GOD to be magnified in our hearts and mind as we go forward carrying out HIS will. Let's be the person the LORD is looking for ...30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Isaiah 9

.

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Luke 2

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

LORD to shine HIS glorious face upon all...

Merry Christmas to all the brethren on this forum.

God reveals over people because he finds none of them to show compassion for the wandering or lost because of sins.

Esther. C.L Oliver's comment on 2014-12-31 07:00:19:

Praise GOD before Christ came nobody could stand in the gap, but after the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST, the barrier was broken by HIS blood, now as many as will make themselves available to be GOD 'S mouth or legs or hands HE will use to deliver others

Nwachukukwu Moses I's comment on 2014-11-25 12:01:22:

It beats my imagination how with so many preachers and ministers,the burden for souls in the heart of God have not yet been lifted.why are there no men who would stand in the gap when there are men here and there?it is because though men are present every where,they are not available for God to use them.

God is looking for a man who would avail his herself.No matters the person low level of education,background,weaknesses.What matter is the person availability.So let 's avail ourselves,so that we could b use by him.

Before this verse was Gods reaction towards Israel's leaders,who lack an iota of truth in whatever they did or said. Consequently, God ws looking for that man,that leader like Moses, who will rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land.

Debbera Brown's comment on 2011-07-18 09:00:34:

GOD looked for a man among them. Likely through HIS eyes into eternity and found none. Jesus the SON of God and Man was the only one able to stand in the gap before GOD. This a profound verse.
