A prayerwalk with a challenge ... some from distant countries ... and some who even cannot walk will join in the spirit.
Challenge your faith in a prayerwalk where we will follow similar instructions to what God gave to Joshua at Jericho. And see what God will do in Boksburg
I felt the Lord lay on my heart some unique instructions for prayerwalking in Boksburg, a town just east of Johannesburg, South Africa.
2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.
Joshua 6 - King James Version (KJV)
This is what I feel in my heart
Go walk around Boksburg lake once a day for 6 days ... IN SILENCE ...
and on the 7th day seven times ... PRAYING !!
6 Days of silent prayerwalking
In a way the six days (Monday to Saturday 6-11 June) are for preparing the prayers for Sunday 12 June 2005. Those days of silent walking around the dam, are for listening to God to hear what to pray for. Now this is definitely a challenge! Those of you joining in the spirit could take about 20 minutes each day just listening to what the Lord wants to say about what He wants us to pray for on Sunday. I say 20 minutes because it is a 2 km walk around the lake, and for the listening part we will walk slowly. You can mail me your words, or make comments here.
7th Day of fervent focused prayerwalking
On Sunday 7 times around the dam, while praying the things God revealed during the week.
The passion
I felt the Lord leading me to drive out to Boksburg and the road I used took me straight to the Boksburg lake. The way there is filled with things to pray for.
+ POVERTY
+ CRIME
+ SPIRITUAL NEEDS
As I walked around the lake and started to pray, I saw the "need" come take hold of me and in a way asking for help.
Here is what happened:
I was just walking around the dam this day praying
and HE showed me to pray for the poverty
terrible poverty
and for spiritual dryness
terrible dryness
and I did
and I was walking fast
and a young boy came and tried to keep up with me
and we started talking
and he asked me what do we learn from this ...
and I said to him nothing but getting fit
and he said he is already fit
and I said ... me too
so he asked me why am I doing it then
and I said ...
because I am actually praying as I walk
and he said "What are you praying?"
and I said ... about the poverty and that the people here would get close to God
and he said. ... but what would it help ... because do you know that I am actually a sinner
and my heart said "halleluja!"
and the lord gave me some things to say to him
and then I asked him if I could pray for him
and the Lord showed me areas to pray for him
and he was touched
I knew the lord wanted me to talk to him - and I was waiting for the innings
and the Lord showed me to pray for him ... Yougan ... for new friends who will help him to live a better life
and you know ...
I was walking fast before we started talking
and I was just surprised that he walked as he could and then ran - but he just kept on staying with me
and the lord told me not to slow down
and when he asked if I knew he was a sinner -
i just about stopped
then we talked
... smile
and the Lord was just leading me
I learned a lot!!!
and I knew not to present the gospel - but to just tell him of God's love
the Lord just showed me to do that
and when I prayed I told him I will pray to Jesus
I could see He was touched
the Lord spoke to me through that
I know I have this as my next prayer walk
and I am ready ...
What to bring
This is not an organised activity. If you want to join in, just go to the lake at your own time and walk around at a pace at which you will be comfortable. Please take water and just to be safe, a cell phone (if you need to contact someone). You needn't complete 7 rounds if you are not fit - just walk as the Lord leads you in your heart.
