05 19 2025 On Mount Zion · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 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 Monday. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: May nineteen, 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
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: day and today is no exception. We are continuing in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is on Mount Zion on Mount Zion.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to just say
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: welcome to you and ask you to go over to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: pick up the Your Daily Portion Life application guide. Also,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: let us know where you are in the world at
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we do thank you this morning for giving us the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: opportunity to pray and to open up your word and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to see ourselves in your presence. Help us to live
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: now in the mindset of your presence until Jesus comes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again on
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Mount Zion. So our goal today is to discover who
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: will dwell with God in Mount Zion. I want you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to see Mount Zion as the presence of God. No
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: matter what we say historically, no matter what we say
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: geographically or even archaeologically like what can be found on
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the ancient Mount Zion. The real goal is to know
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: who will dwell with God in his presence. And then
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the big one that Christian people often miss is how
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we're very good with what we're good with describing things,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: identifying problems, giving like really cool generic responses that seem intricate.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But the truth is we need to know how how
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: will we dwell whoever that we are in Mount Zion
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: with God or in His presence throughout the ceaseless ages
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of eternity and the lesson writer. In the bottom of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the first part of the lesson, it says, we can
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: come to no conclusion other than it is the Lamb
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: who enables us to stand on Mount Zion. So we
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have a generic answer. That's the reality. The Lamb is
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: not mentioned in david Psalm, but he suddenly appears in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the description found in Revelation chapter fourteen. It is almost
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: as if Revelation fourteen is answering David's question. What question,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the same one that I just posed to you. I'm
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: David two, by the way, right, Yeah, who will stand
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in Mount Zion? Okay? So what we're going to do
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is go to the question in Psalm's chapter fifteen. The
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Book of Psalms chapter fifteen and verse one, and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: shall dwell in thy Holy hill? And in Psalm chapter
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: twenty four and verse three, it says who shall ascend
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in his Holy place? So these are the same questions
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter fourteen actually answers from a lamb Day's perspective,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And so let's go with number one in chapter fifteen
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and twenty four in the Book of Psalms. The Bible
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: actually teaches us those who dwell with God fifteen verses
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: two through five, those who walk uprightly? Do you walk
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: up rightly? That means that you don't bow to the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: pressure of the enemy when he tempts you to do
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things, to think in ways that are
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: opposite of what God has taught those who walk righteously.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: That's about holiness, and the standard of holiness is the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Ten Commandments law by God's grace? Do you do what
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: God says? By God's grace? Do you avoid the things
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that God wants you to steer clear of? Think about it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Eve was given the opportunity to what either eat from
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: God forbade, or listen to God because he said, in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die. Well,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Eve choll to eat and began the death problem. Yep,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and guess what some people are out there thinking. But
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Dave you left out Adam. No, Adam is the reason
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: why we're in this mess. Because he jumped into sin.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Eve fell into sin, Adam jumped into sin. Both of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: them ate what God said, don't eat, because they separated
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: themselves from God and believe the enemy instead of God.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Now Eve was deceived, Adam was not. But does it
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: really matter? Does it really matter? Fall into sin? Jump
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: into sin? Both of them sinned and fell short of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. And so now we know that
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we have to walk in righteousness. We have to speak
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the truth in our hearts. That's our privilege. We don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: slander or harm or exploit others. You want to be
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in the presence of God forever honors the faithful and
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: keeps our promises. In Chapter twenty four, verses four and five,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: God describes who stands in the holy place clean hands
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and a pure heart, has not lifted up their soul
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: unto vanity, talking about the lifestyle that we live on
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: a daily basis, does not swear deceitfully, receives blessing and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: righteousness from God in salvation. On and on and on
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: we go. And in Revelation fourteen, the same question is answered,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: These are they which are not defiled Verses four and five.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: They follow the lamb in their mouth, is no guile.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They are without fault before God, blameless, lives, truthful, speech,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: pure heart and clean walk, loyalty and obedience, and now
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, Dave, listen, I believe the Bible. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: agree with what God said. But how but how like
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that sounds really wonderful when you play the organ after it?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It sounds wonderful if you make up a rhythmic way
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of describing how or who excuse me, the people are,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and everybody gets excited until now a temptation comes. Yes,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: when I'm at work and somebody says something sideways out
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of their mouth to me, huh, When I'm at church
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and there is a committee and we are not on
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the same page, and she always gets what she desires,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: but I never get what I desire. It looks like
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: there's some favoritism going on here, yep, in those moments
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: when our children seem to have lost their minds, our
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: spouses seem to have lost their minds and their love
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: for us. It seems like when I call my friends,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: they never answer, and I'm always the one who is
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: going after them, and they don't really care about me. Yeah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: when those things come up, like the question really is
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: how we know what the what and we know what
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the who are? But how but how. The Bible says
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in chapter five of Psalms chapter twenty four, he shall
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: receive the blessing of the Lord and righteousness from the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: God of his salvation. So God is giving us all
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: all that we need as a gift, a gift to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: be able to live in His presence. But let me
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: show the how, the how. Number One, surrender. That's a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: big word. Submit, submit, submission. There are entire there's an
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: entire system of belief from Ishmael's descendants that is based
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: on submission, and that's something we can also learn. We
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: need to submit in this case to Christ daily, the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Bible says in fourteen verse four. In fourteen and verse four,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: follow the lamb wherever he goes. So here is the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: step that we need to take. Pray every morning. Lord,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: take my will and make it yours today. Let go
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of control, trust him to lead you in your decisions
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and desires. Number two, Let his character transform you. The
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Bible says in verse four of Psalm chapter twenty four
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that we have clean hands in a pure heart. Ask
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: does this thought, word, or action reflect God's name that's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: written in the forehead of people who are His children?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Let his character transform me and finally, practice truth and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: integrity in every area. Verse five, verse fourteen. In their
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: mouth has found no guile, So speak truthfully, keep their word,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and treat people fairly. And get this even in private
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: behind their backs, treat people fairly. So God has given
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: us the privilege of being in His holy hill that
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we need to surrender our will.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Jace 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,
