Who will stand?

This is a video testimony of the Justice House of Prayer. They were praying and worshipping in San Francisco one Friday night as they usually do when they began to be attacked and cursed by onlookers. It's a crazy story. At one point, the group was surrounded by a mob of people, and they had to eventually be escorted away by the SWAT team. One of the girls said she always thought she would die a martyr for evangelism, but she never thought she would die a martyr for intercession.

It is a chilling reality check of the situation we are in today. How many of us would actually be willing to die for the sake of praying and worshipping God? Paul tels Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:12, "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted..." It's crazy to think that something like this is happening even in America today. Ezekiel 22:30 says, "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." We say we love Jesus and will do whatever it takes. But when push comes to show who will stand in the gap for this generation? Who is willing to take up the call?
