Praying On-Site With Insight

We’ve come to call this sort of on-site intercession- “prayer walking.” It is simply praying in the very places that we expect God to bring forth His answers.The prayers are intercessory rather than devotional. Prayer walkers learn to pray beyond their own concerns, focusing prayer on behalf of their neighbours.

Prayer walking is usually a low-profile affair: Friends or family stroll two-by-two through their own neighbourhoods, schools and workplaces, praying as they go. Though they usually walk unnoticed, prayer walkers are aware of the significance.

Tools to help prayer on on location walkers 

 Having scripture at your fingertips may be the single best way to equip people to pray with depth and clarity as they prayerwalk their neighbourhoods or distant nations. Check out some of the tools available to help yourself or others prayer walk effectively.

PREPARATION  

In your preparation to conduct a prayer walk, there are four bases you need to cover. 

• The first is to be sent by God. Ask God to open a door of opportunity for you to involve yourself in a prayer walking adventure. 
• You also need to seek Him for a fresh cleansing and covering in your personal life. Any servant of Jesus who poses a serious threat to the powers of hell will be targeted and will encounter resistance. The believer must stand guard through prayer,  praying over himself/herself, family, church, and work of the Lord.

• Next, seek God’s guidance on where you should walk and what you should pray for. Be reminded that God’s heart is filled with a deep love and an intimate knowledge of what  each one of  you will pray for, whether they are known or unknown to you. As you seek Him, He will guide your steps and direct your prayers.
• Last, plan your walk. Give some thought to organising your effort.
