“Mind the Gap”

Post date: Jul 01, 2009 2:11:28 PM

One of my spiritual gifts is noticing where the “gaps” are.  For years I approached this from a negative mindset. I complained about what was wrong, what was missing, what needed to be upgraded.  It got bad enough that I brought it to the Lord and asked him to help me stop being so critical.  He told me “I’m showing you where the gaps are so you can do something about it.” 

Have you ever considered that if you notice a problem, you should rejoice?  Rejoice that you are sensitive enough to see the problem.  Rejoice that God is giving you an opportunity to be part of the solution.  Move in the opposite spirit.  Instead of confessing and confirming the problem, ask the Holy Spirit what He would like to see happen and participate with Him in that. 

As intercessors, we are supposed to stand in those gaps. To stand in them, you are going to have to see them. The question is, are you going to agree with the gaps or agree with the solution?
