I guess if I had to say what the purpose or mission is of Women Who Pray, I would have to say that God
has called me to stand in the gap for my home, local church, community, state, nation and world. He has
commissioned me to call for the wives, mothers, and women in the Church of Jesus Christ to come to the
wall and join me as we watch over our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the world.
In some ways, it is easier just to mind my own business and watch after my own, but Titus 2: 3-5 tells me that the older women are to instruct the younger women, and Matthew 28: 19-20 tells me not only to go ye
but to teach them to observe all things whatsoever He commanded me. In answer to this call, we women
who pray are on a journey across the internet world to recruit women to the wall and train them to fight
the good fight for their husbands, children, parents, siblings, extended families, co-workers, communities,
churches, states, nations, foreign fields, etc.
Why does this responsibility belong to us? Why is this responsibility of such importance to our Heavenly Father? The Lord is looking for people to stand in the gap for their families, cities, states, and nations, in order that they
not be consumed by God’s wrath.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the
fire of my wrath; their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 22:30-31
Actually, this is good news because this responsibility is of such importance to our Heavenly Father – the God of
this universe – that He has given tremendous authority, rights, and privileges to the gap-stander of every home. As
with all truth, rights and responsibility go hand in hand.
As you join us, we pray that you will know who you are in Christ Jesus and that as members of Christ’s body –
the Family of God – we finish the race – taking our households with us. We will stand before the Lord with gold
and silver – and not hay and stubble – hearing our Shepherd say – “Well done thy good and faithful servant.
Obedience has always been more important to God than sacrifice. The Lord is calling His warring women to the wall.
Can’t you hear Him? The Battle is the Lord’s!
