WOFOYO SHORT: Who Are You Really Pleasing: God or Man?

And you know there's no greater evidence of a personal relationship with Jesus than doing exactly what your pastor says . When he says to do it , mr Rowe , skew me a dollar and bring me my tea . That's what I'm talking about . He says jump you say how high .

While them heretics over at WoeFoYo are saying that you can know the Lord for yourself and hear his voice . That ain't decently and in order . How you gonna control that ? Well , right after Christ ordained the church , he set up a man in charge to manage your faith and if you don't do what he say , well , you're in rebellion .

If he's in authority , you're to carry out his orders , no matter what rule he break , no matter if you think he fake , no matter who wife he take . So's the estate , for goodness sake .

And since we know you don't want to be out of submission , we here at Hoodwink Ministries are offering you a bonafide , legitimate dipped in miracle water from the River Jordan , certificate of submission for a love offering of $77 plus shipping and handling .

Remember , friends , this is Reverend Show Bob Hobob asking you why would you want to know the Lord for yourself when we can know him for you ? Hey everybody , this is C-Dub

. Welcome to another Wofoyo Short , and I've been seeing some things out there , so let's address it . Jesus talked about serving two masters . He said you can't have two masters . You're going to serve one and neglect the other . You're going to love one and neglect the other . You're going to love one and hate the other .

He also talked about you can't serve God and mammon . But also , there comes a time in your walk that people aren't going to understand and you're just going to have to make a decision if you're going to follow man and man's doctrine or if you're going to follow the word .

If you're going to make a decision if you're going to follow man and man's doctrine or if you're going to follow the word , if you're going to follow God , if you're going to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit , to glorify Christ Jesus in you . Galatians 5 , 1 through 3 . This is the new king .

Stand fast , therefore , in the liberty by which Christ has made us free . Do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage . This is the new king , so he's talking about the law and he's talking about circumcision , but that right there also applies to our church protocols .

And there is a spirit of control that I see raising its ugly head again and again , and it turns us into men pleasers rather than those that are serving God .

Get alone , go out into the wilderness , have your experience , develop that relationship with Christ , and then you don't have to worry about ego , then you don't have to worry about if you win a submission to Reverend Showbob , hobob and all that mess .

Because and there was a guy I used to go to church with over in just north of Marion , illinois , a little town called White Ash . Dude's name was Dave Gardner , ran the food pantry One heck of a guy , and everybody was big .

In this church you need to submit to your pastor , you need to submit to your leadership , you need to do this , you need to do that . And this spirit of control crept in that place big time . Out of all the people that got caught up in it , I was one for a minute before the Lord straightened me out drastically .

Dave was unaffected because Dave said the pastor didn't call me to go here't call me to go here . God called me to go here and when God tells me to leave , that's when I leave . God bless , dave

Gardner . But we get so caught up in the . Did I offend this person ? Was I out of submission ? We keep putting the cart before the horse and if you belong to a place where there's a spirit of control , they're just blowing a lot of smoke up your ass to keep you in check , especially if you are called and if you are anointed .

And the thing that a lot of people are never going to understand . And you know , god bless those that are in ministry positions , especially those that are being faithful . But that whole system is designed to make cookie cutters out of everybody . It's the same protocol and it's not even necessarily designed to make good Christians .

It's designed to make obedient church members . Oh , if you're going to be on staff , well then , you really got to fall into line . You know , christ set me free from the curse of the law . It's the law of sin and death , but it was also a law of regulations . Hey , if you sin , do this . You got to do this sacrifice . If you mess up .

Oh , also got to bring this offering three times a year , also got to do this , do that . And the spirit of life and liberty in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death . Law of sin and death . Quit worrying about church members' opinions , and this is not liberty to sin . Let me be clear .

This is liberty to serve , but this is liberty to serve how the Lord deems and not necessarily all the hoops that the Reverend Shobob Hobobs of the world want to make you jump through . There's a lot of this stuff . It's cultural , it descends from a controlling spirit because , man , I'm going to tell you this is sad .

There are certain people that freedom and liberty in Christ Jesus is just too scary . They can't handle the freedom . They can't handle not being told what to do . I remember Bones talking about when he was over in 82nd Airborne . They had a guy that had been to drill sergeant school and all this squared away .

But when he went to selection he could not handle it for special forces . And part of the reason why was you don't get told every step . Here's what we're going to do ,

here's when we're going to do it . Be there , do it Too free .

And if you're used to having everything dictated to you , if you're used to being told every little thing that you're supposed to do , rather than letting the Holy Spirit and letting the Word of God mature you to where you can be trusted without having to get directions all the time , man , you're going to fall back to that spirit of control .

And it is spirit and it's evil , because we're to use that liberty that we have in Christ Jesus as an opportunity to serve . Jesus called the disciples unto himself . This is Matthew 20 , 25 , and 26 . Said you know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them and those who are great exercise authority over them . Yet it shall not be so among you .

But whoever desires to become great among you , let him be your servant . You have to have a servant's heart and keep in mind that you are serving the king , not little church minions , not somebody with a pastor and apostle title . There is apostolic authority . There's also a lot of people with names and titles that ain't got the goods .

Why aren't C-dub and bones popular in certain settings ? Because if you ain't got the goods and you get an attitude , c W Mullins will politely inform you that you don't have that authority because you don't have the goods . You know what ? There are some times that in my pride and ego , I was getting ready to do that and the Lord corrected me .

So the thing is just develop that relationship , use it as an opportunity to serve and stop worrying about being a man pleaser and serve Jesus Christ . Hey , everybody , thanks for
