Repentance is key in this hour from His people because He has given His people power to stand in the gap! Ezekiel 22:30 says "I sought from among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it, but I found none." The previous verses describe the condition of the people which sounds much like America and around the world . We are in tribulation, and the very nature of God demands that He judge sin and destroy it, but His heart of great mercy and love looks for ones that will walk before Him with His Truth, Love, and Mercy and Stand in the Gap to give Him a choice! He wants a Choice, so that all that could come would come unto Him. He said He sought for a man that would STAND BEFORE HIM on BEHALF OF.... WE, His people are to stand between God and the people! We are Priests and Kings. In Numbers 16:46-48, " Moses told Aaron to take the censor, put fire upon it and lay incense on it, ( the incense representing intercession,) and run into the midst of the congregation to make atonement for the people. We are not the atonement, we are His voice of decreeing and declaring His Truth to bind the works of darkness that try to hold the people captive. As he swung the censor back and forth, he created a beautiful picture of our Lord hanging on the cross between 2 theives, one seeking redemption, the other dying in unbelief. Aaron stood between the living and the dead and the plague was stayed. We as His people need to stand in the Gap with HIS WORD OF POWER THAT WILL BRING DELIVERANCE! God is working on the hearts of the sleeping church and the unsaved to make them ready for the Redemption. The fields are becoming white for harvest because of the troubles on the earth. God is using all of this to break them down and soften their hearts to bring them in. Satan would love to disrupt the timing of the Lord and push His agenda ahead, but this is not his time, This is a time that God is shaking it all up, looking at the body to watch what she will do, giving her a chance to repent and to come into her place of Holiness and Righteousness to do the works of His hands! To occupy till He comes!
Isaiah 26:9 says : for only when your judgements are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness," so we are falling on our faces asking that in Your judgement oh God, remember Mercy, just as You did over our souls! Isaiah 9:1-2 says: But in the midst of Judgement there is the PROMISE and the certainty of the Lord's deliverance, and there shall be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time the Lord brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time He will make it glorious by way of the Sea of Galilee the land beyond the Jordon, Galilee of the nations.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light: those who dwelt in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the Light shined!" As we stand in the Gap the Lords Light and Deliverence will come to those that are crying out!
At the beginning of the year the Lord spoke to me that he was going to reveal Himself letting many literally see Him. He gave me Isaiah 52:6 "Therefore My people shall know what My name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold I AM!
As all of these things are coming upon the world, the church needs to repent and come back to Holiness and Righteousness living for Him in full surrender, so we can take our rightful place to stand in the gap so the the backsliden and the unsaved would have thirst and hunger, sight and hearing returned to them so they could repent and return to the Lord!
THIS IS A CALL THAT SO MANY CHRISTIANS NEED TO GRASP, THAT WE ARE TO BE REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH!
EVERYDAY YOU ARE PREACHING THIS WORD STEVE AND PRAYING FOR THESE PEOPLE TO COME TO THE LORD, AND I THANK GOD THAT YOU ARE BY GOD"S GRACE BRINGING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OUT OF THE VALLEY OF DECISION INTO GLORIOUS SALVATION! YOU ARE PREACHING THE WHOLE GOSPEL MAKING DECIPLES-- NOT CONVERTS! THANK YOU STEVE FOR NEVER GIVING UP!! SUSAN Y.
