  1. Men of Vision5 Traits of Godly Men PSALM 101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

  2. AND.KNOWETH.IT.NOT Help us this morning to take corrections from the Spirit and the Word, that we might prepare ourselves as we move away from the doors this morning, determined in our heart to live a better life than we have in the past. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. 65-0815 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  3. A.SECONDHANDED.ROBE 14 (Elijah/Elisha) …Elijah the prophet, who had the mantle of God on his shoulders, he came down and laid it across Elisha, the farmer, to see if it would fit him. And it taken about ten years to get altered to fit that mantle. You know, God usually puts us in the shop and trims us up. Now, He didn't alter His robe to fit Elisha; He altered Elisha to fit the robe. And that's what He does today. He alters us to fit the robe, not the robe to fit us. Sometimes we want to make the robe fit us. But we can't do that. You've got to be altered yourself for the robe. It's God's robe and He made it perfect. And He's got to bring us into that realm to make the robe fit us. 56-1125 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  4. THE.SEAL.OF.THE.CHRIST 11 …That's the way the Holy Spirit does us, comes around and shakes down a few things that's loose in the church, loose in the individual. Just a little reckless living, the things that we ought not to do, and the little things that's wrong with us, God comes around and shakes them: First to see of you're solid on the Word, see if you're eligible, as a child or servant of God to carry on. 55-0312 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  5. Five Aspects of a Godly Man • Lord of the Earth (Genesis 1): Man is created in the image of God to rule and subdue the earth for God. • Husbandman(Genesis  2) Man is created to cultivate the persons and things within his realm, so they fulfill their potential within God’s creation. • Savior(Genesis  3) Man is created to war sacrificially against evil and injustice until these are vanquished. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  6. Sage(Proverbs 1-9) Man is created to be trained by mature men, to gain skill and insight, to take his place among wise men, doing work which counts forever. • Glory of God (1 Corinthians 11; Ephesians 5) Man is created to reflect God’s glory in his own life, roles, and activities. Made for God and deriving his own masculinity from God, man relates to nature, women, and other men in ways characteristic of God’s power, righteousness, grace, and love. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  7. Success! Joshua 1:7-8

  8. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  9. Enticing Spirits Give me a preacher; give me a Christian; give me a housewife that's a Christian; give me a farmer or a factory worker that'll put God first in everything, I'll show you a man that'll be successful in the spite of all the devil can put on him. He seeks God first. But they didn't do it. They were all clouded over because Ahab had a great bright kingdom, and he'd done a whole lot of things, and had his great fineries, his gold and his silver, and been a great successful man; yet an unbeliever. 55-0724 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  10. The trouble with success is that the formula is the same as the one for a nervous breakdown. (Executive Digest) Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. Deut. 29:9 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  11. A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD        But man wanted to be like, they compare, or to copy after, go like world does, say the things that they do, make a success the way they were a success. We cannot never be a success doing anything the world does. We can only be a success as we follow after God's statutes and His way of doing things. We can never be by patterning after the world. If the cigarette company has met their greatest success by television, and the beer and the whiskey crowd has made their great success through the contribution of television, that's no sign that the church shall make its success by television. The success of the church lies within the preaching of the Gospel, of the power of God, and the 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  12. demonstration of the Spirit. We do not have any Scripture to compare with them people. And as long as we do, we may draw great numbers of people, but that's not what God ordained us to do. We think because that we're all colors, flying high, great organizations, causing great colorful things to take place, that it's a success. We are dying daily on our feet, spiritually speaking. If we stood ten-million strong this morning, and the Holy Spirit wasn't with us, we'd do well to stand ten strong with the Holy Spirit with us. We cannot compare with the world. • 59-0628M  5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  13. EARNESTLY.CONTENDING.FOR.THE.FAITH 23 Not all are prophets, not all are apostles, not all are this or that, but it's given. Those things are born in us by election. Gifts and callings are without repentance, how many Scripture readers know that, let's see? Gifts and callings, not what you want to be, it's what God makes you, see. You are because God has chosen you to be, not because you chose to be, God chose you. And if you're trying to make yourself something that God hasn't chose you to do, you're only a mimic, and it'll never be a success. You've got to be what God chose you to be. • 56-0419  5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  14. PSALM 139:23-24 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  15. In My House… • A place where the Holy Spirit is always welcome; • A Place separate from Sodom; • A place where Preparations are made to leave this world. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  16. The Starting Place • Family Evangelism • Marriage Enrichment • Child Training & Discipline • Teaching Responsibility 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  17. EPHESIANS 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Nurture: (Gr.) paideia The whole training and education of children (the cultivation of mind and morals.) It also includes the training and care of the body; Whatever in adults also cultivates the soul, esp. by correcting mistakes and curbing passions. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  18. Brooks Adams Diary Entry: “Went fishing with my father; the most glorious day of my life.” 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  19. Charles Francis Adams(Father of Brooks Adams) US Ambassador to Great Britain during the Civil War • Diary Entry: “Went fishing with my son, a day wasted.” 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  20. TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS Now, we got to think of young people. We got children… So we've got to think of the others that's coming on behind us, these young people and so forth, and a place for our children. Our daughters, we don't want them out in the world in these things like that, we want them girls raised like their mothers. And we've got to make arrangements for that. And if there is no tomorrow, we don't know that. If there is no tomorrow, we haven't done nothing but been at the Master's business and been found at our post of duty when He does come. 62-0601 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  21. Psalms 144:11-15 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace 13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD… 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  22. What is the will of God for me? • Is what I am doing (or want to do) contrary to Scripture? • Is this the will of God for me now? • Am I already being obedient to what He has already revealed to me? 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  23. HEBREWS.CHAPTER.THREE 123 We are a different people. My little girl said, "Daddy, certain girls did certain things... They had these records of Elvis Presley.” I said, "I wouldn't want them in my house." 126 She said, "But, daddy, they're nice little girls.” I said, "They may be… But there is one thing, we are different. Not as that we want to be different, but the Spirit that's within us has come out of that. You're of another world.” 57-0901 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  24. Formative & Corrcetive Discipline Many times the term “discipline” is taken as a negative; usually related, in practice, to a child’s violation of a rule and the punishment for breaking the rule. In taking a positive approach to discipline and to the development of self-discipline and self direction, “discipline” is placed in the category of a learning experience. PROVERBS 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  25. The intent is to train for responsible individuals with values rooted in Christian precepts. With formative discipline, a child is challenged to acknowledge and to take responsibility for the wrongful behavior, learn from this mistake, and make amends by consistently trying to avoid this behavior in the future. The goal of formative discipline is to assist a child to achieve self discipline. PSALM 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Disciple: (Gr. mathetes) A learner, pupil, disciple. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  26. What we allow our kids to participate in by Establishing Appropriate Boundaries: Friendships; Dress; Music; Media; Dating vs. Courtship. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  27. INFLUENCES 64-0215 I think today, our great problem, of what we believe to be juvenile delinquency, is a parent delinquent, a home delinquent. Our people got away from the things that they should have stayed with. The church got lukewarm or cold, and the children got out into the world. Now Hollywood puts out lots of movies, televisions, uncensored, where they curse and use God's Name in vain. And it used to be it was wrong for the children in the holiness churches to go to picture shows, and now Satan got one jump ahead, by bringing it right in the house, in the form of television, and then uncensored, and so forth. And that's the Satan's way of gradually entering in. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  28. GOD'S.COVENANT.WITH.ABRAHAM 27 How He child trained (Abraham) for 25 years. You know, God trains every child that comes to Him."Every son that cometh to God must be chastened of God…" A real child of God doesn't mind the whipping rod, the chastisement, doesn't mind the disappointments; he wades right on just the same. God said so. It's in his heart and nothing can move it, he's just there to stay. And Abraham, that's the way he acted upon God's promise, and that's the way every child of Abraham acts tonight. No matter what takes place, believe it anyhow. 56-0428 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  29. Goals for Parents • Develop A Servant Attitude • Teach them to Seek Wise Counsel • Encourage Children to Resist Wrong Ideas and People • 4. Help them to Exert a Godly Example 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  30. 1. Develop a Servant Attitude LUKE 12:13-15 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  31. Mark 9:33-35 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  32. THE.APPROACH.TO.GOD 36 (Job) …And all Job had was destroyed. God wasn't rebuking Job. He was only purging Job. I like that word, a purge. The branch that bears fruit, then God purges it, that it'll bring forth more fruit. The trouble of it is, we think sometimes God's angry with us. But He's only trying to purge us that we'll bring abundance of fruit, giving us trials. Did you ever know, that every son that cometh to God, must first be tried, child whipping correction? It's not easy… you go out here and say, "Well, I'll mingle around a little bit." God will give you a real old fashion spanking for it. And I tell you, if we had more of that in the natural today, we'd have better children. God wants His household straightened out... Makes you love Him more.55-0123 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  33. 2. Teach them to seek wise counsel Prov. 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  34. Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  35. LEADERSHIP 65-1031A 10 (Moses) And he was a very fine... You know what made him, helped make him a fine boy? He had a good mother to raise him. She taught him about the Lord. And you little boys and girls has got the same kind of mothers to raise you, teach you about the Lord. Just mind them. 11 You know what the first Commandment is in the Bible with a promise? The first Commandment, is, "Not to have any other god but Him…" And the first Commandment that has a promise to it, is to the children. He said, "Children, obey your parents, which may lengthen the days upon the earth, that the Lord thy God has given thee." To mind your parents and… it may give you longer life upon the earth, more time to serve Him. I hope, today, that I'm looking at a bunch of preachers and singers and evangelists of the day that is to come, if there is a day after ours. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  36. PROVERBS 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  37. 3. Encourage them to resist wrong ideas and people. “To raise only a child by intellect without morality is to raise a menace.” T. Roosevelt 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  38. PROVERBS 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. PROVERBS 27:19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man

  39. 4. Help them exert a Godly Influence. II TIMOTHY 2:1-2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 5 Aspects of a Godly Man
