Thirstday Prayerwalk

My cup runneth over (on a Sunday); but does it last untill Thursday ...

After setting out on a 10 km prayerwalk, I came to a very (very) steep uphill. Once I got to the summit, I felt a barrenness in my heart. I was praying over the area, but I felt as if there was Someone missing ... it was just a small area, but the feeling was strong.

I believe the Holy Spirit was prompting me to sing over that area ...

Holy Spi-rit,
You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e

Holy Spi-rit,
You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e

Holy Spi-rit,
You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e

Holy Spi-rit,
You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e

omnipotent Father of mercy and grace
You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e

and so it was for the next 6 km - almost an hour of singing that proclamation over the areas I walked through.

As I sang that song, I wondered what happens when people go to church on a Sunday, and they get an overflowing joy and indwelling presence of God; and Monday it starts to get less intense for them ... Tuesday is still less, by Wednesday the are half empty and Thursday is Thirstday ...


Shouldn't we stay in His overflowing presence all week long.

May my lips overflow with praise,
for you teach me your decrees.
Psalm 119:171 (NIV)

Everyone doesn't experience the fullness of this verse in their Monday to Friday life. BUT we can make a difference. Right where you are ... at this moment pray for your neighbourhood. And then pick up the phone and encourage someone ... ask the Holy Spirit to show you WHO ...

Father God,
we just come before You on this day
We realise our brothers and sisters are getting weary in this long week.
and we pray for them now Lord.
Lord, I ask that You will bring to mind those things which You spoke through the pastors and preachers on Sunday.
Lord I pray that You will draw Your people close - by Your Holy Spirit

And Lord
You are welcome in this area.
We just declare this over our neighbourhoods
... You are wel-co-me i-i-in this p-l-a-c-e ...

and Father God please prompt me now who to encourage this day
...
I ask this in Jesus' name
amen


i feel in my heart it is now time to be still before God ...

The pastors-puzzle prayer-walk

Standing at the closed gate of Fisherman's Village, I needed to phone reception to open the gate. The sun was bright and I couldn't see the screen of my phone clearly. I pressed the wrong button and dialled the wrong number. William answered - he is one of two pastors who I met during a recent Holy Spirit conference - we were both delegates! It was good to hear his voice and we had a short chat. The gate opened and I entered the main office. There was a visitor - another delegate from the conference. The other of the two pastors whom I met at the conference! Both of the two pastors - not only brought to my remembrance, but brought into contact in person! How WOW is that ... Coincidence? I don't think so! ... and now I am inviting you to follow me online in my quest to see what God has in mind for me and the 2 pastor friends. Prayer-walking from William's house in Soweto to Pitso's place off the Dikhololo road on the other side of Brits. On the previous

"Ancient wells" Prayerwalk

After prayerwalking from Kimberley to Gariep dam with that profound first day spanning 66km to the centre of South Africa, Father laid on my heart to do another prayerwalk: Kimberley to Kuruman. To my question "What is in Kuruman", He answered I should do some research. Keeping in mind that the 66 books point to the bible and how I felt to pray that the bible will become central again. Actually more than central - the centre and the cornerstone in schools, business, government, and even many churches. Where Petrusburg was first founded in the middle of South Africa, the fountain dried up. The town was relocated to its current position 20 km away. The fountain in the middle of South Africa dried up! Kuruman, in the dry expanse of the Kalahari basin boasts an inexhaustible sweetwater fountain.  It has never dried out, even in the longest drought periods. It produces 20 million litres of water  daily. The first bible in Africa was p

13 Churches ... 13 August ... ONE Prayer

I am organising a prayerwalk through a local community. I have counted and included 13 churches on the route and we will pray for each church as we pass them by. The invitation I make to members of those churches is that if they feel the area needs prayer, they can join in at any of the sections on the route. There are various distances - ranging from 100 meters onwards. A real exciting thing in this is that they may meet someone from a different church who prays the same as they do. But the most exciting will be that we will go out onto the streets, walking and talking to the Lord. Some prayers are prayed just under our breath like a whisper, some just in our thoughts and some out loud and some even in song and some even just as the Holy Spirit leads us ... I encourage them just to come and pray as they feel comfortable. I tell you this because you can be part of this ... even though many of the names on this mailing list are in countries all over the world - we know the Lord is not b
