IN THE GAP?

I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none." Ezekiel 22:30 (New King James Version)
How can we live a life, which imitates, the most influential Gap Minister in the existence of mankind? Who is this great Gap Ministry Warrior and what did he do? His name is Jesus and his life is an example of in the gap ministry. He intervened between us and eternal condemnation. He laid it all down and give himself unconditionaly. John 15:12 & 13 says: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. His example is deeper,extreme and way more profound than this. Laying down your life for a friend is easy, but what about for an undeserving person?
Romans 5:6-8 says: You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
A Generational Warrior will get in the gap, not just for his family and friends, but for anyone who the Holy Spirit leads us to. How can you intervene, between those who are lost without Christ and Gods impending judgment? Voice your opinion... How do you breach the gap?

Prioritization Soup

I have recently been ministering the "Priorities Scale" speech alot. When someone is not doing well, spiritually or physically, as a counselor I ask what have been the top ten things in your life recently. I am not talking about what is it that would sound wonderful and would make me happy to hear. I need to know what has been your priorities in the last week or two. In most of the cases, the most important spot, numero uno, is mixed up somewhere in the Prioritization Soup of your life. The almighty God has lost his spot in the very top, where he belongs. Once you loose site of the first spot, it is amazing how the rest of it becomes a soup with all kinds of stuff. It is like a math problem... you mess up on the first part of the equation and it just will not work out, no matter how hard you try. How do you know what is number one on your scale? When you wake up on a day off, at a comfortable time, on a day which purposefully has been reserved for rest... what is the first thing which comes to your mind? That will determine numero uno. If it is the girlfriend or the last level you played in your video Game or the plans you have later on that evening or how are you going to get through your most current situation, that is your number one. If it stands in your mind, then it finds it's way into your heart and it stays sealed there. As your mind continues to awaken you might be surprised as to how God, did not even make it into the top ten. So, what are your priorities and in what order is your scale in today? Did you start off wrong this morning and realized it and adjusted your priorities? Or is God a piece of celery in your soup. Lets hear your voice.

Is God in the hearts of this Generation?

I recently sat down with a group of Sunday School youth, in a church, ranging from 13-17 years old. I got them into a circle of chairs and grabbed a piece of paper and asked them to describe what is important to them as a generation. I told them this list, was going to be the voice of their generation, for the future generation, to read and get a glimpse into what was important to them. The list included very obvious things like: Ipods, cell phones, text messaging, my space, XBox, Halo, Shoes and many more things. Though these are Sunday School youth, in a church, who have alot of youth oriented programs, interestingly, they failed to make any mention of the church, God, christianity or the Bible. Is it that this generation finds it difficult to truly be sold out for Christ or are they too distracted, or maybe just misunderstood. Maybe they have a passion for Gods stuff, but they express it differently from previous generations. What is it? What is the true voice of this generation in relationship to God's things. Let your voice be heard, no matter which generation you represent today. Is God in the hearts of this Generation?
