Intercessory Prayer is Standing in the Gap
In the Old Testament, many large cities had walls surrounding them to provide protection from enemies. When part of the wall was broken down, the city was vulnerable to attack. Brave soldiers were needed to risk their lives by literally standing in the broken wall’s gap to turn back the enemy.
Today, “standing in the gap” is a term used by people familiar with warfare prayer and intercessory prayer.
