• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the chat like an Old Testament prophecy, your favorite one.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: You could put like what the text is. You could
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: say Isaiah fifty three if he wanted to, or something
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: else Micah chapter five, or something else, like what was
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: your favorite Old Testament prophecy that gives you hope in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: thee these last days as we prepare for the coming
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. Type it in the chat. Type it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in the chat. Let's see. Let's see what you got there. Okay.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And so the question really is what major takeaway can
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we get from today's lesson? Hopefully you would have already studied.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: If not, this will get you started. But let me
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: just go to Jeremiah chapter twenty nine and verse eleven.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: This is the takeaway that I have gleaned from this
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: lesson for today, and it reads, for I know what
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I have planned for you. I'm reading from the New
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: English translation of the Bible. For I know this is
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: God speaking. What I have planned for you, says the Lord.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I have plans to prosper you not to harm you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: can I just say that and sometimes sometimes And I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: was in church a couple of months ago in August
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: when somebody raised their hand. We were having Bible class,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and you know, he started to sort of thunder about
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: how we're not prepared, you know, the collective, we are
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: not prepared for the coming, and went to a Bible
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: passage in the Book of Amos about about preparing for
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the coming in so many words, right, not so many words.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But then he started to talk about behaviors, behaviors of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: people who are believers, and he started to like really
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: focus on behaviors, not relationship behaviors, not connection with God,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: behaviors outward symptoms of reality that is in our hearts,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and not even start, not even touching how we can
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: get connected with God. And I'm like, oh, wait a minute.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Now God is here because he has he has, He
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: has plans for us, plans to prosper us in every way, spiritual,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in other ways, right, not to harm us. I have
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: plans to give you a future filled with hope, brothers
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and sisters. When we are preparing for the coming of
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the Lord, when we are looking back at the prophecies
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that pointed forward to Messiah. We should think of the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: mind set of God, which is I'm not here to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: harm you. Think of the mindset of God that stops
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: at nothing to save us from our sins. Think of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the mindset of God that, even when he is chiding
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: us and correcting us, the purpose is to connect us
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: with him, connect us with his love, help us to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: be in right relationship with Him, not just to tick
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a box that says, Okay, you've accomplished this. Finally you
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: are holy enough to get into the kingdom. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: We miss something really really key here. If we miss
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: God's intention for us. He intends that we are prospered.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: He intends that we are not harmed by him. He
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: intends to give us an expected and a future filled
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: with hope. This reassures us that if we remain connected
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: with God, then he will take care of all of
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: our character flaws, teach us how to live holy in
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Christ Jesus, and then one day we will see him
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: face to face. I wish I had the time, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: let's read from the Book of Isaiah, chapter fourty and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: verse three, and the Bible reads the voice of Him
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the Lord, make straight in the desert, a highway for God.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: And so we see that the Old Testament Bible writers showed,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I want to say, he foreshadowed when John would would
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: actually fulfill this where he is preparing the way for
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, so that when people saw Jesus coming, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: our brother John the Baptist pointed into right directly at
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus and said, behold the Lamb of God which taketh
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: away the sins of the world. He was saying, when
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: upon us that we should be called as children. He's
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: pointing at Jesus and saying, this is the antidote. You
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: have a sin problem, So do I. He is the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: antidote you've been wondering how we're going to be saved.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: He is the Savior. Behold the Lamb of God which
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: taketh away the sins of the world. The Savior became
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: our substitute so that we could be saved. And we
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: saw that in the Old Testament passage, and then fulfillment,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of course in Jesus's day and in Psalm chapter sixty
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: nine and verse nine, The Bible reads, for the zeal
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of mine house thine house, excuse me, hath eaten me up?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And the reproaches of them that reproacheth thee are fallen
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: upon me. And so Jesus in the temple, as he
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: is cleansing the temple, while he was living on planet Earth,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: he was showing that human beings sometimes get ahead of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: our skis. Sometimes we start to focus on ourselves when
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: we are in God's presence. Sometimes we use holy things
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: in order to execute our own ends. And these people,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: these wicked leaders, those individuals who were unrepentant, turned God's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: house into a house of merchandise. And Jesus was filled
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: with the zeal of his father. He was filled with
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: zeal for holiness. And of course he went and had
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to go deal with that, and of course get those
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: those guys up out of there, okay. And so Jeremiah
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: chapter two and verse three reads, for my people have
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: committed two evils. What are they? They have forsaken me
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the fountain of living waters, hewn them out cisterns, broken,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: cisterns that hold no water. If we are God's children
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and we are, are you like maybe maybe I should
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: ask the question. But if we are God's children, then
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that means when if we are our cisterns that are
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: like God holding water, holding water of life. Having Jesus
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: abide in us, who is the water of life. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: as he said in John chapter seven and verse thirty eight,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: if we believe in Him, out of our belly shall
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: flow rivers of living waters, rather than like hewing for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: ourselves cisterns and trying to do things our own way
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: and having holes in ourselves so when the water comes in,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it just leaks out. We need to be receptive to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: God and then let these waters flow out to other
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: people so they too can be seen.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks 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,
