I believe in my heart that God spoke prophetically through Matthew, a young man, who cannot walk or talk. He was the one who was pushed in his wheelchair on the "Pushover passover prayer-walk".
Matthew had 2 energetic and fit helpers to push him on that day. As we were going up One-Tree-Hill, the front left wheel on the wheelchair just snapped right off. That left us with a decision whether to continue or pull out of the walk. We decided to continue, and it was with extra effort, caution and grace, that we managed to finish the route.
On the day before the race, I asked God to lead me in a direction of prayer for New Zealand. kind of ... a theme for a prayer-walk. the Lord gave me this scripture (the day before the walk) - Isaiah 31 - Destruction is certain for those who look to Egypt for help, trusting their cavalry and chariots instead of looking to the Lord.
The message from this is clear and simple:
New Zealand don't put your trust in your own strength -
Don't put your trust in your academic excellence -
Don't put your trust in your own wealth and financial achievements
Don't put your trust in your chariots ...
the things that take you from A to B
Rather do this one thing:
Put your trust in the Lord ... with all your heart
Then God will pass over New Zealand, and rescue the people.
Then God will hover over New Zealand and protect it.
Then God will defend New Zealand.
Amen
