Royalty VS Religion Part 3 | Pastor Dwain Wolfe | Aug 3rd 2025

Father, We thank you for your word. Today, we thank

you that you're feeding us with mana from heaven. You

ever had you ever had syrup on your manna? I

think that's what happened at the New Horizon. We get

syrup on our manna. Oh yeah, syrup on the mana.

Thank you for it, Jesus name. Everybody said, you know

what mana is. You know what mana is. Mana is

what God fed the children of Israel with for forty

years when they were wandering through the wilderness. He sustained

them with mana. But it was a picture of his word.

He sustained them with his word as they were going

through the wilderness, and every day they would go out

and gather some mana. Right, So bread is important, yes?

How many of you think bread is important? Bread is

metaphoric to old food. How many of you eat in

the building, anybody eat in this building? How many of

you think food is important? All? Right? Those that didn't

raise your hand, no lunch for you. Bread is important, right?

And so God sustains us with bread. Yes, so we

had a We had a visitor at the wolf house

last night. I don't know if I should tell this

story or not. I'm not sure if I'm gonna get

in trouble or not pastor results not listening. But last night,

yours truly was very exhausted, probably after whipping up on

everybody in cornhole and uh, what's that air again? Pick

a ball? I don't even know what it is. But

after such great victories, I got home and I was

a little exhausted, and so I like, I collapsed. All

my stuffing fell out, and so i'm you know, I

went to bed early, and so I'm and I'm wiped out.

And so I said the passageholes sent honey, did you

close the and it's three stories down? I said, honey,

did you close the dining room door? Oh? I don't

think so. Was it open? Yeah, it was open. I

don't think so. Well, you probably should close that. Oh

all right, all right, anyway, so this morning, this morning,

we get up and she proceeds to the kitchen earlier

than me. Now, kitchen, the kitchen is where you find

the bread of life. The kitchen is where you find nourishment.

The kitchen is where you eat. The kitchen is where

everything is available to you. Should you should you intentionally

do something about her? Right? And so she goes down

to the kitchen sooner than me, and then I hear them,

and I had this funny feeling last night. I don't know.

Last night, at the table at the house parting, for

some odd reason, people brought up raccoons. Chris, you were there,

Joe Simms is at that table, Jim was at that table,

and somebody else. Anyway, somebody brought up raccoons, and so

I had this funny feeling last night though our raccoon

was gonna come in the house. Now. I don't know

if it was the table discussion or what it was,

but I get this hollered from Joel Honey come up quickly.

I'm like, oh boy, so something came in the house

last night. We don't know what it was. Something came

in the house last night. It pulled the Dave Killer's

bread off the countertop and had eaten a bunch of it,

and then it left kind of like a lot of us,

It left a couple of heels sitting there, uneaten. Even

the raccoons don't like the heels. What's with that? That

proves right there that the heels, Oh that's not the

best right there anyway. But the raccoon knew where to go,

It knew to come to the kitchen. I don't know

if it's the raccoon. It might, I don't know what

it was it. But the tooth marks, all right, the

tooth because there were bites out of the bread. They

didn't look like mouse bites. They were fairly large. Would

you rather have a raccoon in your house or a

mouse or a rat? Raccoon, I think a raccoon, and

then you know that it's not there, right, It's like, okay, okay,

I think it's gone, but a rat, a rat could

be hiding. Right. So anyway, we had a crazy visord

last night. So but I think it fits because what

the Lord's calling us to do is to get into

the kitchen. The Lord's calling us to uh to intentionally

devour the bread of heaven. And this is you know,

this is the beautiful part of the privilege of royalty

is that we get the bread of heaven. We get

the bread of heaven. Right, So Matthew four, men shall

not live by but by every word that proceeds from

the mouth of God. Now God is not done talking.

God didn't when the cannon was sealed, when the canon

was closed. God wasn't done talking. He created women. No, no,

work with me, work with me, work with me. Women

have twenty five thousand words a day. Men five gabby men,

Gabby men, Jayson gabby men maybe have five to ten thousand.

I don't know any gabby men in the building. Italian men.

Have you been to Italy? My word? They're like women.

Shut up already, any Italians in the building. Frank went

home already? Okay, so Frank Frank, you know, not Frank

caster home. But huh Frank Vittali. So I don't know.

Is he like that? I don't know. Is he talkative? No,

he's not like that. Raised in America, ruins everybody. So

manahall not live by bread alone, but by every word.

God has so many words over us. He's not short

on words. And the cannon was was sealed, but God's

mouth was not. And God dispenses the bread of heaven.

But we, you know, we have to stop. We have

to we have to be intentional. The kitchen doesn't chase me,

the supplies of the kitchen doesn't chase me. Uh, I

have to stop. I have to take time. I have

to be intentional. I literally have to pause the kitchen

and is this beautiful place in my home with purpose.

The kitchen has purpose, and it's there that I find

nourishment and sustenance. And there's other rooms that are beautiful

to hang out in. There's other rooms where there's entertainment.

There's other rooms where there's activities. There's other rooms where

there's rest, there's other rooms where there are chores. But

the kitchen is very intentional. It's the kitchen where I

find nourishment. If I turn my attention to it. I

can have a kitchen loaded with goodies, right, loaded with

breads and spreads and goodies. But it does not force

itself into my digestive system. It's waiting for me to

interact with it and to initiate and to actually lean

into right and to actually work my energy in that

kitchen right so that the nourishment available will then get

into the palate or over the palate, Is the palate

is into or over? You don't know? All right, it's over,

it's over over the palate, down the gullet. Is it

in the gullet? You don't know. You're not familiar with

these goofy words. Down the hatch, down the down the hatch.

There has to be an interaction. And this is uh,

you know, this is religion. Religion was religion is and

was blind obedience. Wow, religion was blind obedience religion still today,

as we think about religion, it's it's rules without revelation.

Are you with me? Rules without revelation? If here's what

I think, I think, wherever you're struggling with God's rules,

it's because it's only because you're lacking revelation. Wherever I'm

struggling with God's rules, I'm simply lacking revelation. Royalty, the

royalty of the indwelling spirit. Here's the indwelling spirit, right,

and this is royalty. And the royalty of the indwelling

spirit is the release upon us of revelation. So now

in Yashiah we have this privilege of coming into the kitchen.

And the bread of heaven is revelation. The bread of

heaven is understanding. The bread of heaven results in faith.

Wherever there's revelation, there's faith. Faith is the energy of God.

Faith is the fuel of heaven. Faith is the access

of grace wherever we have because Jesus has commandments, but

you know what he says, about his commandments. Jesus says,

his commandments are not hard. Now, why would the Old

Testament commandments be hard? Why would the Old Testament commandments

be hard to perform? And the commandments of the Lord

would be easy because the absence of faith makes them hard.

This came to them as logos, This comes to us

as Ramaiah. The rama is the living word of God.

The rama is living bread and the privilege of you know,

it's like, not everything hits your appetite the right way

you ever you ever been promised one thing and you

got a different thing, And I know, not everything hits

our appetite. Like sometimes you're in the moon for Chinese

and then they walk in the door with Mexican. You're like,

I thought it was going to be eggfu Young, you're

bringing tacos. You know. Sometimes you're in the moon for right.

Sometimes sometimes your wife's got leftovers. Anybody ever have a

leftover in their home? You know what a leftover is,

And so you pull out all the leftovers, you put

them out on the counter and you're like kind of

like eyeh, and she's like which one, honey, And you're like, well,

not that one, right, So there's no rama on it.

There's no life on that one. That one's two weeks old.

I think it's growing fur, all right, Just shove that

one to one side, No thanks, loving right, So, and

and this is see, the Holy Spirit wants to kiss

the word over your heart. Not just the written word,

but he wants to kiss you with a living word

every day as you pause in the kitchen of intimacy.

Friendship attention intentional could be worse. I don't know what

kind of moves you into the kitchen. I know what

moves me into the kitchen, right, so I know time

spent and there's no real quality without quantity in human relationships,

quality will be highly lacking. If there's no quantity, it

takes quantity to find nuggets of quality. Do you think

it's different with God. It's no different with God. If

you if you don't invest time, but you expect great quality, right,

you might just get wonderbread. Yeah, a lot of a

lot of white air, puffy stuff, you know, right, so

the raccoons won't even eat that stuff. That's like that's

like heels. I don't know. So, but if you invest time,

then you're gonna get the better nutrition, right, Because quality

is somewhat governed by quantity. And it's not just him pressing,

you know, him relating back to us, but it's as

we press into him, you know, relationally, it's the same.

You know, I'm investing in my spouse some quantity, but

the quantity isn't always of high standards, because a thought comes,

and then a squirrel comes, and then and then I

remember something, and then and she's trying to tell me something,

and we're trying to talk through something, and then I

think I gotta grab my phone and take a note

on something, and she's like, do I still have your

attention to any Yeah, that'll just give me a second.

Something gain in my mind. Here it's a valid thing. Love,

it's a valid thing, you know. So even in spousal relationships,

part of what makes the quality really require some quantity

is because we're drawn away. I get drawn away when

I'm in the spiritual kitchen. I'm in the spiritual kitchen

and I'm drawing near to the Lord in worship, in

adoration and thanksgiving, and I want to invest in him,

knowing that he wants to invest in me. But I

got to position my heart to receive what he's going

to invest There's going to be word downloads, there's going

to be good downloads. But I need to position my heart.

And then and then my heart starts going sideways, and

I think of so I gotta get done today, and

then I owe my word. My taxes are due tomorrow,

and then oh my goodness, if I don't get that done,

and then, oh my word, I got to call the land,

so I got to kill. I keep notes with me, right,

and these are these are distraction life savers like I

will write down what's coming to my mind. Sometimes I'll

just open a live email and I won't send it

and I'll just start loading it up with today's stuff. Uh,

so that I don't Once I write it down, I'm

done with it. I don't have to go back to it.

Because I'm investing, because I'm here for quantity intentionally in

this kitchen where holy Spirit, where the presence of Father,

where the ministry of Jesus is here by my invitation,

because because I've paused in this place and we're calling

at the kitchen today, I've paused in this place to

hear from him because I don't want this. I don't

want it to be hard. I don't want rules without revelation.

I don't want blind obedience. I want the bread of Heaven.

I want the release of His revelation over my heart.

I want I want faith. Faith comes by what say

it again, Faith comes by hearing Romanstein seventeen. We could

go there, We've been there before Romanston seventeen. Faith comes

by hearing, but not just general hearing. Faith comes by hearing,

but hearing by the Word of Christ. The word. The

word therein in the passage is rama. So hearing the

scripture doesn't necessarily bring faith. The scripture or the Word,

or the promise or the whisper on your heart, the

leading of the spirit on your heart has to be

quickened by the Holy Spirit and made into a living rama.

So faith doesn't come just by hearing the word, like

the logos. Faith comes by the quickening of the spirit

on that word, making that word alive to your heart, irresistible, powerful,

grace filled, and it ignites faith immediately. It ignites faith.

Even if it's a hard thing. Go give pastor Dwyane

a million dollars. Even if it's a hard thing. I'm

just being silly. But even if it's a hard thing,

if it's God breathed. Then immediately you will sense the

ability for you to lean into it with your faith,

because grace is in the Word, and it's bringing the

potential of faith to your heart. Right And this is

this is how, this is how we're called to live.

We're called to actually live this way. We're not called

just to visit this faith is something we're actually called

to walk by faith. Now, walk by faith. That's an

illustration of every spend every day in faith, every endeavor

by faith. Right. So, faith is always correlated with the Word.

So if it's walked by faith, that really means walk

by the ram of word. If it's if it's lived

by faith, live every day by the rain of word.

So and and here's here's here's the rub is that

I think that it's moderately easy for us to come

into the Kingdom, be born again, born of the spirit,

sins forgiven, uh, baptize in water, have this experience, and

then live like an Old Testament person. Wow, I think

that's actually possible. It's actually possible that we find ourselves

living like an Old Testament person. Now, what I mean

by that is that once we've been in church for

a little while, we've been around religion a little while.

We've been in the Bible a little while. We've been

around Christians a little while, even even attuned to our

own consciousousness, because Roman chapter one says even the Gentiles,

not just the Jews, have the laws of God testifying

in their hearts. And so after we're in Christianity a

little while. If we're not careful, we're living out of

what we know to do, instead of living out of

today's living bread. We're living out of what we know

is a good person. What we know are good deeds,

what we know is decent character, what we know will

not cost us too much pain, what we know we

should do to our neighbor, what we know. We're living

out of what we've come to know, instead of living

out of the bread of heaven. And the bread of

heaven is intimate fellowship today. It's ignited by fellowship today.

That gives me the enablement, the power, the quickening of

the spirit to live by faith today, to walk by

faith today. You all what I'm saying. I think the

further you get, I think, the further you get away

from a devotional experience, the more you're tempted to not

go back to a devotional experience. Now me, I've got

kind of a prohibitive consciousness. So and I was raised

in this, you know, from birth, and so I'm afraid

to sin and so but then you know, if I sin,

or in this case, if I skirt the kitchen and

I figure out I can go around the house another way,

and then I can get upstairs another way. And there's

other ways to get around the house, and I can

get through the yard another way, and then I can

get to the garage another way. I don't even have

to go through the kitchen, if I know. The first

the first day that I do that, I'm like, I'm

looking for lightning bolts. I'm looking for lightning bolts. I'm

looking for like the floor to open up. I'm looking

for lightning bolts. I'm looking for chaos. I'm looking for

the rain cloud. I'm looking for a bad day. I'm

just looking right, And then it didn't happen, like wow, huh,

that's interesting. Day number two. Well, I don't have time

for the kitchen today either. No time for the kitchen,

no time for the kitchen. I think I'll just do

this my own strength. And so I found out, you know,

said number two. I'm just I'm skirting around the kitchen again.

Day number two, Day number two, no lightning bolts, and

I did pretty good. It did pretty good. I did

pretty good. Maybe a couple of sales did all right.

No lightning bolts, no lightning bolts. Floor didn't open up.

Seems okay, seems all right. Yeah, well maybe day number three,

Day number three. Skirt in the kitchen, don't check in

with the fridge, don't get into the bread pantry. Yeah,

uh huh, but no, I'm not, come on though, not

that bad. I said Hallelujah five times today. I said

praise the Lord. Somebody said, how that happened? I said,

God didn't so I acknowledged him. I acknowledged him. Don't

be judging me too bad. But I'm beginning to think

maybe this intimate stuff ain't it all that's cracked up

to me. I'm beginning to think maybe I don't need

it all that much. After all, I'm beginning to think

I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good. I didn't

even send that much. I didn't I didn't even send

that much. Uh huh. I'm pretty cool. Well, I mean,

I know what it takes to live a good life.

I know what it takes to I know what it

takes that you pay your bills. You know you give

honor where it's due. You act like a good person.

Come on, I got a little bit of law written

in my heart. It's okay. Five days in, six days

in seven days in I don't know if I need

to go back. Why do I need to go back

to that kitchen? Why don't we just blow it up?

Why do we need a kitchen in the house anyway? Now,

I'm living like an Old Testament person, but I'm claiming

to be royalty. I'm claiming to be a New Testament person,

but I'm living like an Old Testament person. This is

super common. I'm telling you, probably not in this church,

but this is super common with Christians who were just

checking into church, checking the church box. Got the church

box up here, We're going to check the church box.

But they are not. They are not spending time in

the kitchen of heaven. They're not spending time and fellowship

with God. They're not spending quality so that they get

the quantity of the deposit that brings faith, that brings revelation,

that brings grace, that brings strength that brings life. They're

not doing it, and the further you go without doing it,

the more you think you are indestructible. It's called deception.

You know, when you're deceived, you don't know you are.

That's true. That's why it's called deceived, because you you

don't know you're deceived when you're deceived. So Papa's just

calling us back. He's called He's called Papa, He's called

Papa Romans eight fourteen through seventeen. That this relationship he's

called us to, it's not one of slavery back under fear,

and it's one of sonship where we have been brought

near to father, and we call him Abbah, we call

him the term of endearment, we call him daddy. So

we're not afraid to go to the kitchen because it's

not about rules and regulations in the kitchen. It's about

the nourishment of what we need for this day's challenges,

what we need for this day's situation, what we need

for this day's opportunities, what we need for this day's vision,

what we need for this day's provision, what we need

for this day's insight, what we need for this day's needs.

This one over here, it's prohibition oriented. Do not touch,

do not taste, do not it's prohibition oriented. But this

one over here, it's life giving. This is life giving.

Why in the world are we avoiding the kitchen when

this is Papa preparing something for us in he's there

and he's preparing something for us. That is life giving. Hallelujah.

This one over here, the relationship is central. God and

didn't want robots. He never wanted legalistic robots. Relationship is central, relational.

It's central, central, central, central, central, over here, over here.

Let's go on. Let's go on. I'm gonna go to

John fifteen. We're gonna close with this, John fifteen, John fifteen,

let's start it. Verse seven. I used the I used

the New Americans standard, but I like I like the

King of James better. You know on this I'm old.

But it says if you remain in me. Oh, we

got the King James up. Look at that. Wow, they

heard me for service, God bless America. Uh, if you

abide in me and my words and my words. Now again,

this is interesting. There's only two words for word in

the Bible. There's only two. There's logos, and there's rama.

There's only two words for word, two words for word.

He was the word made flesh, the living word now

dwells in us. It says, if you abide in me

and my Rama abides in you, it's good. It doesn't

say if you know the laws. It doesn't say if

you know what was said. It doesn't. It doesn't say

if you know what was It doesn't say if you

know what you should do based on what God had said.

It doesn't say if you've got the whole Bible memorized church.

If you abide in me, dwell remain find your life.

If you abide in me and my words, my rama,

my living Word abides in you. Some of us in

this room have only had one rama in our entire lives,

and that was a salvation rama. Some of us in

this room have only had two ramas or three ramas.

Some of you could count on one hand how many

ramas you've had, because your intimacy has been so shallow.

Others of us in this room we know what it

is to abide in the Rama, the living Word over

our hearts, because we've pressed in and received and recognized

and taken a note, and we're actually governing our lives

according to the rama we've received. But we all have

the same exact privilege to have the living word of

God written on our hearts. And it comes in such

a way that when He speaks over you, right when

he speaks over you, you recognize it. And if you

recognize how powerful it is to have that, you begin

to yearn for that. Like there's no high like the

high of God releasing a word over your heart. There

is no dope like the dope of God releasing a

word of your heart. There is no wine like the

wine of God releasing a word of your heart. There

is nothing that takes I mean you know often when

it happens to me, I get goosebumps from head to toe. Right,

you know what I'm talking about. Anybody in this room

know what I'm talking about. So he says, if you

abide in me and my Raima, will you choose more

than a legalistic relationship with your father? Will you choose

more than dos and don'ts with your father? Will you

choose more than just leaning into what you once knew

to live a good do good as life today? Will

you choose to go to the kitchen in the spirit,

whatever that looks like in your world, and stay there

until you get rama, until you get word that you

can live on, Word that you can have vision with,

Word that will direct your steps, Word that will keep

you in that marriage when everything tells you to leave.

Word that will cause you to love your children. This

is why the Lord said, my commandments are not grievous.

My commandments are easy. They're easy because they're rama, and

rama has grace and faith built in it. If you

will do this, you can ask what you wish and

it will be done for you. See the impossible miracle

working prayer is on the other side of raymon. It's

not on the other side of logos. It's not on

the other side of your daily devotions. But daily devotions,

the quantity of daily devotions open up a quality opportunity

for Holy Spirit to quicken something to my heart. And

when it's quickened, I can ask, decree, require in the

spirit realm, and it'll be done. My Father is glorified

in this that you bear much fruit and so prove

to be my disciples. How do we prove? How is

it proven that we are his disciples? Not with our

good deeds. It's wonderful that I'm not coveting my neighbor's stuff.

It's wonderful that I'm not going to lie today or

steal today. But that's not how I prove to be

a disciple of a miracle working God. I prove to

be a disciple of a miracle working God because I

partner with Rama. And when I partner with Rama, things

begin to happen through my life that are bigger than

why I could do, and greater than what I deserve,

things that are unexplainable by my good works. That's how

we prove to be disciples. You bear much fruit and

prove to be my disciples. This is the Father loved me.

I also love you and remain in my love if

you keep my commandments. In the midst of the nutrition.

In the midst of the nutrition of the kitchen, there

are servings of broccoli, carrots. Oh not everything's a butterfinger.

There are servings of celery. There are other items. He

calls them commandments. When we keep his commandments, we show

him that we love him. You will remain in my love,

just as I have kept my father's commandments and remain

in his love. These things I've spoken to you, so

that my joy may be in you and that your

joy may be full. Let's stand even the joy, even

the joy. Let's say joy, even the joy that He

has in us and the joy you have in the

spirit is related to the raima. It's not related to

the logos. It's not related to that Bible you carry around.

It's related to the Bible alive in your heart. It's

related to the word he spoke over you. Can I

tell you something, Joel and I just celebrated forty t

years of marriage. No, no, not much credit to me,

No no, no. Listen listen. I am a hormone filled

young man at twenty four years old, hormone filled, high

testosterone man at twenty four who were named I asked

somebody your name. They told me your name. I went

home to my apartment in Bellevue. I opened up the annual,

and I'm going through the names freshman looking for Joel

Robertson when my finger hit her photo. Now listen, listen, listen.

I was extremely I was homely, but I was bold.

I had more dates than you can imagine. I dated

more girls than you can imagine from fifteen to twenty four,

and I wanted the right one, and I had made

lists of everything I wanted in a woman. Right when

my finger hit her picture, I heard the Holy Spirit say,

that's your wife. Nothing else mattered, literally, nothing else mattered.

That word still has life on it today. When God

gives you a rama, there's life on that rama. That

life will sustain you through every peril, every problem, every coldie,

if you will stay, if you will abide in the rama,

abide in the rama. That's why we celebrated forty two years.

That's why we got forty two more to go. Because

Papa was in it, and he chose the best for

me in the kitchen, not the best above every other woman,

the best for what I needed. She's not above every

ever the woman. She's what I needed because he knows

what we need, and everything he's serving us in the

kitchen is exactly what we need. It's what we need.

Hands up everywhere across the room, Holy Spirit, we repent

right now of avoiding the kitchen, skirting the kitchen, getting

around the house other ways, getting out to the garage,

and getting out into our big world without stopping in

that kitchen or Papa's there preparing nourishment where you show it. Jesus,

the Christ is there with directives and insight and understanding.

For Holy Spirit is there loosing revelation on our hearts

and over us. We repent of it. We're coming back

right now, right now, we're coming back. We're restarting that

in our lives. Holy Spirit. You show us what it

looks like. You show us how to fit it in,

how to make it happen. You show us what that

quantity looks like to get to that quality, Holy Spirit,

don't let us be deceived again, Holy Spirit. We don't

want the fruit that our strength brings forth and then

be satisfied with that. We want supernatural fruit. We want

miracle fruit. We want fruit that goes beyond the explanation

of our natural ability or strength. We want to abide

your love and remain in your love. We want to

be the source of your joy, Jesus, and we want

to be so exuding with joy because we've acted on

the rama. We pledge ourselves to this right now in

Jesus' name, and everybody shouted
