'GONE INTO THE GAPS'

Yesterday’s message from Ezekiel 13:3–5 reminded us that there are gaps in the wall, places where the enemy pushes in to attack God’s people. But it is the calling of the church to stand in those gaps, becoming the barrier that shields the weak and defends God’s children. Love is above everything and God is love, the foundation of the Gospel. Church is not something we play, it’s something we live. Just as the apostles gave their lives for this message, we too are called to lay ours down, even when it means facing opposition.

Too often, when sin is confronted, we take offense instead of conviction. But the church is not meant to be comfortable, it is meant to be sacrificial. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, and if we will not stand in the gaps, who will? To be Spirit-led means we will face resistance, but it also means we stand as living walls, declaring to the enemy, “You will not touch God’s children.” The question remains: will you step into the gap, even if it costs you everything?
