Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

- 1:13Speaker 2: or this test of whether we would do the Lunchtime
- 1:17Speaker 2: Life Application edition that today would be the day I'd
- 1:20Speaker 2: announce whether we continue with this lunchtime edition right now,
- 1:25Speaker 2: based on the current the current interest, We're going to
- 1:30Speaker 2: press pause on the lunchtime edition, okay. And of course,
- 1:35Speaker 2: every single day without fail, if the Lord's Faar's life,
- 1:38Speaker 2: we will be with you every morning as usual with
- 1:42Speaker 2: our actual study, okay. And so when you pick up
- 1:45Speaker 2: the your Daily Portion Life Application Guide at your Daily
- 1:48Speaker 2: Portion dot Com, you can look at that alone, not
- 1:52Speaker 2: alone when I say alone, like without me in the afternoon,
- 1:56Speaker 2: and make sure that you continue to pray and say, God,
- 2:00Speaker 2: how do I apply what we are studying in the
- 2:03Speaker 2: four key areas spiritual, personal relationship, and in professional Okay.
- 2:09Speaker 2: So for now we're going to press pause, and we'll
- 2:12Speaker 2: see you in the morning times only only in the
- 2:15Speaker 2: morning times, which we've done for years and years and years,
- 2:19Speaker 2: thank God. So let's go ahead and pray and make
- 2:21Speaker 2: the most of the time that we have for this afternoon. Father,
- 2:24Speaker 2: we thank you, We thank you for the privilege of
- 2:27Speaker 2: coming together and having options. Lord, we can tabernacle, You
- 2:31Speaker 2: will tabernacle with us, and we can connect with other
- 2:35Speaker 2: humans and somehow we continue to grow in grace and
- 2:39Speaker 2: then the knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Please help
- 2:43Speaker 2: us to do that today. In Jesus' name, I pray
- 2:46Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. Spiritual application. What is important now?
- 2:52Speaker 2: Straight out of the Life Application guide, and if you've
- 2:55Speaker 2: not picked up the one for the Book of Joshua,
- 2:57Speaker 2: please do so today before this, Okay, what is important now?
- 3:02Speaker 2: The sanctuary was built after God delivered Israel from Egypt
- 3:09Speaker 2: and established a covenant relationship with his people. So God
- 3:15Speaker 2: already delivered his people, He's already establishing covenant with his people,
- 3:21Speaker 2: and now he is solidifying it by saying, let me
- 3:24Speaker 2: build build that sanctuary, Moses, so that I can dwell
- 3:29Speaker 2: among them. To internalize the insight. The sanctuary was a
- 3:34Speaker 2: sacred place where God met with his people, symbolizing the
- 3:39Speaker 2: intimate relationship made possible through redemption. It taught profound truths
- 3:46Speaker 2: that Christ's sacrifice about his sacrifice and ministry. All the
- 3:52Speaker 2: animal sacrifices with their blood symbolized the cost of sin
- 3:56Speaker 2: and the need for atonement, ultimately po to Jesus's perfect
- 4:01Speaker 2: sacrifice for our salvation. So this is what we're thinking about.
- 4:05Speaker 2: The sanctuary is a symbol of our connection with God.
- 4:10Speaker 2: And all that he needed to do in order to
- 4:13Speaker 2: save us. Okay, and now the next best move. What
- 4:15Speaker 2: do we do with this? Meditate on the significance of
- 4:19Speaker 2: Christ's sacrifice and thank God for making a way for
- 4:24Speaker 2: you to be reconciled with him. Thank Him for making
- 4:31Speaker 2: a way for you to be reconciled with him. Personal application,
- 4:38Speaker 2: What is important now. God's willingness to dwell with humanity
- 4:44Speaker 2: culminated in Jesus living as one of us and offering
- 4:49Speaker 2: himself for our sins. Internalize the insight this extraordinary love
- 4:57Speaker 2: reveals the heart of God desiring not only to be
- 5:01Speaker 2: near us, but to save us completely, even at great
- 5:08Speaker 2: personal cost. You realize that Jesus invested a lot by
- 5:11Speaker 2: taking on human flesh. You realize that he is not
- 5:15Speaker 2: able to be in all places at the same time
- 5:17Speaker 2: without now the presence of the Holy Ghost, whereas before
- 5:22Speaker 2: he was not limited to a body as we know bodies.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And so I'm thankful that Jesus did that and more
- 5:30Speaker 2: in order to what reveal the love of God in
- 5:35Speaker 2: our lives. It shows how deeply God values each of
- 5:39Speaker 2: us and longs for us to be part of his
- 5:42Speaker 2: eternal kingdom. The next best move. Reflect on God's love
- 5:48Speaker 2: expressed through Jesus's sacrifice, and renew your commitment to live
- 5:53Speaker 2: in a way that honors that love. The decisions that
- 5:57Speaker 2: you will make today is that honoring to God love.
- 6:01Speaker 2: The things that you will say to people or refrain
- 6:03Speaker 2: from saying. If somebody needs to be advocated for, will
- 6:08Speaker 2: you step up and be their advocate? Think about it? Okay,
- 6:13Speaker 2: and then we're going to relationships. Relationships? What is the
- 6:20Speaker 2: importance now? The Sanctuary Ministry pointed forward to Jesus's ongoing
- 6:25Speaker 2: heavenly intercession for us internalize the insight. Jesus continues his
- 6:33Speaker 2: priestly work, his high priestly work, advocating on our behalf
- 6:37Speaker 2: and preparing a place for us with God. This reassures
- 6:42Speaker 2: us that our salvation is secure and that God is
- 6:47Speaker 2: actively working in our lives and relationship. So if Christ
- 6:52Speaker 2: went back to heaven to prepare a place for us
- 6:56Speaker 2: right and has promised to come again and receive us
- 6:59Speaker 2: under to himself that where he is we can be. Also,
- 7:03Speaker 2: what kind of place or space are we making for
- 7:05Speaker 2: other people in our lives? Or are we selfish and
- 7:09Speaker 2: cutting ourselves off, closing ourselves off from relationships. And then
- 7:14Speaker 2: the next best move pray for someone struggling with doubt
- 7:18Speaker 2: or discouragement and share with them the hope we have
- 7:23Speaker 2: in Jesus's intercession. You know, brother, you know sister, that
- 7:27Speaker 2: Jesus is interceding for us right now. You just said
- 7:30Speaker 2: that you feel unworthy, But Jesus is currently positioning you
- 7:35Speaker 2: before the Father because he's covering you in his righteousness.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Everything that he did right, all of the resistance to evil,
- 7:45Speaker 2: he has put that in your spiritual bank accounts. So
- 7:48Speaker 2: you absolutely are worthy. You are accepted in the beloved
- 7:52Speaker 2: you see. And so God is giving us the privilege
- 7:55Speaker 2: to go into the spaces of humans that are going
- 7:58Speaker 2: through these kinds of trouble and help them to find
- 8:02Speaker 2: courage in that connection with God. And then finally, our
- 8:07Speaker 2: professional application. What is important now Our work can reflect
- 8:12Speaker 2: the principles of redemption and service modeled in the sanctuary.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Internalize the insight understanding the Sanctuary's purpose inspires us to
- 8:25Speaker 2: serve others with dedication and integrity, Recognizing our efforts have
- 8:32Speaker 2: an eternal significance when done in God's name. There are
- 8:36Speaker 2: things that you do at work all the time, things
- 8:38Speaker 2: that you do in your business all the time that
- 8:41Speaker 2: have an impact on others. Is it for God? Is
- 8:43Speaker 2: it for good? Or is it for ill? And then finally,
- 8:48Speaker 2: our next best move look for the one way to
- 8:52Speaker 2: serve or encourage a colleague or we can even say
- 8:56Speaker 2: a client. This week, even though the week is ending,
- 9:00Speaker 2: have a few hours as an expression of God's love.
- 9:06Speaker 2: When you become the hands and feet of Christ, when
- 9:10Speaker 2: you are pouring into the lives and experiences of people,
- 9:14Speaker 2: you do so in Jesus's name. He said, let your
- 9:18Speaker 2: light so shine before people, even at the workplace, that
- 9:21Speaker 2: when they see your good works, they will glorify our Father,
- 9:25Speaker 2: which is in heaven. And So, what I want you
- 9:27Speaker 2: to do from now on, because again we're pausing on
- 9:30Speaker 2: the lunchtime edition. We're pausing on the lunchtime edition is
