God is looking for men who will stand out from the crowd. Men who will not be crowd lovers, crowd blenders, crowd pleasers, or crowd followers, but men who will dare to be different.The crowd mentality is the herd mentality. It doesn't take a lot of brains to follow the herd. Most animals think this way. They instinctively feel safer in the herd. Those big fat cattle do not realize that their benevolent farmer, who provides them with fields of luscious green grass and grain, is about to send them in trucks to the slaughterhouse to feed the crowds of his own species.
Socialism is a "give me" mentality. Let the government provide my food, clothing, and shelter, All I have to do is as little as possible in a government paid job. The government demonizes private ownership of homes, business, and wealth. It whips up the crowd to vote for them and then leads them to the slaughterhouse where all freedoms, liberties, personal ambition, and wealth are destroyed. The government does all the thinking, makes all the decisions for the crowd, and stamps down on all opposition including Christianity.
Let’s be men who STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.
Be encouraged.

God is looking for men who will deny themselves the easy road, especially if the easy road includes the lusts of the flesh and yielding to temptations. Everything is acceptable on the easy road, as long as it makes you feel good and requires no moral resistance. Homosexuality is okay on the easy road, as is abortion, drugs, sex, alcohol, and witchcraft.
When a real man of God goes to work, he rolls up his sleeves, gets stuck in, and does his very best. And he does this consistently.
Proverbs 28:1 says: "The righteous are as bold as a lion." God is bold and He despises fear and cowardice.
Acts 4:13: "Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
What does it mean to be alert? To be watchful, vigilant, guarding against surprise or danger.
A message to all fathers and mothers on the VALUE of a godly home:
Jesus said that the attitude of Christians in the end times should be to watch and pray. This speaks of alertness. To be honest, the church should right now be full of the most alert men in the world. This would be the case if "Christian" men would take the words of Christ to heart.
Take time to Read Revelation 2:1-7. This word to the Ephesus church reveals that the fire of our “first love” to Jesus Christ is far more important than many other commendable things we may do for Christ—
“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.”
“The militant church is one that never retreats but advances, conquering every stronghold of the enemy through prayer and perseverance.”
“If Jesus preached the same message ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.”
I don’t believe Christian couples should be like hedgehogs to one another. I mentioned this when speaking at the Above Rubies Family Retreat in Florida recently. A woman approached me and said that she and her husband were Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog and could they both receive counsel about the matter.
“For the truth’s sake, and because the true God is on our side, let us in these modern days of warfare emulate the warriors of Israel, and unfurl our banners to the breeze with confident joy. Dark signs of present or coming ill must not dishearten us; if the Lord had meant to destroy us, He would not have given us the gospel.”
"The simple step of a courageous individual is not to partake in the lie. One word of Truth outweighs the world."
Have you heard about the Isaiah62 prayer and fasting for Israel. It began yesterday, 7th May and will continue until 28th May.
"Pain insists on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."
"The goverment you elect is the government you deserve."
"The evangelical church has largely failed to be the Church Militant. We are in a war. If you don't understand this, when the bullets start flying, you will say 'we've got to be nicer,' 'we've got to be more relevant.' That's simply wrong-headed. This world is not our friend.
"I'd rather have 10 people that want God, than 10,000 people who want to play church."
