My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things. And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.
James 1:2-4 (TPT)
As Warriors we are to continue to receive love from the Father. It isn’t seasonal or a one-time event. Belovedness is to go with a man till the end of his days here on earth. We will need to experience more and more of His love as we are restored into how a man, each and every single man, uniquely bears God’s image.
The experience of training becomes elevated to a more intentional day-to-day practice with God. It’s my intention to establish for the men that this growing up and learning how isn’t easy. If it were, we would have far more free men moving about the planet. Sadly, this is not the case, far too many of our brothers are still compromised, oppressed, and imprisoned.
Learning, training, and battling is the good God is up to in a man’s life. It is a glorious and dangerous proposition. Growing is the aim, maturing ... take your time. The wounds happened over time, so the healing and the training can’t be rushed.
