“The chaos of the end times will require the spiritual focus of disciplined men”
-Ps. Al
Men, during our March Men’s Breakfast we discussed the need to increase good godly habits in order to grow as men of God so that we will better hear Him and take on His image.
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” Proverbs 25:28 ESV
Developing a disciplined life requires us to not just stop doing unfruitful things but also filling those voids with doing things that edify and mature you in Christ.
7 Holy Habits (disciplines) to grow into Mature Manhood
- Increase your daily intake of God’s Word. Starting your day in the Word.
- Guard your heart, especially against offense.
- Increase your prayer life, praying intentionally rather than routinely.
- Keep your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit through obedience to the Word and His promptings.
- Choose godly wisdom over neutral or emotionally-driven options.
- Practice fasting as a regular spiritual discipline.
- Look for opportunities to serve, disciple, and mentor others.
Please see the Men’s Breakfast video and teaching notes attached and get ready to step into a new dimension with God!
Prayer and confession over 2026 – The Year of the Big Fix!
Father, we ask for a mighty and sustained manifestation of Your wonderful glory in this current season; manifesting Your majestic presence, Your awesome power and Your extravagant goodness that brings:
1. An awakening to You in the body of Christ; waking us out of our apathy, complacency, and lethargy and moving into the harvest field.
2. Protection and victory for Israel – the apple of Your eye.
3. Protection and wisdom for President Trump and those called to his side as he leads our nation under Your providential hand.
4. Your glory to be made manifest in our church, Your body – the church, our school campuses, our nation, and the world.
5. Breakthroughs of growth, prosperity, influence and favor for our ministry and partners at KCM, EMIC, KCBC and the Victory Channel.
6. Personal prosperity and breakthroughs (answers, direction and clarity) for every church member and partner of this ministry.
7. And complete preparation in spirit, soul and body for all that is coming.
– To God be the all the glory, amen!
