 7:01
  reigneth. The world also shall be established, that it shall not be moved.
• 7:09
  He shall judged people righteously. So if we are appearing in the judgment,
• 7:15
  God judges righteously. The way to be powerful and confident, not God,
• 7:23
  not self confident, but God confident, is if we surrender our will
• 7:28
  to God, so that when we are seen in the judgment, we are
• 7:30
  seen through the prism of light, which is Christ. Psalm chapter nineteen nine
• 7:36
  and verse one. The Lord reigneth, Let the people tremble. He sitteth
• 7:41
  between the cherubims. Let the earth be moved. The Lord is great in
• 7:46
  Zion, he is high above all people. Let them praise Thy great and
• 7:50
  terrible name, for he is holy. Remember God said be ye holy,
• 7:56
  because the Lord your God, or for the Lord God is holy, and
• 8:01
  so his holiness becomes our holiness if we will yield our will to him.
• 8:05
  You got it the King's verse four. Strength also loveth judgment, Thou dost
• 8:11
  establish equity, Thou executeestht judgment and righteousness. In Jacob one more passage.
• 8:18
  Right here, we beginning at a verse seven, apologize Psalm chapter one hundred
• 8:24
  and thirty two. We will go into his tabernacles. We will worship at
• 8:31
  his footstool. A rise, O Lord, into thy rest Thou and the
• 8:37
  ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and thy
• 8:45
  saints shout for joy. This is speaking generically about what happens when we yield
• 8:52
  our will to God. Even in the Old Testament sanctuary, the priests and
• 8:56
  the people could shout for joy on that day of atonement may call yam kippor
• 9:01
  when all of the camp of God's people were pure, when they would surrender
• 9:07
  themselves to God and confess and forsake their sins. And now we can shout
• 9:13
  for joy. Why because we are all clean, clean in the sight of
• 9:18
  God, and we have sanctuary in that regard and so here are three action
• 9:24
  steps. Cultivate reverence in your daily life. Regularly practice confession and seeking forgiveness
• 9:33
  from God. And then find assurance in Jesus Christ, because He is for
• 9:37
  us in the judgment, not against us, if we yield our will to
• 9:41
  him. Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth
• 9:52
  of God. This has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:56
  it a great day. Yeah,
