Greetings friends and new listeners and welcome to this program on the Archie Harding ministries.

I'm sure not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

The message we bring you today is timely and trustworthy jeopardy. Losing your rewards. I hope you will hear with your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how you should respond to this inspired word jeopardy.

Losing your rewards.

You made me needed I want to thank you all for present in your way out on a night like tonight, and I thank the Lord that we can come together and enjoy his presence.

I want to go to heaven because I read the book of Revelation and I know or or free every month or they might be tropical so I want to go to heaven. What about you.

Amen. Praise the Lord and not only that I want to go to heaven because I want to see Jesus first and foremost, but going not made up my mind that I'm going I want to receive heaven's best, and that some are going to talk about tonight, but were going to start by reading a verse of Scripture. In second Timothy 316 and 17 as I got into this message and a lot of things you know lead to one thing led to the other.

So what I've decided to do is to break it up into two parts and minister the first part tonight and minister.

The second part, the next time I preach because both parts can stand alone but yet they dovetail together and so that's what we'll do what and I don't want to begin in second Timothy chapter 3 in verse 16 and we can read this together. Are you ready what's the first word that nice and loud.

All we don't want to miss the determiner and in this case is very important because if it is modifying the word Scripture. All Scripture is given by inspiration of who God and he is what profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works now very quickly and I just wanted sort of zoom in on some key things here. This is a menace to be a message unto itself but I want to see that all Scripture and that means from Genesis to Revelation. All Scripture is inspired of God. Man wrote it, but the word of God says they wrote is the Holy Spirit carrying them about as it did the Holy Spirit like to look them up in the into discounting them in the heavenly places and under the inspiration of the Lord, they begin to write just like today God uses people to get the prophecy and they begin to flow under the anointing it words come out and this is the same whaling was put down the paper and even those parts of the Bible that are historical in nature, God still chose to be in there because the Bible says in another place that the Old Testament is for our admonition and learning that we live by faith and patience. We might understand and know that we can run the race and finish victoriously and using their example we can know what to do and what not to do, but all Scripture is profitable, that it's going to benefit me in some way to do it in one of these ways, and I will really dwell on these most similar explanatory doctrine and reproof we need doctrine teaches what were doing the first place.

We need reproof that were not doing what we've been taught to do.

Amen.

And then continue.

We need to be corrected because the correct something means to put it up on its feet and headed in the right direction and that instruction in righteousness because the Holy Ghost comes to teach us and he teaches us the word of God and so we will allow ourselves to receive all Scripture we will find that it will benefit us because we will be perfect and we use that word perfect.

Of course we know that it is referring to the person who is mature in Christ and is developed in Christ, and the place where they are there and the holy word of God, thoroughly furnished them and that's what I want to be. I want to be furnished using the Bible says if any man be in Christ is a new creature. We become born again like a brand-new house. This body that once was filled with sinful emotions and desires.cast out everything unclean until the mix is a brand-new but he wants to put in some brand-new furniture. I mean, if a person was a blessed enough to be able to build a house from from you know scratch they don't want to go up the Salvation Army and get somebody's leftover broken down so by bringing in their brain dump and find discarded dining room set with the legs about ready to fall often in the exclusions all ripped up every month some pretty brand-new furniture to go in that brand-new house and that's what I love about the Lord.

He only made us a brand-new but is one of Shaw's wisdom furniture got hand-me-down secondhand use.everything that he does.

Rossi does and I guess about the last eight years or so it's it's been part of what the Lord working in my life that I read the Bible through from Genesis to Revelation. Every year, just as a matter of course reading it through and I got to tell you that there are some passages that have to read them once maybe twice in a target really board there are some places in Exodus and Leviticus that talk about sockets and bruising and is like okay really need to read this once I did read it once or twice and international harmony sockets pointed out to screw it and where to hang it on the yards of material you need. I mean do I really need all this, Lord, and some kind of you know you can get stuck in some of those passages in your reading it, but your mind is you know it at Walmart or something is up here.

You're just not into this but you know it's in the word of God and were not, you know, don't get shall govern original whole book of Exodus or anything like that but were just undertake glimpse at a few places.

Let's look at Exodus 35 now start off in a good place and they would just go around a few places and and remember I'm giving you just a tad of this a tad of that you read all well Genesis is fine once you get past Genesis you can ask Atticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Except for a few interesting stories here and there were people usually messed up. The Lord had done do something which teaches that we can really get bored by some of the stuff, but all of this is for purpose because what was the very first thing we read tonight. All Scripture. So here we are annexes the 35th chapter very quickly will look at verse 30 and Moses said to the children of Israel see the Lord is called by name Best Buy heal the son of Yuri, the son of her of the tribe of Judah, and he asked him with the spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all manner of workmanship and to devise curious works in the work. Here it just means very detailed and intricate thing. Think of something like the embroidered realness sweater on all the little gaudy tonight but it's for a reason and to work in gold and silver and brass, and in the cutting of stones to set them in the carving of wood to make any manner of Connie work delicate intricate work and he is pointing his heart that he may teach both he and a holy, the son of a history of mock of the tribe of Dan that the filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver of the cunning workman of the Reuter in blue and in purple and scarlet in fine linen of the waiver.

Even then, the do any work. Any of those that devise cunning work. Now all of the anointed. These are things that he gave to do bill to make something out of wood and things that these people again on all these sound like Biden read all the verses in front of me. I think he was talking about a preacher or teacher that he gave them wisdom and knowledge and understanding and all so they could build something. But you see it's very important because everything… Perfectly.

When she stood out there all when everything was just buoying in darkness and water, and he created everything he made it good school.

It's good and it's good it's very good at all that he doesn't know how to do anything but excellent God excellent, and so he copies people and he gained them on the scale not to preach the gospel to carpenters to be ingrained verse and we might herself. Now people in the middle of the Sinai desert where people who had been slaves for 400 years over.

They get gold and fine linen and purple. In all of this stuff always people to do this wonderful work that he was going to give them to do well if you remember when they were leaving Egypt on that night that they went to their slave masters and went to borrow a van in the Bible says that God gave them birth so that they were saying here take the take the silver techno jewels and the specter is barren is very interesting because it said, and saw the game under them. Such things as they were, would require require leaving why you need to take silver and gold and jewels in the middle of the wilderness, and they had told they were only gone for three days. Remember said let us go three days we can serve our God, and of course the plan was that when they were never going to come back and that's why whenever he said that you can go but leave your wives or wife.

Okay you can go but your children know we I think our children generating company.

What we need.

We need something to sacrifice because they were coming back and so they need these things because they were coming back and they needed these things because God was going to use them to build a tabernacle they were going to be in the wilderness for 40 years and they needed to go to church. They needed to go to charts of God was going to build a portable chart so that were average for 40 years.

They took charge with them they could tear it down and build it up, tear down the build and yet it had to be excellent.

That's all God knows how to do it had to be beautiful, because everything… A portable tabernacle, a portable charge and everywhere they went, the glory of God.

The presence of God went with them in the tabernacle and you know what I have a portable church to the faith tabernacle, but I have a portable chart. I know God's presence is with me. My body has become a portable tabernacle of the Lord and everywhere… Presence and anointing stay with me.

The same commute with the same answer that we can minister one to another.

We can be here for God to bring people but wherever church went out walking down the street church. What can be for or something because God is given me this portable tabernacle, and you have one to 12 annexes. Let's flip over to the 26 chapter 2615 and thou shall make boards for the tabernacle of should avoid standing up how many really get into no reason about boards that maybe Benitez is a carpenter there might be a couple other years, but the most of us, so it's 10 cubits of the what that is, shall be the length of the board and the Cuban have to be the breath and two tendons. There shall be in one board and one against the other and estimated for all the boards of the tabernacle, and thou shall make boards for the tabernacle 20 boards on the staff and you're going to be 21 N. and the B 20 will need to be 20 and thou shall make silver under the 20 boards and two sockets under one board for two tendons into stock. I thought so what is this mean to us.

Okay to turn to the 27th Look at verse nine and shall make the court the tabernacle of the self outside southward will be hanging for the court to find twined linen of 100 cubits long for one side of a report coming our thinking you and $20 thereof in 20 sockets brass the hopes of the pillars of their village shall be of silver light was on the north side so wanted someone and you have it repeated over and over again and you go little further up, it'll go back and repeat and tell them all over again. So this is how it is. And so we might think Parsifal is important. What does this mean to us. First of all we need to understand that when Moses went up and the amount he was up there with God 40 days. How many remember 40 days and 40 nights, and he got more than the 10 Commandments. It doesn't take three days and 40 nights 10 command I can do that easily, and 40 minutes.

No, God was giving him all kinds of instruction and part of it was all had to be very dark.

I mean, I think the Lord had given him a photographic memory because remember the sockets in the cubits in the boards and the goes on and on and this is just a small part of it. But God when he told the building. I want you to build this just like the installable now. She is identical to that which is in heaven.

Everything that was a snake with it was a replica of the actual holy place in heaven.

And that's why it had to be precise, he had to do it perfectly.

You got people today are Jack leg think they cheat here taking care of and that's why houses are crooked foundations are cracking.

They don't care but now everything that Moses did. It had to be perfect everything down to the nails in the brads artist that's turnover to Exodus the 30th chapter and let's look at another portion here. I mean, there's so much that they hear that you not just give me a little – verse 23 techno also.

Three principal spices of pure murder 500 shekels sentiment have so much as 250 shekels hospital. The what that is. Even 250 shekels of sweet calamus 250 shekels and of casket 500 shekels after the shekel of the sanctuary and of all of will of Allah in hand in hand.

I have no idea what he and I parted many hand but I haven't heard a olive oil in and now shall make it all boiled holy anointment and anointment compound after the part of the apothecary, it shall be a holy anointing oil, and he goes on to tell them that he's going to take this holy anointing oil and anoint every piece in the in in the sanctuary. The candle that alter the issue take with us, you read everything to be anointed later on, every piece of when the when they put on there because it's got to be anointed, you know, I just heard something the other day that's very very interesting in there is hiding places that they're beginning to discover in the land of Israel, and in one of these very remote places. They found a flask of this anointing oil. It had been there now for several thousand years at least and they found the and you say well this is so sleep again, because when we build the temple in the Bible is clear that the Temple will be rebuilt. They're going to have to have the anointing oil to bless and anoint all these things.

And isn't it just you know some coincidence that they just happened recently. Very recently was just on the news that they found this anointing oil because it was a secret ballot was all put together, and was it was so holy and precious that they were forbidden for one to make it at home.

I mean, if they would signal this and you know they got the formula that here. And they made it home. They were not allowed to do that. It was only only be used in the holy Temple by the priest ordinary people could use it or make it so it's very significant are, let's look at Exodus 39 and I'm almost done with all this this here. I just want to give you a little idea what what where were going and how this relates to us as of the first to Exodus 39 and he made Eve thought of gold, blue and purple and scarlet, and find twined linen. Nate now what you listen to this and they did beat the gold into thin plate and cut it into wires to work it in the blue and in the purple and in the scarlet, and in the final and with cunning work. They make shoulder pieces Ford Coppola together by the two edges was a couple together and the curious girl that just means very ornately embroidered girdle of the E Fahd that was upon it was one of the same. According to the work thereof. Gold, blue and purple and scarlet, and find twined linen, as the Lord commanded Moses what I want you to see if they told pure gold, and they be that Goldthwaite was flat is flat thin as they could get it and when they had been they could get it they had declining in the in in wires. Why, because unlike this fake stuff that I'm wearing tonight. It was real gold. That was the red that they used to make the priest garments. Think about that but no real golfing of the work in the time and the going to be that girl gets shown in the cutting enough that they could use it as read that amazing. So you see that everything that was down to the rats down to the screws down to the balls down to being it was ridiculously and ornately designed no detail was overlooked or's orders skipped not as insignificant. Everything was extremely important and that those that had to follow everything down to the minute detail and recorded to the minute detail in the word of God. Now I realize it was important for Moses to get the blueprints and the instructions just right because after all he had to go to the carpenter beauty Beasley Allen.

The other guys and say not. Here are the blueprints you got a good just like this and I know he had to go to the seamstresses and the Taylor's and he had to say.

Here's the pattern.

This is how the close of data be made. You gotta make sure all like this he had to go to the apothecary and say now you have got to make sure down to the Homestead, or that you made this anointing oil should not like. I understand that no write down all those people so they could do their job. Understand but what I don't understand is why care what I want to read these things and why the Bible say all Scripture is brought stuff that is boring to me because I don't even understand most of it. So why is it all Scripture is inspired of God and is profitable for you and for me in some way be a doctor reprove correction in righteousness and all these laborious technical images affect me that I should be concerned about reading them what they say to me before I answer that question. I want to show you how the Lord answered it to me one morning. Very recently, and I gotta tell you that it is the morning prayer in the morning time, those of the answers to prayer about their freshest there.

The answers to prayers are the least contaminated by the flesh or by our emotions or buyer circumstances or by the influences that we face and usually that will get the purest word from the Lord. And so I was praying, as I often do when you know what I like to walk and praying always ask the Lord to you know to to wash me and cleanse me in and out.

You noted just take the water of his word. I visualize myself onto the lap of the word and having to wash me and cleanse me from any contaminants and I just rejoice in the Lord, and I rejoice in his word and… The old get your words, the joy, the rejoicing of my heart. I love your work exult in the word happy until the Lord how much I appreciate his word and his brothers doing this one morning and I also say things like all Lord I'm not rewired everywhere word I love I love everyone. Genesis 1 2221 I love your word, so I was praying like this one day not to be trying to get through these passages in Exodus about all the sockets things like that you know and thought about praying that the love I just said you know and after I said it heard the Holy Spirit speak to my heart and he said but you know they're not your reply. I said that that seem so irrelevant. I love the those riches are not irrelevant but they too can do your spiritual growth and so you know I can't take it back in one week.

Images open my heart and incline my heart and meditate on what the Lord was trying to tell me and I begin understand I begin the spirit begin to make known to me, just as God is so meticulously painstakingly creating every school in every socket down to the red of the garments down to the balance of the ointment. The things that work in back tabernacle.

That was a temporary tabernacle that was just at eight only for a short period of time.

Just as God was so careful to prescribe re-paying for that earthly tabernacle because it was after two tabernacle that existed in new Jerusalem, so that his and his three could come down and fill that place and I want you to turn their very just for a moment, let's pause and turn in Exodus the end of Exodus the very end of the book and see what happens. Verse 33 of Exodus 40 the last chapter, and he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar of the hangings of the court date and let us read this next sentence together so Moses finished the work then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. So, just as God because that place to be made just perfectly. And when it was according to the pattern is given to every minute detail the glory of God came down in place to such a degree that could not walk in the door. He could not rate the glory that filled that earthly tabernacle and so it is not a holy place where God came down and just like in my life because what, no, not that your body is the temple of the Lord and the Greek the holy place the Holy Pl., April is the color coded seeing the whole only because we we are the holy priest, just as long. Place God has allowed detail of my life. Experience in my life.

God is making a detail so that he can work on me. Sometimes I feel that hammer beaten away just beaten away. You're not flat enough. You gotta get down a little flatter. Amen. Gotta get down lower and sometimes I feel the pressure of God not feel that big old needle going in and out of their amazing God is not so much attention to what temporary tabernacle, how much more is he going to work on me, much more. Is he going to work on you when he said you will be anointing will abide anointing on the holy well thought out. Tighten the screws on the work will not because just like the glory of God, that place after they had been obedient to the pattern and it was finished so you know, so Moses finished the work you have to read all the boring details to understand his finished work when it was God all the noise only God knows. Amen.

What an eye-opening heart transforming word of the Lord jeopardy losing your rewards St. I must tell you truthfully, when God revealed to my spirit. How much everything I do and how I do it and why I do it for his kingdom will determine what eternal rewards I will receive or forfeit. It revolutionized my Christian walk. My whole life. All my life has been serving God, but I didn't always do it with the best attitudes I had tendencies to pride and self-righteousness and even pouting that I did not see his problems were not talking about one salvation are going to heaven. We are talking about our works being tried once were in heaven. Paul said that every man's work shall be made manifest and revealed by fire to see what sort not what size, what quality not what quantity it is. Paul said that we all individually will stand before the beam at the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for the deeds done in our bodies, whether good or bad. He referred to Christians not sinners and he said that if our work survived the fire, we shall receive a reward. They will come forth as gold silver and precious stones.

But if they do not survive the fire. They will be burned as wood stubble and hay and he shall suffer the loss of his rewards for me this is a sobering reality. I don't really want to go to heaven. I went all the rewards on eligible to receive and I believe you do to find out seven things the Scripture say that will be tried from our words to our works are giving how we act and endure in trials are motivations you know there's even a reward for those who love and look for the Lord's coming and the rapture. I call it the Marinette. The reward today's message jeopardy.
