    This message shows the gaps that are in the hedge or defense around the nation, based upon the gaps in the defenses around Jerusalem. This message shows the need for men and women of God to take a stand and call sin, sin.

    The Hedge of God Ezekiel 22.23-31 (text—30) The main aspect of the ministry of Ezekiel was that of exposing the sins, the immorality, and the injustice of the people where he lived. This is not a very enviable assignment for a servant of God. We need Ezekiel’s today! We need men and women of ...read more
