THREE PARTS OF PRAYER

Ecclesiastes 4:12 AV

And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ezekiel 22:30–31 AV

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Eze 22:30-31

Make up the hedge

Stand in the Gap

Poured Out

Hedge Building

A Hedge is a protective wall that keeps out the enemies.

Job 1:9–10 AV

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

When the hedge is broken down, it allows:

Satanaic Harrassment

Ecclesiastes 10:8 AV

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

God’s Vineyard to be trampled

Isaiah 5:5 AV

And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

Spiritual fruit to be ruined

Psalm 80:12 AV

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

Satan's Seat to be established

Revelation 2:13 AV

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

Like Nehemiah, we need to build the wall!

Nehemiah 4:6–9 AV

So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work. But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Gap Standing

In a battle, one soldier would sacrifice his life to stand in the breach the enemy mad in a wall

Psalm 106:23 AV

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

God repented (or relented) more than 30 times in the OT

He doesn’t change his charachter, but he alters his actions toware mankind as a Gap-Stander carries out God’s purpose through intercessory prayer!

If we do our part God will do His part!

2 Chronicles 7:14 AV

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Cup Filling

WE are in a race to fill up the cup of prayer before the cup of God’s wrath is filled up.

Psalm 75:8 AV

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Revelation 5:8 AV

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Acts 10:4 AV

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Ezekiel 47:1–9 AV

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

Eze 47
