Who will walk with the ark? who will stand in the gap? who will say," send me Lord! here I am"?
Let us pray first that O lord wake us up from our sleep in the name of Jesus! Let your word reveal unto us the purpose it will fulfill in Jesus Name! Amen
I would Like to thank Sir, Dr. Gogte for sharing this message with us which I will share with all today in Jesus Name! Glory be to Jesus!
We will read the following passage from the Bible! Joshua 3:1-17
Jos 3:1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Jos 3:2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Jos 3:3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
Jos 3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
Jos 3:5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Jos 3:6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Jos 3:7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
Jos 3:8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
Jos 3:9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Jos 3:10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Jos 3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
Jos 3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Jos 3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
Jos 3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Jos 3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
Jos 3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Jos 3:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

Only one thing required are the willing priests, whose obediance will make a way for the entire camp in Jesus Name! Praise the Lord!
Jos 3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
Jos 3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Jos 3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
Who will walk with the ark? who will stand in the gap? who will say," send me Lord! here I am"?
For it shall come to pass as the Lord has promised!
Jos 3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Jos 3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
Jos 3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Jos 3:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
And in no time! Just as the feet of the priests dipped in the brim of water of the overflowinf floods!
Jos 3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
There was the way out!
Jos 3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Jos 3:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
No matter what our situation is , no matter what the world around seems, no matter how hopless the situation might be, no matter our system is corrupt, no matter what floods of destruction we are facing we can all change it today by getting down on our knees today,we have the way out in the new covenant with Jesus! Amen!
We only need dedicated saints levites of the Lord to carry His word in prayer, His ark, to change every calamity rising around us and our brethern in Jesus Christ!
Its not how many, its not the Quantity of the warriors in prayer but he Quality of the warriors in Jesus Name! Amen! No matter if there are two, all and everything can change in Jesus Name!
Jdg 7:6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
My Father !My Father enable me to take my decision, to be a levite an obey your will, to get down on my knees or to follow from 2000 cubits? To be on knees upholding your will your word or to be a nominal christian following from a distance? Please let your word reveal your purpose to be done in Jesus Name!
Let us ask ourselves and decide shall we be on our knees interceeding for the brethern in Christ? Shall we be the Saints in Jesus Christ? Or to be just a nominal christain in Jesus Christ!
May the Lord Lead you and make His will be done in our new
Group Intercessors group (Standers-Standing the gap.) for Jesus ,His Glory, His Kingdom in Jesus Name!Amen!
Are we ready for His will? for His Kingdom? For Jesus The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
