Welcome to the Mighty Men Training Institute

So I really don't know what I want to do with my life but what I did find is that i have a paaion for kids. I love to see them smile and I love to watch them have fun and I really love to teach them something that they will use for God. Right now i am at Springhill Camps, way up north in Evart, and i just had some chances to connect with kids and make them feel as if they were the only ones in the world I cared to talk to. I was once that kid that was unsure of himself but when that someone stepped in and just encouraged me I wanted to grow and be like him. It looks like the passion I had is still with me ten years later. I know i am young and i have more of a chance to change what im doing. I think you should follow your passion, and use your passion for God!

I know that during this fast we have been praying a lot, but have you stepped out and let God use you. God has so many different plans for you if you let him work through you. 

"Have you let yourself be used by God in giving of money? What about time? Have you given up your defiance toward authority? Have you taken time out to just listen to what God has to say? Has God said something to you and you just ignored him because you didn't want to?"  

Step out and let God see your heart. He sees it either way but He wants you to show Him. We are His children, and He wants to be proud of us. Ask yourself those questions above. I know that once i stepped out i felt Him moving right away and He blessed me, but the blessing was just an additive. I felt God move, if only I could explain how amazing He is then I would, but I cant so you need to ask God to reveal Himself to you.

So this is my second attempt at this blog...So what is fasting?  It is when you take something away from yourself and give it to God. In turn God will fill that need with His power. Now what does that mean for us? Well that means we have to rely on God and ask him to keep us from temptation. This time of fasting is a way to get us closer to God but not only that but starting to understand Him better. As you do this there will be temptations because the devil doesn't want you to be close to your heavenly father. He will put lies into your head but your head belongs to God and you can send the devil away in the name of Jesus.

On the ride home feom work today my wife asked what my New Year's resolution would be. She told me her's would be to practice how to be more selfish (exact words). Her entire life has been for the sacrifice of others but she has gotten no return that she can shee.

But the way she asked me was suggestive, as to if I need to work on anything. The obvious answer is to work on my marriage, but I didn't say it. I thought I was already taking steps now, and not waiting until the new year.

She pointed out how I can turn to everyone else but not her. I need to step up in my marriage, but I don't know how or where to start. Is it supposed to be this complicated?? I'm trying to make a plan but it can't be done overnight. Even it coming to fruition will take time. How do I stop the emotions from flaring?? How can I make it easy to restore her faith in me??

I know that in this day and age the world is showing us more and more that porn is okay. We are able to see anything and everything with a click of a button or by pulling up an app on our phones. Porn is everywhere. Every day new sites go up that fuel a sinful world. I have found first hand how hard it is to stay pure in a world where just something simple can trigger a desire to get just that little bit more; knowing full well that in doing so you are hurting yourself more than you ever should. Then you take it to the next level when just looking at porn isn't enough. You want more, but you don't want anyone to know. You get your quick fix by masturbating. It is your mind thinking about things you see and trying to get everything you can out of the sin. At first it feels good to your flesh, but after you feel even worse than ever. Have you ever been walked in while in the act of masturbation? What does that person think of you, of your values and of your trust? (you were hiding it) What if someone was in the room every time you looked at porn or masturbated? What would their reaction be toward you? Well if you didn't know God is there with you. Ouch town. Yeah God saw every thing you saw. Every degrading thing that you did to yourself. Oh and he see what you are thinking... did you think about that? So why do we do this thing that is so destructive to us? My reason was because I was looking for something I couldn't have. My thoughts were, "it's not the real thing so it is okay." That is Satan talking and spitting lies all over you. He knows that you are weak and he wants to find that weakness and hit it hard trying to cause you to fall and once fallen he kicks you and tries to keep you down. The thing he doesn't want is for you to call out to God; ask for forgiveness for everything. In that small cry you reach out your hand and God takes it and lifts you up. With His other hand He throws Satan away. God shows you the path that he wants you to follow. It is going to be a up hill battle, with "shortcuts" that turn out to be a place that Satan with find you again. All the while God is standing right there calling out to you to come back and all you need is to reach out again and he will pull you back on to the straight and narrow. God want you to be victorious over these sins. Call on to him and you will be free. God Bless

Be prepared to recite this verse at the MMTI meeting on Thursday.   Read the tips listed in the Article VOW posted on Aug 21, 2010.

 Titus 3:14  "Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful."
