Needed, Mighty Men of Valor…
Good Morning Beautiful People. I felt impressed this morning to repost this writing from August 2014.
I traveled once again this past weekend to drop off my prayer letters for a men’s retreat at the Christian Life Center held several towns away. As I prayed for this retreat, I began to sob. This is what I penned, this is what I prayed. Today, I ask you to join me in praying in agreement for men all across this globe. Men of integrity, character, men who fear the Lord and men that are committed, sold out and willing to be leaders in their homes and communities, you are needed. We join our faith for you men to step up all across this globe today, our world needs you, you were designed to be world changers.
Lord, I thank you for each of these men that said yes to come away and spend this time with the Creator of the Universe. Lord, I pray that each one will declare your Word over their lives daily. I thank you Lord they are mighty men of valor and walk in obedience to you in every area of their lives. I pray blessings over every man and their family in the name of Jesus. I thank you they are blessed in their home, blessed in their work and highly esteemed in their communities.
Lord, I pray these men would be students of the Word of God, men of prayer and world changers. That they will be role models for their sons and other young men in their communities, being a bright light for you, oh God. I pray Lord that the favor of God would go before them and that you would set open doors before each one. I pray a blessing over their finances God. That these men would know no lack in their resources and they would walk in abundance according to the principles of the Word of God. I pray that they will prosper in all things and be in health, just as their soul prospers (John 3:1-2).
God, I pray a blessings more than they could contain. Fill them afresh with your Holy Spirit and may they know you in a close abiding way. May they experience your love in a deep, deep way. You are the friend that sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24). Thank you Lord you will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5).
May the joy of the Lord be their strength and may their time with you be extraordinary as they are called to be extraordinary men in the Kingdom of God. Enlarge their territories and may they continue to impact the world for you. We give you thanks for these mighty, mighty men of valor.
Today, being Father’s Day, we join our faith and pray many men will step up to the plate and be godly fathers all across this globe. Amen
Happy Father’s Day and remember every day is a new beginning. It is never too late to step up to the plate and become a mighty man of valor.
