Building Hedges Through Prayer
Jeff Ecklund
Job 1:9-10
Last week's message had to do with Pray First and is part of a series on prayer. Building Hedges is taken from Job 1. This message outlines building spiritual hedges, moral hedges, physical hedges and financial hedges.

First of all, recognize that you do have an enemy...

NKJV
Job 1:6-10
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the LORD said to Satan, ''From where do you come?''
So Satan answered the LORD and said, ''From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it. ...
