Men of God

For Sunday:  Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there striving to be all that they can be for God, for their spouse, for themselves, and for their children. It’s a daunting task to be that godly man of character, but never look back, move constantly forward and towards the better, and one day you’ll look at the man in the mirror and be truly amazed at what God has done.

June's Message, Day 19: For Sunday, Father's Day

It's time men, to break the chains of bondage that are keeping you from becoming the godly man of character that God wants you to be, and to be the Christ-like loving husband and father that you know you can be. It starts with just two things: prayer, for God to help and empower you, and reading His Word, to let it change and transform you. The pain remains until you change.

Day 13:

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17 NIV

And:

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. John 15:26 NIV

And:

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13 NIV

Day 14:

Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. Hosea 14:9 NIV

Day 15:

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Revelation 3:17-18 NIV

Day 16:

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7 NIV

Day 17:

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:19-21 NIV

Day 18:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:25-28,31,33 NIV

The Divine Whisper is always there to help you, empower you, transform you, and mold and shape you like clay in the hands of the Potter. Just be the clay.
