Thank You God!

Awesome day in His service ministering and praying in Leratong. Testimonies of answered prayer from last week's prayerwalk. And today - wow. And the wonderful team that God brought together today. Thank You God for touching so many people as we walked house to house...

Yesterday - on the last day of the of this incredible walk around Joburg, it all came together like this: I stood on a hill overlooking the whole city which took me 7 days to walk around. And then it started: Rain, hail, thunder and wind!! I saw water trickle from the side of the road. These trickles soon became streams and the streams turned into a mighty gushing of water which I couldnt cross ... and I remembered how this prayerwalk started with Ez 47. The water first ankle deep, knee deep waste deep and eventually to deep to cross ... and when it flowed into the dead sea - it made everything fresh. And I knew in my heart - mission accomplished... And I understand that unless God washes this City - it cannot be clean. So lets keep on praying.

I stand on a hill i see Joburg its raining over the south golden rays over city centre dark clouds over the east and excitement in the north ... Come Lord Jesus

Allandale towards Midrand - seeing Joburg all over t horizon - it is so good just to worship our God and King and when i worship i get to love Him so much more

Half way! Give or take 10kms thanks to all prayer partners for your wonderful encouragement and messages. The feedback from people I pass on this journey is so inspiring but today i got a message from a man i met on Monday... I can not yet put into words the depth of healing in his AND MY heart. Tonight i will go home to wash some very very dirty clothes and start again on the same spot where i ended today. Please read Psalm 51 as you pray over Joburg. Peet

As i walk from Walkerville twards Klipriviersberg i will pass some historical gold-rush sites. I feel to pray today for the greed that birthed this city and how it is still cotrolling Jobvrg. Then God impressed on my heart to pray for those left with shattered dreams and so many who have lost hope...

After 10 hrs, eventually, I walked through De Deur - Then the blessings came... Free dinner Free hotel suite Free breakfast and it all began when twice this morning, as I walked past, someone would call: Hey Johnny Walker! And tonighite, after a long day's walk, I started looking for a place to camp. A sign said Johnnie Walker - I'm uncomfortable in a pub but I felt to go in. When I asked about a campground, guys started asking about this prayerwalk and i could tell 2 testimonies of miracles i've seen on prayerwalks. A guy offered me to choose anything for dinner - he'll pay! Few moments later he said he'd also put me up at this fancy hotel for the night but the hotel owner said no it will be free - breakfast included ... Now its time to worship!!

Walking about 10 min when a car pulled up. In t mIddle of t road! It was the owner of t B&B she was going t hospital i asked if i cd pray f her she closed her eyes bowed her head and in the middle of the road whispered 'yes' needless to say i prayed and was watchman : o ) pse pray with me for her healing

Heading towards the south then to De Deur (THE DOOR) to pray 24-7 (check Psalm 24:7) that the king of Glory may come in. Hallejujah!

Preparing and packing to start the prayerwalk around Johannesburg tomoro. I remember the many times I've experienced God in awesome ways on previous prayerwalks. I pray that each one sharing in this with me will be touched in a deep way this week

Footprints Walking on the dusty dead sea sand ... hot, dry and deadly air scorching through dirty, sticky hair wrinkles around the eyes reflect the wear and tear sweaty droplet trickles down the unwiped cheek onto lips that have never uttered to the Lord a prayer from the hard and unknown lonely heart surrounded by walls and hurts so deep do you know what it is and Who you seek? come walk with Jesus; hand-in-hand and see the countless footprints in the sand of those who prayed for you through your wear and tear you were so unaware how they often placed you in His care come walk with Jesus; hand-in-hand let the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit bring you ease bring rest to your weary and tired knees come walk with Jesus; hand-in-hand and you will know the love of a Father and see the countless footprints in the sand of those who prayed for you you have a sister and a brother and we walk with you, on your sand Speechless... This is how I feel when I see God revealing Himself as I put the

As I pondered the prompting in my heart, to go on the 210km prayer-walk around the city of Johannesburg, the Holy Spirit spoke a very interesting thing to me: Walk around Johannesburg as if you are walking around the dead sea... I was intrigued and I delved deeper to understand God's heart. I thought I was to pray About the death and destruction in the city. About the barrenness and isolation that people experience. About the sinfulness and crime. But the Lord impressed on my heart to pray along the words in Ez 47... About water flowing from the temple, from a trickle to mighty river, into the Dead Sea. About how this river makes the water in the Dead Sea fresh so everything will live where the river goes. About how fishermen will come to fish and the fish will be of many kinds. He also showed me a principle in Jer 29:7 to pray to the Lord on behalf of the welfare of the city, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. I Timothy 2:1-2 First of all, then, I urge that supplicatio

This post is not about a prayer-walk I have done. It is about the Lord Jesus walking and impacting Peter, AND history... And now I have to just go and walk a long way to think about His amazing love for me Art by Lillis Boyer He came ... walking on the water that dark and scary night my heart jumped - I really got a fright Later He told me that a believing son or daughter will do greater works than He but that night, I was so afraid The wind blew hard and the water sprayed as I sank, I cried: Lord save me! He took hold of fearful, sinking ... me I remember the first time we met the toil and half a sinking ship - I was also wet I said: Depart from me, I am a sinful man... and then He said: From now you will be a fisher of men I forsook all - even that miraculously broken net Since that day He said, many times, to me: Fear not ... he wasn't there, when I followed at a distance to say Fear not - as I warmed myself at the fire telling them I do not know the man Then He looked at me His

A gold medal represents some kind of reward. Yesterday I was rewarded for months and years of training and dedication. But not by one token only... As one of 55 000 participants, I queued for over 3 hours this week to collect my registration pack for the 2010 Walk-the-Talk event. While standing in that line, I saw a relative going past. I haven't seen her in many years and before I could greet her, she was gone... I took part in the competitive race which was over 30km. We started at 06:30 am and after about 2 km I started to pray as I usually do while I train. These were just some random things that I talked to God about and I also shared a few encouraging words with fellow walkers as we passed each other. Just after the half-way mark something very interesting happened. The Holy Spirit reminded me of a sign I saw earlier that morning. I still see it clearly: A big BLACK number on a WHITE background - the number "22". It is amazing how I was looking down at that moment,

During the week I felt an increasing urge to pray for Uganda. More specific for the area around Moyo in the North; an area that has been in war for over 20 years. The people are displaced and in need of many services and supplies. The first week first week of August will see a 3-day crusade in that area, and a visit to 2 camps for distributing clothes and supplies to many, many displaced families. "Winds of Holy Fire" and "Redemption Ministries International"-ministry teams will also be ministering to orphans and widows. I cannot go (I think) - but I will pray. On Saturday I was ready to start off on a long prayer-walk, to intercede and also to discuss with God what is on His heart... And how to pray and what to pray for. I planned this prayer-walk a little in the sense that I wanted to walk around one of the most modern athletic tracks in the area. I felt to take a pen and a note pad, and every time I completed a lap, I would stop and write down what the Lord said.

During race-walk training, I did one of my personal best times today. That is the boring version of my testimony of God's goodness... Here is the exciting version: As I passed the 8km mark I was in a bit of a competitive battle with 3 other athletes. Thoughts went through my head about my position - relative to the others. One was a bit ahead, the other almost next to me and the other just behind. The time-trial was too competitive for chatting, and we were training too hard anyway. So I just talked with the Lord as we went along. I explained to the Lord how I understand the positioning of the other athletes. I think the Holy Spirit laid on my heart to ask the following: "Lord, one athlete is there in the front the other here and another behind... but Lord ... where exactly are you walking in this race?" "Lord, if I race-walk like this, where are You walking ...?" He astounded me by gently whispering this into my heart: I am right in front of you... I am on your

As I set out on an early morning training session; race-walking for 15km, I had only one thing in mind: to walk out 7,5km and back in a competitive time along that busy road. Walking out in the fresh (cold) air, all went well, but as I turned back the Holy Spirit whispered into my heart: "Just pray" When the Holy Spirit speaks ... especially when He speaks gently... I have come to realise that those are the times to really give heed. And I did... It broke my speed and brought my focus in another direction (a deeper way) As I walked, He lead me in prayer in the following way and He let me understand the following about when we pray its about what we do and what we pray during the day whether at work or at play This is what I heard him say: What are you doing on the outside? In other words - what do passers-by see you do? I answered that I was walking. People who see me, can see I am walking. The next question was interesting: What are you doing on the inside? In other words -

I felt in my heart to go on a A to Z prayer-walk (Zandspruit to Allens Nek) The Lord laid 1 Peter 1:13-16 (The Message) on my heart as the theme: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives. Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, "I am holy; you be holy." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I started off at about half past eleven; I had a route in mind and set off in that direction. Everything was under control. Distance, timing, route and watering points along the way all lined up... Then the Lord spoke into my heart: " Want to turn down there? ... " That was a surprise

(Walk-back prayer-walk - Final Day) This morning was definitively the highlight of this week's prayer-walk. The dusty pot-holed road I walked today was the reason for this whole week's prayer-walking. This was the road the Lord used to get this week's intercession going. This was the road to which I looked forward to all week. It is only about 200 metres in length, but I estimate it has more rubble than what I have seen all week on all the other dirt roads combined. People seem to use this piece of road as a place to ditch their building rubble. You could almost describe it as a pile of rubble lying in a straight line ... And this is what the Lord spoke to me about today's road: Even though its dirty, damaged, dangerous and smelly, this road brings provisions for someone precious in the HIS sight. This short road connects the end of the tarred road to the Thandanani House of Refuge Each of the 45 children who has to date passed through those doors are indeed precious i

I felt a bit rushed this morning. I even wondered if I could do a ride-and-pray on today's dusty pot-holed road. And when God is so gentle as He is - and gives you the option to do it your way - BUT you know it would be better His way, I suggest you always always do it His way. As I parked and started walking towards the turnoff where the dirt road starts, I knew it was the right thing to do. If we are in a hurry, we won't see what He wants to show us. If we rush we will also not hear HIM. So I walked. And prayed. And it was a beautiful morning. And I walked. And I prayed ... You know the feeling - just doing something - and there is no spark or flame. And you stir the gift and you go through the motions ... That is how it felt. I asked the Lord what should I pray and how. The Lord lead me to the outskirts north of the city for today's dirt-road prayer-walk. As expected, this road was also full of pot-holes. And then, as I walked, expecting something but still feeling rushe

It always astounds me how God uses simple things in life to explain the deep and dark difficult stuff ... This morning as I started out, I asked our Father where I should go. I was excited because of the previous 2 days and how he revealed those simple things to me. He placed in my heart a yearning to go walk a very specific dusty (muddy) pot-holed road ... I knew about it but have never been on it. On the outskirts of the city - almost out of town -almost in the bush. I started of praying for the leaders of our land and continued along a very very potholed road. I came to a crossing where I had the option of three directions. I asked the Lord if there is one specific road He wants me to take. I took the one I felt He nudged me on and soon it became clear that I was following the road on the edge of a very large quarry. A deep huge man-made hole with trucks going up and down into it to take more and more out. And I realised - how often do we fix the pot-holes on the roads with sand and

Back-walk prayer on a road to no-where On this second day of prayer-walking - after a night of rain - the dusty pot-holed road became a muddy mess. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As I passed the last townhouse complex to the overgrown veld (bush) I noticed lots of wild cosmos just blooming all over among and between the tall grass. A pretty impressive sight of flowers - pink and white BUT here at the start - so bright a special special sight a cosmos neither pink nor white BUT yellow and so bright I felt the Lord say - Keep that in mind. So I did and started out on the prayer-walk. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Each day so far this week, the Lord has led me to walk a different road; but today, He taught me a precious lesson about a muddy pot-holed road. Some would say it is a road to no-where ... Some would say it is a dead end road ... A road less traveled And yes ... a river does indeed run through it! A road is not a natural phenomenon. It

We are here to serve God and to walk the road where He leads ... and He is leading me in my heart to do a specific prayer-walk for a week - on a dusty pot-holed road And you're invited ... Join me in the spirit to pray this week, for our nation And this is how I believe we should pray, for hearts to turn: "With weeping they shall come, and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back, I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble, for I am a father to Israel" (Jeremiah 31:9) Thank You God that you proclaim over us that You are our Father Thank You Jesus that we can pray with compassion for the people of South Africa to humble their hearts and in tears and repentance pray for Your mercy as we pray for the future of this land. Thank You Holy Spirit that You will lead us back to WALK BACK to a place of fullness. Amen Please pray with me for this week, daily at 0830 even while you're at work or on the road 'cause I'll
