¶ Welcome to Wofo Yo Short
Hey everybody , welcome to another Wofo Yo Short where we teach you to get in the word for yourself . I'm C-Dub and the day that this audio is going to be airing is Good Friday , and so I was thinking we almost did something about Easter , about resurrection , with Bones and I for the full episode that's going to come out Tuesday and we end up going
¶ Jesus and Resurrection
another direction . But I wanted to talk to you all about resurrection and , yes , jesus is the Son of God , eternal Son of God . He is alive and well , he is resurrected and I don't want you to take what I'm getting ready to say is minimizing that in any manner whatsoever . Definitely not the intent .
But we celebrate his sacrifice for us , his sacrifice for us , and because he was willing to sacrifice that ultimate sacrifice , he was proclaimed righteous
¶ Learning from Death Experiences
and the Bible says resurrected and raised by the spirit of holiness . And I want you to think about some things .
Just on a personal note , I know this is getting the word for yourself and you can check what I'm saying by getting in the word for yourself , but as one who , if you've heard anything we've said over the years with Bones and I ones who thought we were going to be hot stuff ministers at one point in our life , 20 years ago , and then had to really stop and
develop that true relationship with the Lord over the years and have that wilderness experience . We might know a thing or two about what it looks like when something's dead . Like when something's dead and the very fact that we're able to get up and either do it on YouTube or do it through a podcast or however it's done .
If we are able to do this , given what we've gone through , which is nowhere near what the cross of Jesus Christ meant for the son of God . But if we're able to get through , we might know a little bit about resurrection .
Jesus Christ knows a lot , okay , but we know a little bit about thinking something is dead , thinking that maybe you missed it , thinking that maybe that thing that God told you he was going to do , going . Lord , I trust you , I love you , but I don't know how in the heck you're going to do that . We've been there
¶ Willing to Sacrifice
. So , as I look back on it and was thinking about this today , if you look at it , you had to be willing to sacrifice it . Jesus said no man takes my life from me . I lay it down freely . Because I lay it down freely , I am able to take it up again .
Okay , and so those promises from God , those promises of God concerning you , whatever they are , I would encourage you that if the Holy Spirit goes , hey , can I have that ? Be willing to yield it up . You ain't got to like it , lord knows .
I did it kicking and screaming to a degree , but Lord , you said well , a lot of times when I went , lord you said , wasn't about God's integrity as much as it was my ego . Because all those things he said about me , man , they were good , they were validation , they were the exact same thing that man I've been praying for and wanted .
Other people didn't know it , but man , they'd come along . The Lord says this , the Lord says that . And it puffed up my ego and eventually got to the point to where I was willing to sacrifice . Lord , I don't care , I love you , you're enough . I don't care about the ego , I don't care about the prestige .
I don't care about if people say he's a really good preacher . He's not , whatever . It got to the point that if you're willing to just be obedient and lay everything else down , lay down the accolades , lay down the titles , lay down all the ministerial BS , lay down all the thorns that are choking out the word , living through you .
There are cares of this world . If you're willing to lay those things down , you will see a resurrection period
