CONTENTS
I sought for a man among them who would build up the hedge and stand in the gap before Me for the land so that I would not destroy it, but I found no one.
EZEKIEL 22:30
GOD IS IN pursuit of you. The heart of God is searching for those who would answer the call to stand in the gap. The gap is the breach between God and our society. Satan has blinded the hearts of many. Our generation has become highly humanistic. Many want power without God. Many come to the church for an experience rather than a relationship with the true and living God.
If someone doesnt occupy the gap, destruction can occur. Someone must stand in the gap between God and man to cry for mercy and grace for this generation. God is seeking women who will take up the mantle of prayer to release healing, deliverance, and glory upon the earth.
The noteworthy life of Anna the prophetess is a prophetic picture of standing in the gap that is of benefit to the church today. In one of the darkest times of human history, when Israel was waiting on the promised Messiah, a time of great transition and pain, God raised up Anna. God is releasing the spirit of grace and supplication upon women to sustain long seasons of prayer and fasting. They will pray and proclaim the revelation of Jesus to a lost and dying generation.
Become a Woman Who Moves the Hand of God
This book will focus on the power of a consecrated life. It will focus on what happens when a woman dedicates her life in service to the Lord. Anna did not have political influenceshe had spiritual influence. Anna was a woman of persistence, hope, and power. Her prayers and fasts were instrumental in birthing the first coming of Christ. God is mustering an army of women with the Anna anointing who will cry out until the knowledge of the glory of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea (Isa. 13:15; Hab. 2:14). Those with the Anna anointing will be set as watchmen in the temple, giving the Lord no rest until revival breaks out in the land. They will labor in intercession for the release of Gods power to win the lost, revive the church, and impact society with the gospel of the kingdom. These women will touch the heart of God as they cry out with heartfelt prayers for the sins of this nation. They will be equipped with fire, zeal, and power to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ to those who look for redemption. God is awakening a prayer movement that will release the power of His kingdom. Through the power of prayer we will see righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost on the earth once again. The modern-day Anna will pray effective, fervent prayers that will make tremendous power available to this generation (James 5:16).
We have reached a critical point in our nations history. We need people who will once again contend for the faith. Contend means to fight for something while striving against the difficulties that hinder its release. The modern-day Anna will have a burden to see this generation walk in everything that God has purposed. Her main objective is to pray for the advancement of the kingdom of God. She makes a lamentation concerning our powerlessness and spiritual barrenness.
This is a time of transition into the fullness of new covenant power. Jesus represents a transition from the old covenant to the new covenant. A modern-day Anna will fast and pray to see the fullness of the new covenant implemented upon the earth.
The new covenant is more glorious than the old covenant. People under the new covenant experience Gods glory, miracles, healing, prophetic ministry, and much more. The glory of the new covenant is the transforming power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. As part of the new covenant, God promises to write His Word on our hearts (Jer. 31:33).
In His sovereign power the Lord stirs nations and people to be His agents on the earth. I believe that an army of praying, prophesying, and preaching women will be His weapons of indignation. Indignation is defined as strong displeasure at something considered unjust, offensive, insulting, or base; righteous anger.
When the Lord wants a task completed and His purposes fulfilled, He will awaken a person or people to accomplish His will on the earth. The Lord is mustering an army to cry out in prayer and intercession against the wicked schemes of the enemy in the land. This army will serve God in fasting and prayer, as did Anna the prophetess until revival and glory fill the earth.
