There's a Hole in the Hedge

Guest Speaker: Evangelist Drew Haye Text: Ezekiel 22:30 Thursday Evening Service, May 21, 2026 Series: Spring Bible Conference 2026 Missionary Bible Church Halifax, Nova Scotia http://www.mbchalifax.com/ Sermon Notes: In this final meeting of our Spring Bible Conference, Evangelist Drew Haye brings us a message from Ezekiel 22:30. The State of the Land (0:46 - 14:02): Drawing parallels between the historical context of Ezekiel and modern times, he describes a society and religious landscape suffering from moral decay, corruption, and spiritual apathy. He notes that the "hedge"—representing God's protection and moral boundaries—has been compromised by the influence of sin. The Need for Intercessors (14:03 - 27:45): The core message focuses on God's search for someone to "stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30). The speaker argues that churches today have largely abandoned the "prayer closet," leading to an overrun of wickedness. He emphasizes that the battle for the nation and the church is won on the knees of believers in prayer. The Solution: A Call to Action (27:46 - 49:06): Bro. Haye outlines three practical steps for believers to restore the hedge: Get Right: Confess sins and remove the distance between oneself and God (37:55 - 40:29). Get Requesting: Engage in bold, persistent prayer, remembering that God has a vast supply of blessings for those who ask (40:30 - 43:24). Get Results: Believe that God is willing to act when his people intercede (43:25 - 49:06). Conclusion: Tonight's message serves as an urgent call to the congregation—and all believers—to stop being passive and to take up the ministry of intercessory prayer. The speaker concludes by challenging the audience to be the ones who finally stand in the gap, noting that "prayer is THE work" (47:35).
