“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.”
Ezekiel 22:30
Intercession is standing in the gap. A gap is a distance between two people or things. Thus, an intercessor becomes the bridge between two people. This is in line with God’s will because He is seeking men who would stand in the gap and intercede for the restoration of that which was lost.
It is the bridging of the gap that saves man from the destruction that comes from sin. The gap which the scripture above speaks about is created by sin.
Sin creates an avenue for Satan to afflict and steal from us. (Ecclesiastes 10:8) An intercessor becomes like a workman that fills up the hedge and stops the serpent. Intercession when properly appropriated, can draw on the mercy of God and overshadow the mistakes of men.
In these last days, God is looking for intercessors who will stand in the gap for souls, nations, and the world at large. Are you that person? If you will open your heart, you can become a tool in the hand of God, for the salvation and liberation of many.
Prophecy 1: Receive grace to become an intercessor in Jesus’ name.
Prophecy 2: As you step out today, may you overcome difficult situations in Jesus’ name.
