RESTORING REAL MANHOOD
And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous–to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” And I will give you shepherds according to My heart…”. (Luke 1:17; Jer 3:15)
WORSHIP
• Worship the Lord, our perfect Father (Mat 6:9; Luke 11:13; Psa 68:5; Gal 4:6)
REPENTANCE
• Repent personally and on behalf of the men of America for having abandoned their God-ordained roles and responsibilities as shepherds of the family. For being passive instead of protectors. (2 Cor 11:3; Rom 1:21-22; 1 Cor 11:7-12)
• Repent and receive forgiveness for the role you have had–as a man–in an abortion in any way (coerced, condoned, silence, etc.) (James 5:16; Psa 51)
INTERCESSION
• Ask God to release upon the men of this generation a revelation of their God-given identity, authority and responsibilities, such that they rise up to protect women and children–even the unborn (Heb 2:6-8; Pro 14:26, Eph 4:17-18; Jer 24:7)
• Ask God to raise up Mordecai’s and Barak’s to support women. (Est 2:11; Jud 4:8) • Call forth a generation of men who will walk in the fear of the Lord and rely on God’s
guidance to properly steward all that they’ve been entrusted with. (Isa 48:17; Psa
51:7; 103:13; Jer 3;15; Pro 3:5-6, 9:10; Mat 7:11; Lk 12:42) • Call forth a generation of men who will model Christ’s love for the church toward their
wives and girlfriends to protect and help them heal from the pain and shame of
abortion. (Eph 5:25-27; Isa 54:5; Hos 2:16, 19; 1 Cor 11:2; Col 3:19; 1 Pet 3:7) • Call forth a generation of men who will model the Father heart of God toward their own children and toward the fatherless (2 cor 6:18; 1 Chr 17:13; Lk 1:17; Deu 6:4-9; 1 Tim
3:4-5; Psa 145:4; Pro 22:6, 23:24; Col 3:20-21; Eph 6:4; Rom 8:15) • Ask God to restore lost fatherhood to abortive or absentee fathers. (Joel 2:15; Psa
80:7; Luke 1:17; Jer 3:15; Eze 36:26) • Intercede for the men of our generation, for protection from the seductive spirit of this
age, for purity, maturity and integrity in their walk with God and the ability to discern the deception that would try to ensnare them. (Pro 4:23; 2 Cor 2:14-15; Heb 12:1; 1 Jn 4; 1 Th 5:21; 2 Pet 2; Rom 12:2; 2 Cor 10:5)
