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"
In Ezekiel 22, this chapter, tells us again of the sins the people of Israel committing, and how well they deserved the judgments coming to destroy them, and how much they needed these judgments to refine them. The prophets were not only deceivers, but devourers as well. They were suppose to be intercessor's for God; however they became unmindful of God.
Their actions were the same as some of our Church leaders today. Not only them but the Christians that make up the church as well. They violated the Law of God. They didn't care about the right and wrong in what the people were doing, therefore the people didn't care. They were doing things in God's name, that wasn't in no way in God's name. They overlook God's Sabbaths, and became like wolves and destroying it's prey.
God had no one to stand in for Him, so He authorized the prophet to judge the bloody city. Jerusalem is called the city of bloods, because of the crimes in general were bloody crimes. My friends, this is not a replay of a Bible Story! This is what is happening now in our church's, in our own lives, and within our own city's
Sin makes a gap in the hedge of protection where good things run out and evil things pour in. There is a way of standing in the gap; by repentance, and prayer, and reformation. Moses stood in the gap for his people against the wrath of God. I pray that we all be mindful of God, no matter what our calling, because as Christians we must always be ready to fill that "Gap In The Hedge Of Protection."
Amen!!
