Who Is Able To Stand?
The other day I was dropping off some decorations at this church called Glad Tidings and I noticed they had a prayer garden. As I was out there, I ended up finding this particular rock with this engraved into it:
“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” Ezekiel 22:30
This has been haunting my spirit. I was thinking about how we are going to have the greatest Judgement come upon the earth. It’s all going to be justified in that moment. Revelation 6 talks about “the kings of the earth, the rich, the mighty, and every slave are going to run away to the mountains and scream, ‘Hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!!’, for His great day of wrath has come. Who is able to stand?”
I know what kind of a person God is looking for. He is looking for someone who has iron in their spirit whom He can entrust with the treasures and the knowlege of God. Someone who is consumed with love for the Lord and stripped of all pride and worldly ambition. Wasits guarded and lamps a’burnin. This is a person who will be a shadetree for many and bring lots of people into safety in that hour. And they will stand in the gap for the nations.
We have got to get a sobriety in our spirits. Father, we do need You very desperately. We actually need you every millisecond. Would you train our arms for battle and expose drunkenness? Fill us with Your Reality, Jesus. Raise up your children and strengthen us in our innerman so that we could be able to stand for You.
