Speaker 1: Father, We thank you for your word. Today, we thank
Speaker 1: you that you're feeding us with mana from heaven. You
Speaker 1: ever had you ever had syrup on your manna? I
Speaker 1: think that's what happened at the New Horizon. We get
Speaker 1: syrup on our manna. Oh yeah, syrup on the mana.
Speaker 1: Thank you for it, Jesus name. Everybody said, you know
Speaker 1: what mana is. You know what mana is. Mana is
Speaker 1: what God fed the children of Israel with for forty
Speaker 1: years when they were wandering through the wilderness. He sustained
Speaker 1: them with mana. But it was a picture of his word.
Speaker 1: He sustained them with his word as they were going
Speaker 1: through the wilderness, and every day they would go out
Speaker 1: and gather some mana. Right, So bread is important, yes?
Speaker 1: How many of you think bread is important? Bread is
Speaker 1: metaphoric to old food. How many of you eat in
Speaker 1: the building, anybody eat in this building? How many of
Speaker 1: you think food is important? All? Right? Those that didn't
Speaker 1: raise your hand, no lunch for you. Bread is important, right?
Speaker 1: And so God sustains us with bread. Yes, so we
Speaker 1: had a We had a visitor at the wolf house
Speaker 1: last night. I don't know if I should tell this
Speaker 1: story or not. I'm not sure if I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: in trouble or not pastor results not listening. But last night,
Speaker 1: yours truly was very exhausted, probably after whipping up on
Speaker 1: everybody in cornhole and uh, what's that air again? Pick
Speaker 1: a ball? I don't even know what it is. But
Speaker 1: after such great victories, I got home and I was
Speaker 1: a little exhausted, and so I like, I collapsed. All
Speaker 1: my stuffing fell out, and so i'm you know, I
Speaker 1: went to bed early, and so I'm and I'm wiped out.
Speaker 1: And so I said the passageholes sent honey, did you
Speaker 1: close the and it's three stories down? I said, honey,
Speaker 1: did you close the dining room door? Oh? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Was it open? Yeah, it was open. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Well, you probably should close that. Oh
Speaker 1: all right, all right, anyway, so this morning, this morning,
Speaker 1: we get up and she proceeds to the kitchen earlier
Speaker 1: than me. Now, kitchen, the kitchen is where you find
Speaker 1: the bread of life. The kitchen is where you find nourishment.
Speaker 1: The kitchen is where you eat. The kitchen is where
Speaker 1: everything is available to you. Should you should you intentionally
Speaker 1: do something about her? Right? And so she goes down
Speaker 1: to the kitchen sooner than me, and then I hear them,
Speaker 1: and I had this funny feeling last night. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Last night, at the table at the house parting, for
Speaker 1: some odd reason, people brought up raccoons. Chris, you were there,
Speaker 1: Joe Simms is at that table, Jim was at that table,
Speaker 1: and somebody else. Anyway, somebody brought up raccoons, and so
Speaker 1: I had this funny feeling last night though our raccoon
Speaker 1: was gonna come in the house. Now. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was the table discussion or what it was,
Speaker 1: but I get this hollered from Joel Honey come up quickly.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh boy, so something came in the house
Speaker 1: last night. We don't know what it was. Something came
Speaker 1: in the house last night. It pulled the Dave Killer's
Speaker 1: bread off the countertop and had eaten a bunch of it,
Speaker 1: and then it left kind of like a lot of us,
Speaker 1: It left a couple of heels sitting there, uneaten. Even
Speaker 1: the raccoons don't like the heels. What's with that? That
Speaker 1: proves right there that the heels, Oh that's not the
Speaker 1: best right there anyway. But the raccoon knew where to go,
Speaker 1: It knew to come to the kitchen. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's the raccoon. It might, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was it. But the tooth marks, all right, the
Speaker 1: tooth because there were bites out of the bread. They
Speaker 1: didn't look like mouse bites. They were fairly large. Would
Speaker 1: you rather have a raccoon in your house or a
Speaker 1: mouse or a rat? Raccoon, I think a raccoon, and
Speaker 1: then you know that it's not there, right, It's like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's gone, but a rat, a rat could
Speaker 1: be hiding. Right. So anyway, we had a crazy visord
Speaker 1: last night. So but I think it fits because what
Speaker 1: the Lord's calling us to do is to get into
Speaker 1: the kitchen. The Lord's calling us to uh to intentionally
Speaker 1: devour the bread of heaven. And this is you know,
Speaker 1: this is the beautiful part of the privilege of royalty
Speaker 1: is that we get the bread of heaven. We get
Speaker 1: the bread of heaven. Right, So Matthew four, men shall
Speaker 1: not live by but by every word that proceeds from
Speaker 1: the mouth of God. Now God is not done talking.
Speaker 1: God didn't when the cannon was sealed, when the canon
Speaker 1: was closed. God wasn't done talking. He created women. No, no,
Speaker 1: work with me, work with me, work with me. Women
Speaker 1: have twenty five thousand words a day. Men five gabby men,
Speaker 1: Gabby men, Jayson gabby men maybe have five to ten thousand.
Speaker 1: I don't know any gabby men in the building. Italian men.
Speaker 1: Have you been to Italy? My word? They're like women.
Speaker 1: Shut up already, any Italians in the building. Frank went
Speaker 1: home already? Okay, so Frank Frank, you know, not Frank
Speaker 1: caster home. But huh Frank Vittali. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is he like that? I don't know. Is he talkative? No,
Speaker 1: he's not like that. Raised in America, ruins everybody. So
Speaker 1: manahall not live by bread alone, but by every word.
Speaker 1: God has so many words over us. He's not short
Speaker 1: on words. And the cannon was was sealed, but God's
Speaker 1: mouth was not. And God dispenses the bread of heaven.
Speaker 1: But we, you know, we have to stop. We have
Speaker 1: to we have to be intentional. The kitchen doesn't chase me,
Speaker 1: the supplies of the kitchen doesn't chase me. Uh, I
Speaker 1: have to stop. I have to take time. I have
Speaker 1: to be intentional. I literally have to pause the kitchen
Speaker 1: and is this beautiful place in my home with purpose.
Speaker 1: The kitchen has purpose, and it's there that I find
Speaker 1: nourishment and sustenance. And there's other rooms that are beautiful
Speaker 1: to hang out in. There's other rooms where there's entertainment.
Speaker 1: There's other rooms where there's activities. There's other rooms where
Speaker 1: there's rest, there's other rooms where there are chores. But
Speaker 1: the kitchen is very intentional. It's the kitchen where I
Speaker 1: find nourishment. If I turn my attention to it. I
Speaker 1: can have a kitchen loaded with goodies, right, loaded with
Speaker 1: breads and spreads and goodies. But it does not force
Speaker 1: itself into my digestive system. It's waiting for me to
Speaker 1: interact with it and to initiate and to actually lean
Speaker 1: into right and to actually work my energy in that
Speaker 1: kitchen right so that the nourishment available will then get
Speaker 1: into the palate or over the palate, Is the palate
Speaker 1: is into or over? You don't know? All right, it's over,
Speaker 1: it's over over the palate, down the gullet. Is it
Speaker 1: in the gullet? You don't know. You're not familiar with
Speaker 1: these goofy words. Down the hatch, down the down the hatch.
Speaker 1: There has to be an interaction. And this is uh,
Speaker 1: you know, this is religion. Religion was religion is and
Speaker 1: was blind obedience. Wow, religion was blind obedience religion still today,
Speaker 1: as we think about religion, it's it's rules without revelation.
Speaker 1: Are you with me? Rules without revelation? If here's what
Speaker 1: I think, I think, wherever you're struggling with God's rules,
Speaker 1: it's because it's only because you're lacking revelation. Wherever I'm
Speaker 1: struggling with God's rules, I'm simply lacking revelation. Royalty, the
Speaker 1: royalty of the indwelling spirit. Here's the indwelling spirit, right,
Speaker 1: and this is royalty. And the royalty of the indwelling
Speaker 1: spirit is the release upon us of revelation. So now
Speaker 1: in Yashiah we have this privilege of coming into the kitchen.
Speaker 1: And the bread of heaven is revelation. The bread of
Speaker 1: heaven is understanding. The bread of heaven results in faith.
Speaker 1: Wherever there's revelation, there's faith. Faith is the energy of God.
Speaker 1: Faith is the fuel of heaven. Faith is the access
Speaker 1: of grace wherever we have because Jesus has commandments, but
Speaker 1: you know what he says, about his commandments. Jesus says,
Speaker 1: his commandments are not hard. Now, why would the Old
Speaker 1: Testament commandments be hard? Why would the Old Testament commandments
Speaker 1: be hard to perform? And the commandments of the Lord
Speaker 1: would be easy because the absence of faith makes them hard.
Speaker 1: This came to them as logos, This comes to us
Speaker 1: as Ramaiah. The rama is the living word of God.
Speaker 1: The rama is living bread and the privilege of you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, not everything hits your appetite the right way
Speaker 1: you ever you ever been promised one thing and you
Speaker 1: got a different thing, And I know, not everything hits
Speaker 1: our appetite. Like sometimes you're in the moon for Chinese
Speaker 1: and then they walk in the door with Mexican. You're like,
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be eggfu Young, you're
Speaker 1: bringing tacos. You know. Sometimes you're in the moon for right.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes your wife's got leftovers. Anybody ever have a
Speaker 1: leftover in their home? You know what a leftover is,
Speaker 1: And so you pull out all the leftovers, you put
Speaker 1: them out on the counter and you're like kind of
Speaker 1: like eyeh, and she's like which one, honey, And you're like, well,
Speaker 1: not that one, right, So there's no rama on it.
Speaker 1: There's no life on that one. That one's two weeks old.
Speaker 1: I think it's growing fur, all right, Just shove that
Speaker 1: one to one side, No thanks, loving right, So, and
Speaker 1: and this is see, the Holy Spirit wants to kiss
Speaker 1: the word over your heart. Not just the written word,
Speaker 1: but he wants to kiss you with a living word
Speaker 1: every day as you pause in the kitchen of intimacy.
Speaker 1: Friendship attention intentional could be worse. I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of moves you into the kitchen. I know what
Speaker 1: moves me into the kitchen, right, so I know time
Speaker 1: spent and there's no real quality without quantity in human relationships,
Speaker 1: quality will be highly lacking. If there's no quantity, it
Speaker 1: takes quantity to find nuggets of quality. Do you think
Speaker 1: it's different with God. It's no different with God. If
Speaker 1: you if you don't invest time, but you expect great quality, right,
Speaker 1: you might just get wonderbread. Yeah, a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of white air, puffy stuff, you know, right, so
Speaker 1: the raccoons won't even eat that stuff. That's like that's
Speaker 1: like heels. I don't know. So, but if you invest time,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get the better nutrition, right, Because quality
Speaker 1: is somewhat governed by quantity. And it's not just him pressing,
Speaker 1: you know, him relating back to us, but it's as
Speaker 1: we press into him, you know, relationally, it's the same.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm investing in my spouse some quantity, but
Speaker 1: the quantity isn't always of high standards, because a thought comes,
Speaker 1: and then a squirrel comes, and then and then I
Speaker 1: remember something, and then and she's trying to tell me something,
Speaker 1: and we're trying to talk through something, and then I
Speaker 1: think I gotta grab my phone and take a note
Speaker 1: on something, and she's like, do I still have your
Speaker 1: attention to any Yeah, that'll just give me a second.
Speaker 1: Something gain in my mind. Here it's a valid thing. Love,
Speaker 1: it's a valid thing, you know. So even in spousal relationships,
Speaker 1: part of what makes the quality really require some quantity
Speaker 1: is because we're drawn away. I get drawn away when
Speaker 1: I'm in the spiritual kitchen. I'm in the spiritual kitchen
Speaker 1: and I'm drawing near to the Lord in worship, in
Speaker 1: adoration and thanksgiving, and I want to invest in him,
Speaker 1: knowing that he wants to invest in me. But I
Speaker 1: got to position my heart to receive what he's going
Speaker 1: to invest There's going to be word downloads, there's going
Speaker 1: to be good downloads. But I need to position my heart.
Speaker 1: And then and then my heart starts going sideways, and
Speaker 1: I think of so I gotta get done today, and
Speaker 1: then I owe my word. My taxes are due tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and then oh my goodness, if I don't get that done,
Speaker 1: and then, oh my word, I got to call the land,
Speaker 1: so I got to kill. I keep notes with me, right,
Speaker 1: and these are these are distraction life savers like I
Speaker 1: will write down what's coming to my mind. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 1: just open a live email and I won't send it
Speaker 1: and I'll just start loading it up with today's stuff. Uh,
Speaker 1: so that I don't Once I write it down, I'm
Speaker 1: done with it. I don't have to go back to it.
Speaker 1: Because I'm investing, because I'm here for quantity intentionally in
Speaker 1: this kitchen where holy Spirit, where the presence of Father,
Speaker 1: where the ministry of Jesus is here by my invitation,
Speaker 1: because because I've paused in this place and we're calling
Speaker 1: at the kitchen today, I've paused in this place to
Speaker 1: hear from him because I don't want this. I don't
Speaker 1: want it to be hard. I don't want rules without revelation.
Speaker 1: I don't want blind obedience. I want the bread of Heaven.
Speaker 1: I want the release of His revelation over my heart.
Speaker 1: I want I want faith. Faith comes by what say
Speaker 1: it again, Faith comes by hearing Romanstein seventeen. We could
Speaker 1: go there, We've been there before Romanston seventeen. Faith comes
Speaker 1: by hearing, but not just general hearing. Faith comes by hearing,
Speaker 1: but hearing by the Word of Christ. The word. The
Speaker 1: word therein in the passage is rama. So hearing the
Speaker 1: scripture doesn't necessarily bring faith. The scripture or the Word,
Speaker 1: or the promise or the whisper on your heart, the
Speaker 1: leading of the spirit on your heart has to be
Speaker 1: quickened by the Holy Spirit and made into a living rama.
Speaker 1: So faith doesn't come just by hearing the word, like
Speaker 1: the logos. Faith comes by the quickening of the spirit
Speaker 1: on that word, making that word alive to your heart, irresistible, powerful,
Speaker 1: grace filled, and it ignites faith immediately. It ignites faith.
Speaker 1: Even if it's a hard thing. Go give pastor Dwyane
Speaker 1: a million dollars. Even if it's a hard thing. I'm
Speaker 1: just being silly. But even if it's a hard thing,
Speaker 1: if it's God breathed. Then immediately you will sense the
Speaker 1: ability for you to lean into it with your faith,
Speaker 1: because grace is in the Word, and it's bringing the
Speaker 1: potential of faith to your heart. Right And this is
Speaker 1: this is how, this is how we're called to live.
Speaker 1: We're called to actually live this way. We're not called
Speaker 1: just to visit this faith is something we're actually called
Speaker 1: to walk by faith. Now, walk by faith. That's an
Speaker 1: illustration of every spend every day in faith, every endeavor
Speaker 1: by faith. Right. So, faith is always correlated with the Word.
Speaker 1: So if it's walked by faith, that really means walk
Speaker 1: by the ram of word. If it's if it's lived
Speaker 1: by faith, live every day by the rain of word.
Speaker 1: So and and here's here's here's the rub is that
Speaker 1: I think that it's moderately easy for us to come
Speaker 1: into the Kingdom, be born again, born of the spirit,
Speaker 1: sins forgiven, uh, baptize in water, have this experience, and
Speaker 1: then live like an Old Testament person. Wow, I think
Speaker 1: that's actually possible. It's actually possible that we find ourselves
Speaker 1: living like an Old Testament person. Now, what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is that once we've been in church for
Speaker 1: a little while, we've been around religion a little while.
Speaker 1: We've been in the Bible a little while. We've been
Speaker 1: around Christians a little while, even even attuned to our
Speaker 1: own consciousousness, because Roman chapter one says even the Gentiles,
Speaker 1: not just the Jews, have the laws of God testifying
Speaker 1: in their hearts. And so after we're in Christianity a
Speaker 1: little while. If we're not careful, we're living out of
Speaker 1: what we know to do, instead of living out of
Speaker 1: today's living bread. We're living out of what we know
Speaker 1: is a good person. What we know are good deeds,
Speaker 1: what we know is decent character, what we know will
Speaker 1: not cost us too much pain, what we know we
Speaker 1: should do to our neighbor, what we know. We're living
Speaker 1: out of what we've come to know, instead of living
Speaker 1: out of the bread of heaven. And the bread of
Speaker 1: heaven is intimate fellowship today. It's ignited by fellowship today.
Speaker 1: That gives me the enablement, the power, the quickening of
Speaker 1: the spirit to live by faith today, to walk by
Speaker 1: faith today. You all what I'm saying. I think the
Speaker 1: further you get, I think, the further you get away
Speaker 1: from a devotional experience, the more you're tempted to not
Speaker 1: go back to a devotional experience. Now me, I've got
Speaker 1: kind of a prohibitive consciousness. So and I was raised
Speaker 1: in this, you know, from birth, and so I'm afraid
Speaker 1: to sin and so but then you know, if I sin,
Speaker 1: or in this case, if I skirt the kitchen and
Speaker 1: I figure out I can go around the house another way,
Speaker 1: and then I can get upstairs another way. And there's
Speaker 1: other ways to get around the house, and I can
Speaker 1: get through the yard another way, and then I can
Speaker 1: get to the garage another way. I don't even have
Speaker 1: to go through the kitchen, if I know. The first
Speaker 1: the first day that I do that, I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: looking for lightning bolts. I'm looking for lightning bolts. I'm
Speaker 1: looking for like the floor to open up. I'm looking
Speaker 1: for lightning bolts. I'm looking for chaos. I'm looking for
Speaker 1: the rain cloud. I'm looking for a bad day. I'm
Speaker 1: just looking right, And then it didn't happen, like wow, huh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Day number two. Well, I don't have time
Speaker 1: for the kitchen today either. No time for the kitchen,
Speaker 1: no time for the kitchen. I think I'll just do
Speaker 1: this my own strength. And so I found out, you know,
Speaker 1: said number two. I'm just I'm skirting around the kitchen again.
Speaker 1: Day number two, Day number two, no lightning bolts, and
Speaker 1: I did pretty good. It did pretty good. I did
Speaker 1: pretty good. Maybe a couple of sales did all right.
Speaker 1: No lightning bolts, no lightning bolts. Floor didn't open up.
Speaker 1: Seems okay, seems all right. Yeah, well maybe day number three,
Speaker 1: Day number three. Skirt in the kitchen, don't check in
Speaker 1: with the fridge, don't get into the bread pantry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: uh huh, but no, I'm not, come on though, not
Speaker 1: that bad. I said Hallelujah five times today. I said
Speaker 1: praise the Lord. Somebody said, how that happened? I said,
Speaker 1: God didn't so I acknowledged him. I acknowledged him. Don't
Speaker 1: be judging me too bad. But I'm beginning to think
Speaker 1: maybe this intimate stuff ain't it all that's cracked up
Speaker 1: to me. I'm beginning to think maybe I don't need
Speaker 1: it all that much. After all, I'm beginning to think
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good. I didn't
Speaker 1: even send that much. I didn't I didn't even send
Speaker 1: that much. Uh huh. I'm pretty cool. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know what it takes to live a good life.
Speaker 1: I know what it takes to I know what it
Speaker 1: takes that you pay your bills. You know you give
Speaker 1: honor where it's due. You act like a good person.
Speaker 1: Come on, I got a little bit of law written
Speaker 1: in my heart. It's okay. Five days in, six days
Speaker 1: in seven days in I don't know if I need
Speaker 1: to go back. Why do I need to go back
Speaker 1: to that kitchen? Why don't we just blow it up?
Speaker 1: Why do we need a kitchen in the house anyway? Now,
Speaker 1: I'm living like an Old Testament person, but I'm claiming
Speaker 1: to be royalty. I'm claiming to be a New Testament person,
Speaker 1: but I'm living like an Old Testament person. This is
Speaker 1: super common. I'm telling you, probably not in this church,
Speaker 1: but this is super common with Christians who were just
Speaker 1: checking into church, checking the church box. Got the church
Speaker 1: box up here, We're going to check the church box.
Speaker 1: But they are not. They are not spending time in
Speaker 1: the kitchen of heaven. They're not spending time and fellowship
Speaker 1: with God. They're not spending quality so that they get
Speaker 1: the quantity of the deposit that brings faith, that brings revelation,
Speaker 1: that brings grace, that brings strength that brings life. They're
Speaker 1: not doing it, and the further you go without doing it,
Speaker 1: the more you think you are indestructible. It's called deception.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're deceived, you don't know you are.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's why it's called deceived, because you you
Speaker 1: don't know you're deceived when you're deceived. So Papa's just
Speaker 1: calling us back. He's called He's called Papa, He's called
Speaker 1: Papa Romans eight fourteen through seventeen. That this relationship he's
Speaker 1: called us to, it's not one of slavery back under fear,
Speaker 1: and it's one of sonship where we have been brought
Speaker 1: near to father, and we call him Abbah, we call
Speaker 1: him the term of endearment, we call him daddy. So
Speaker 1: we're not afraid to go to the kitchen because it's
Speaker 1: not about rules and regulations in the kitchen. It's about
Speaker 1: the nourishment of what we need for this day's challenges,
Speaker 1: what we need for this day's situation, what we need
Speaker 1: for this day's opportunities, what we need for this day's vision,
Speaker 1: what we need for this day's provision, what we need
Speaker 1: for this day's insight, what we need for this day's needs.
Speaker 1: This one over here, it's prohibition oriented. Do not touch,
Speaker 1: do not taste, do not it's prohibition oriented. But this
Speaker 1: one over here, it's life giving. This is life giving.
Speaker 1: Why in the world are we avoiding the kitchen when
Speaker 1: this is Papa preparing something for us in he's there
Speaker 1: and he's preparing something for us. That is life giving. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: This one over here, the relationship is central. God and
Speaker 1: didn't want robots. He never wanted legalistic robots. Relationship is central, relational.
Speaker 1: It's central, central, central, central, central, over here, over here.
Speaker 1: Let's go on. Let's go on. I'm gonna go to
Speaker 1: John fifteen. We're gonna close with this, John fifteen, John fifteen,
Speaker 1: let's start it. Verse seven. I used the I used
Speaker 1: the New Americans standard, but I like I like the
Speaker 1: King of James better. You know on this I'm old.
Speaker 1: But it says if you remain in me. Oh, we
Speaker 1: got the King James up. Look at that. Wow, they
Speaker 1: heard me for service, God bless America. Uh, if you
Speaker 1: abide in me and my words and my words. Now again,
Speaker 1: this is interesting. There's only two words for word in
Speaker 1: the Bible. There's only two. There's logos, and there's rama.
Speaker 1: There's only two words for word, two words for word.
Speaker 1: He was the word made flesh, the living word now
Speaker 1: dwells in us. It says, if you abide in me
Speaker 1: and my Rama abides in you, it's good. It doesn't
Speaker 1: say if you know the laws. It doesn't say if
Speaker 1: you know what was said. It doesn't. It doesn't say
Speaker 1: if you know what was It doesn't say if you
Speaker 1: know what you should do based on what God had said.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say if you've got the whole Bible memorized church.
Speaker 1: If you abide in me, dwell remain find your life.
Speaker 1: If you abide in me and my words, my rama,
Speaker 1: my living Word abides in you. Some of us in
Speaker 1: this room have only had one rama in our entire lives,
Speaker 1: and that was a salvation rama. Some of us in
Speaker 1: this room have only had two ramas or three ramas.
Speaker 1: Some of you could count on one hand how many
Speaker 1: ramas you've had, because your intimacy has been so shallow.
Speaker 1: Others of us in this room we know what it
Speaker 1: is to abide in the Rama, the living Word over
Speaker 1: our hearts, because we've pressed in and received and recognized
Speaker 1: and taken a note, and we're actually governing our lives
Speaker 1: according to the rama we've received. But we all have
Speaker 1: the same exact privilege to have the living word of
Speaker 1: God written on our hearts. And it comes in such
Speaker 1: a way that when He speaks over you, right when
Speaker 1: he speaks over you, you recognize it. And if you
Speaker 1: recognize how powerful it is to have that, you begin
Speaker 1: to yearn for that. Like there's no high like the
Speaker 1: high of God releasing a word over your heart. There
Speaker 1: is no dope like the dope of God releasing a
Speaker 1: word of your heart. There is no wine like the
Speaker 1: wine of God releasing a word of your heart. There
Speaker 1: is nothing that takes I mean you know often when
Speaker 1: it happens to me, I get goosebumps from head to toe. Right,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Anybody in this room
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. So he says, if you
Speaker 1: abide in me and my Raima, will you choose more
Speaker 1: than a legalistic relationship with your father? Will you choose
Speaker 1: more than dos and don'ts with your father? Will you
Speaker 1: choose more than just leaning into what you once knew
Speaker 1: to live a good do good as life today? Will
Speaker 1: you choose to go to the kitchen in the spirit,
Speaker 1: whatever that looks like in your world, and stay there
Speaker 1: until you get rama, until you get word that you
Speaker 1: can live on, Word that you can have vision with,
Speaker 1: Word that will direct your steps, Word that will keep
Speaker 1: you in that marriage when everything tells you to leave.
Speaker 1: Word that will cause you to love your children. This
Speaker 1: is why the Lord said, my commandments are not grievous.
Speaker 1: My commandments are easy. They're easy because they're rama, and
Speaker 1: rama has grace and faith built in it. If you
Speaker 1: will do this, you can ask what you wish and
Speaker 1: it will be done for you. See the impossible miracle
Speaker 1: working prayer is on the other side of raymon. It's
Speaker 1: not on the other side of logos. It's not on
Speaker 1: the other side of your daily devotions. But daily devotions,
Speaker 1: the quantity of daily devotions open up a quality opportunity
Speaker 1: for Holy Spirit to quicken something to my heart. And
Speaker 1: when it's quickened, I can ask, decree, require in the
Speaker 1: spirit realm, and it'll be done. My Father is glorified
Speaker 1: in this that you bear much fruit and so prove
Speaker 1: to be my disciples. How do we prove? How is
Speaker 1: it proven that we are his disciples? Not with our
Speaker 1: good deeds. It's wonderful that I'm not coveting my neighbor's stuff.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful that I'm not going to lie today or
Speaker 1: steal today. But that's not how I prove to be
Speaker 1: a disciple of a miracle working God. I prove to
Speaker 1: be a disciple of a miracle working God because I
Speaker 1: partner with Rama. And when I partner with Rama, things
Speaker 1: begin to happen through my life that are bigger than
Speaker 1: why I could do, and greater than what I deserve,
Speaker 1: things that are unexplainable by my good works. That's how
Speaker 1: we prove to be disciples. You bear much fruit and
Speaker 1: prove to be my disciples. This is the Father loved me.
Speaker 1: I also love you and remain in my love if
Speaker 1: you keep my commandments. In the midst of the nutrition.
Speaker 1: In the midst of the nutrition of the kitchen, there
Speaker 1: are servings of broccoli, carrots. Oh not everything's a butterfinger.
Speaker 1: There are servings of celery. There are other items. He
Speaker 1: calls them commandments. When we keep his commandments, we show
Speaker 1: him that we love him. You will remain in my love,
Speaker 1: just as I have kept my father's commandments and remain
Speaker 1: in his love. These things I've spoken to you, so
Speaker 1: that my joy may be in you and that your
Speaker 1: joy may be full. Let's stand even the joy, even
Speaker 1: the joy. Let's say joy, even the joy that He
Speaker 1: has in us and the joy you have in the
Speaker 1: spirit is related to the raima. It's not related to
Speaker 1: the logos. It's not related to that Bible you carry around.
Speaker 1: It's related to the Bible alive in your heart. It's
Speaker 1: related to the word he spoke over you. Can I
Speaker 1: tell you something, Joel and I just celebrated forty t
Speaker 1: years of marriage. No, no, not much credit to me,
Speaker 1: No no, no. Listen listen. I am a hormone filled
Speaker 1: young man at twenty four years old, hormone filled, high
Speaker 1: testosterone man at twenty four who were named I asked
Speaker 1: somebody your name. They told me your name. I went
Speaker 1: home to my apartment in Bellevue. I opened up the annual,
Speaker 1: and I'm going through the names freshman looking for Joel
Speaker 1: Robertson when my finger hit her photo. Now listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 1: I was extremely I was homely, but I was bold.
Speaker 1: I had more dates than you can imagine. I dated
Speaker 1: more girls than you can imagine from fifteen to twenty four,
Speaker 1: and I wanted the right one, and I had made
Speaker 1: lists of everything I wanted in a woman. Right when
Speaker 1: my finger hit her picture, I heard the Holy Spirit say,
Speaker 1: that's your wife. Nothing else mattered, literally, nothing else mattered.
Speaker 1: That word still has life on it today. When God
Speaker 1: gives you a rama, there's life on that rama. That
Speaker 1: life will sustain you through every peril, every problem, every coldie,
Speaker 1: if you will stay, if you will abide in the rama,
Speaker 1: abide in the rama. That's why we celebrated forty two years.
Speaker 1: That's why we got forty two more to go. Because
Speaker 1: Papa was in it, and he chose the best for
Speaker 1: me in the kitchen, not the best above every other woman,
Speaker 1: the best for what I needed. She's not above every
Speaker 1: ever the woman. She's what I needed because he knows
Speaker 1: what we need, and everything he's serving us in the
Speaker 1: kitchen is exactly what we need. It's what we need.
Speaker 1: Hands up everywhere across the room, Holy Spirit, we repent
Speaker 1: right now of avoiding the kitchen, skirting the kitchen, getting
Speaker 1: around the house other ways, getting out to the garage,
Speaker 1: and getting out into our big world without stopping in
Speaker 1: that kitchen or Papa's there preparing nourishment where you show it. Jesus,
Speaker 1: the Christ is there with directives and insight and understanding.
Speaker 1: For Holy Spirit is there loosing revelation on our hearts
Speaker 1: and over us. We repent of it. We're coming back
Speaker 1: right now, right now, we're coming back. We're restarting that
Speaker 1: in our lives. Holy Spirit. You show us what it
Speaker 1: looks like. You show us how to fit it in,
Speaker 1: how to make it happen. You show us what that
Speaker 1: quantity looks like to get to that quality, Holy Spirit,
Speaker 1: don't let us be deceived again, Holy Spirit. We don't
Speaker 1: want the fruit that our strength brings forth and then
Speaker 1: be satisfied with that. We want supernatural fruit. We want
Speaker 1: miracle fruit. We want fruit that goes beyond the explanation
Speaker 1: of our natural ability or strength. We want to abide
Speaker 1: your love and remain in your love. We want to
Speaker 1: be the source of your joy, Jesus, and we want
Speaker 1: to be so exuding with joy because we've acted on
Speaker 1: the rama. We pledge ourselves to this right now in
Speaker 1: Jesus' name, and everybody shouted
