Walking your way in prayer (4) -The ATTITUDE

Benefits of  ‘Walking your way’ in prayer on location:

One of the awesome things that happens in the hearts of those who consistently ‘walk your way in prayer on Location’ their campus or community is that they find their heart becomes committed to the places for which they have prayed. Doesn’t it make perfect sense: A Spirit-tenderised heart, sensitised to a Spirit-directed need, results in Spirit-filled acts of compassion.

  1. First of all, realise that we pray before the throne in an attitude of worship. Exalting Jesus, magnifying God from the very place(s) where we stand.

Worship fosters faith inside us because worship focuses on the character of God. 

Three elements that should be a part of our prayer walking worship experience are, 

  • thanksgiving,
  • praise and worship, and 
  •  repentance. 

Thanksgiving is how the psalmist says we are to enter God’s presence as in Psalm 100:1. When we exalt  our Lord and lift Him up, Jesus is lifted up as in John 12:32. In James 2:19, Demons tremble at His name! 

Like Isaiah, as we truly see God for who He is, our response is one of unworthiness, a broken and contrite heart before God he will not turn away(Psalm 51:17). We cannot repent for others, but Daniel and many others expressed a humble attitude of repentance before God on behalf of the people in Daniel 9:2-19.

  1. Second, we walk with prayer on locations amidst the evil powers with prayers of warfare. All people belong to the kingdom of Satan until God sets them free. We need to understand that the enemy has blinded the minds of people, so they are not able to see the light of the gospel as in 2 Corinthians 4:4. Jesus is the light of the world and has defeated Satan. (I John 3:8)
  1. Third, we walk with prayer throughout the community of people with prayers of blessing. We can pray blessings of peace upon families, dorms, offices, etc. We can pray prayers that welcome Jesus to our campus/city in all His love, forgiveness, healing and cleansing. We can pray that God would be honoured, adored, lifted up, revealed and praised by name among the people of the community.

We can pray something  like this, “Now Lord, we are the seed of Abraham and we speak blessings upon the people of this community. Let your salvation, healing, deliverance and reconciliation settle over this community.”
