“A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family. He must have a cause to which he is devoted even unto death, for this is written into the fabric of his being.” — J. Eldredge

Every man is a warrior inside. God created you to become His intimate ally, to join Him in the great battle. We are His visionaries and he created you to be cunning. But, plenty of times we can’t go the battle field because of the different hindrances we face everyday:

YOU

However strong castle may be, if treacherous party resides inside, the castle cannot be kept safe from the enemy. Since the day when Adam gave away the essence of his strength, men have struggled with a part of themselves that is ready at the drop of a hat to do the same. E.g. we don’t want to speak up unless we know it will go well, and we don’t want to move unless there is guaranteed success. In blunt words, our flesh is a poser and selfish! That is not the real YOU. The real you is on the side of God against the false self. Knowing this makes all the difference in the world. Crucify your false self. Speak right to the issues you normally remain silent over. If you want to grow in true masculine strength, then you must stop sabotaging yours.

WORLD

The world offers a man a false sense of power and a false sense of security. Where does your own sense of power come from? Is it your pretty girlfriend? Is it knowledge? Is it your position or degree can make a man feel like a pretty neat stuff. STOP. What if tomorrow you lost everything? Remember: without Christ, a man fail miserably or succeed more miserably. If you want to know how the world really feels about you, just start living out of your true strength. You must let your true strength show up.
