There are many in the church who are keenly aware of the signs of the times. The question, then, becomes, "If we can see in the Word that the sign of the times aligns with Scripture, what is our response?" Simply put, our response is to pray. It is to pray in the same way that the prophet Daniel prayed as Israel's time of release from captivity was so close at hand. Instead of rejoicing and praising like we might assume would be the case for such a joyous event, Daniel's posture was one of humility and brokenness before God. "We are unworthy sinners," was his plea. In Ezekiel, we hear the Word of the Lord calling out for someone to stand in the gap, though sadly, there was no one. The Lord is calling His church to stand in the gap between Heaven and Earth. It is not a battle for political agendas or economical markets, but for the souls of men, women and children. Now, however, is a time for refining the church so that she can become the kingdom of saints who will stand in the gap, free from the dross of sin.
