THE INTERCESSOR

..and HE(GOD) saw that there was no man,and HE wondered that there was no INTERCESSOR.....
This is a statement in isaiah basically saying the world is falling apart.staring back in ISRAEL saying "judgement is turned away backward and justice stands afar off,for truth has fallen in the street and equity cannot enter"
....and He saw that there was no man,and he wondered that there was no INTERCESSOR.....
An intercessor is literally one who fills the gap.if you ve a walled city and there is a hole on that wall just a little part that's like broken down,actually you can sneak through it and you know there is a vulnerability in the time of war if you have an enemy,what's an enemy looking for? Is it d gates or to try and scale the gates -they are looking for breaches,for a crack or any little opening or broken holes of the wall.they are not stupid to waste their time to enter through the front door but the side walls looking for breaches.so the enemy by nature is constantly watching the integrity of the wall,they are closely monitoring the perseverance,faithfulness of the wall (don't know which ever way this applies to you or your life) he's looking for holes!

We have massive holes in our lives! (trust me this is the truth and am not excluding myself either) that gives the enemy access to do whatever pleases him with our life(you can say that's horrible am a christian and it's not applicable to me,but I know there are 2 people you can't decieve and that's God and yourself)yes! You are a christian with breaches(anger,fear,unforgiveness,malice,indifference, to mention but few)but our lives are not supposed to be filled with any breaches,one of d key definition Christianity can be is a man or woman with built up and repaired walls,why? So that they can be more useful to God and be focused on the outside rather than constantly and inwardly wasting time battling demons but be outward focused.
God said to abraham "I will bless you so that you can also be a blessing to nations".God's pattern is to make you strong so that you are useful.there is a hedge that's supposed to b built up around your life and it's very likely it isn't.you need a strong man! You need someone who can step in and fight off that enemy so that you can focus outward instead of your own issues.
Most of us so called Christians in the church are so weak because we have literally less than 1% of our time that is able to focus on the outward because we are so caught up in our own difficulties and issues.even the healthiest among us-we have issues,(whether it's financial,marital -we have issues!) a

nd there is a dying world out there,we have hundred of billions of people dying and going to hell,lets think about it.... what did we all do about it?did we take a step forward to get anything done about it?were we living on the DEFENSIVE instead of the OFFENSIVE?
What we need is the same thing God was looking for back then.the walls are broken down,the city is in disrepair,israel is without a defender! WHERE IS THE INTERCESSOR?......
The lord jesus christ was in a nutshell....THE INTERCESSOR-He is the man who stands the gap,he is the strongman who came and took the full blow upon himself so that we can gather our wings spiritually and awaken and say "I am in,thank you for rescuing me"
Literally He took the blow-everything! That was intended to bring you down to the pit of hell and ravage your life -He took it! Square on! Even without a weeper,for the joy that was set before Him(Hebrews 12:2)for He valued you so much
One of the things that happens with the life of jesus is that we have the tendency to make him a mousy character,to diminish his manly strength.we are talking about the greatest warrior of all time,the one the old testament call the LORD of hosts,the CAPTAIN of captains,the GENERAL of generals and He is the general that led his troops to the battle with his own life and He is the one that did it,all the rest of the army was overpowered they couldn't fight back this enemy and He stood up single handedly and defeated them.that is our INTERCESSOR! That's our KING!
The same way He stood for you then I want you to know HE STILL STANDS NOW.when you behold the cross and behold the resurrected christ who was ascended to heaven at the right hand of God,you no longer would just remain where you are, you will say "lord do it all within me,for your glory make me strong, make me strong to give"
 God is looking for an INTERCESSOR.. someone who will make up this breach.we need to become a body that's thinking of every single person around us as oppose to ourselves only,coming to the church gathering and saying "I need to b prayed for today" what about "who can I pray for this week? It's a different mindset,its not what the church or the body can do for you but what can you do for jesus christ.think of that attitude shift saying "lord,you made this life,you ve called me more than just to save me,you ve rescued me so that I can become a RESCUE-ER.who needs rescue? Who needs help?who needs me to stand in the gap and take the hedge? THAT'S THE ATTITUDE!! It's not your scheme how you can save it but how you can SPEND it for HIS GLORY
