Walk-back Prayer-walk

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 be on that dusty pot-holed road
praying the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain - as we
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together, (Is 40:3)

And on the first walk this morning I can say that the Lord encouraged me with this -
What happened in the past is over. We are here in the present to drink form the life-giving water He supplies for us and to grow in HIM.
To walk with HIM
To live in HIS ways...

Lord Jesus
I pray for the people of South Africa now
Lord many hearts are hardened - just like that hard pot-holed road.
Hearts full of bumps and holes as others have stepped on them
and messed with their feelings
and hearts trodden into the ground
self-worth smashed and broken in the sand
and tears have only helped to harden the walls around their hearts
Lord Jesus
it is with compassion that we pray these words
it brings tears to my eyes
to see how people
have been made to feel worthless
and how they have little hope for the future
and how they don't live ... live ...live ...
It is with tears that we turn to YOU
and look to YOU
and trust in YOU
and reach out and help each other up
build each other up
encourage each other
stir the gifts in each other
to come to YOU
in a new and fresh way
to say
F A T H E R . . .
F A T H E R . . .
M Y . . .
. . .
MY FATHER
We accept your declaration over us
We take it with all our hearts
My Father

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

Day 5: Expectant silence

I see in the spirit lots of dirt and grime. It is not very obvious because of the darkness that prevails. I see the light seeping through from outside. The more the lights seeps through, the clearer we can recognise what is dirt and what is good. The greatest revelation I get in this is that we only have to channel the light in. The LIGHT is God in all HE is: Father Son and Holy Spirit. And HIS mere presence will drive the dirt and grime away. We are vessels to usher in His holiness, His love, His light, His way of thinking, His way of caring, His way of supporting, His way of uplifting. I sense Him wiating for our prayers for Boksburg. I am excited with you - and I look forward to Sunday, when there will be lots of prayer for Boksburg. And if you pray, will you also just burst out in praise and worship. I want to add this scripture from 2 Thessalonians 1 (New International Version) (Paul writes to the church of the Thessalonians) 11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, t

"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
