Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and Ezekiel 22:23-31.
Keansburg, N.J. has a creek bordering it that flows into the tidal waters opposite New York City. When strong storms occurred, it often happened that the waters would rush into the mouth of the creek, flooding the town. To prevent this from happening, a great steel gate was constructed that would completely close the mouth of the creek, preventing the seawater from elbowing its way into town. The gap was covered.
Ezekiel presents this same image of the gap in 22:30. No other verse in Scripture more clearly expresses the meaning of intercessory prayer. When the protective hedge of God’s grace is broken, opening the way for the onslaught of the Enemy, an intercessor needs to stand in the gap, giving protection from the forces without. The intercessor restores the broken connection to God.
The cross of Jesus bridged the gap between heaven and earth. Resurrection-life is yours.
Mondays are dedicated to the reading of the Hebrew Prophets.
In the Season of Easter this year we read Ezekiel 17-32.
