We very much need to be praying for our men of God!
For some time now I've noticed that the enemy of our souls seems to be hyper focused on our godly men. Far too many stories of men being stressed out in ways that seem to be beyond normal. Trials in their lives coming out of nowhere, as if for some reason spiritual warfare has ramped up against them. This is including my own husband, father-in-law, close friends, and friend's husbands.
Today in church the guest speaker brought up an interesting statistic that would explain Satan's panic. Ten years ago in the United States, 38% of women felt religion/faith was important where 29% of men felt the same. Today, same study shows 38% of women feel religion/faith is important where 49% of men feel the same. That's a staggering blow to the realm of darkness.
Our men have been under attack through feminism, anti-patriarchy, gender confusion instillment in the young, etc... etc...
Men are built by our Lord to be leaders, providers and protectors. Our enemy wants our men weak. Prayer on earth creates movement in heaven. Let's lift up our brothers-in-Christ to the throne of our Lord for protection, guidance, wisdom, and strength.
Lord, let it be so.
Amen
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."
God has spoken these words to me over the past few days. Then, lo and behold, this command was a topic in my church’s sermon this morning.
I did not know this would become a whole thing IRL. My apologies. God had ENTIRELY diff plans. No one knows anything, including those known to be close to me online. Best way to describe it, God took over my life and I'm still giving Him the keys. Will reach out when ready. ML o7

I heard this in the middle of a season of anxiety attacks I thought would end my ability to ever preach again in 2019.
He was right.
