Stand in the gap

Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

God was about to send His judgment upon Jerusalem. He didn’t want to, but because of His righteousness He had to.

Who is willing to build up a wall of prayer? Who is willing to make up a hedge between their family and judgment? All it takes is ONE man or ONE woman that will stand in the gap for their family. Someone that will stand in the gap for their city. A church that are willing to stand in the gap for their country. Can God count on you? Can your city count on you? Pastor Gøran Andreassen
