LESSONS ON STANDING IN THE GAP
11/25/22 LESSONS ON STANDING IN THE GAP
Today when I was in the kitchen, the following vision suddenly returned to my memory and I knew the Lord wanted me to share it. This vision taught me about standing in the gap and building up a wall of protection.
4/27/99: RAISING A WALL AND RELEASING THE ANGELS
Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall [Enclosure, fence, hedge, wall], and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
THE HEDGE
I saw I was searching the horizon a great distance away. I saw a wall burst forth in the distance and coming towards me. I barely had time to exclaim when its issuing was upon me: At the same time I saw an “invisible” wall raise up from the ground to the sky. Although not visible to the naked eye, I could see that it had substance as I saw millions of individual particles that were bursting with what looked like “living light.” In other words, I saw the starting place of this living wall and it rushed in two directions at the same time: perpendicular and horizontal – straight towards me and straight up to heaven. I saw the side view of the wall go upwards and I also saw this “living light” move towards me like what a wall of roaring water would do, filling the gaps and the spaces.
Once I got over the shock of seeing this mass of living particles bursting forth, I watched it form a barrier from earth to heaven and just stay there. It looked like it was an invisible shield of some sorts, but filled with this living light. Since I was standing at the end of the wall I could see and experience both sides of this wall. On the right side was Gods tangible Presence and faith and the left side dwelled a tangible evil presence. The wall of living light was separating the two.
THE ANGELS
On the right side of the wall I saw this airport runway filled with a large group of white hang glider planes with no motors. All were white hang gliders, but each were slightly different. Some were smaller, some larger, some had special shapes, but all made no noise. As though by command, like a huge flock of birds, I saw them swoop down the runway a few feet apart from one another. Now this was very intimidating because they were at the far end of the runway and they were coming towards me! As I experienced them moving towards me, I could actually feel my faith level. While they were moving I knew they were going to lift off and not run me over!
THE AFFECT OF DOUBT
As I watched many take off safely, I saw one smaller plane coming toward me and I began to doubt that it was going to make it without running me over! I felt like I was a “gonner.” At the exact moment I lost my peace and began to doubt, that little plane lifted off the runway and started to wobble, wavering up and down in midair. I saw that it was suspended between crashing and flying and realized it was directly connected with my faith and its ability to fly so I stood firm that it was to rise and go forth. As I watched the plane rise up by my standing firmly against wavering, I understood while still in the vision that these white hang glider planes were angels being sent forth on assignments and my faith was connected to their freedom to fly.
James 1:6-7 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
THE EVIL FORCE
On the left side of the wall of light, I looked at a dark murky river. I felt the compelling, almost gravitational pull of an evil force trying to drag me into a murky water to drown me. It was a magnetizing force drawing me towards it. I had to break its grip off my focus and not focus on its evil. I turned to the Lord I fought it in Jesus Name. I understood that in order to be safe from this evil magnetic pull, I had to follow my conscience very carefully and this would keep me on the right side of the wall. Our faith is directly tied to our conscience!
1 Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made it shipwreck:
1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
=========================
UNDERSTANDING
When I came out of the vision I understood the wall of living light represented the wall of protection built by those standing in the gap, and the angels were being loosed to go forth alongside of this wall. The angels’ abilities were directly related to our level of faith. The wall was a barrier of protection for the angels to go forth, separated from the demonic forces. Our faith level is directly tied to our life choices and whether we instinctively know if we are pleasing our Father in how we live moment to moment.
If we want to STAND in the gap, we have got to follow our conscience and please the Lord in our daily choices. Otherwise we DOUBT and this directly affects the angels and also the erection of the wall beginning to circle around the world.
“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand (05975) in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” (Eze 22:3)

Job 1:10 Have not you made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are increased in the land.
QUICKENED GLANCE: Later after receiving the vision when I was thinking about the authority to loose angels via our prayers, I clicked on an e-mail and my eye fell on a line where someone had said, “Sandy’s angels.” I knew that was a confirmation that the hang gliders representing angels.
I know there are different types of angels and they have different levels of authority and power according to their assignments and purpose. (Metron) And angels are dressed to represent God’s message and many times I have seen them pantomime His message. This made me ponder the little hang glider. It was much smaller than the rest and the moment I doubted because of its size, it wobbled and mimicked exactly how I was feeling in my level of faith as I watched it. I believe it was pantomiming how my faith was connected with his ability to go forth and how I needed to grow in learning how to stand strong. The other lesson I learned was that our faith is not in angels, their appearance, their size or metron. Our faith is in the Lord Who created them to help us with various assignments.
BREAKING EVIL’S GRIP
Although invisible to the naked eye, there was a definite line between the left and right side of the wall. It was only after I took one step to the left of the wall and looked towards the murky water, that I felt its magnetic grip to lure and pull me towards it. I immediately knew it was demonic and began to break its grip and fight it in the Name and blood of Jesus. But this was a good lesson on how our steps need to be in the Lord’s path and spirit led, not walking in the carnal desires of the flesh.
Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Galatians 6:8 For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
WORD TO PONDER: YOUR CONSCIENCE AND LEVEL OF FAITH 3/24/19
Dear one, I created you with a conscience which is the ability to know what is right and what is wrong. It is your barometer of My approval or disapproval. Your conscience is like an invisible fence line that keeps your faith safe from falling. Crossing that line brings doubt and unbelief which interferes with your intimacy with Me.
I have heard your cries to hear My voice and have intimacy with Me. A wavering faith receives nothing from Me. Living with a good, clean conscience is staying behind the fence line between right and wrong which keeps your faith stable. You instinctually know you are pleasing Me with your choices, motives, actions and speech. If you are faithful towards its inner nudging, you will find the ability to receive consistent intimacy with Me without doubt or wavering.
Your conscience lives within your spirit man. Your soul also has My law written within it. These are 2 witnesses in agreement with what is right and what is wrong for you. Because these are both intangible but powerful beacons, your thoughts both argue or agree with how you are aligning with what you instinctually know what is right and wrong. Continual rationalization will numb your conscience. Listen to your thoughts. Inside you wrestle with them over and over again, constantly defending yourself. Listen to how your thoughts compromise the issues. Be wary of this, for your good conscience is a very tender gift that is key to your level of faith.
Keep your conscience void of offense. Nurture your conscience, and do not grieve it. For in grieving it you will eventually numb to cover the pain. This numbs its ability to discern for you, and you will lose this precious gift, thus turning towards an evil conscience. Dear one, offer your conscience toe Me. Let My blood wash your conscience clean and pure and become willing to be trained to have a sensitive conscience.
“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.” (Ac 24:16)
Ro 2:15 Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
