Prayer Walking Guide

PRAYER WALKING IS THE ACT OF THE CHURCH STEPPING OUT AND PRAYING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AS WE WALK A GEOGRAPHIC SPACE, INVITING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SATURATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE THAT INTERACTS IN/AROUND IT.

"I AM GIVING YOU EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THE LAND YOU SET YOUR FOOT ON" (JOSHUA 1:3).

W- WORSHIP

BEGIN WITH YOUR HEART FIXED ON JESUS. AT THE HEART OF WORSHIP IS ADORATION OF GOD. BEGIN TO PRAY WITH WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU, BE IT SAYING HIS NAME, RECALLING A WORSHIP SONG, REPEATING SCRIPTURE IN YOUR HEAD, OR NOTICING NATURE AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS - REFLECT ON GOD'S CHARACTER & CHRIST AS LORD IN YOUR LIFE WHILE PRAYING TOGETHER OUT LOUD.

A-ASK

FLOWING OUT OF YOUR WORSHIP, ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL THE LAND YOU ARE WALKING ON. PRAY FOR SPECIFIC PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS. PETITION GOD TO REVEAL "PERSONS OF PEACE," OR THOSE WITH ACCESS TO OTHERS & WHO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOSPEL MOVEMENT.

L-LISTEN

AS YOU WORSHIP AND PRAY, LEAVE SPAGE TO LISTEN TO WHAT GOD MIGHT BE SAYING TO YOU, THEN PRAY IT BACK. IT COULD BE A VISUAL IN YOUR HEAD, A PARTICULAR PASSAGE IN SCRIPTURE, OR PROPHETIC WORDS OF WISDOM / PROMISE. WHEN YOU PRAY IT BACK, YOU ARE WALKING THESE PROMISES OUT OVER YOUR COMMUNITY. LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS IN YOUR GROUP ARE PRAYING. OFTEN, WE HEAR THINGS THAT CAUSE NEW PRAYERS OF OUR OWN TO EMERGE.

K- KNOW YOUR LAND

BE INFORMED ABOUT THE AREA YOU ARE WALKING. IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE TO PRAYER-WALK PLACES WHERE YOU ALREADY EXIST. PRAY FOR BREAKTHROUGH IN ANY DOMINANT BROKENNESS, IN JUSTICES, OR SIN STRUGGLES YOU KNOW OF. THESE COULD BE SPECIFIC INTERPERSONAL ISSUES, OR ISSUES OF A GRANDER SCALE THAT AFFECT THE WHOLE AREA. NOTICE THE GRACES AND GOODNESS OF THE AREA. HOW HAS GOD BLESSED IT? HOWIS HE ALREADY WORKING IN IT?
