Worship the active ingredient of Masculinity

My assignment is to reunite your worship and Masculinity. In other words Connect "who you are" with "whose you are". The divorce of "who you are" from "whose you are" will flaw your navigation through life as a man,  because you have no sense of direction or purpose. It's like using a GPS system to travel but never entering a destination.

2 EFFECTS OF THE DISCONNECT

I. Without this connection there is no defenses against obvious traps. You are prone to fall for anything.

II. No Repellant against nagging parasites that suck life from you. A parasite is An organism that lives in or outside of an host and benefits from deriving nutrients from it.

     -endoparasite Live on the inside. They live off and leave their waste in you.
Therefore, the porn, sexual glutiny, gambling, stubborness, homosexuality live off the nutrients of your finance and time while leaving the waste of debit and emptiness. Brothers what endoparasite have you let inside?

I argue that, THE UNION OF WORSHIP AND MASCULINITY IS VITAL TO MEN. I have to know who I am and whose I am. MASCULINITY is found in being the image of God.

Genesis 1:26-27
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

MASCULINITY therefore is mirroring our FATHER.
Worship allows us to see the Father so we can adjust our image accordingly.
True worship is established when a man follows the direction of His Father
Idolatry is disobeying His word and in that practice we lose
- our purpose
-completeness
-and ultimately  masculinity

All this Leads then to THE CURSE TO PERFORM.
After the fall of man, Genesis 3:17-19
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Meaning we will be driven with the desire to perform/work but never being satisfied. Worship is the only place we find the fulfillment Adam enjoyed prior to his fall. that's why no matter how hard we perform outside of His presences, we feel lack. Sex, work , relationships and even our spirituality without worship is empty.


LUKE 15 speaks of a man in this predicament. The prodigal son.
Vs. 13 A. Clause ............"And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country,"
The son decides to disconnect from the father . Decides to not follow the wishes of his father and leaves the House. He disassociates his identity to his father.

13b - 14....."and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want."
WE ARE ALL IN A STATE OF WANT. DON'T BELIEVE ME CHECK THE SIN YOU. YOUR SINS ARE LANDMARKS TO YOUR LACK AND EMPTINESS. WHAT ARE YOU LACKING TONIGHT?


He suffers the 2 EFFECTS OF DISCONNECT

1. His disassociation of identity shows  No defense against traps. The B. clause states he wasted his money. He fell in a trap that sapped his resource.

2. He works for a parasite that doesn't recognize his value and is thrown to the pigs. It's scary to be comfortable with pigs. If he remembered the Son he was ....then he would not have be CONNECTED TO PIGS.
-consider your connections




Verse 17. And when he came to himself.  This means that "who he was" aligned back to "whose he was".
WHEN THE MAN REUNITES WITH THE WORSHIPPER
WHEN THE HUSBAND REUNITES WITH THE WORSHIPPER
WHEN THE SON REUNITES WITH THE WORSHIPPER

THEN LIVE IN THE HOUSE , THE PRESENCE OF GOD NOT IN THE PIG PEN

Tonight we have come to reunite masculinity and worship. This Devine alignment. The alignment is repentance.
