05 26 2024 The Sanctuary and the Law · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

  I say that already? The caption is Sanctuary and the Law. I hope

  I did well. Otherwise I just repeated it. Let's go ahead and pray
• 1:30
  and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, Thank you for giving
• 1:33

• 1:38

• 1:42

  time and build a relationship in your courts. Father, Please help us to
• 1:53
  respect your law, respect your sanctuary, Respect you in Jesus name. I
• 1:57
  pray, Amen and Amen again. Well, I know we don't have a
• 2:02
  lot of time, but yesterday I really should have shared this song with you
• 2:07
  that comes from the Book of Psalms, the Book of Psalms, chapter nineteen,
• 2:10
  that comes on the heels of a discussion about God's God's beauty in his
• 2:15
  creation, how the heavens declare the glory of the Lord, and all of
• 2:22
  this manifests his handiwork right, and then the Bible writer goes into another part
• 2:28
  of the psalm that we have sung many times in the past, and I
• 2:31
  will sing some of it today. From verse seven. The law of the
• 2:38
  Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure,
• 2:50
  making wise the samemple. More to bedside are they then gold ye ain't
• 2:59
  then much for fine gold sweeter also than honey, honey and the hony cone.
• 3:12
  The statutes of the Lord are ride rejoicing the haunt. The commandment of
• 3:22
  the Lord is pulled, enlightening the yydes. More to bdsied are they than
• 3:32
  gold, yea, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the
• 3:44
  hon he call Verse nine. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring
• 3:53
  foradver. The judgments of the Lord Lord are true and righteous, all to
• 4:03
  gasther. More to b d side are they than gold yea, then much
• 4:12
  fine gold, sweeter also than honey, huney and the honey cold Verse fourteen.
• 4:25
  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptabullying
• 4:35
  by side, Oh Lord, my strengthen my re d murder. More to
• 4:44
  b d side are they than gold, yeain? Then much fine gold sweeter
• 4:53
  also than honey huhney and the huny cold. If you were singing with me,
• 5:01
  go ahead and type of one in the chat, please, type of
• 5:04
  one in the chat. And for those who are trying to figure out,
• 5:06
  well, where does that refrain come from, it comes from verse ten.
• 5:11
  And I'm so thankful that these are psalms, these are songs, these are
• 5:15
  spiritual songs. And the Bible writers said that we are to make melody in
• 5:19
  our hearts unto the Lord with these. And so I'm thankful that the word
• 5:25
  of God is so encouraging, how encouraging that we can even sing along with
• 5:29
  it. But beyond that, we see that the word of God is sure,
• 5:33
  including his law. And so the key for today is if you want
• 5:39
  to change the law of God, I don't know why you would want to
• 5:42
  do that. If you want to change the law of God, you're going
• 5:46
  to have to move him off his throne. If you want to change the
• 5:49
  law of God, you're going to have to move him off his throne.
• 5:54
  Because we see in the Old Testament system of sacrifices, the arc of the
• 5:58
  covenant representing the throne of God under the mercy seat is where God kept those
• 6:03
  sapphire. I said, sapphire, you need to study the Bible. If
• 6:06
  you think that the stones, the stone tablets were like granite, some kind
• 6:11
  of weird granite color like beige or gray or brownish, then study closely that
• 6:16
  the sapphire stones that were actually pulled from the actual throne of God. Yes,
• 6:25
  those were in the ark of the Covenant, beneath the mercy seat over
• 6:29
  which God hovered. And so the foundation of the love of the government of
• 6:34
  God, as we mentioned yesterday, is the love of God. The foundation
• 6:39
  of the of the government of God is the law of God. And then
• 6:43
  his throne represented by the mercy seat, or he sat on that or represented
• 6:48
  that way, then the unsighed under that would have been the throne of God.
• 6:55
  So on the law of God. So, how in the world can
• 6:58
  you change the law of God If you can't move God, if it's foundational
• 7:01
  to his government, if it's a transcript of God's character, how in the
• 7:06
  world can you change Can someone change the law of God without moving God?
• 7:14
  Well, we know that that's not possible. You're not moving God anywhere.
• 7:17
  And so we see this question. Really, what does the placement of God's
• 7:24
  law in the most holy place reveal about this significance and permanence of his law.
• 7:30
  In the Book of Revelation Chap eleven and verse nineteen, the Bible reads,
• 7:35
  and the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen
• 7:40
  in his temple the arc of his testament, and there were lightnings and voices,
• 7:46
  and thunderings, and earthquake and great hail. Now, if you want
• 7:50
  to move God and remove all of this, then you'll have a chance of
• 7:56
  messing around with the law of God. No, we don't do that.
• 8:00
  We don't do that. And then in the Book of Exodus, chapter twenty
• 8:03
  five and verse sixteen, the Bible reads, and thou shalt put into the
• 8:07
  ark of the testimony, you shall put into the testimony which I shall give
• 8:13
  unto thee And of course that was the testimony the Ten Commandments law. In
• 8:20
  Exodus chapter thirty one and verse eighteen, the Bible reads, and he gave
• 8:24
  unto Moses when he had made an end of communing with him upon the Mount
• 8:31
  Sinai two tables of testimony, tables of stone written with the finger of God.
• 8:37
  And so God wrote, he etched, he emblazoned upon those sapphire stone
• 8:43
  tablets which Moses was commanded to take from what we see in the Bible his
• 8:50
  throne. I wish I had the time to teach this thing. But we
• 8:54
  see now that now these tables of testimony, the tables of Stone written the
• 9:00
  finger of God, are now placed under the mercy seat in the ark of
• 9:05
  the Covenant, which is representative of what God's own throne. Move God,
• 9:13
  then maybe you have a chance at messing around with His law. And we
• 9:16
  know that that ain't about to happen. I know I said it ain't about
• 9:20
  to but you know what I'm saying. And so in Exodus chapter thirty one
• 9:26
  we already read that. In Revelation chapter twelve and verse seventeen we read again
• 9:33
  the dragon became enraged with the woman and went to make war on the rest
• 9:37
  of her children. Why because they keep the commandments of God and have the
• 9:41
  testimony. We look like God, So the devil's angry. Thanks for joining
• 9:45
  us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
