• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19

  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we thank you for this day. Teach us to stand
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: fast in You, not waiver, not shake, not backslide, but
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: stand fast in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: again we're standing fast in the Lord. Now let's go
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: into the Bible Book of Philippians Philippians chapter three, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I will read Versus twenty and twenty one. Philippians, Chapter three,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Versus twenty and twenty one. And I think I said
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to you the other day when we talk about citizenship
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: in heaven, what it is is that we are contrasting.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: We're contrasting the current earth that is full of sin
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and heavenly places, meaning wherever the presence of God is,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: wherever God is. It doesn't mean a geographical location where
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: we are in heaven, where the throne of God is
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: currently because again, let me just say for a refresher
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that when Jesus does come, he's coming soon. We don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: know when he's coming. But when Jesus does come soon,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: he's going to take all of his people to stay
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in heaven for one thousand years. And according to Revelation
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: chapter twenty and twenty one and Matthew chapter five, after
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the thousand years are finished and then God cleanses the earth, yes,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we will receive as a gift, like Jesus said, a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: fulfillment of the promise. The meek will inherit the new earth. Okay.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And so we're talking about heavenly places in the sense
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of being in the presence of God. And so we're
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: citizens of the presence of God, and so the Bible
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: reads in verse twenty of Philippians chapter three. But our
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: citizenship is in heaven, and we also eagerly await a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you looking
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: forward to the day? Are you eagerly? What did he say?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Eagerly awaiting him? He said in another place that to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: those who look for him, he will appear a second
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: time without sin unto salvation. We're going to the place
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: wherein dwelleth righteousness. I'm looking forward to that day Verse
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: twenty one. Who will transform these humble bodies. In the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: King James version, it says vile bodies. What does vile mean?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Vile means humiliation, made of a low estate, spiritually abased.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So these bodies that degrade and break down, these bodies
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: like me, even though I am strong, I'm in my fifties,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and when I get up, I have to determine if
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I really meet it, because sometimes little aches and pains
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: from my exercise regimen do tell me. Like brother, you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: are not in your twenties anymore. These vile bodies, these
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: humble bodies of ours, into the likeness of His glorious
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: body by means of that power which He is able
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to subject all things to himself. And so we are
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: looking forward to the day when we will be transformed fully,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not just by the renewing of our minds. This is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to be happening right now, brothers and sisters, while we
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: are on this broadcast. God is renewing your mind if
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you are submitting to him mind too, right. But what
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: we're talking about is one day being able to see
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: him face to face. And the only way that will
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: happen is if, as we are being renewed by God,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that when Jesus comes back in a moment, in a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: twinkling of an eye, at the last trump of God,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: he will give us new bodies. This mortal will put
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: on immortality, not before this broken down body will put
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: on the glorious body that Jesus now possesses. Okay, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: so I'm looking forward to that day. In the meantime,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: stand fast lesson Number one is Heaven is the believer's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: true homeland. And of course I'm still speaking of heavenly places.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: The presence of God and our identity is anchored in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Christ and not in earthly systems or desires. Those things
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that people are fighting for on social media, the attention
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that people want to garner in order to get their
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: come up in air quotes. Look that up. It's a colloquialism.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Look it up in an urban dictionary to try to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: get their come up. Yeah, all of that stuff is
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: going to burn up. I'm just saying everything that we
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: aspire to on planet Earth is going to be destroyed.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It is going to stop, it will end, it will
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: burn up. But we're looking forward to the day that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: we are in God's presence, and therefore therefore we need
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to list three areas of our lives where earthly priorities compete.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Talking about teach art style, earthly heavenly right, these three
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: areas where potentially earthly priorities compete with heavenly identity, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: then intentionally realign one of them today. If you can
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: get to all three, do it today, yep. Is that
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: there is time. Your time. You're not if you have
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a family, you're not having worship with your family morning
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and evening, you're not going to God in prayer and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: whatever else you would do in a worshipful experience. Well
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: align that. Now make it today, like today is the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: day that you go with your family to God in prayer,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: et cetera. And then move into the things that the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: world would say, like you got to work, you have
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: to go to school, you have to do whatever it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: is that you do in order to make it a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: decent life on planet Earth. Lesson number two, the glorified
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: state is literal. It's it is not symbolic. God will
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: transform our decaying bodies to match Christ's glorious resurrected body.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: In the Bible Book of Job, chapter nineteen, verses twenty
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: five through twenty seven, the Bible reads, for I know
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that my Redeemer liveth This is Job speaking. And though
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: flesh I shall see God. I shall see God. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: much to say, no time I wanted to go down
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: through one, two, three, four, five, these passages, these passages
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: that the lesson writer identified. Uh, and let me see
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: what I can do with those in the middle of
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the lesson where it says, how do the following passages
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: describe the glorified state? Let me just be very quick.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: The one in Job that we just read, we see
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that that resurrection is bodily identity is preserved because in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: my flesh and with my eyes I'll experience God, of course, glorified.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: The believer will see God physically, per personally and consciously. Yes.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And the one in Luke we experience God. We see
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that Jesus's glorified body was real, physical, touchable, recognizable, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: yet transformed. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have to come
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: back to this, but I'm looking forward to the day
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that we see him. And until then we need to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: stand fast in the Lord Gays listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
