Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
- 0:22Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
- 0:26Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
- 0:31Speaker 1: author speaker Elle David Harris.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, good marninging. It is Monday, December one,
- 0:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
- 0:44Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, and
- 0:47Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
- 0:50Speaker 2: study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption
- 0:54Speaker 2: for today is type and Anti Type. We talked about
- 0:58Speaker 2: that a little bit yesterday, but we're gonna make it
- 1:01Speaker 2: make more sense today. I want to illustrate it in
- 1:04Speaker 2: a way that hopefully it will it will not just
- 1:08Speaker 2: resonate with us intellectually, but somehow transform us by the
- 1:12Speaker 2: renewing of our mind. Okay, so I'd just like to
- 1:15Speaker 2: say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining us
- 1:18Speaker 2: for the very first time. Please go over to your

- 1:36Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
- 1:39Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father, thank you, thank
- 1:44Speaker 2: you for not leaving us in the dark, thank you
- 1:49Speaker 2: for not letting us still be in the shadows. Thank
- 1:54Speaker 2: you for Jesus. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and
- 1:58Speaker 2: Amen again. As I have said over the years to you,
- 2:02Speaker 2: as we've done this every single day, that the Lesson
- 2:06Speaker 2: Study Guide, the Adult Study Guide, was not intended for
- 2:09Speaker 2: what I do here, and so I will always use
- 2:14Speaker 2: a special spin on what the lesson writer has been teaching,
- 2:18Speaker 2: because how do you squeeze all of the lesson into
- 2:21Speaker 2: the few minutes we have? And so today I'm going
- 2:24Speaker 2: to cherry pick one of the concepts here, one of
- 2:28Speaker 2: the concepts of at least one of the concepts, and
- 2:34Speaker 2: it is the sanctuary. Okay, so we're going to focus
- 2:36Speaker 2: our attention here, unless we have more time than I
- 2:40Speaker 2: think we do. We're going to focus on those three
- 2:43Speaker 2: phases that the lesson writer has prescribed. One is the crystological,
- 2:50Speaker 2: the second is the ecclesiastical, and finally eschatological. Christological basically
- 2:57Speaker 2: means christ like. What it has to do with Jesus, ecclesiasts, ecclesiological.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I said it wrong the first time. What does it
- 3:06Speaker 2: have to do with the Church of God? And of
- 3:09Speaker 2: course eschatological has to do with the last days. Okay,
- 3:13Speaker 2: so let's go with our lesson number one, right out
- 3:16Speaker 2: of John chapter one and verse fourteen. John chapter one
- 3:20Speaker 2: and verse fourteen, where the Bible reads and the word
- 3:23Speaker 2: was made flesh? Who was the word? Go ahead and
- 3:25Speaker 2: type in the chat who was the word? The word
- 3:29Speaker 2: was made flesh? That's Jesus. And what dwelt among us?
- 3:34Speaker 2: I want you to focus on the phrase, and dwelt
- 3:38Speaker 2: among us? The Bible continues, and we beheld his glory,
- 3:43Speaker 2: the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,
- 3:47Speaker 2: full of grace and truth. So much to say here,
- 3:51Speaker 2: but let me just stay narrowly focused. And so the
- 3:55Speaker 2: term the Greek term for dwelt for dwelt is sknu
- 4:00Speaker 2: or sku, that's the right pronunciation. It means to pitch
- 4:04Speaker 2: a tent, to pitch a tent. I come from the
- 4:08Speaker 2: hood like I don't. I've never pitched a tent in
- 4:10Speaker 2: my life. So, but I've seen people pitch tents to tabernacle. Okay,
- 4:16Speaker 2: a verb to tabernacle. Okay. That's when Jesus became flesh.
- 4:22Speaker 2: He fulfilled the sanctuary symbol. God no longer dwelt in
- 4:28Speaker 2: a structure or a building the Old Testament. Remember, have
- 4:33Speaker 2: them make me, I probably getting ahead of myself, have
- 4:35Speaker 2: them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.
- 4:39Speaker 2: And so now Jesus is here. And what God is
- 4:42Speaker 2: showing us is that he's pitching his tent with us
- 4:46Speaker 2: in and among us through Christ, and not needing the
- 4:51Speaker 2: physical structure that the people of God would take around
- 4:55Speaker 2: in the wilderness. No longer needing Solomon's temple, no longer
- 5:00Speaker 2: needing any of the other temples historically, some of which
- 5:03Speaker 2: we've spoken about on this program. Right, God no longer
- 5:07Speaker 2: dwelt in a building made with hands, but in the
- 5:10Speaker 2: person of his son. What does Emmanuel mean? The Bible
- 5:15Speaker 2: gave that name identification of Christ. At the same time
- 5:19Speaker 2: it means God with us. His name will be Immanuel.
- 5:25Speaker 2: That being interpreted God with us the same thing where
- 5:28Speaker 2: it says the Word made flesh and dwelt among us.
- 5:31Speaker 2: So now we are seeing where God through Christ is
- 5:36Speaker 2: tabernacling with us. He's pitching his tent in humanity and
- 5:42Speaker 2: on planet Earth when Jesus lived on planet Earth for
- 5:44Speaker 2: thirty three and one half years. And now, well, I
- 5:48Speaker 2: won't go too far. I'll just pause right there. And
- 5:51Speaker 2: so what I want you to do is to meditate
- 5:53Speaker 2: on this. I'm talking about actual meditation. Like God, what
- 5:56Speaker 2: do you mean by I'm really thankful for? How do
- 5:59Speaker 2: I apply right? Meditate on Christ's presence in your life.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Begin each day by inviting Him to tabernacle to dwell
- 6:11Speaker 2: in your heart and guide your thoughts. I'm talking about
- 6:15Speaker 2: when people are gossiping at work. I'm talking about when
- 6:19Speaker 2: somebody in your household is disruptive. I'm talking about in
- 6:22Speaker 2: church when those committee meetings are not going in the
- 6:25Speaker 2: way that you hoped that they would go, and some
- 6:28Speaker 2: people seem to not have prayed like they should have,
- 6:31Speaker 2: which is why they're behaving that they are God when
- 6:34Speaker 2: you're in me? How do I live? How do I
- 6:36Speaker 2: respond to what's happening. Let's move to lessen number two,
- 6:40Speaker 2: and by the way, transform me. Please, God, will you
- 6:43Speaker 2: please transform me by the renewing of my mind? Well you,
- 6:46Speaker 2: since Jesus is tabernacling with me in me, can you
- 6:51Speaker 2: please make me like him? Help me to assume the
- 6:54Speaker 2: mindset of Christ. Lesson number two, the church becomes God's
- 7:00Speaker 2: dwelling place, the ecclesiological phase. This is coming in from
- 7:04Speaker 2: First Corinthians, Chapter three, verses sixteen and seventeen. The Bible reads, no,
- 7:10Speaker 2: he not that you are the temple of God and
- 7:13Speaker 2: the Spirit of God. Dwelleth in you if any man
- 7:17Speaker 2: defile the temple of God? Oh wait a minute, Am
- 7:21Speaker 2: I defiling the temple of God? I am the temple
- 7:23Speaker 2: of God? The things? Oh be careful little eyes what
- 7:26Speaker 2: I see. Oh be careful little mouth what I say.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Oh be careful little ears what I hear. Oh be
- 7:31Speaker 2: careful little feet where I go. There's a father up
- 7:34Speaker 2: above looking down in tender love. Oh be careful all
- 7:37Speaker 2: of what we just said, because it matters, because we
- 7:40Speaker 2: are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Am I defiling
- 7:44Speaker 2: this temple, Bible says him, shall God destroy, For the
- 7:48Speaker 2: Temple of God is holy. Not talking about a building.
- 7:53Speaker 2: We're talking about you. You put your name here. I
- 7:57Speaker 2: am holy because God says so, because the Holy ghost
- 8:00Speaker 2: is dwelling there, because Jesus is dwelling there, which temple
- 8:05Speaker 2: y are. Now. I won't go into all of the
- 8:08Speaker 2: details of the Greek here, but basically nils means inner sanctuary.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Through the in dwelling holy ghosts, Believers collectively from Gods
- 8:20Speaker 2: collectively form God's living temple on earth, living temple on earth.
- 8:26Speaker 2: The holiness, once confined to the most holy place, also
- 8:33Speaker 2: fills the hearts of God's people. I wish I had
- 8:36Speaker 2: the time treat your body and your community as sacred spaces.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Lesson number three. Let's get it really quickly. The eschatological
- 8:45Speaker 2: or last Day's implications. The Bible reads in Revelation chapter
- 8:50Speaker 2: twenty one and verse twenty two, as we come to
- 8:53Speaker 2: a swift close, and I saw no temple Therein this
- 8:56Speaker 2: is a thousand years after, a thousand years after Jesus comes.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So we're in heaven for a thousand years. And then
- 9:02Speaker 2: we are starting to really pay close attention to the city,
- 9:06Speaker 2: the Holy City, and I saw no temple therein, for
- 9:08Speaker 2: the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple thereof.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I wish I had the time to get into that
- 9:16Speaker 2: Greek and all of that. But let me just fast forward.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Live with heaven in view, Live with the earth made
- 9:23Speaker 2: new in view. Let the promise of God's eternal presence
- 9:27Speaker 2: motivate you and to prepare you for holy, holy dwelling.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Every single day and the last days. We are preparing
- 9:36Speaker 2: not for all the crazy signs, but for finally, face
- 9:39Speaker 2: to face communion with God throughout eternity. Make it a
- 9:43Speaker 2: great day, Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
