• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  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're going to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: change all of that. Let's experience God's words today and

  Speaker 1: receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: thank you for giving us this day of preparation. The
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Sabbath is coming and our time with you is so important.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you now to fill us with your spirit
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and give us your mindset. God, because you have given
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: us the desire to serve, You, help us to keep
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that desire. In Jesus' name. I pray, Amen, Amen, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a man again. Our term sanctification means that God has
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: set us aside to be his, to be his for
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a holy use. Yeah, God has set us aside for
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a holy use, to be in relationship with Him. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: so our first and most important thing this morning, at
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: least from my perspective. Now. I might change my mind
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: if I study again, But right now, sanctification is not
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a feeling, you know, they say in some churches, is saved, sanctified,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: filled with the Holy Ghost, And usually that accompanies a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: flight of feeling. Ah, it really is, though the Holy
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Spirit taking true and full possession of our lives, emptied
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of self. Every appetite left unchecked is a door that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the enemy will run through, not walk slowly, not walk briskly,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: but run right through if anything is left unchecked. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: so we begin with our first lesson for today. From
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians, chapter ten and verse seven. First Corinthians, Chapter
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: ten and verse seven. The Bible says, do not be idolators,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: don't put anything above God, as some of them were.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: As it is written, the people sat down to eat
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and drink and rose up to play. That was some
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: wicked playing that the people of God did, as God
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: was delivering them from captivity and giving them a new mindset.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They decided many of them to play in God's face,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: like to not fully surrender to him. They were idolators,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and so an idolator in this case that it's a one, two, three, four,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: or five six six syllable Greek word. Let me see
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: if I can make do anything with this A do la.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I can't do it, A do lo la trace I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: destroyed that word. But whatever it is, it means an idolator,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: one who worships an idol In the Biblical pattern, idolatry
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: consistently opened the door to physical indulgence and get this
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: sexual sin. So idolatry and sexual sin went together biblically.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The worship of anything other than God degrades the empentire person.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And in another way we see that I gluttony sexual
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: immorality are listed together in Paul's catalogs because they flow
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: from the same source idolatry. Gluttony You don't have control
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: over your appetite, whether it's food and drink or something else. Idolatry, gluttony,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and sexual immorality are listed together in Paul's catalogs because
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they flow from the same source, a life that is
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: oriented around satisfying self rather than glorifying God. So if
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I put myself first, and I don't mean in a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: godly way I'm saying in place of God, then more
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: than likely I have sexually immoral thoughts and our God
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: forbid actions. I'd likely have an out of control appetite.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Where God says do eat this, I choose to eat that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: God says don't eat that, and God forbid I choose
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to eat that instead. And so what do we need
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to do if that is well, whether it's our reality
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: or not, what do we need to do to insulate
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: against this kind of a lifestyle. Examine your daily appetites today.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Is it an appetite for anger and rage, for arguing,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: for not listening to wise counsel? Is it an appetite
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for too much of the wrong things, whether it be food,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: or entertainment or pleasure. Ask God to show you where
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: self is still on the throne. This is between you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and God, not between you us and God, but between
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you and God. The second lesson is coming in from
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Romans Chapter twelve, verses one and two. Romans Chapter twelve,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: verses one and two, where the Bible reads, I beseech you, therefore, brethren,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a living sacrifice holy were presenting ourselves to God and saying, God,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: will you make us holy? Ah acceptable unto God? Which
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is your reasonable service. It's reasonable if God is making
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you holy for you to serve God.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: If God be God, the Bible writer said, in a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: real live example and a real life experience, then then
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: serve him. Please do that. Oh my, turn that down.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Please do that and do it now. It is your
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: reasonable service. And don't be conformed to this world, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This is
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: what the Bible says. And so to be transformed means
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to be changed from the inside out. Metamorpho, metamorpho, to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: be changed. That's the term from which we get more
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: metamorphosis from the inside out. This is not a behavioral
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: change merely or behavior modification. That's my training to do
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: behavior modification and management. It is a deep inward renewal
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: worked by the Holy Ghost that reshapes the entire person.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's not just refraining from certain things. We're not talking
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: about that. It's an actual transformation like that butterfly and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: cocoon concept. Butterfly, caterpillar and all of that. Look that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: up and you'll get what God is saying. He wants
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to transform us. And so the action for us is
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to begin today, even in this moment, by presenting your
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: body to God, your mind to God, name it as his. God,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: This is your mind, Please take it from me, This
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is your body. God, Will you please take it from
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: me as yours. Do that in prayer, and then ask
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Him to fill every part of this mind, every part
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of this body, with his spirit, and then invite him
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to do what only God can do. Aren't you glad
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: that He is able, more than able to keep that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: which we give to him. Yes. In the Home Missionary
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: November eighteen ninety three, we read when one is fully
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: emptied of self, when every false God is cast out
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of the soul, the vacuumus supplied by the inflowing of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the Spirit of Christ. Such a one has the faith
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: which works by love and purifies the soul and every
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: moral and spiritual defilement. Y'all make it a great day,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: happy Sabbath when it comes peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your Daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day, yeah,
