Stand in the Gap

Standing in the Gap. Thats a saying from days gone by. But wow is it relevant for today. You know it means to go to God in prayer for someone else ie., your spouse, your children, your family members, your friends someone thats on your heart to pray for. Intercessory prayer is another phrase for it. but I believe its really getting down and serious, calling out to God for others. Analyze your prayer time to find out how much of your praying is for yourself and how much is for others. 60/40, 50/50, 80/20 God so hears those who will stand in the gap for others. Lets be sensitive for the needs of others. Iv'e discovered if your genuinely concerned more for others and will live like it, God will honor your life. And you'll discover standing in the Gap is a most precious calling. It was said of Charles Spurgeon, he would have literally hundreds of people praying while he was preaching, and men would come literally running to the altar to be saved. Interceding for anyone?
