This is a special episode to honor my Baby Girl, “Joi”, Lauren Joi for her birthday. She is such a blessing to me. I am honored to be a girl dad. Daughters are a gift from God and God made them to be loved, cherished and cared for. Listen as I talk about honoring and loving our daughters on this episode!

The world’s system is designed to strip us men of our godliness, leadership and manhood. It is a Babylonian society just like in the days of Daniel, that only tried to strip him and his friends of their identity, but they stood firm in their godly convictions. Satan cannot create so he uses his system to rape and pillage Christians of their identity in Christ. Gender confusion and identity crises are at an all time high in this generation. It is a matter of the heart and we have to protect our hearts. The Bible says, Guard your heart above all else(Proverbs 4:23). The Father created us in His image. When you chase the world and it’s way of doing things you stand to lose everything God has for you! God loves us too much to have this happen to His people!

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God wants us to seek His kingdom and his way of doing things. There is freedom in knowing that our Father loves us and sees us as servants and His sons. It’s sorry to say in some churches there is a “perception of perfection” which makes us feel like we will never measure up which is “KingDumb.” We need to keep seeking our perfection and love in Him which is “Kingdom.” Please subscribe and listen to this podcast, I pray it blesses you!

“All it takes is a beautiful fake smile to hide an injured soul and they will never notice how broken you really are” Robin Williams. You never know what folks are going through. Just because they smile and laugh doesn’t mean they are happy. They are injured and damaged inside, I have been there several times. Let’s be sensitive, loving, encouraging and empathetic during this season. Keep the @sir_twitch_alot family in your prayers, they lost a father, husband, son, and friend. A phone call, a text, or a hug goes a long way to show your love and support in someone’s darkness. Be that light…

The Bible says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matt 5‬:‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. God has caused us to shine in Christ. When we shine we bring attention to Him. God wants us to embrace our gifts and callings that He gave us with humility and confidence. Scripture reference: Matt 5:16, Romans 11:29, Matt 23:11.

Did you grow up without your parents? Maybe you were a victim of abuse from a parent, or a father figure? Do you feel alone or abandoned? Jesus also felt alone so when He died on the cross. Jesus cried out to His Father when He turned His back(Matt 27:46) on His Son so he can take our sins at the cross. The Word Orphan means: A child who is bereaved of father or mother or of both.

Characteristics of an orphan

Some Characteristics of an Orphan:

* doesn't know where his/her next meal is coming from.

* doesn't know much about his/her identity.

* has no security about who will take care of him/her.

* has no one to cherish or treasure him/her.

* lacks a family to lean on for help or comfort.

Jesus took all of these insecurities and more at the cross for us so we don’t have to bear the weight of being Fatherless and alone. Jesus promised us He will never leave us as “orphans” Listen to the second installment of the “Broken Son” series “Exposing the Orphan Spirit” scripture reference: Isaiah 14:12-15, Matt 27:46, John 13:34-35, John 14:18

The question is, do you know you’re free? Men often pursue freedom in their careers, accomplishments, money, fame, sex, women or drug use. That’s not freedom, that’s bondage, true freedom only comes from Jesus Christ and His finished works at the cross! Listen as I talk about true freedom in God’s word.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

‭‭When you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And His finished works, you are made righteous. Salvation is a gift(Ephesians 2:8-9). We didn’t deserve it nor did we earn it. It is a free gift given to us because God simply loves us and we believe in His righteousness. It is just that simple, as a result we can live a guilt free life knowing Jesus covers our sin and loves us through all things. You no longer have to be defeated, down and ashamed by your past or the enemy’s lies. Jesus loves us and wants us to live a guilt free life.

“For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15‬ ‭CSB‬‬

As fathers, we need to know how to love our children more intentionally and unconditionally. When we do this, our children will see the way our Heavenly Father love. We are to be loving our children not harsh or judgmental. Loving our children with God’s love is one of the best gifts we can give to them!
