Prayerwalker Journals

55,517 motorists prayed for since 6 November 2006. (Distance walked: 330 km) As I passed a bus, full of passengers, I was so encouraged to know I had a few seconds to pray for all of them. Encouraged, because I know that God (who knows the number of hairs on my head) knows the passengers each one intimately. For some He is waiting ... With some He is communing ... and in that short prayer I prayed, He could touch each one of them ... Our God is an awesome God - He who knows even the stars by name ... It is not too difficult for Him to hear a prayer for a whole busload of people and then know them by name and their needs - it is a bit mind-blowing to think about that. But it grows your faith! Psalm 147:4 (NIV)  4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. So He knows your deepest thoughts, dear reader as I pray for you now ... Father, As I pray for this person right now, I ask that You will reach in as his/her "will" allows you now ... to touch that hea

41 153 motorists prayed for since 6 November 2006. Distance walked: 247 km. On this morning's prayerwalk I was - for most of the 18km - consumed by a combination of songs ... maybe I just had some words substituted. I sometimes don't mind using the words as they come to mind - it adds new meaning to the song and makes me feel the deeper meaning while the "new song" is an offering to God. Author of the u-ni-verse ... You are ho-ly ho-ly Author of the u-ni-verse ... high a-bove all el-se (repeat ... repeat ... repeat ...) Father God, You are holy You are high above all else Maker of the universe, You are holy We just praise You now We praise You We p r a i s e You mmm ... mmm mmm mmm ... We worship You Lord mmm ... Amen

I am currently spending about 2 hours daily on racewalk training. I use this opportunity to pray for the motorists that pass by me. The "one-in-a-million prayerwalk" is an attempt to pray for 1 000 000 individuals, while also praying for 1 000 000 to be saved in New Zealand. Yesterday's prayerwalk during peak time traffic was enough to make me quite dizzy while praying ... BUT I know the Lord knows each one of the people and I cannot pray fast and enough for each person. Some of these precious people have not been prayed for in some time - I know this in my heart. This is very encouraging for me. Since 6 November 2006 I have prayed for 27,456 motorists, and have walked a distance of 174 km . 29 Nov 2006 - Motorists: 944 Northcote / Torbay / Brownsbay - Distance walked: 10 km 28 Nov 2006 - Motorists: 2,458 East Coast Rd / Constellation Drive - Distance walked: 6 km 26 Nov 2006 - Motorists: 3,053 East Coast Rd / Constellation Drive / Sunset Drive - Distance walked: 9 km

13,582* motorists prayed for (11,318 drivers + 2,264 passengers) since 6 November 2006. On this morning's prayerwalk, I had a spine-chilling experience. 5 days ago, I asked the Lord to open my eyes to see into the spiritual realm ... like Elisha's servant who couldn't see why Elisha wasn't afraid of the huge army around his town ... sent to come and get him (Elisha) ... a whole army sent to fetch one of God's children. Now he had something to be scared of ... but yet he said to his servant: (2 Kings 6:16) "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Who was he referring to? What did Elisha know that his servant didn't know. It was just the 2 of them, and the huge army surrounding the town. (2 Kings 6:16) And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of

11 182 people prayed for This morning the "1 million prayers"-prayerwalk had its first milestone ... I just passed the 10 000 mark. It started out as such a daunting ... unreachable goal, but now I have hope ... Just keep at it and keep on praying for precious people - ONE by ONE and I will get there. It will add up to 1 million en the end. Last week this prayerwalk added a dimension to my spiritual life which I thank God for. I experienced quite a number of moments where God reminded me of specific things in my own life - and I realised it was pointing to things that I did and never repented of. Unrepented sins. Aghhhh it feels so good to finally have spoken to the Lord about those things and knowing He is a loving and forgiving God. And to be able to look Him in the eyes without any feelings of guilt. Nehemiah 9:17 (New International Version) ... But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love ... Now a valuable lesson that I lea

Praying for 1 000 000 to be saved in New Zealand Christians have started praying for 1 million New Zealanders to be saved, and this prayerwalk is to pray for 1 million people representing them. Each person in that huge number (1 million) is someone special and that is what the next prayerwalk is about. Praying for each one of them. I am setting out to pray for 1 million people as they pass me. I pray that if they are not saved, they will be saved. If they are saved, to get to know the Lord Jesus more intimate. So while I pray for people individually, those prayers will also be for another individual to get saved ... does that make sense? I chose to do it where I find myself daily - on the road among thousands of commuters. I have seen something develop during the past months: As I prayerwalked the city, I have noticed that there are many opportunities to pray for motorists and their passengers. Some days I did that as they just kept on coming past me in droves. ( What a great opportuni

I felt convicted to pray into the big way in which stores have been marketing haloween this year ... and for the response from the people in the stores (shops). Little girls being dressed up as evil witches, Boys with glowing devils-forks. It is just terrible! I have mapped out a route which I have prayerwalked this morning and I am about to leave on the same route right after publishing this blog. The route takes the shape of a spiral and circles out in bigger and bigger circles throughout this city where I live in. Eventually the spiraling ends on the beach ... BUT not the prayers. This morning, as I prayerwalked this route, I didn't have (or use) much understandable words - I just let the Holy Spirit pray through me. This was a battle in the spirit-realm. The amazing deal in that is HE is doing the battle as we let HIM use us. So Lord please use us. Use me. I am standing in the gap for this nation right now. Just praying Your will to be done here. Your love to be here. Your glor
