Man Up with God: Achieving Unbreakable Faith

By Brian E. Sherwood

What the world needs now more than ever is men filled with their Heavenly Father; His Son, Jesus; and the Holy Spirit. We are meant to be strong men, men of great character, and Spirit-filled men who rely on God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit every minute of every day so that we can live a life as powerful and humble sons of God.

As you come to Christ, your enemy is not a human but that of Satan. Satan and his demons will do their best to get inside of you or infiltrate you in any way they can through disease(s) in the body and through mental illness, twisting the truth or lying or doing anything possible to take away your focus on God.

This book is about achieving unbreakable faith. It goes into deep detail, sharing my process and strategy I am using in achieving unbreakable faith in the Heavenly Father, God, and a more in-depth look at how that is and what you have to do to ensure you get the strongest foundation possible so that you can know God is a good God and that He is the truth, the way, and the light.

Make sure your life counts by becoming the son of God that He created you to be. Do this for yourself, for your family, and for all of your descendants. You will be leaving a lasting legacy.

To the reverend, I thank God for allowing me to have you as a brother in Christ, mentor, partner, and friend.

To my children—Brianna, Shawna, Serena, and Michael—I love you all; and you make me very proud.

To the you, the readers, may this book inspire you to achieve unbreakable faith in the Heavenly Father.

Preface

This book is for men—all men, young and old alike—to let them know of a wonderful life that can be theirs when they give their life to God and place Him first in their life. God wants to let you know that He loves you and wants you to become the powerful and humble sons of God that He created you to be.

God wants you to have a very deep and meaningful relationship with Him. He wants you to really know Him, His ways, and His words. He wants you to believe in Him, trust in Him, and have loyalty to Him. And with the belief, trust, and loyalty, you will be building a foundation; and that foundation is called faith.

However, it is up to you as to how deep you go in relationship with Him. The deeper you go in relationship with Him, the stronger your foundation will be, and the greater your unbreakable faith will be.

Special Acknowledgment

Iwould like to specially acknowledge one of my favorite Bible scriptures:

Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.

Even when walking through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest, blessing overflow.

Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home. (Psalm 23 TLB)

What a gift and what a blessing to have the unbreakable faith of these words and of God’s love for us to know that, no matter what, we will always have God as our Father.

Introduction

Iam blessed and grateful that the Holy Spirit is moving within me and using me to write this book with the intention to bring men to God.

I am extremely honored and blessed to God for leading you to pick up this book. I encourage you to thumb through it and begin to read it. My belief is that, as you read, you will be filled with the Heavenly Father and His love for you.

I believe today, in the year of 2021, that the world is in a state of chaos. People are looking to other people (politicians, employers, etc.) to fix all the problems, putting their trust and belief in them, whereas I believe they should be putting their trust and belief into God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. And I believe the enemy, Satan, has caused this chaos. It is the enemy’s focus to steal, kill, and destroy everything good (John 10:10).

What the world is in need of now more than ever is men filled with Christ to lead and guide (be a shepherd) themselves, their families, their employment, their communities, and their country to be strong men, men of great character, and Spirit-filled men.

I hope that, if you have not accepted Christ into your life, after reading this book, you will accept Christ and that, if you have already accepted Christ into your life but may have been ignoring His calling for your life, you will fulfill that calling and establish a deeper relationship with Him.

Jesus is a builder of men—men of great courage. Call unto Him to build you into the powerful/humble man He wants you to be.

Having a deep personal relationship with God is amazing; however, it is not without hard work. On my part, I had to be humbled, lose my ego, and not be self-reliant. I am now a better man, better husband/boyfriend, and a better father full of faith, trusting that God, my Heavenly Father, is always there for me and will provide me whatever I need.

In my first book, Man Up: The Journey to Becoming a Son of God, there is a small chapter titled Faith, and this book is a continuation of that chapter. I am going into deeper detail, sharing my process and strategy I am using in achieving unbreakable faith in the Heavenly Father, God; a more in-depth look at how that is; and what you have to do to ensure you get the strongest foundation possible.

I hope, after you’re done reading this book, that you will have
