Faith to Stand in the Gap—by Jacques Genis

Ezekiel 22:30 God is looking for someone who will stand in the gap even if it's uncomfortable, inconvenient.

Where does this faith come from?

The engine room of faith= proximity, closeness, connection and walking closely with Jesus, guided by his Spirit.

Genesis 6:9, 22 Noah walked faithfully with God; he did everything just as God commanded him.

Moses stood in the gap, and was the signpost for the Messiah.

Hebrews 11:25–27 He saw him who is invisible. When we truly see God, his magnificence, wonder.

Small steps of faith=with small consistent actions that seem insignificant, don't despise small beginnings.

Mark 1:40–45 The leper took the first step in faith towards healing.

The future is shaped by everyday decisions we make.

Faith that perseveres. James 1:12 Despite discomfort, perseverance is messy and should not be done alone.

1 Corinthians 15: 38 your labour in the Lord is not in vain.
