• 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

  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

  Speaker 2: caption for today is like burning calls of fire, like

  Speaker 2: burning coals of fire. We'll get into that in just
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a moment, but first i'd like to say welcome to

  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen, and a man again like burning coals
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of fire. We're going into our life application guide this
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: morning from page one hundred and twenty five, the Personal
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Application in just a moment, But first I need to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I need to go and look at what the lesson
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: writer was saying here popping up my notes here about
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the comparisons between the different scenes in these passages. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: let's see what God is revealing about himself in these
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: particular passages, and we'll just take little bites here and there,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: because there's so much. There's so much. Let's first talk
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: about the majesty of God. In Ezekiel, chapter one and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: verse four, we see the fire brilliant light and glowing metal.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: In Isaiah, we see in chapter six and verse one,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the Lord high and lift it up. In the Revelation
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: chapter four, verses two and three, we see the Almighty
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on his throne with rainbows of color. Now, let me
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: ask you a question. Is God majestic in your life?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: When people see you? Do they get a feeling a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: sense of what I just described from the scriptures? Do
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: they sense the brilliance of God when they see you?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: When people listen to you, speak to them and give
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: them advice, or pray over them or for them, do
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they get the idea that God is high and lifted up,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that He is a covenant keeper. When people experience you,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: do they get the sense of the majesty of God
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: through you? I need to be answering that question for myself.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Let's see Psalms chapter one hundred and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: forty five and verse three. Great is the Lord, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: greatly to be praised. What I want you to do
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: is invest some time today to worship God for his majesty,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and then pray, Lord, open my eyes to see your
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: glory in creation and in your word. And then let
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: me become a revelation of that to the people. This
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: is God's truth in our lives. I think sometimes we
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: become so spiritually minded in air quotes that we don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: know how to actually live what we are reading. Let's
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: go to Ezekiel again. There are four creatures with different faces.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You know where they are. Won't cite the passages again.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: In Isaiah there were six winged seraphim. In Revelation there
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: are four creatures declaring God's holiness. Here is the question again,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: When you see those angels and beings in the heavenly realm,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: are you inspired to become like what they represent? Like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: what they represent? You see the intelligence in the faces
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of those beings. You see the speed at which these
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: beings and the power at which these beings can move
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for the purposes of God? Are you swift and powerful
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to do what God would have you to do in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: your realm that is planet Earth? And then, of course,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in Revelation the four creatures declaring God's holiness? Does your
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: life bespeak holiness? Like when people see you, do they
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: see holiness? Or is it detachment? Or is it people
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: who are inconsistent? Something to think about. And then, of course,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: then of course we go to God's refining presence. In
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Ezekiel we see him, we see the lightning and the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: gleaming metal. In Isaiah we see cleansing coal from the altar.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: We see in Revelation blazing lamps of God's spirit. So
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this is something that we all can do. Sit into
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: God's presence, not into Sit in God's presence, bask in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the brightness of his glory when you are speaking to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: him and listening for his voice, and then He is
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: giving you the refiner's fire of his transformation. Are you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: receptive to that? Or do you feel burnt? Like God?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Why is this so difficult? Every trial that you have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you complain, is that how you are? Or whenever God
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: gives you the opportunity to be in a straight place,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: little bit of difficulty so that you can become more
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: like Him and even become a testimony to somebody else
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: so they can be saved. Because of course, if God
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: can do that refinement in your life, then he can
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: do it in my life. You see where this is going.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So sit in his presence, Remain in his presence, be
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in humble submission to his will, and worship Him through
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: your life. Humble yourselves. The Bible says in James chapter
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: four and verse ten, in the sight of the Lord,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and he will lift you up. Invest time in reverent prayer,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: acknowledging the greatness of God in your life and your
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: dependence on Him. I just need to sit there for
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: just a moment, because in Ezekiel there is an overwhelming
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: feeling by God's presence, and in Isaiah chapter six and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: verse five there is another overwhelming feeling. Isaiah said, woe
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: is me, for I am undone because he could recognize
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: he was nothing like what God wanted him to be,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: at least in his own eyes. In Revelation, the elders
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: are casting their crowns before the throne of God in
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: chapter four and verse ten. And so that humility that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I just spoke of is our privilege. If heavenly beings
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: can be humble, if the prophets of God can sense
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: their brokenness, then what of me? What of you? So
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: we can humble ourselves. It's our privilege to humble ourselves
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: before God and be transformed by His brightness. Now we
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: go to our life Application Guide PAY one twenty five.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the win approach again, Personal Application win
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: W What is important now? The closer we come to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: God the more aware of our own need for his cleansing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: We become His holiness shines light on our imperfections, not
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: so that we can become ashamed. So quiet the judgmental
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: part of your mind. But he wants to transform us,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: so he's preparing us to be transformed. Let's internalize that
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: insight instead of running from conviction. See it as a gift.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You see, King Herod ran from the conviction. He didn't
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: see it as a gift. And then, of course John
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the Baptist was destroyed because King Herod did not want
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to be convicted by God. Okay, when God reveals what
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: needs to be changed, it means he's inviting you closer.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I want you to type it in the chat. Closer.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: God is inviting you to be closer to him. But
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: what is the next best move? This is philosophical, still,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: but what do we do? I want you to set
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: aside or invest some time today, not tomorrow. You can
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: do it tomorrow if the Lord spears life. But today
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and ask God what areas in your life need to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: be brought before his throne. Don't let this just be
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: an exercise. Do it and then journal your thoughts and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: say God, these are the things that you're revealing to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: me that I need to surrender. Will you help me
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to do it? And then I can become a manifestation
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of your brightness in this wicked and perverse generation. 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,
