Stand in the Gap! -Ezekiel 22:30

Ezekiel 22:29-30

²⁹ The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. ³⁰ So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 

Our land is falling into such a deep pit of sin. And we see this every day if you don't believe me watch the news sometime. I can't watch the news normally because it hurts to watch all the sin that happens. And this same thing is in Ezekiel, time is just repeating itself all over again because we have forgotten our history. And now the Lord is yet again looking for a man to stand up and shine some light in this dark world. He is looking for someone to make a wall and to stand in the gap. I know that we all know someone who isn't saved; we have to stand in the gap invite them in to safety behind the wall.
Now " Few of us will ever be called to save a nation....but one man can make all the difference." Charles Stanley. Will we be the person to stand in the gap? Will we be the flashlight or will you try to shine like a lighthouse and bring people to safety. Not just the people we like, what about the people we don't like? 
Read this," You must really hate someone if you don't want them to come to heaven." 
Would you really hate someone that badly? Enough to wish that they died, then shame on you. 
Because God tells us to "Love our enemies and bless those who curse you,and pray for those who spitefully use you,and persecute you."- Matthew 5:44. 
Now the world doesn't need more successful people who hate. The world needs the people who are kind and loving, and they can be successful people too. 
A person came up to me recently and they just seemed to have the meanest attitude ever, and we tried to be kind to him, and slowly his attitude changed. Not to an attitude of a know it all but he became kinder himself. And slowly everyone started liking him. 
Why don't you be the person in the gap bring people to Christ. Bring the people who are always grumpy, angry, sad you name it. But bring that person to Christ by first being nice to them. Stand in the gap ,be the person who stands on behalf of the land or that person. Help them to grow; and lets change the world.

     

Psalms 100:3

Psalm 100 it is a Song of Thanksgiving For God's Faithfulness to His People. But I want to start off with verse 3 for a very specific reason. "Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people the sheep of His pasture." vs3. Verse 3 starts with those several strong words Know that the Lord, He is God. If anyone claims to be God,and we know that are not, because of this verse. Say this part of verse slowly because people will claim to be God, and they are false, but yet they are convinced that they are right. How do I know, because I've met someone who said this to me. And he is convinced that he is god. He also told me that he "made himself".WHERE IS MY WRONG BUZZER WHEN I NEED IT?! Look at the second part of the verse 3 "It is He who made us, and not we ourselves."
WE didn't make ourselves! There is no way we could have made ourselves! IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! But to a nonbeliever I guess it makes perfect sense. But to a Christian we know that we had to be made by someone. And when we are made, and brought fourth into this world and we learn who the real God is we are called His people the sheep of His pasture. That last bit of the Verse 3 "the Sheep of His pasture" it shows us that we are His. We belong to Jesus,we are his sheep. And just so you know sheep are D.U.M.B.!  

Has anyone else seen Veggietales "Dave and the Giant Pickle" and you remember how the sheep always fall over. Well guess what We are Those Sheep! We fall over, we,are, Dumb! But God is Faithful ( the title of this Psalm) and He watches over us. David copied Jesus' walk,David stood the sheep back up and God helps us to stand back up. So Readers I leave you with this. Know that the Lord,He is God and His faithfulness endures forever.
