Why Aren't More Men Leading Powerful, Transformed Lives? by Patrick Morley

Men, and especially younger men, have become one of our largest neglected people groups. Men are confused about what it means to be a man, much less a man of God. How did they get so confused?

They've run the wrong race (Galatians 5:7). As a result, they've conformed to the values and customs of this world (Romans 12:2). As a result, they've been taken captive by hollow and deceptive philosophy (Colossians 2:8). That yeast has worked its way through the whole batch of dough (Galatians 5:9). As a result, they've exchanged truth for a lie (Romans 1:25). And now it has become a crisis. How do we clear up this confusion?

Some men really don't know how to live their lives. They don't have the knowledge to grasp what it means to follow Christ--not really.

For others, they already know what they need to do; that's not the problem. Their problem is that they lack power to do what they already know they should do.

The Spirit and Power of Elijah by David Wilkerson

The Old Testament closes out with this glorious prophecy: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse" (Malachi 4:5-6).

Jesus said of John, "If you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come" (Matthew 11:14). What Christ was saying is, "John the Baptist has the spirit and power of Elijah upon him—if you could just see it." We are told the angel of the Lord prophesied to Zachariah that his son John would "go forth before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord" (Luke 1:17).

I believe Malachi's prophecy is for today also. I believe that once again God is going to put upon many of his chosen servants the spirit and power of Elijah. And these men and women of God are going to be mightily used to bring about a restoration of families. Divorces will be canceled! Children will be convicted of their rebellion and be restored in love to their parents.
