Day 2

Thank you brother J1 means a lot

Hope this helps The Bulletproof Guide to Being a Warrior of God 1. The Seven Holy Virtues • Humility – Being modest and respectful. Understanding that skills, talents, and your good qualities are gifts from God. • Generosity – The act of giving freely and selflessly, showing kindness and compassion towards others. • Kindness – Wanting the best for others and being considerate, compassionate, and showing goodwill towards others. • Patience – Remaining calm and composed when resolving conflicts. • Chastity – Maintaining self-control and pure thoughts while valuing the dignity of others. • Temperance – Taking all things in moderation and to the point of goodness. • Diligence – Being hardworking, dedicated, and following God’s will, even if it means sacrificing comfort. “The greatest prisons have no locks—just men too afraid to leave.” “A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.” – African Proverb ⸻ 2. Commitment to Growth, Discipline, and Faith Spiritual and Personal Growth • Strive to be a better man and grow closer to Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior. • Become the best son and brother you can be, honoring your family with your actions. • Work towards becoming a strong, disciplined, and faithful future husband and father. • Lead by example—be the first to take action in areas where your family needs to grow together spiritually and personally. • If the household needs improvement, be the first to step up in chores, responsibilities, and serving others at home. • Do what needs to be done without being asked—clean, help, organize, and be reliable. • Don’t wait for change; be the catalyst for it. • Don’t complain about things needing to change—be the change you want to see. • Strong men stay single, silent, and out of reach until they fix their finances, body, and mind. “The Devil’s greatest trick wasn’t making man fall, but making him comfortable on the ground.” “A man who lacks purpose distracts himself with pleasure.” “A person who is not disturbed by the opinions of others, who remains calm and steady, is the one who has conquered the mind.” ⸻ 3. Faith Through Obedience • The devil doesn’t care if you show up to church or flip through your Bible—as long as your life stays the same. • Faith isn’t proven by attendance or knowledge. It’s proven by obedience. Luke 9:23 (NIV) “Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’” • Picking up your cross means choosing God’s will over your own desires, even when it’s difficult. It’s about sacrifice, perseverance, and trusting that walking in alignment with God’s purpose leads to true fulfillment. Colossians 3:2 (NIV) “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” • Satan believes in God. It’s not about believing in God; it’s about believing and obeying God. • Wouldn’t you care if someone you loved was hurting themselves? Then why ask, “Why should God care if I sin?” “The greatest men in history weren’t chosen because they were ready. They were ready because they were chosen.” “Sin feels like freedom until you try to stop.” “Even if you are not what you should be, you should not despair… Is He, who for your sake created the great universe that you behold, incapable of saving your soul?” – St Peter of Damascus, A Treasury of Divine Knowledge ⸻ 4. Overcoming Temptation and Weakness • If you mess up your sleep schedule, don’t stress or beat yourself up. Take a breath, pray, and get back on track. Don’t let one setback spiral into another. • Every time I relapse, it’s because of an overwhelming feeling of loneliness. But one of the most important things we must understand is that loneliness is the human condition. • Filling that void with pointless debauchery and frivolity will not bring deep fulfillment and joy; only Jesus Christ can sustain us and fulfill us. • Pray to the Lord for strength and ask Him to remind you before you relapse that you are placing your seed on an altar for Satan. This thought alone should wake you up. • We are not bound by our fleshly nature and desires. • Do not tell God how big your storm is—tell the storm how big your God is. “The devil hands us the handcuffs; it’s up to us whether we put them on or not.” “The path to heaven feels like hell, while the path to hell feels like heaven.” “Anytime urges come, pray faster than you react; this way, temptations will not overtake you.” “No matter what bitterness has befallen you, no matter what unpleasantness has happened to you, say, ‘I shall endure this for Jesus Christ!’ and it will be easier for you.” – St Anthony of Optina ⸻ 5. Breaking the Chains of Sin • Reject Satan’s lies that since you’re imperfect, you “might as well” give in to sin. “The chains you refuse to break will one day feel like home.” • Discipline is everything. Every choice builds or weakens you. “Your habits are silent architects of your fate—each action a brick, each indulgence a crack. Build with intention or be buried by the collapse.” • God will send you places you don’t feel qualified to go. “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” ⸻ 6. Becoming God’s Masterpiece • Every struggle is shaping you into the man God wants you to be. • Do not resist the process—be patient and endure. “Does the stone realize every strike of the hammer and chisel is shaping it into a masterpiece?” “There are different paths to salvation. The Lord saves some in a monastery, others in the world… You can be saved anywhere, only do not abandon the Savior. Cling to the robe of Christ, and Christ will not leave you.” – St. Barsanuphius of Optina ⸻ 7. Living with Purpose and Joy • Life is a canvas, and you are the artist. “Every stroke, color, and line represents a decision that will help shape your unique masterpiece.” “The world owes you nothing. It is waiting for you to create your own destiny.” “Don’t pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a hard one.” – Bruce Lee • There will always be a reason to smile or cry—but always choose to smile. • If you can choose to be sad, you can also choose to be happy. • Always dance in the rain; don’t cry in the storm. • Run as fast as you can toward Jesus. “You might glance over and see someone running with you. That’s the one.” ⸻ 8. The Call to Action • God will not have His work made manifest by cowards. • Always, always, do what you are afraid to do. “Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson ⸻
