  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

• 2:00
  Speaker 2: In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Here
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I am send me. We looked at this just briefly yesterday,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but now we're going to drill it some more. Let
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: me read from what the lesson writer has said in
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the first paragraph. Years ago, a church decided to renovate
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: an outdated basement in order to create a new fellowship, Paul.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: One of the first things they did was to install
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: new lights, new lights, you see how bright I am
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: lights are important, believing that they would make the space
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: seem more beautiful once they were installed. However, the space
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: looked worse. Uh oh, because bright lights have a way
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of revealing our flaws. Can we just pause right here
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and say that perspective matters. Yes we need lights, Yes
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we need the cameras, but when the lights come on,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we have to be prepared for what we see. This
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is why some people run away from the light of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: God's words. Sometimes people run away from the light of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: understanding because really and truly their interest is to continue
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in the way that they have been living for years.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But the light says, We're going to expose the truth.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Whatever the truth is. Okay. So the question that I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: have for myself is what do I do when God
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: shows me my flaws? I need you to just pause
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: right there and listen and then answer the question honestly,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: what do I do when God shows me my flaws?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Do I put on makeup? Do I put a filter
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: over the lens of my camera or over my TikTok
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: or Facebook or YouTube or whatever else is out there?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Do I put a filter over it so I can
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: make myself look better?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Do I beautify myself with jewels? Do I beautify myself
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and make myself feel better? I said, perspective? Is everything
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: feel better? By putting on aprons of fig leaves. So, oh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that's what Adam and Eve did. They put on fig
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: leaf aprons when they wanted to feel better about themselves
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: when they were guilty as charged. Just like, what do
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I do when God shows me my flaws?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You see?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The good thing about God showing me are my flaws
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: is that he already knew. He already knew, and he
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: still loved me. He knew, and then he gave me
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the best gift in the world, which is cleansing from
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sin and all unrighteousness through the life and the death
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and the resurrection and the ministry, the present help ministry
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of Jesus right now, that cleansing work that's going on
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on right now. So when God shows me my flaws,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: he's not just showing me the problem. He's also presenting
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: himself as the solution. But I said, perspective is everything.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And so now we are going to take some action
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: based on what we will read from Isaiah chapter six.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We'll do it point by point, okay, And so in
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: chapter six, verse five, the Bible reads, then I said,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: or then said, I woe is me, for I am undone,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: because I am a man of unclean lips. I dwell
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: See.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: When Isaiah was taken into the presence of God, he
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: was taken into the presence of God in vision or
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: something sometimes I don't understand. But he was given the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: opportunity to witness worship in heaven. And when he could
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: see how holy God was is with his eyes, not
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: just know it, but see it with his eyes, to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: see those six winged creatures who were worshiping and crying Holy, Holy,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Holy is the Lord of Hosts. When he experienced that scene,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it was when the light came on for him in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a way that it did not come on before, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: he could see all that was wrong with him all
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: at at the same time, and it was overwhelming to him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And all he could do is cry, woe, woe is me.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But guess what. God did not leave him that way.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I said that a little bit earlier, didn't I. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: he sent an angel to cleanse him. He took a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: live call from all off of the altar and touched
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the lips and life of Isaiah and said, this has
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: touched thy lips your iniquity is now cleansed. And then
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: God makes the call, who will I send? How can
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: we send somebody from this experience to go and to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: do what I have called them to do? Now Isaiah
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: being cleansed, Now Isaiah being in the presence of God
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to the degree that he was transformed. Now Isaiah is
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: jumping up and down, not saying woe is me, not
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: calling out the negative realities of his life, but saying,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: now I'm ready to go God, because you are the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: cleansing God of the universe. And I thank you. And then,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of course Isaiah did. And so the action really for
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: me in that regard is to examine my life regularly
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in the light of God's word. And when I do,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and I take an honest account with the power of
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost leading my mindset, then I put myself
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on the mercy of God and say, God, will you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: please show me how to be like you? Will you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: cleanse me and then activate me to do your will? Yes?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And so we go, we go. Let me just fast
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: forward here to let's go with verse eight. I did
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: mention it, but let's do it again. And Isaiah chapter
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: six and verse eight. The Bible reads also I heard
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and who shall go for us? Then I said, here
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: am I send me? And so the action in that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: regard is to stay attentive to God's voice, remain at
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the ready, ready to be deployed when God says go.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Stay attentive to God's voice. That means to listen, being
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: open to us call, and ready to respond affirmatively every
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: time he asks. Ah, that's a good one. That's a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: good one. That's a good one. Let's go with one
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: more From the book two Timothy, chapter two, in verse fifteen,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we may get another one in there. The Bible reads
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: And so the action here is to dedicate time. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: would say invest time, because when you invest in something,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you don't spend it. You invest in something, then there
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: is a reasonable expectation of return. Okay, So invest time
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to study the scriptures so deeply, so deeply as to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: understand as much as you can understand humanly, with the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: power the Holy Ghost, the character and will of God.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And then helping me to me now want you to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: apply it to yourself, helping me to represent him to others.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: When they see your good works, when you let your
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: light shine from God through your life, they will glorify
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: your Father, which is in heaven. Are you jumping up
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and down right now saying God? I know you're revealing me,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: but I'm ready to go here I am.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Say thanks for joining uspeaking 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,
