• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 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
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy.

  Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about this for years and years and years,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and thankfully right now God has given me the facility
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: for this. And yeah, go ahead and type of one
• 1:45

  Speaker 2: that's encouraging. Let's go ahead and pray and get underway. Father,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: We thank you, Please help us to accept your patience,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: but don't wear you out. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again, and you're like, oh my wear
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: out God. Yeah, well we can. We can actually quench
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the spirit, like we can really weary the Holy Ghost
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: in the sense of turning away his entreaties for us
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to serve God in his patience. Let me just begin.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Let me just begin with a quote today from from
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the Bible Commentary, the SDA Bible Commentary, Volume two, page
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: one thousand and five, and it reads God is slow
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to anger. I think we can just end right here.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: God is slow to anger. This is one of the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: things that he said to Moses when he he had
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: welcomed him into an experience in the mount when Moses said,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: if if we have found favor with you, please show
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: me your glory. And God revealed in aspect of his
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: character to show that he is slow to anger. But
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: guess what he also said, he will and know wise
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: clear the guilty. So don't take his slow to anger ness.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I just made that way of saying it up as
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a way to be disrespectful to God. Don't wear out
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost, don't don't quench the spirit of God.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Let's not push God away because he's he's slow to anger.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Please let me continue the quote. He gave the wicked
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: nations a time of probation that they might become acquainted
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: with him and his character. Do you realize that God
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is doing the same today as we are traversing the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: path toward a final experience with God. In eternity, living
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: in heath for a thousand years, and then inheriting the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: earth Ah forever and ever, like he promised in Matthew five.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He's still giving nations. He's giving nations time of probation.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Do you realize to whom much is given, much is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to be required? If you are living in a nation
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: where democracy is the way that government is set of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the people, for the people, by the people, even if
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you don't use those words anywhere in the world, realize
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that we are all on those during that time of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: probation because God expects these to be a bastion of hope,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a bastion of justice, a bastion of religious liberty. We
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: are expecting that nations that are governed in this way
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: should use the blessing of God's mercy as an opportunity
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to give people the freedom that we need in order
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to serve God. According to our conscience, was that was
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that was not planned? That was free? That was free.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Let me continue the quote, according to the light given, What,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: according to the light given was their condemnation for refusing
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: uh oh, to receive the light uh oh and choosing
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: their own ways rather than God's ways. God gave the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: reason why he did not at once dispossess the Canaanites.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, we're going back there. The iniquity of the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Amorites was not full. Through their iniquity, they were gradually
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: bringing themselves to the point where God's forbearents could no
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: longer be exercised and they would be exterminated. I don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: like that word, but I find myself in opposition to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: God when he is at the point when when he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: has to do it. If I am am am and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: having a problem with it, Yes, Moses showed us what
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it looks like to entreat God and beg him not
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to do this. But at some point, if love is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: going to be that final pulse throughout the universe, if
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: God's character will be finally the standard for all humans
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and we will all or all created beings, as the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: case may be, even the heavenly agencies, then that means
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that there's a time when sin has to be exterminated
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: full stop. I don't even know another way to say it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Until the point was reached and their iniquity was full,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the vengeance of God would be delayed. All nations had
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a period of probation. Can I just say in twenty
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: twenty five, that's still the reality. I'm repeating myself. Those
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: who made void God's law, now we know what the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: standard is, his law, his Ten Commandments law. And yes
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: they are still binding upon people, including especially people who
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: are living under what we call the New Covenant. Because
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: God has written his laws in our hearts. He has
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: written his laws on our minds, and He has given
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: us the privilege of actually being able to do His
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: will because of the Holy ghosts working through us the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: will and to do of God's good pleasure. Mm hmm.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Children would inherit the rebellious spirit of their parents. Oh, God,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: help Simone and I to teach Josiah your ways and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to do worse than their fathers before them, until God's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: wrath would fall upon them. The punishment was not less
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: because it was deferred. Lord, help us not to take
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: your mercy, please, for granted, God has given us a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: way out. We do not have to go down the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: path of our four parents, our forebearers, who some of
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: them despise the mercy of God. Romans chapter two and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: verse four talks about that. And so this is a
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: question for you, it's a question for me as well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: how does divine patience reveal both God's mercy and his justice?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Do you realize that the same one we know as
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, the Anointed, the anointed
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: one who is as God our father, is that Jesus,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: who gave his life for us, is a manifestation of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: God being able to be just and the justifier of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: those who are called by God. Meaning God can see
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: us just as if we had never sinned. He can
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: forgive us and cleanse us from all of our unrighteousness
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: if we surrender our will to him, because Jesus paid
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the debt that is required of every soul that sins.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Because the Bible says every soul that sins must die,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that means all of us, every human who's ever lived
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: on plant earth, with the exception of Jesus Christ, was
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: really supposed to die. Anyone born of a woman should
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: die because we have all sinned and come short of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. But I'm glad that the text
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't stop there. It says that he can be just,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: meaning meet the judgment against sin, but he also can
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: justify us. That means he can make it as if
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: we had never sinned when we simply surrender our will
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to God. When we yield our will to God and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: we accept God's mercy, we can have eternal life. We
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: can have eternal life, so when God's forbearance ends, we
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: have no need to be on the end of that
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we can have his mercy. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
