A Revelation of the True Masculine

We need a massive shift in the hearts of men. For far too long men have walked in ignorance of true masculinity. God has given men a voice and a heart of authority. But we have used our power to heap upon ourselves selfish benefits.

We have used our voice of authority to control and manipulate those who are weaker. We have satisfied our own lusts through our strength and influence. In our brokenness we have run over those who stood in the way of our success, or those who might affect our reputation in the eyes of others. We have objectified women and men and lifted up sexual pleasure as our highest ambition. We have abandoned our children and left a generation fatherless.

What would the world be like if men walked in the true gift of their masculinity? We would see a world radically different today.

If men walked in the true masculine:

  • The pornography industry would be left bankrupt.
  • Prostitution would all but end.
  • Prisons would be emptied.
  • Woman would cherished and empowered.
  • Children would walk in confidence, knowing they are loved and valued.
  • Orphanages would cease to exist.
  • Senseless violence would end.
I know I've made some pretty harsh judgments toward men. But we are responsible and accountable to God and to one another for a great part of the pain caused in this world. We MUST receive healing from wounds to our masculinity and then walk in our true destiny as men! Good men, arise! Hear the call of God on your lives! Forsake the selfish mindset so many of us have adopted! Let us rise up and cause a revolution of justice and mercy as men of God!
