Ezekiel 22:30 ” I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.”

Both Isaiah and Jeremiah had similar encounters with God’s Divine disappointment and heartbreak over the people’s widespread corruption, spiritual apathy, and failure to seek Him. Isaiah laments that, “You’ve hidden Your face from us because of our hardened hearts and sinfulness.” (Isaiah 64:7) And in Jeremiah 5:1 he’s challenged by God to find even one solitary soul in Jerusalem who stands in truth, righteousness, and integrity…but sadly, there is not one upright man in the city, for all are corrupt. But like all three of these prophets who meditated for the people before God…in Exodus 32:11-14, Moses stood in the breach before the Lord to keep His wrath from destroying the people, acting as both mediator & intercessor, and showing the immense power of intercessory prayer. (Psalm 106:23) That’s because, when we pray for someone and intercede on their behalf…we really have no idea the influence, significance, and spiritual clout it contains.
