05 22 2024 The Good News of the Most Holy Place · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, Good
• 0:34
  morning. It is Wednesday, May twenty two, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:39
  my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this
• 0:41
  is your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and
• 0:45
  today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series the Great
• 0:51
  Controversy. Our caption for today is the Good News of the Most Holy Place.
• 0:56
  I can't wait to get into that, but just a moment first.
• 1:00
  I first want to welcome everyone joining us, and especially those joining for the
• 1:03
  very first time. Please please go over to your Daily Portion dot com,
• 1:07
  pick up the Your Daily Portion book, join our online community, and you
• 1:11
  can even join our coaching program for your daily portion right there, and let
• 1:18
  us know where you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:22
  We are here to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,
• 1:26
  and then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:30
  us this day and for giving us to the middle of this work week.
• 1:34
  Please please give us courage, give us courage and ministry and the mindset of
• 1:38
  what Jesus is doing on our behalf. Please Father, give us the fullness
• 1:42
  of your holy spirit today. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and
• 1:48
  Amen again the good news of the most Holy Place. So I want to
• 1:53
  share the key one more time for today. The key is the news is
• 1:59
  great when we cooperate with God. May I say it again, The news
• 2:05
  is great when we cooperate with God. See. God operates first, and
• 2:12
  then we join him. God operates first, and then we join him.
• 2:20
  We are co operating. He operates, and then we join him hand in
• 2:24
  hand, in lockstep, arm in arm. We are cooperating with him.
• 2:30
  That is, if we are yielding our will to God. Okay, and
• 2:35
  so yesterday I did not read an invaluable quote from the book The Great Controversy,
• 2:40
  page four hundred and twenty eight, and I need to read it to
• 2:44
  you right now, and it reads, when the work of investigation shall be
• 2:49
  ended. We're talking about the phase of judgment that we have already entered,
• 2:53
  and that will conclude near the time of Jesus's return, right when the cases
• 3:00
  of those who in all ages have professed to be believers of Christ have been
• 3:07
  examined and decided. Then, and not until then, probation will close.
• 3:14
  And so those who are alive during the time of the end, and at
• 3:17
  the end of time, those who are alive when Jesus returns, those individuals
• 3:23
  will have lived up until the time when probation has closed. Yes, and
• 3:30
  those who are sleeping, of course, probation will have closed for them already,
• 3:35
  those who are resting in the grave. So we are thankful that God
• 3:39
  has given us a time of probation, a time of mercy. Let me
• 3:43
  continue reading, and it says, it says, and the door of mercy
• 3:47
  shall be shut. Thus, in one short sentence, they that were ready
• 3:53
  went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. We
• 3:58
  are carried down through the Savior's final ministration to the time when the great work
• 4:04
  for human salvation shall be completed. And that's the end of the quote.
• 4:10
  And so I'm thankful that we've already said that those who are, who are,
• 4:15
  who are, are yielded to Christ, those who are submitted to His
• 4:18
  will, those individuals cannot lose. Why not because Jesus is our judge,
• 4:24
  Yes, John chapter five and verse twenty two. Jesus is our advocate first
• 4:29
  John, chapter two and verse one. Jesus is the one who took our
• 4:32
  place on the cross. He's our substitute first John, chapter two and verse
• 4:38
  two. And then of course we know that Jesus is the true and he
• 4:43
  is the faithful witness, and that comes in from Revelation chapter three and verse
• 4:49
  fourteen. So in that case, when we are yielded to God, we
• 4:54
  are in relationship with Christ, then we can't lose. And so there's good
• 4:59
  news. I call it great news from the most holy place, that is
• 5:02
  where God, our father dwells, that is the holiest of all, his
• 5:09
  actual presence, the throne room. And so in Hebrews chapter four, beginning
• 5:14
  at verse fourteen, the Bible read, seeing then that we have a great
• 5:17
  high priest, that's Jesus Christ that has passed into the heavens Jesus, the
• 5:23
  Son of God. Let us hold fast our profession. Let me just say,
• 5:28
  right here on a pause, don't give up now. Don't become weary
• 5:31
  and well doing. Don't be tired of being kind to people who are not
• 5:36
  kind to you. Don't be tired of being in a situation where people are
• 5:43
  reviling you and saying all manner of evil against you falsely. For Jesus's sake,
• 5:48
  he said, rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward
• 5:53
  in heaven, for so persecuted day the prophets which were before you. Don't
• 5:57
  be tired of giving all of your best to the Master. Don't be tired
• 6:01
  of giving him your best in your relationship with your spouse, Ah, don't
• 6:05
  be tired of giving him your best in your business relationships and how you move
• 6:12
  in your nine to five job. And be honest, don't be tired.
• 6:16
  Don't be tired. Don't be weary, because because he wants us to hold
• 6:23
  fast, don't give up Verse fifteen. For we have not a high priest
• 6:29
  which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities. So that means that
• 6:33
  Jesus understands us. He knows what we're going through on planet Earth, but
• 6:38
  was in all points tempted like as we are, and yet without sin.
• 6:43
  So even though he understands what it's like to be hungry, he knows what
• 6:46
  it's like to be tested and tried when people who don't love God are against
• 6:51
  him. He knows what it's like to be betrayed by friends and people who
• 6:56
  profess to be friends. He knows what it's like to feel for Said and
• 7:00
  of God and feel like he is alone. And yet the Bible says he
• 7:03
  is without sin. Let us verse sixteen. Therefore, come boldly, come
• 7:09
  what come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
• 7:15
  find grace to help in the time of need. We are in a position
• 7:19
  now, brothers and sisters, when we are able to be perfected in love.
• 7:24
  Are you choosing love instead of fear and hatred? Are you choosing love
• 7:28
  instead of anything that can separate between you and God? Are you choosing this
• 7:33
  or are you choosing hatred choosing fear? The Bible teaches us that we can
• 7:41
  choose love so that we may obtain mercy. We'll find the power that we
• 7:46
  need to live a godly life in Christ Jesus in this present world, even
• 7:53
  when things seem to be falling apart. And I'm grateful. I'm grateful.
• 7:57
  He Brews chapter ten, beginning at verse nineteen reads, having therefore, brethren
• 8:01
  boldness. There's that word again. Not in our own strength, not in
• 8:07
  our own righteousness, not because we feel like we are proficient or somehow able
• 8:13
  to do things on our own. But it says here we can be bold
• 8:16
  to enter into the holiest Why because of the blood of Jesus Christ, meaning
• 8:22
  that Jesus gave his life so that we can live eternally. He gave his
• 8:26
  life so we could be covered in His righteousness and be seen in judgment as
• 8:31
  if we had never sinned. We can come boldly through that prism verse twenty
• 8:37
  by a new and living way which He hath consecrated for us through the veil,
• 8:43
  that is to say, his flesh, and having a high priest over
• 8:48
  the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart full of
• 8:52
  assurance of faith. You can have faith today, brothers and sisters. Faith
• 8:58
  is the victory that over comes the world. Because your faith can lay hold
• 9:03
  of the power of God. And when you lay hold of the power of
• 9:07
  God, you cannot lose. Let us have the full assurance of faith,
• 9:13
  having our hearts sprinkled with all from all evil conscience, and our bodies washed
• 9:18
  with pure watcher. There is nothing in your past. There is nothing in
• 9:22
  your past that you cannot yield to God. There is no sin to heinous,
• 9:28
  no crime that you cannot overcome if you just yield your will to God.
• 9:31
  And I'm thankful that there is great news. What kind of great news,
• 9:35
  the kind of great news that comes from the presence of God, that
• 9:37
  Jesus will present you faultless before the Father with exceeding joy. Make it a
• 9:43
  great day. Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember
• 9:48
  we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the
• 9:50
  mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el David Harris.
• 9:56
  Make it a great day. Yeah,
