Prayerwalker Journals

---------------------------- Day 1 ---------------------------- God prompted me in 3 different ways over the past week concerning a place called Paremoremo. Last night with the 3rd prompting, I felt a call on my heart to go prayer-walk this place of which I: Saw a road-sign only last week and felt drawn to it in some way Felt to pray for an Alpha group about their prison ministry concerns ... only to later realize they were to minister at the Paremoremo prison Listened to a man telling how they have for years been praying that God would establish a church in their area ... only later to realise he came from Paremoremo What I am to pray for and what I would find in Paremoremo I did not know. But today, I went out walking to Paremoremo for Day 1 to listen to the Holy Spirit and to tap into God's heart for this area. Paremoremo - Day one - The hidden place As I prayed, I felt to pray for Paremoremo as: A hidden place A place where the rain doesn't hit the ground A place of many en

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 intens

Report-back from the Friendship prayer-walk I have much to say about this prayer-walk, but let me start by saying this: North Shore City (Auckland), where I prayer-walked is not lying on any major fault-line, therefore earthquakes in the region are relatively rare. At daybreak I started walking and praying as I passed and stopped at various churches. Then something awesome happened ... and for now, I will start off by telling only about that incident. (More about the prayer-walk will follow later.) In the afternoon, at 16:20 I was walking towards a church which I could see from a distance. I have just crossed over a steep hill, and was going from a populated area into a park-like open valley. I normally take some notes when I am prayer-walking and at that time I made these notes: " I don't know of a kind of a fault-line in the spirit realm ... but as I came into this valley, it just felt like a dense cloud of depression hanging low over the area. It felt like some kind of ten

21 February 2007 - North Shore City I will soon be reaching 100 000 in the "Praying for ONE MILLION to be saved in NZ"! As an extension of that prayer, I am planning a prayerwalk throughout North Shore City - from Devonport Wharf in the South all the way to Torbay in the North and then round and back down South to end in Northcote. I plan to start at 0600 from Devonport Wharf and prayerfully walk my way from church to church, praying at each building for 15 minutes, and finally ending at 1800.

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
