• 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 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday. It's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: May eight, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: caption for today is for You created all things, You created,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: All things are starting to clap already. Let me just
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: pause for a moment and say before we get into that,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'd like to welcome everyone joining us, especially those joining
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: us for the very first time. I'm asking you to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: our online community there is a red button on that site,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: not on YouTube, not on Facebook, not on the radio,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not on your podcast. On that site, click the red
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: button as well at your Daily Portion dot com, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: please remember to get the Life Application Guide because this
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: is the way that we learn how to apply these truths,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: even Bible prophecy truths, in four key areas of our lives.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So it's not just philosophical, it's not just a spiritual discussion,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but it's a way to apply in our lives. At
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We thank you, Please, please, please please give us worshipful
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: hearts in Jesus' name. I pray Amen and Amen again.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to rush this morning because in my
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: notes I wrote only God, only God. Remember the caption
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is for You created all things exclamation point, and I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: typed in I wrote, I hand wrote in my notes
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: only God. Like I'm in a rush to worship God
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: like it's Thursday. Sometimes people mix up what the Sabbath
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: truth is and make it seem as if we need
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to wait until a particular time or day in order
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to worship God. So in this moment in time that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: God has orchestrated, He has called us to be together.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: In this moment in time, it is time to worship him.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It's time to worship him. When you read in the Bible,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: in the Book of Isaiah, from just around chapter forty
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: right through for ten chapters almost we see where God is. Like, listen,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I am worthy of worship and you need to know it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So I want to pull up right here and give
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: everybody an opportunity to switch your mind from just intellectual
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: learning right into the chamber of God's throne, room where
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: worship is key. You can worship Him right now this Thursday.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: You can worship him in this early morning hour if
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you're in my hemisphere, and for those who are later
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: on in the day, you can worship him. You're in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: your car, you're at work, you're at your desk, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: are in the field, listening in your earbuds. You can
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: worship God right now because he is the one who
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: created all things, and this is one of the things
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that makes him worthy of worship. Nobody else has created
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: all things. There is one creator, and that is God.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And so on a handful of occasions, the lesson writer
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: says that the prophets were per admitted to experience the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: throne room of God. Ezekiel saw it above the firmament.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Isaiah visited the temple in heaven, and of course in
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the New Testament we have people like even Paul, I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: don't know, he didn't even know sometimes what the reality
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: of his experiences were. But I want to now go
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: into this question, this question from the lesson. What elements
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of the two different experiences we'll read about those just
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: here momentarily are similar. Pay attention to the order of events.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: What subject is presented first, what comes next? This is
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: really really tactical here, and what truth God is being
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: what truth about God is being stressed in these visions.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: So let's see what we can get. We're going to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the Bible book of Isaiah and make quick work of this.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Chapter six and verse one, the Bible reads, in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the year that King Aziah died, I saw also the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Lord sitting upon his throne high and lifted up, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: his train filled the temple. This is Isaiah's experience. In
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter four, verses two and three, the Bible reads,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and immediately I was in the spirit and beheld a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And he that sat on the throne was to look
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: upon like jasper and a sardine stone. May I just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: say that God on his throne. Ah, that is what
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: engenders our worship. God is seated upon the universe's throne,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: not any priest, prelate, or king, not any queen or
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: other kind of monarchical ruler, not a president, not a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: prime minister. And if I've missed some other kind of leader,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: none of those. No pope, no cardinal, no bishop, no pastor,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: no elder. God himself is firmly seated upon the throne.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And you know what that means. That we're safe. His
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: sovereignty means safety for us. He sees, he knows all,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and he rules. He rules in an absolute way. But
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: at the same time, he gives us the option to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: worship him or not. I wish I had the time.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But whenever we worship God, it is for his glory
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and our benefit. I need to say that again, it
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: is for our benefit and His glory. Now. In Isaiah
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: six and verse two, the Bible reads above it stood seraphims.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Each one had six wings, and with Twain he covered
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: his face, and with Twain he covered his feet, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: with Twain he did fly. In Revelation chapter four, verses
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: six through eight, the Bible reads, and before the throne
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in the midst of the throne, and round about the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: throne were four beasts full of eyes before and behind,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and four beasts had each of them six wings about him.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Of course I left out some details, but that is
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the passage. And so the Bible teaches us that while
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: God is sovereign and holy, blessed be his name, while
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool, he
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: has heavenly beings who worship him. He has heavenly beings
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: who worship him. These beings are infinitely more powerful than
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: we are as human beings, and yet they worship him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So what's wrong with some of us humans? Why is
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it that we think we're so powerful that we don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: need God. Why is it that those who are being
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: redeemed from sin, being redeemed from a dicktions to drugs
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and alcohol, being redeemed from sexually illicit sins, People who
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: are being redeemed from weird mindsets that cause people to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: do things that just kind of boggle our minds who
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: have a little bit of sense about us. The God
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: who is our creator, who's throne is heaven, He is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: over the entire universe. Blessed be his name, is giving
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: us the opportunity to be in his presence, having been
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. And heavenly beings
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: worship him. And yet some of us hold back our worship.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: What have God withheld his breath from us? What if
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: God withheld the sun shining on the just and on
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the unjust? What if God withheld all food, water, clothing,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and shelter when we don't worship him, the heavenly beings worship,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Why not worship? Now? Let me just say a little
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: word here about god holiness. The Bible reads here in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter six and verse three, and one of these
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: heavenly beings cried unto another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: is the Lord of hosts. The entire world, the entire
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: earth is full of His glory. And in Revelation chapter
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: four and verse eight, it reads, and they rest not
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: day or night, and say, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God Almighty,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: which was, which is and is to come. And then
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of course we see that there is a response to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: God's holiness. But the question for me is what should
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: this impact have on me, this throne room experience. Does
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it make me worship God? Or do I choose nothing?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
