Build Your Wall

The New King James Version ( Eze 22:28–30.29 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.

I Sought A Man- God was searching for someone that was different from the rest of Israel. Some one who knew God was God and had a better way. They knew that they desperately needed God.

Make A Wall- Build a wall, block a road by building a wall

Wall- A structure that defines boundaries and protects what's inside from the dangers on the outside.

Stand In The Gap- Stand up and not bow down. Make A Stand. Stand before God on behalf of people who are in need of Him.

The Mind-

The New King James Version Ro 12:2.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Conformed Mind- Thinks like how the world thinks. Conforms to the patterns and behaviour of the world around it. With all its fears, anxieties, greed and self centeredness.

The Transformed Mind - is a mind that doesn’t conform- follow- copy or is influenced by the thinking of the world around it. It has walls built in it that have clear defined boundaries based on what Gods Word says. It conforms to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Christians- are on a journey of transforming their mind.

Transforming the Mind-

The New King James Version 2 Ti 1:7. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Sound- Self Discplined

The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), 2 Co 10:3–5. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Strongholds- walls, fortresses the enemy has built

Pulling Down Strongholds- Taking captive our thoughts

12 “Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”

New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), 2 Sa 10:12.
