Walking your way in prayer (1)  -Praying on Location

Walking your way in prayer on Location is the practice of praying on location, a type of  prayer that involves walking to or near a particular place while praying. Some people feel they can concentrate and direct their prayers more effectively by walking near the people and places they are praying for.

Some people believe that being close to a location allows them to “pray nearer to pray clearer.” 

Walks like this are taken by individuals, groups, and even whole churches. They can be as short as a block or as long as many miles. The idea is to use the five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—to increase the intercessor’s understanding of prayer needs.

BIBLICAL  EXAMPLES: 

 In identifying  the enemy’s power, we need to be aware of the enemy BUT in awe of God seeing things as they really are and not as they appear to be (II Corinthians 4:18). 

We need to be aware of the enemy but it through the eyes  of God seeing things as they really are and not as they appear to be (II Corinthians 4:18). 

There were giants in the land and cities with great walls, but Joshua and Caleb believed that “(God) will lead us into that land … we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us.” (Numbers 14: 8b, 9b)

In Nehemiah we see a person with a God-given burden and a sensitive heart. Before Nehemiah ever set foot in Jerusalem, the Scripture tells us he wept, mourned, fasted and prayed for the city and saw things changed  as in  Nehemiah 1:4.

Some groups  walk around schools, prompting prayer for the teachers and students inside, for their safety and peace, and for the schemes of the devil in their school to be thwarted.


Walking in your way on location is a relatively new phenomenon, the origin of which is not clear. There is no biblical model for this kind, although since walking was the major mode of transportation in Bible times, clearly people must have walked and prayed at the same time.  

For intance Joshua and Caleb walked throughout the Land with a desire to see it as God saw it. They walked in godly vision. In identifying  the enemy’s power

In the New Testament ,we are commanded to “pray without ceasing” as in 1 Thessalonians 5:17. God hears all prayers offered by those who abide in Christ as in John 15:7, regardless of time, place, or position. At the same time, there certainly is no command against prayer walking, and anything that prompts us to pray is worthy of consideration.
