Men of God, America Needs Your Strength
A prophetic call for Christian men to rise up as leaders, protectors, and defenders of truth in America today.
By Pastor Danny Lee
The Hour is Urgent
We are living in a defining moment for America. Darkness is advancing with boldness. Truth is being redefined by those in power. Families are under siege. And while the enemy works tirelessly, too many men of God are silent, distracted, or passive.
But the Kingdom of God has never advanced through passivity. Throughout Scripture, God used men of faith to stand in the gap, speak truth to power, and lead His people. Now it’s our turn.
As I declared in The Christian Father’s Role in Rebuilding a Nation, the state of the nation reflects the state of its men. America will not recover without strong, godly men taking their rightful place.
The Biblical Mandate for Strong Men
1 Corinthians 16:13 says:
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”
This is not a casual suggestion; it’s a wartime command. It tells us to:
Be watchful — Know what’s going on spiritually and culturally.
Stand firm — Refuse to compromise truth for comfort.
Act like men — Embrace courage, responsibility, and leadership.
Be strong — Draw your strength from the Lord.
Real strength doesn’t come from physical power alone — it comes from spiritual authority rooted in intimacy with God.
Faith and Freedom Are Linked
A nation that rejects God cannot remain free. History shows that liberty flourishes where righteousness rules and decays where sin is celebrated. This is why Christian men cannot retreat from the public square.
If the church remains silent in matters of government, education, and culture, we leave the shaping of the nation to those who oppose God’s Word. As I shared in Why “Toxic Masculinity” is a Lie from the Pit of Hell, our culture fears strong, Spirit-filled men precisely because they cannot be controlled by fear or manipulated by lies.
Spirit-Filled Masculinity
The world needs strong men — but not just in a worldly sense. We need Spirit-filled men who walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Word of God.
Charismatic men of God are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness because they:
Hear the voice of God and obey without hesitation.
Pray with power and expect results.
Speak truth boldly, even when it costs them.
Protect the vulnerable without fear of backlash.
This blend of spiritual fire and physical courage is what turns ordinary men into Kingdom warriors.
Your Strength is Needed in the Church
A church without strong men is a vulnerable church. Women are vital to the life of the church, but they were never meant to carry the weight of spiritual warfare alone.
Men, your presence matters. Your leadership matters. Your prayers matter. Your example matters.

Strong Men Protect the Vulnerable
Throughout Scripture, men of God were called to defend the weak:
Nehemiah rallied men to rebuild the walls and protect Jerusalem from attack.
Boaz shielded Ruth from harm in the fields.
David stood against Goliath when others hid in fear.
Today, the vulnerable may be unborn children, the fatherless, the oppressed, or the spiritually lost. We are called to be their defenders, even when it costs us.
What It Looks Like to Rise Up Now
Rising up in this season means:
Leading your home in daily discipleship (see Raising Sons Who Will Not Bow to the Culture).
Engaging in civic life — voting, speaking out, and holding leaders accountable.
Serving in your local church as an anchor of faith and stability.
Living with uncompromised integrity so your life backs up your words.
The Enemy Will Resist You
Don’t expect the culture to cheer when men of God step into their calling. The enemy will push back through criticism, lies, and intimidation. But Ephesians 6:10 reminds us:
“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.”
We don’t fight with fear — we fight with faith.
Conclusion: This is Our Moment
Men of God, America is waiting for you. Your family is waiting for you. Your church is waiting for you. Heaven is cheering for you.
Now is the time to rise up — in prayer, in action, in leadership. We are not here to hide from the darkness; we are here to drive it back.
As Jesus said in Matthew 5:14-16:
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden… let your light shine before others.”
So shine, men. Stand. Lead. Protect. Build. This is our moment.
