Take a Stand Between the Glory and Sinful Men.

A plague of sin and death is sweeping across our nation and the world today. This is no time to run or hide. This is the time for you and I to enter the weeping zone With our priestly censers of worship and take our stand between the living and the dead, between the weight glory of God and the unprotected flesh of sinful men. The moment Aaron carried the coals from the fire of the altar and mixed In the incense of worship and prayer, he became a bridge between two worlds.

God has a heart to see all men saved, but he depends on you and I to fulfill our ministry of reconciliation in the weeping zone. He has called us to become bridges between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.

The greatest bridge of all is Jesus Christ, our great high priest who ever live to intercede for us before the father. (See Heb. 7:25) when you and I enter the weeping zone, we come alongside the Great intercessor and face the throne, reaching out for God with one hand and for men with the other. We are called to intercede in the worship until God and man have met together.

When you stand in the gap, you are literally stopping the judgment of God and moving aside the obstacles of the enemy In the second heaven. As we noted earlier, John said, "we beheld His glory......full of grace and truth" (Jn. 1:14b).

If two components of God's glory are grace and truth, then that explains why there always had to be a veil separating man from God's glory. The world needs God's grace, but his truth is attached to it. The truth is we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (See Rom. 3:23). We need his grace but we can't stand the "truth" his truth ois equivalent to His judgment, and apart from God's grace through Jesus Christ. None of us have a chance. That means that if God's manifest presence - the thing we are praying for - rushes out and encounter unrepentant flesh. Then the truth or judgment of God will instantly obliterate it just as light obliterates darkness.

If you really want an outbreak of the glory of God in your church and city, you will have to forget about what anybody else except God thinks. Real revival happens only when true worshipers forget about man and turn their full attention and adoration towards God. We must forget about the opinions and approval or disapproval of people. We need to forget what they look like, forget what they are saying, and forget what they are thinking. Only one opinion matters.

I wish that God's people would ignore everything but what God wants. It is time for the centrality of Christ Jesus to so overwhelm and overpower us that we become totally. Disconnected from this distraction of the realm of man. I'm not talking about becoming so religious that we are absolutely no-good to God or man. Some people say that you can become so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good, but I'm sure that is possible. In fact, that phrase is a good description of the "weeping zone" that place between the porch of man and the altar of God. Can I tell can I tell you what you do in that position? The weeping zone is a place for intercession before God's throne where you step into the gap to intercede for others.

Sort:  

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life
