• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we will get underway. Bother in heaven, thank you for
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: giving us this day our daily bread. Thank you for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: giving us the model for holiness, for being holy. Thank
• 2:07

• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and be saved. I pray that we will assume your
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: character in our lives. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and Amen again, Oh My Holy in dig nation. Listen,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: there was a time and I don't want to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: too triggering, so I'll just leave it as simple as that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There was a time. Let me fix this mic for
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the people who are watching online. Yeah, there was a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: time when people were really confused all around the world
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: in media about what is holy indignation versus just human indignation.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Like there are people who take their indignation too far
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and they're not being eyes honest and truthful. They are
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: not being honest and truthful about where this rage comes from.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Can I just say that there are times that we
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: try to blame God for how we behave and we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: are firing in ways that God is not pleased. Bible
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: actually says Jesus said, like they're going to take you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and do all kinds of evil things to you, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: even take your lives, thinking that they're doing God's work.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And it's like what what? So you have heard it
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: said of them of old time, thou shalt not murder.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But I say unto you. Jesus said in Matthew chapter
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: five that if you have anger with your brother, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'll add by extension your sister without a cause, you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: are in danger of the judgment. You're like, but, Dave,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: is there anything wrong with being indignant? Is there anything
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: wrong with being angry. Bible says that we need to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: be angry and sin not. Now, I know this is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: going to take some of you for loop, but he's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: telling you two things not to do. Can I say
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that again? The Bible writer is teaching us two things
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: not to do. Go back to the text. You can
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: look it up, be angry and sin not. People are like, oh, okay,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: well that means that I can just be angry as
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: long as I don't sin about it, right, And it's like, okay, yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: let me just go back to the text. He said, Okay,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: therefore you need to put away all wrath, all anger,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and some more things on the list. And it's like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: uh oh, and so you're talking too fast, Dave. What
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: does that mean? There is a kind of anger that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: has has a human focus that does not please God.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: See today we're going to talk about righteous indignation. There
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: are times when you see injustice against the life, the main,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the blind, the halt, against our children, against people we love,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the widows, our wives, people who are being disrespected. Like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: when you see that, this should be a measure of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: anger that is from God, our source. We're a resource. God,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: our source, and Jesus He demonstrated that in Matthew, chapter
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: twenty one and verse twelve. The Bible says, Uh and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Jesus went into the Temple of God and cast out
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: all of them that sold and brought and bought in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and the seats of them that sold doves like these
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: individuals were making. We're monetizing ministry and limiting people who
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: did not have the kind of resources they needed in
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: order to provide sacrifice. They turned it into some kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of monetize religion. And Jesus said, no, this is my
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: father's house, which is a house of prayer for all people.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But you have made it I dent of thieve. See,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: his indignation was holy. Jesus shows his indignation towards those
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: who were corrupting the worship at God's house, you see,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And so this indignation was attached to holiness. This indignation
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: was about the name of God. This indignation was about
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: misrepresenting the character of God by people who are making
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: merchandise of ministry, making merchandise of coming closer and connecting
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: with God. Would he turn over the money changers in
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: some of our houses of worship. Would he turn over
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the table of the money changers in some of our homes. Well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that's for you to determine. But we see another example
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: with a human that is not Jesus in Exodus, chapter
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: thirty two and verse nineteen. The Bible reads, and it
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: came to pass as soon as he came nigh unto
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the camp. You see, Moses was in the mount with God.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: He's receiving a blessing. He's learning those ten ominous words,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: those holy ten commandments that are now in a new
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Covenant written in our hearts and on our minds, then
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: emblazoned on sapphire blue sapphire stones. I know somebody was like,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: what did you just say blue? Yeah, they were not
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: beige or brown or gray. Blue sapphire stones cut right
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: from the throne of God. I wish I had the time,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: But he's receiving that and the blueprint for the sanctuary,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the Kindergarten view of the plan of salvation before Jesus
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: lived on planet Earth. And so Moses is up there
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in the mount and in the cloud and with God.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And it came to pass as soon as he came
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: nigh unto the camp and he saw the cast. See
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: now Aaron is down at the base of the mountain
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: building these people in idol, which is what to replace God.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: We don't know where Moses is. You need to give
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: us something to worship. And this dude actually built them
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a golden calf to quote replace God, Oh my word.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And so he saw the calf and the dancing, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Moses's anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of his hands and break them. Beneath the mount You
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: see the people of God are worshiping another God before him,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the brother of Moses, who is really like the He
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: was the original of the priesthood. He is leading in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the charge in false worship, and Moses is receiving all
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: kinds of light and holiness from God. And they're down
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: there breaking every covenant, every law. They're breaking relationship with God.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: And now he's angry in this case holy indignation. You see,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it was about the honor of God. And if we
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: looked at the story of Elijah and the prophets of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Baal and Astrooth, we would have seen it in that story.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We would have seen in Paul's ministry many times, like
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in Galatians chapter one where he's correcting believers Jesus rebuking
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the storm like Jesus demonstrates his authority over the storm, etc.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: We see different times in Bible history where there is
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: indignation that's holy, so we need to ask God it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: mine holy.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
