01 25 2024 Help From the Sanctuary · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep us
• 0:15
  through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of
• 0:20
  that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to live
• 0:25
  healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author
• 0:31
  speaker Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It
• 0:34
  is Thursday, January twenty five, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name
• 0:39
  is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your Daily
• 0:42
  Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today is no
• 0:46
  exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series through the Book of Psalms,
• 0:51
  and our caption for today is help from the Sanctuary. Help from the
• 0:57
  Sanctuary. We'll get into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
• 1:00
  to say welcome to you and ask you to go over to your Daily Portion
• 1:03
  dot com. Please join our online community, pick up your Daily Portion book,
• 1:07
  and also let us know where you are in the world. Again,
• 1:11
  this is a way that we continue to build faith and fellowship. And let
• 1:15
  me just say a great, big welcome to everybody who is with us on
• 1:21
  a regular basis. I'd have no reason to be here except that you are
• 1:25
  here and that you are sharing with people you believe need great news from God's
• 1:30
  words. So let's go ahead and pray, and then we'll get right into
• 1:33
  this. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new day and
• 1:36
  for the privilege that we have to open up your word. And I am
• 1:38
  asking you, Father to please give us the fullness of your holy spirit,
• 1:42
  teach us to serve you with all our hearts. And then I ask you
• 1:47
  to give us the fullness of understanding and commitment to your words. In Jesus'
• 1:53
  name, I pray Amen and Amen again. Okay, so help from the
• 2:00
  sanctuary. We're going to begin with Jesus. We should begin and end with
• 2:06
  Jesus everywhere in our lives, but that's a different study. Yes, we're
• 2:10
  going to begin with Jesus and read from the Book of Hebrews, the Book
• 2:15
  of Hebrews and give this some context or framework really for what we're going to
• 2:19
  discuss today. Hebrews chapter four, and we will begin at verse fifteen,
• 2:24
  this time from the New King James version, and the Bible reads, for
• 2:28
  we do not have a high priest, And don't get confused with the backwards
• 2:32
  ness of how the language go Sometimes New King James and the King James have
• 2:38
  like a weird way of saying things. For we do not have a high
• 2:40
  priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness. Let me say it this way,
• 2:46
  Our high Priest, our great high Priest, can simplify, simplify, sympathize
• 2:53
  with our weaknesses. But was in all points tempted like as we are,
• 2:59
  yet without sin. Can I just pause right here for a moment. When
• 3:02
  you read John saying that there are works of the flesh, like there are
• 3:08
  deeds that lead to death, he says, the lust of the flesh,
• 3:13
  the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and these are
• 3:16
  not things that God embraces. Right. So that's what John said. And
• 3:22
  when you look at the temptations of Jesus, that experience that he had in
• 3:25
  the wilderness after he was filled, Jesus with the Holy Ghost and the blessing
• 3:32
  of God his Father, and acknowledgment of his love for Jesus Christ had happened,
• 3:38
  and now he's led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit, and then
• 3:42
  the devil begins to tempt him. When you look at that account in the
• 3:45
  Book of Luke, it actually comes those three kinds or types of temptations come
• 3:53
  in the same order that John referenced. The lust of the flesh turned these
• 3:58
  stones into bread, lust of the eyes. I'll give you everything if you
• 4:02
  do this, and the pride of life just jump off of this and whatever
• 4:06
  prove that you are guess you know coming from God, because the angels will
• 4:12
  take charge over you. So you see that those came in those very in
• 4:16
  that same order. Very interesting. Do you think that's by chance that the
• 4:20
  Holy Ghost gave John that? Well, I would say no, it's not
• 4:25
  by chance. And so we see these categories of sin and Jesus overcame them,
• 4:31
  not just on that day, but from he was a young boy until
• 4:36
  he gave his life voluntarily on the cross so that you and I could be
• 4:40
  saved. And so going back to the text, now that we can understand,
• 4:44
  for we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.
• 4:48
  But wasn't all points tempted like as we are, and yet without sin.
• 4:56
  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may
• 5:00
  obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Let me just
• 5:06
  say that Jesus is our sanctuary. I wish I had the time to really
• 5:12
  drill into that. But the point here I'm making is that the same one
• 5:15
  who overcame the enemy by yielding his will to God, our Father, is
• 5:21
  a sanctuary. So that if we will yield our will to God our Father,
• 5:27
  if we, through the Holy Ghost, will yield and our will to
• 5:30
  God and have Jesus abide in us, then we know that we will have
• 5:35
  the same victory that Jesus had. Jesus had victory from his natural birth until
• 5:43
  he gave his life for us right his death. Yes, and we can
• 5:48
  have victory from our rebirth until either we pass away or Jesus returns. Did
• 5:58
  you get that? So the new birth experience is really an a is a
• 6:01
  microcosm. It is a manifestation of the life of Jesus Christ. I wish
• 6:08
  I had the time. If you didn't get that, please rewind it and
• 6:11
  pray and listen again. Once we're done here. Okay, So the Book
• 6:15
  of Psalms, now we're going to chapter three and verse four and see what
• 6:20
  we can glean. The Bible reads, I cried unto the Lord with my
• 6:25
  voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. So now we
• 6:30
  see this place being referenced. This the presence of God being referenced here.
• 6:39
  And when when God's people cry out unto the Lord, God from his vantage
• 6:45
  point, from his ultimate presence, is hearing us. And remember I said
• 6:51
  to the holy mindset the Hebrew people, being the first representatives in this case,
• 6:59
  to hear and to do our synonymous And so when God hears us out
• 7:02
  of his holy hill, he also and he inclines his ear to us,
• 7:08
  and he grants us his peace like he is our defender, like we read
• 7:13
  yesterday, he is our deliverer, and of course, in the context of
• 7:15
  our discussion today, he's also our protection, our refuge, our help in
• 7:21
  time of trouble. And now we move to the Book of Psalms, chapter
• 7:27
  fourteen. Psalms, Chapter fourteen, and I will read verse seven. I
• 7:31
  hope you're getting where we're going here, Oh, that the salvation of Israel
• 7:36
  will come out of Zion when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people.
• 7:43
  Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad. Of course, this is
• 7:47
  referencing a time, a specific time in the history of God's people. It
• 7:53
  is a mindset now that we can look at and say, you know,
• 7:58
  God's people have been capt in their minds have been bound. Oh, if
• 8:03
  we could just go back to Egypt, because you're taking us, Moses,
• 8:07
  You're taking us out here into the wilderness to die. Oh, can we
• 8:11
  please have quail? Oh? I don't know what this light bread is that
• 8:16
  manner that God is giving us. Oh. Oh, And they complain and
• 8:20
  they murmur, and they are annoying, and God is looking like He's about
• 8:26
  to destroy them. But of course he was merciful. He was merciful to
• 8:30
  them, and so bringing them out of that captive mindset, bringing them out
• 8:35
  of various other times when they were captive to the Assyrians and to the Babylonians
• 8:41
  and to the everybody else. Right, Egyptians, God is our salvation and
• 8:48
  that power that God manifests is coming out of his holy hill Zion. And
• 8:54
  then God's people, as we are delivered, we learn to rejoice, We
• 8:58
  learn to rejo let me go to the Book of Psalms, chapter twenty now
• 9:03
  and I'll read beginning at verse one, and the Bible reads, the Lord
• 9:07
  hear thee in the day of trouble. You have to call unto him the
• 9:11
  name of the God of Jacob, defend the yes, send thee help from
• 9:18
  the sanctuary, and strength the strengthen the out of Zion. Remember all thy
• 9:24
  offerings and accept thy burnt sacrifice Sillah. So God is our refuge, He
• 9:31
  is our help, He is our strong tower, our tabernacle, our sanctuary.
• 9:37
  And then one day, finally we will finally enter into His ultimate pavilion
• 9:43
  in heaven and then the earth made. Thanks for joining us listening to friends.
• 9:46
  Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:50
  comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with El
• 9:54
  David Harris, Make it a great day. Yeah,
