A Shofar Call to all Men

Recently,  I heard a question that sent a shiver down my back.  Where are the men in America?  The ones who are willing to step into the gaps and be the leaders of our homes, our families and our nation.  Whether America is doomed to fall or not is not the question.  All nations are going to bow before Our Creator and His Son Yeshua.  So yes America is going to fall but we are to be men of courage and pray for our nation.

Daniel and and other men of the Scriptures prayed for even their captures and the Father blessed them.  He used these men to show others that commitment to Our Father is the most powerful weapon Ha Satan faces.

Our Nation has lost its soul and needs men of courage, men of prayer to lead the way. No matter what the ruler of this realm says or does to stop us.  The question of where the men are in America is one we need to look in the pages of our recent history. 

The leaders of today are looking to the last 50 years in history to see their role models.

Demasculinized role models of child like behaviors and whining sports figures are the role models of today's youth.  Not many young men of today look up to the role models that the Father has given them.  Grandpa and Dad .

Proverbs 22:6 tells us that we are to train up a child in the way he should go.  This is not a verse for the state run schools - it is for us as parents (especially men).  Men now a days are being told that we can not be in the roles that we were designed for.  Gone are the days when men actually trained to be biblical men.  Men of courage and men of honor.  When I say this I mean in the likeness of Yeshua..

He was not weak nor was he timid.  Read the scriptures. He turned over the money changers tables and challenged the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin of the day on their erroneous teachings.  He even taught his disciples accordingly in Luke 22:35-38.  Does this sound like a wimp?  The way the world paints Him.  Again where are the men?

The society of America is deprived of deeply rooted spiritual men of prayer.  The more a man is deeply rooted in prayer the more he is in the will of the Father. Our example of deep prayer is Yeshua Himself in the Garden.  He made His petition at the Father's feet and in much agony He prayed and sweat turned to blood.  I personally have not reached that point in my prayer life that I was in so intense focus that my own sweat turned to blood.

What would happen if we, as men, rose up to be in prayer like Elijah, Daniel or David. David did obeisance before the Father. This was a man after Yah's own heart.  What a statement that would make to our families? To our sons?

An example better than any Sports figure.  We, as men , should rise up to bow down to our Creator, Abba - Father.  Where are the men?

Are you a man that desires Yah's own heart?  Are you a man of prayer? Are you a man of action or a man of in-action?  Can you stand in the gaps and watch the night? Being ready to prayerfully do battle for our Father, our Families, and our Nation?  Then start each day with the Father in prayer and with your family?  If you need pray for yourself and want another pray warrior to help, let me know. 

Shalom,
