Andy Blakey – standing in the gap

2 Cor 10 v 1-6

Nehemiah built the wall and built in unity

Breach in the wall and someone physically put themselves In the gap so the the enemy can not come in.

Someone to stand in the gap so that the wounded can get back.

Don’t see it as we are barley holding on but we are a mighty army and our weapons are more powerful

Eph 6 – not fighting against men but spiritual things.

We need to take out thoughts captive

2 Corinthians 10:5
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,”

when you pray be bold, say I’m going to stand in the gap so that they will eb set free from the things that bind them.

When we pray we can be very much a “I need it know” culture Jesus teaches that we must be persistent

Sometimes when we pray, we pray once, twice, but do we stand in the gap for that person until they are set free?

Stand in the gap so that we will see the captives set free so that Isiah 41 will be fulfilled

God has given us the immense privilege to stand there as a priest before God on behalf of others.
