Standing On The Walls For Every Soul
One of the most powerful roles of prayer is intercession—standing in the gap for others. Intercessory prayer is not just a ministry; it’s a calling for every believer who desires to partner with God in seeing His will established on earth.
In Ezekiel 22:30, God says, “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.” This verse is both sobering and urgent. God was ready to show mercy, but there was no one to pray. That tells us something profound: some divine actions on earth are tied to the prayers of His people.
When we intercede, we become spiritual watchmen—alert, discerning, and ready to cry out for those who cannot or will not pray for themselves. Abraham interceded for Sodom (Genesis 18), Moses interceded for Israel (Exodus 32), and Jesus continues to intercede for us at the right hand of the Father (Romans 8:34).
Standing in the gap means carrying the burdens of others before God. It means praying for your family, your nation, and your neighbors—not out of duty, but out of love. It means being available to the Holy Spirit, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.
Watchmen of Souls, this is our assignment. We are called to pray not just for what concerns us, but for what concerns heaven. Souls are at stake. Nations are at a tipping point. Revival is within reach. But God is still asking, “Who will stand in the gap?”
Let us answer with our lives, our time, and our prayers.
