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

- 1:51Speaker 2: and Amen again. Show me, please your glory. Norman, are
- 1:59Speaker 2: you That's what I want to know. Jonathan, are you listening?
- 2:03Speaker 2: Show me your glory? Yeah, So there's so much here.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'll just begin with the Bible Book of Exodus, chapter
- 2:11Speaker 2: thirty four. That's the Book of Exodus, chapter thirty four,
- 2:14Speaker 2: verses six and seven, and the Bible reads, and the
- 2:18Speaker 2: Lord passed before him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord, God,
- 2:27Speaker 2: merciful and gracious. Now you want to know why am
- 2:31Speaker 2: I clapping. I'm clapping because God is announcing himself. I
- 2:36Speaker 2: understand that some people have a problem with applause, and
- 2:39Speaker 2: I think if you're talking about applauding people because you
- 2:43Speaker 2: think they're so wonderful, and then there's a discussion about
- 2:46Speaker 2: whether or not the individuals will become proud or whatever.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I'm not talking about people now, I'm talking about God. Now.
- 2:54Speaker 2: God is honoring Moses's request when he said, if I
- 3:00Speaker 2: have found favor with you, God, will you just show
- 3:03Speaker 2: me your glory? And then God begins to announce himself.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I'm hearing the song in my mind, all rise, And
- 3:11Speaker 2: if you're rising in the presence of God and he's
- 3:16Speaker 2: announcing his own arrival, the only thing I can think
- 3:20Speaker 2: about doing besides worshiping is praising Him. And so I
- 3:25Speaker 2: clap my hands in this moment, and I say, I
- 3:28Speaker 2: hear you, the Lord, the Lord, God, merciful and gracious?
- 3:33Speaker 2: Has God been merciful to you? Like that's a silly question,
- 3:36Speaker 2: but I need you to be honest with the answer.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Has He been gracious to you? Meaning, has He given
- 3:42Speaker 2: you what you don't deserve in order to empower you
- 3:46Speaker 2: to do his will so that you can receive the
- 3:49Speaker 2: reward that Jesus deserves. Has He been long suffering to
- 3:53Speaker 2: you patient? I'm talking about patience. Has he abounded in
- 3:58Speaker 2: goodness and truth, truth keeping mercy for thousands. Are you
- 4:02Speaker 2: among the thousands forgiving iniquity? That's the kind of thing
- 4:06Speaker 2: that we do wrong, that is a transgression of God's law,
- 4:10Speaker 2: And we know God is watching and literally don't care.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Has God ever forgiven that emboldened type sin in your life?
- 4:18Speaker 2: And transgression and sin by no means clearing the guilty.
- 4:23Speaker 2: We know that God doesn't change his standard, He does
- 4:26Speaker 2: not change his law in order to accommodate us. Visiting
- 4:30Speaker 2: the iniquity. Oh God, I'm so sorry, visiting the iniquity
- 4:34Speaker 2: of the fathers upon the children and the children's children
- 4:40Speaker 2: to the third and fourth generation. This is who is
- 4:45Speaker 2: appearing before or this is whom Moses is appearing before,
- 4:49Speaker 2: and God is announcing his own arrival. Now the beauty
- 4:55Speaker 2: of this is God said yes. God said yes, yes,
- 5:00Speaker 2: And it was so beautiful because really, like Moses should
- 5:04Speaker 2: have been destroyed if you think about it from a
- 5:07Speaker 2: human perspective, appearing before God. Are you serious? Yeah, Moses
- 5:13Speaker 2: should have been destroyed. But God is so good, and
- 5:16Speaker 2: you want to say, well, how good is he? He's
- 5:19Speaker 2: so good that when he said yes to Moses and
- 5:22Speaker 2: then brought Moses into his presence. He said, there shall
- 5:26Speaker 2: no one see me and live. So here's what I'm
- 5:29Speaker 2: gonna do. I Am going to put you into the
- 5:32Speaker 2: cleft of the rock. So we're gonna cover you with
- 5:35Speaker 2: the rock. Oh, have you been ever ever covered by
- 5:38Speaker 2: the rock which is Christ? And then what I'm gonna
- 5:40Speaker 2: do is, I'm going to cover your own eyes. I'm
- 5:43Speaker 2: gonna cover your eyes with my own hand. Has God
- 5:46Speaker 2: ever covered you with his hands? Have you ever been
- 5:50Speaker 2: under his wings? Have you ever been under the wings
- 5:54Speaker 2: of God and protected by him? And then the Bible
- 5:58Speaker 2: says that God turns his own back, and then this
- 6:03Speaker 2: experience happens, and so Moses experienced God at such a
- 6:08Speaker 2: high level, and God protected him as he condescended in
- 6:14Speaker 2: order to give Moses another experience with him. I guess
- 6:18Speaker 2: the burning bush experience expired in Moses's mind, huh. I
- 6:23Speaker 2: guess the time that Moses experienced with the with the
- 6:27Speaker 2: pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud
- 6:30Speaker 2: by day got him addicted to the presence of God.
- 6:34Speaker 2: And in that moment it was so astounding that Moses's face,
- 6:40Speaker 2: his countenance, really, that's the space behind his face like
- 6:44Speaker 2: the essence of who Moses was became so bright that
- 6:49Speaker 2: the people said, cover that up. Moses, You've been in
- 6:53Speaker 2: the presence. You have been in the presence of God,
- 6:56Speaker 2: to the degree that you have now taken on the
- 7:00Speaker 2: brightness that exudes from God himself. Blessed be his name.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Because of their unbelief, they wanted him to shield them
- 7:10Speaker 2: from it. But the lesson number one here is God's
- 7:13Speaker 2: character is the foundation of our growth. God's character is
- 7:20Speaker 2: the foundation of our growth. And so I want you
- 7:22Speaker 2: to meditate on one of the attributes that we just
- 7:25Speaker 2: announced from the scriptures. One of the attributes. Is it
- 7:29Speaker 2: God's justice? Is it his holiness? Is it his long suffering?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Is it ness? Or the fact that he is gracious
- 7:37Speaker 2: or merciful? Meditate on that daily. I'm talking about it
- 7:41Speaker 2: every single day, no matter what else we say. Beginning tomorrow,
- 7:45Speaker 2: I want you to do this and then ask Him
- 7:48Speaker 2: to form that same character trait in your life. Now
- 7:53Speaker 2: I'm clapping for you because I am excited that you
- 7:57Speaker 2: are in a position to be transformed by the character
- 8:01Speaker 2: of God. Number two we come in from two Peter,
- 8:04Speaker 2: chapter three and verse eighteen, where the Bible says, but
- 8:08Speaker 2: grow in grace. Don't get stuck in grace. Don't get
- 8:12Speaker 2: caught up in the grace from yesterday. Thank God for that.
- 8:16Speaker 2: But I want you to grow in grace and in
- 8:18Speaker 2: the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To
- 8:23Speaker 2: him be Glory, Oh God, both now and forever. Amen, Norman,
- 8:29Speaker 2: are you listening. I said your word more than once today, Brother,
- 8:33Speaker 2: I said glory, hallelujah. And so we never graduate from
- 8:37Speaker 2: God's school of grace. I'm saying, we never graduate from
- 8:42Speaker 2: God's school of grace. Every stage of our walk is
- 8:47Speaker 2: an opportunity for deeper transformation. And so we want to
- 8:52Speaker 2: identify just one area of our spiritual lives where we
- 8:58Speaker 2: have plateaued. Look the word up. If we've gotten to
- 9:01Speaker 2: a point now and we're stuck, set a daily habit
- 9:05Speaker 2: to nurture growth in that area. You feel like you've prayed,
- 9:09Speaker 2: and you've prayed, and you prayed and you hit a wall,
- 9:12Speaker 2: you hit a glass ceiling that, get in your closet,
- 9:14Speaker 2: on your face and pray. You understand. That's it for
- 9:19Speaker 2: basic understanding. Let me hurry up right here first, and
- 9:23Speaker 2: our third lesson comes in from Philippians, chapter one and
- 9:26Speaker 2: verse six. Being confident of this very thing, that He
- 9:29Speaker 2: which began a good work in you, will perform it
- 9:33Speaker 2: until the day of Jesus. He's the one that started
- 9:38Speaker 2: with you. All you need to do is continue to surrender,
- 9:42Speaker 2: and he will finish his work peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah.
