05 19 2024 The Heavenly 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
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:35
  It is Sunday, May nineteen, twoenty twenty four. Hello, my
• 0:40
  name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:43
  Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today is
• 0:48
  no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series, the Great Controversy.
• 0:54
  Our caption for today, the Heavenly Sanctuary. Let me get this stuff
• 0:59
  off the screen that is in my way. It's in my way, disturbing
• 1:03
  my peace. The Heavenly Sanctuary. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:07
  but first I'd like to say welcome to a new week, and help
• 1:10
  help me to just share this with as many people as possible, because there
• 1:15
  are a lot of people, even God's people, who don't even begin to
• 1:19
  understand the truths that I'm going to be sharing this week with many, many,
• 1:23
  many other teachers around the world. Okay, so please just share this
• 1:27
  with as many people as possible. Also, please go over to your Daily
• 1:32
  Portion dot com, join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion
• 1:36
  book, and look about your Daily Portion coaching program. It's next level,
• 1:42
  it's more than what we're able to do here, and the focus is a
• 1:46
  little bit different, like it's for our transformation, not just inspiration, not
• 1:52
  just information. Okay, So go to your Daily Portion dot com and this
• 1:56
  is one of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 2:00
  go ahead and pray and then get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you
• 2:05
  for giving us this new day and this work week. Father, Please give
• 2:08
  us your power, your spirit, your drive and determination to do the work
• 2:13
  You've called us to do, and please give us wisdom and understanding. As
• 2:16
  we look into the brilliant light of the sanctuary. In Jesus' name, I
• 2:22
  pray Amen and Amen again. Okay, so again our caption the Heavenly Sanctuary.
• 2:30
  So I want to focus your attention upward. Okay, and so the
• 2:34
  key for me for today is God's will be done. You may have heard
• 2:38
  this before. God's will be done in Earth or on Earth as it is
• 2:44
  in Heaven. Now I'm going to add something, not the other way around.
• 2:50
  May I say that again? Let me fix the microphone here. Yes,
• 2:53
  God's will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, not the
• 3:02
  other way around. Now. There's so much I could say here, but
• 3:06
  let me just say this. For people who study the heavenly sanctuary, sometimes
• 3:10
  your understanding is skewed because you are trying to make the heavenly sanctuary look like
• 3:20
  the earthly man. I say that again, some of your understanding is skewed
• 3:25
  because you're trying to make the heavenly Sanctuary look like the earthly sanctuary instead of
• 3:32
  what God said, like he wanted us to understand that whatever He revealed on
• 3:39
  planet Earth, have them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.
• 3:44
  That was a Kindergarten view. That was an old Covenant view that would
• 3:49
  help usher us into a right understanding of the relationship that God intended for us
• 3:55
  to have, the new covenant type relationship that God wants us to have,
• 4:01
  and you're like, well, why are you making such a big deal because
• 4:03
  some of you are making arguments that don't make any sense. You're trying to
• 4:09
  make heaven exactly like the earthly. Let me give you a good reason why,
• 4:13
  a few reasons why that doesn't make any sense. When we are discussing
• 4:17
  the sacrifice, are we talking about real life animals in twenty twenty four?
• 4:23
  Are we talking about the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the
• 4:25
  world. Uh, let's get that clear. Are we talking about the altar
• 4:30
  of burnt sacrifice in the outer court? Are we talking about the sacrifice,
• 4:34
  the ultimate sacrifice of what Jesus gave hah. When we go to the labor,
• 4:40
  are we talking about a labor with water preparing a human priest for ministry?
• 4:45
  Or are we talking about the water of life that flows freely to wash
• 4:51
  us from our sins Jesus Christ. When we get into the Holy Place,
• 4:57
  are we talking about loaves of bread showbread that is for the particular priests that
• 5:03
  are to be exchanged on a weekly basis. Are we talking about Jesus Christ
• 5:09
  the bread of life? Do I need to continue? We're talking about the
• 5:12
  candleabra in twenty twenty four. Not to be disrespectful, I'm not saying that,
• 5:16
  but in twenty twenty four, is it the seven spirits of God?
• 5:19
  Or is it a candle obra like a golden candlestick with seven branches? Is
• 5:25
  it oil or is it the Holy Ghost? Is it light that is lit
• 5:30
  with fire? Or is it Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
• 5:32
  Is it in the most holy place? Are they golden cherubim that are molten
• 5:39
  and crafted and placed or are we talking about true living covering cherubs? Is
• 5:46
  it the arc of the Covenant or is it the throne of God? Do
• 5:49
  you see where we're going with this? And so it's all about understanding our
• 5:55
  relationship with God. In fact, Jesus said it that if you destroy this
• 6:02
  temple, I will build it up in three days. And these people thought
• 6:06
  he was talking about a building. They were like, forty six years we've
• 6:11
  been building this temple, this tabernacle. He's going to destroy it and rebuild
• 6:15
  it in three days. And he's in the Bible says and they didn't know
• 6:17
  that he was talking about his body. And in fact, in the Old
• 6:21
  Testament, the Bible writer said that God is a little sanctuary to us.
• 6:26
  So ultimately the sanctuary is a manifestation of who God is. Even though there
• 6:32
  indeed is a place we call the heavenly Sanctuary. But even still, when
• 6:39
  all time is over and we get to see the manifestation of God, finally
• 6:45
  when Jesus comes back, we'll see that there is no need. There's no
• 6:47
  temple there because God himself is the temple thereof. And so I'm not throwing
• 6:53
  away the heavenly Sanctuary for sure, but I am saying that if you're going
• 6:57
  to understand the heavenly say sanctuary, the earthly is a shadow, a type,
• 7:04
  not a replica. Stop saying that it's not a replica, because I'd
• 7:10
  have to go through all that long list again. If it's a replica,
• 7:13
  then you'll see exactly what I you know, like lambs and golden candlesticks,
• 7:18
  instead of the manifestation of what God is really trying to get across. So
• 7:23
  the heavenly Sanctuary equals the higher reality, and the earthly Sanctuary was a type.
• 7:30
  It was a way for us to understand our relationship with God and what
• 7:34
  it takes to get rid of this sin problem that we have, and from
• 7:39
  the book The Great Controversy, page four hundred and seventeen, it reads,
• 7:43
  at the termination of the twenty three hundred days in eighteen forty four, there
• 7:48
  had been no sanctuary on earth for many centuries. Thus the prophecy unto two
• 7:56
  thousand and three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed unquestionably points to
• 8:03
  the sanctuary in heaven. This is where the Millerites missed the point. But
• 8:09
  we talked about that yesterday. So the earthly sanctuary had been gone, and
• 8:16
  it was a symbol, but in fact what was to be cleansed was the
• 8:22
  sin record for anyone who yields our will to God fully and remains covered by
• 8:28
  the righteousness of Christ. And then the sin record, at the appropriate time
• 8:35
  will be expunged from the heavenly record books. I wish I had the time,
• 8:41
  but I wanted you to get that. I'm passionate because again, there
• 8:45
  was a reason why people missed the point, even in twenty twenty four,
• 8:48
  because we're trying to use the earthly as a direct, exact replica rather than
• 8:54
  a teaching tool that leads us into a higher experience with God. Understanding that
• 9:01
  the heavenly sanctuary is the genuine article the earthly was leading us to an understanding
• 9:07
  in Hebrews, chapter seven and verse twenty five. The Bible reads, therefore,
• 9:11
  he is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God
• 9:16
  through him, since he always lives. He's not like one of those earthly
• 9:22
  high priests that die and they change him and get another one. Right,
• 9:26
  but he ever lives to make intercession for you, brothers and sisters, and
• 9:31
  for me. I'm so thankful that God did not limit us to what happened
• 9:35
  on planet Earth, but he's elevating us to a higher understanding and experience through
• 9:41
  the heavenly sanctuary. Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always
• 9:46
  remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from
• 9:50
  the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el David Harris.
• 9:56
  Make it a great day. Yeah,
