Wake the faith up

 

Turning Boys of religion into Men of God/Hardcore Jesus examples… Ive got grandkids… Im reliving the “how to’s” in raising Godly men and women. 

 

The feminization of men… or maybe the weakening of masculinity… why? 

I know over the last 100 years testosterone in men has plummeted, I know divorce has almost totally eradicated Fatherly examples, I know woman rights has beaten up on Men and I know women have been harrassed and subjugated into thinking that they must now be as dominant as men and take the best known foibles of men and parade them around in their actions touting they are equals….

 

So today here is a “mens check up” list for you to ask yourself. And ladies if you are listening please pass this along to your husbands, brothers, boyfriends and Dads…

 

 a  Can you be honest with where you are at in your walk with Christ and in life in general. 

 

Now what are you doing to change that?

Finding a Godly mentor is the #1 step in changing your life.

 

 b Do you understand the seasons of a spiritual journey?

 

26 years ago I was so red hot for Jesus… I would walk into stores and God would give me a word for someone I never met and it would rock their world.

5 years later I was fighting to keep myself from walking away from ministry… and my marriage was brutal.

2 years later I was fully engaged in my Christian walk and ministry and being used in the secular world to reach people for Christ

Then I faced harder times, then good times, then tough times, then supernatural times, then blah times, then more struggles, then good, then bad, then blah, then really good.

WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY? 

Life has seasons… do you know that? Are you ready to handle them? Do you know why each season exists? 

 

 

  c  Make your walk about others and not you

The sooner you practice this and figure it out the faster your life has color to it. I love what Zig Ziglar said… if you help enough people get what they want, you will always end up getting what you want.

Serving IS the secret weapon to a meaningful life. 

 

 

 d  Make sure your spiritual walk soaks into every area of your life.  - you are not looking at porn, fondling your girlfriend, sleeping with your girlfriend, not tithing, not sharing the gospel, making excuses for your pet sins, you still drink to much, smoke to much, you still put the wrong thoughts in your head… Would I want my pastor to get up and preach this weeks sermon out of my brain and my life? 

 

e  Take responsibility of your intimacy with Christ. Would reading more and praying more help? Would fasting help? Would confessing your sins and staying accountable help? Would going to a bible study help? Would going to a regular prayer meeting help?

THAN WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING IT?

 

f Grow in your gifts, and push for more gifts, take risks in gifts you don’t have yet.

PRAY FOR HEALING, TEACH THE 4 YEAR OLDS, GIVE A PROPHETIC WORD, Lead worship, Tell your boss about Jesus, Tell your neighbor about Jesus. Sacrifice for others… give that money away, share that talent for Jesus….

 

  g  Learn that spiritual discipline is better than spiritual passion

You have heard me say in regards to the common line by parents “I just want my kids to be happy”.

NOT ME - I want me kids to be resilient. I want them to understand that resilience and discipline is what brings freedom, passion, success in every area of life.

Spiritual discipline trumps Spiritual passion ever time.

Show me someone in the bible who helped change history and i will show you someone who didn’t go by their feelings.
