The Value of His Daughter

The Lord's heart is broken.

He's torn my heart.

"Men in this generation have prostituted their hearts for too long"

The weight of those words the Lord spoke made me weep. As I felt the burden of the Lord come, I literally asked Him to move Heaven for just one man crying out for the hearts and eyes of young men.
He has pierced my heart for His heart. The way He sees His daughters, the women we come in contact with every single day, in the mundane of life.

More than just "God", He is Abba. Carrying the heart of a Father...

"My daughters are My prized possession. I've given them great value and I'm fiercely protective over them"

Value that, as men, WE must fiercely protect as well!


As the heart of the Lord is revealed, I must respond accordingly.
More than anything, I burn for the weight and burden of stereotypes and expectation to be released off men. For revelation and truth to break in over this generation and reveal rightly the worth and honor women deserve.

The ways of honor are unmistakable. They breath life into women as WE show them that they have worth! That they are worthy of this...
Truly, the responsibility we have been given has carelessly been cast aside for the lust of the eyes. I sincerely don't believe I would get a contrary argument from this lustful culture of self-gratification...where "boys will be boys"


That's not what we were intended to be. Men casting down their place of leadership to fulfill their selfish desires..






However, in brief concession, I must relent to the fact that women have not been manifesting the demand for honor with true consistency. Truly, the burden also falls on the respect women birth inside themselves. When you meet a woman who knows her worth, you feel the weight of her presence and react according...
However, despite a disconnect between the way in which woman command our respect, unequivocally, women deserve our respect.
And as men, we must LEAD with that respect



We've been marked as leaders. To follow the Lord's heart and define ourselves in His image.
At the center of my heart and the forefront of my pursuit is a Man we must cling to for HIS leadership. How can we ever expect to walk out our masculinity on our own without the One who came to establish the purity in our masculinity....where the essence of manhood is established in the courts of His presence.
Truly, He is the one we follow and rely on to lead us. To openly and liberally give grace (grace!) for purity. To breakdown the wrong stereotypes and paradigms of our own constructed, perverted "rights" as men to pursue women with lustful intentions.
In His lead, we approach women with the love and humility in which Jesus approaches His Chruch...to make us blameless and Holy...
Are we thinking consciously of what we do to create an atmosphere of purity so women can feel blameless and clean in our presence?
Consider the authority the Lord has given us to create safety for His daughers...

But more than anything, the Lord has pressed my heart with the revelation of the purpose for our eyes. To take Jesus at His very spoken word, the fixation of our eyes is at the heart of our inner being (Luke 11:34). Our eyes, what we set our gaze upon, will permeate the inner facets our of spirit...
Please capture this: our eyes and our gaze reveal our heart...


In humility, I am just a man. Weak and broken.
These words.....just a blog
But I believe the longing and "yes" in my heart for purity and honor in this generation moves the heart of my Father.

Over this generation, I pray...

Father,
I cry out toYou for the men in this generation. That You would move with power and love so they will see the purpose of manhood with eyes of understanding and revelation. Break in with truth. Truth of who You are... One Man who we can fully place our hearts in and follow with utter abandonment. In Who we can find our masculinity in, our purpose in, our identity it. Move Heaven on behalf of this generation and raise up men after Your heart that will set their hearts on purity and righteousness...men who will set their gaze on You alone.
I ask you that You would reveal Your love to men, pour out Your spirit on all men, that they may be wrecked with love and affection for You. That they may be completely filled with the Holiness and Purity of your spirit. Give us a revelation and understanding about WHY we were created...to humbly show honor and respect; to protect physically, emotionally, and spiritually; unconditionally love; encourage; provide; and support women in our midst.
Forgive us for the perversion of this generation. The pleasure taken in the lust of the eyes. Release a new mantle of grace and righteousness over all men in the name of Jesus.


I believe in the men of this generation. With all that I am, I believe that there can be a return to honor.
My heart is for that place. Where women can come into an atmosphere of security and respect.

They deserve it.
