STAND IN THE GAP
Back in 1978 a mother wrote to evangelist Oral Roberts to thank him for touching her son’s life. She wrote, “We didn’t know how to reach God for our son. He’d gotten into drugs, was disturbed in his personality, and had been in an accident and almost lost his life. Now through your prayers our son has found his life again. We’ve got a new son. At that time we couldn’t find God for ourselves and our son couldn’t work his way through the trouble he was in and find God for himself. You were the man who brought us to God. That’s why I say thank you, Oral Roberts.”
God is always the healer and the One Who brings breakthrough. But, God also uses people like Oral Roberts and you as human instruments through which God can work. We are the Body of Christ; His hands and His feet. We can stand in the gap for someone else.
“I sought for a man…to stand in the gap” (Ezekiel 22:30).
