WEEK 1

 RIPPING AND ROARING

  

REVVING THE ENGINE 

In my opinion, there is no more masculine​ s​ ight, smell, and sound than that of the muscle car drag races. The 
sight of the thick smoke filling the air mixed with the pungent smell of gasoline and burning rubber from tires 

peeling out and then there's the rumble and the mighty ROAR of the muscle car engine as it rips and roars 
down the track at staggering speeds.​ ​ As amazingly manly as all this sounds, there is something even more 
immensely manly. God wants to breathe His Spirit into the spirit of every man, just as He did with first man 
Adam to every man today. God desires to place the ​roar​ of heaven inside of each and every one of us, the roar 

of His Spirit which ignites the true identity of a man. 
The Hebrew word for spirit, breath, and wind is ​ruach​. T​ he basic meaning of ​ruach​ is both ‘wind’ or ‘breath,’ 
however digging a little deeper into the word, it is described more as the ​power​ or f​ orce​ encountered i​ n​ the 
wind or the breath. Ruach is also often translated as “spirit" in the English Bible. We could then say r​ uach​ is 
the roar breathed into us by the power of Almighty God. Every man can have a raw and relentless roar placed 
deep down inside of his spirit that is authoritatively declaring his identity as a man, a man on a mission with a 
mandate issued by Heaven itself.  With that said, I say...gentlemen start your engines and let's get roaring!

WEEK 2

MASCULINE ​MAN​DATE

  

REVVING THE ENGINE 
Every man is given a mandate. When we say a man-date we are not talking about you and your buddy going 
to grab a coffee or attending a sporting event together, no that's not a mandate. By definition a mandate is an 

official order given to fulfill a mission and the authority to carry it out. From the very beginning God has 
been issuing mandates. We see with Adam God commissioned him to work the Garden of Eden and to be 
“fruitful and multiply” God also gave Adam dominion and authority over all living creatures. God continues 
to issue a mandate to every man to be the protector and provider of his family. For the Christian the mandate 
from God resounds all the louder. God mandates his followers to not only to be providers and protectors but 
to be priest and prophets to their family. God is mandating the Christian man to point his family to Christ in 
all that he says and in all that he does.  A man's family is always his first and foremost mission/ministry. 

A Christian man following in the footsteps of Christ should realize that Christ himself was a “man on a 
mission” and mandate from Heaven. Jesus boldly proclaimed His mandate and why he manifested on earth 
when He read from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue as He read “​The Spirit of the Lord is 

upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news…”  Jesus was mandated to declare that the 
Kingdom of God had come from Heaven to earth to proclaim the good news that the oppressed are free and 

the blind can see. 

Jesus mission in essence was to destroy the works of the devil and darkness. As His disciples that very 
mandate was commissioned on to us when Jesus emphatically declared… “Go into all the world” and tell of 
this Good News and light it up and push back the darkness. When a man knows his mission and mandate he 
can walk with power and authority knowing why he is here and what he is called to be doing.  O​ ur mission 
and mandate as Godly men is simple...to know Christ and to make Him known and He promised to give us the 

power (roar) to carry out the mandate.

MANLY M​ ANT​ RA 

 

  

 
 

REVVING THE ENGINE 

We live in an age where true masculinity is greatly under attack, everywhere you look on television or in the 
movies, men and fathers are being undermined and emasculated and are being portrayed as feminized and 
incompetent. The word emasculate means to deprive a man of his male role or identity and to  
make a man weaker or less effective. Neither was God’s original intent for men. God has called men to be 
mighty and full of power and authority to push back the darkness. In the midst of this onslaught of insults 
hurled by this world against the identity of masculinity is a battle plan to have men begin to doubt and 

question their manhood thus causing them to diminish and dismiss their mandate. Amongst these lies  spoken 
from the twisted tongue of the evil one himself are lies and insults such as “you are weak” “you’re not enough” 
“you don't got what it takes” “you'll never measure up” “you can't do it” and “you're such a failure” just to name 

a few. We as men get bombarded daily with these attacks on our minds. 

Yet we don't have to just lie down and take it either; God has equipped us with weapons of warfare to combat 
the lies. The weapons are found in his Word. God has given us authority and power over the darkness we just 
need to now walk in that authority. There are many verses that remind us of these truths and these scriptures 

are to be meditated on day and night. A simple daily repetitive scripture based affirmation or ​man​tra can 
reinforce and bolster your identity as a man of God. A mantra is an affirmative statement that you say to 

yourself for the purpose of encouragement and to remind yourself of the truth. 

A simple mantra repeated to yourself several times a day such as  “I AM A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD FULL 
OF POWER AND AUTHORITY ON A MISSION TO KNOW GOD AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN”, 

may be the start of helping you restore the roar of manhood. 

Using a tool such as a reminder on your phone or using the ECHO Prayer App to prompt you throughout the 
day can assist you in the process of recalling your ​Man​tra until it is deep within the core of who you are.

WEEK 4 

ADVANCING IN AUTHORITY

 

​REVVING THE ENGINE 
As discussed previously in this study the world and the Enemy are on a mission of destruction. The battle 
plan to emasculate men is not merely to pull their “man card” per se but it is to undermine and mock God's 
very design and order of mankind. When a man is portrayed as a weak mindless dufus in media the enemy 
chalks up another point at undermining Gods ultimate authority. Satan was kicked out of heaven for pride and 
wanting to be God; after being booted out his tactic to win over a third of the angels was to undermine God's 

authority. 
When authority is undermined it is then weakened and when it is weak it will then topple over. Satan knows 
that if he can take down the man which is God’s established head of the home, he then can destroy the rest of 

the family and eventually a nation will tumble to him and his ways. 
When a man’s authority is undermined and mocked long enough he eventually will surrender to apathy and 

passivity and simply stand by and let the enemy wreak havoc. 
However, God has given men authority to rise up and defeat the darkness. This authority is not our own it 
was given to us and instilled into us by Christ Jesus whom which all authority has been given and now he has 
deputized us with that same very authority to be all that God has called us to be as men on a mandate to 

advance His Kingdom. Remember we are Mighty Men of God full of Power and Authority.

WEEK 5

MAKING A MAN​IFESTO

  

REVVING THE ENGINE 
The word “manifesto”, comes from the Greek root ​manifestum​, referring to a statement that is clear, evident, 
and is a bold proclamation of one’s values, motives and intentions. Most importantly a manifesto is a call to a 
rebellion, to run with the resistance, for the man of God he is in a rebellion against the ways of this world. 

Not only does the world want to emasculate a man of his role, it also offers other confusing portrayal of a man, 
the “manly man” that drives a big truck, chases woman, drinks lots of beer, swears, spits & gets in fights. 
 That's NOT a man! 

God is raising up a different breed of man who will stand firm and rage against the darkness and stand up for 
what is good and right. One who follows after Christ with an unashamed passion and tenacity. 

If you desire to be such a man perhaps your MANifesto would echo similar sentiments to the one below: 

I boldly and emphatically declare that I will not bend my knee nor will I bow my heart to the ways of 
this world. I will stand firm and resist greed, envy, pride, self-promotion and lust. I will rise up and 
walk with integrity and Christ like character and conduct and be the conquer He has called me to be and 
take Light and Hope into this dark world. My mission and mandate is to know God and to make Him 

known. I will demonstrate Christ-like courage, kindness and love everywhere I go. 

 

Take some time today and start writing out your own MANifesto then post it up somewhere and proudly 
proclaim where you stand and with Who you stand.​

WEEK 6

MIGHTY THROUGH MEEKNESS

 
 
 

REVVING THE ENGINE 
 

There is an old saying that m​ eekness is not weakness 
but power under control​.  Even the highest end luxury foreign sports car only has approximately 700 
horsepower, yes ​only​ 700 because weighing in on the horsepower scale at a massive 7000 horsepower is the 
mighty and meek locomotive train engine. The train engine may not be as sleek, sporty and shiny as the 
sports car but that train engine moves down those tracks towing behind itself thousands of tons of cargo with 
its consistent and steady power and it gets the job done!​ ​Meekness is often understood to be an unwanted 
trait, the meek are the doormat, the push over, the wimp. However, within the context of a biblical vantage 

point the meek are the strong ones that endure and will win in the end. 

 

Jesus Christ was considered a meek man, He was fully man and yet fully God. He was totally human and 
totally divine all at the same time. His omnipotence was confined within his limits if his earthly body. If 

anyone understood meekness, strength and power under control, Jesus surely did. 
As we discussed earlier the world often betrays men as either weak and passive or the other way men are often 

portrayed is by overcompensating their manliness by how loud they can yell and how hard they can stomp 
their feet and beat their chest. This portrayal of man says that you have to shave your head get a bunch of 
tattoos and learn how to fight in the UFC in order to be a man. It's basically saying the tougher you are and 

the harder you hit the more of a man that you are. 

 

However actually walking in meekness with power and authority has nothing to do with how hard you can 
throw an uppercut. It has everything to do with how low you can humble yourself and be a servant leader.​ A​  
man that can control his temper and tongue, as well as his flesh and appetite for worldly pleasure, is truly a 

meek man. Meekness is staying kind, humble and being sacrificial by putting others before yourselves. 
Meekness is not how loud you roar but how long you can roar. It's about consistently showing up and being 

the man God has called you to be in every situation

WEEK 7  

PULLING THE PLUG 

  

REVVING THE ENGINE 
No matter how loud and how powerful a mighty muscle car engine rumbles and roars...it must start with a 
spark from a series of small spark plugs. It's pretty neat stuff how a few sparks mixed with gasoline and some 
pistons pumping that causes combustion to cause an engine to roar to life! Without the spark plugs there is no 
rumble, there is no roar. The spark plug is a small but vital part of the overall concept of an engine running. 
If you pull the plugs you pull the power.  Just like spark plugs being pulled would rob the roar of an engine so 
will sin steal power and authority from a man. Many men rationalize sin saying “this is just a small sin, it's not 

hurting anyone” yet even the smallest of sins is still sin. 
Some major spark plug pullers for men are pride, pornography and the pursuit of power. The key to keeping 
the keys to your roar is staying humble, holy and hungry for God. Also staying accountable to a brother in 

Christ and taking ownership of your short comings and always seeking to have a tender, responsive and 
sensitive heart towards the Spirits redirection. Stay plugged into the power and you will keep on ripping and 

roaring towards the finish line.

RESTORED BETTER THAN BEFORE 

 

 

REVVING THE ENGINE 

Have you ever seen one of those car restoration shows on TV where they take an old dilapidated car that's 
rusted out from bumper to bumper, that they found in back of some junk yard, it looks like it was destined to 
rust back to dust. But then a crew of master mechanics rescues it and tows it back to their shop and they get a 

vision of restoration to bring the car back to its glory days. 
In a matter of a couple months they bring the bucket of bolts back from the dead and restore it into something 
brighter, bolder and better than it had ever been before, in many cases even better then when it first rolled off 

the car showroom years before. 
 

God is a Master Restorer as well, but He doesn't restore old cars He restores the lives of broken men.  Most 
men who have lived some time on this earth and have put in some long miles on this life, probably have made 
many mistakes and have had some accidents in their life. Perhaps early on in life they thought they could do 
anything, they were young, vibrant and full of vitality destined to change the world but after being knocked 
around a time or two by the hard knocks of life they may feel they are left in some backlot of the junkyard just 

rusting away feeling like their purpose is done and gone and they are not good for anything. Life can steal 
your shout and rob your roar, if you let it; by either going through the motions of the mundane or dealing 

with blow after blow of hardship. 
 

However, The Restorer of our souls has a vision for broken men. He desires to make them better men than 
they were ever before. If you allow God to work on you, he will cut out the rusty parts of your life and restore 

them with bright shiny new parts. 
And when God has fully restored and renewed a man, the world has to take a step back and hear him roar 

with love, kindness, and meekness.

WEEK 9 

ROARING ACROSS THE FINISH LINE

 

R​ EVVING THE ENGINE  

The ultimate goal of restoring your roar is so you can cross the finish line of this life strong. The Scripture often likens 
the Christian journey to a long distance race. The race of becoming a mighty man of God is not a 30 second street drag 

race it is more like the Indy 500. This race is a winding race of molding and shaping with sharp turns and curves all 
along the way all meant to mature the man of God. 
 

No one starts a race unless they're planning on crossing the finish line at the end.  
And no one who is in a race wants to lose it. 

You must understand the race in God's kingdom is somewhat backwards.  
He says if you want to win this race you have to lose it. 
 

In order to win this race, you must leave a ​legacy of love.​ You see, this race is not about coming in 1st place; no, it is 
more about being a ​servant leader.​ It's not what we can obtain and gain in this life, it's all about how much we can give of 

our self and ensuring we have served others well.  Yes, in this race the last shall be 1st! So restoring your roar is 
actually less about you and more about you giving up of yourself for others. 
 

Actually it's all about Christ and living a life that roars loud and proud unashamedly pointing back to the  
King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus Christ. 
So roar on my brother, Roar On!
