I didn't have very many people or Godly men to lean on or go to when i was a young boy ,teenager or young man . i was in my mid 20s when i finaly got saved and by then i was already carrying a lot of baggage . I want to be able to help the younger men to not get so unoriented in their walk with Christ . To be the men God called us to be .
I'm the father of 2 and step father to 2 more and their all my kids.My wife and I also have 9 grandkids and 11 great grand kids .I try to set the example by the way i live my life before them .
i am part of a life group with 5 other men we have been going through the Heart of a Warrior work book for almost a year now and it has been a great thing for me, i didn't realize how far off i was in several areas of my life and its good to have brothers you can count on to stand with you when life gets hard . 2 of the men i'm group with talked me into going to the weekend experiance this weekend which was my first time .
my first encounter with Christ was with the birth of my daughter . i couldn't father kids and my wife couldn't bear children , she started going to church an got saved and started praying for a family . within a year she was pregnant and not long after i could not deny God must have a plan of some sort for me .
I've been blessed after i got saved my pastor and one of the elders did start to disciple me thats where i learned to not only share my testomony. but to teach and preach.
I work with a recovery program on friday nights and i have given my testomony there as well

wounds things that you have experianced that hurt or did damage that you still carry around years later, they left scars
vows things that you have declared over yourself , or stated (i'll never do that or be that way)
agreements when you have agreed with something about yourself good or bad . giving the enemy a foot hold into your life if its not true

My dad was quite the perfectionist nothing was good enough and i was always less than . Never making him proud or hearing good job son
spiritual warfare is prayer against powers and principalities , fasting praying for others , I have been part of a deliverance ministy with my church for a few years .
i have heard God through his word , he has answered prayer IE my kids . I was on a mission trip a few years ago and he lead and guided me when praying for a crowd people it was like i could almost hear what they needed or needed to hear .
I am involved with a group of men now and we are engaged in each others stories . Sometime, most of the time we just need somebody to listen ,and to know we are not alone in our struggles . To know that we can can count on our brother to help hold us up when we're beet down .
