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 heart with Your loving kindness
... and to lift those burdens which keeps pulling downwards
... and to fill those empty holes
... and to warm that the very deepest corners in this heart which needs to be revived for You, Lord
... and I ask Lord that You will let him/her experience Your closeness
yes, Your very presence right now
... and Lord I pray that You fill their hearts with Your PEACE right now ... even as he/she reads this right now.
Lord God, You have created all those stars - and You know them by name
I ask that who-ever reads this, (and who You know by name), will be touched so deeply right now,
that they will not be able to keep it for themselves, but share it with someone they know.
Bless them
I ask this in Jesus' name
amen

Author of the universe - praisewalk
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

A dizzy prayerwalk
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.

Spine-chilling prayerwalk
13,582* motorists prayed for (11,318 drivers + 2,264 passengers) since 6 November 2006.
On this morning's prayerwalk, I had a spine-chilling experience.
5 days ago, I asked the Lord to open my eyes to see into the spiritual realm ... like Elisha's servant who couldn't see why Elisha wasn't afraid of the huge army around his town ... sent to come and get him (Elisha) ... a whole army sent to fetch one of God's children. Now he had something to be scared of ... but yet he said to his servant: (2 Kings 6:16) "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
Who was he referring to? What did Elisha know that his servant didn't know. It was just the 2 of them, and the huge army surrounding the town.
(2 Kings 6:16) And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
And this morning as I was walking, I was praying for the people of New Zealand - adding to my list of 1 million people to be prayed for, when I had a momental glimps into the spirit-reality of where I was walking.
I was walking alongside a busy road. The pavement is well maintained and has a walkway for pedestrians close to the side of the road. On the one side were cars moving along, on the other side were trees and behind the trees parking areas and large buildings housing businesses of all kinds.
That was when I saw it ...
In the spirit, a group of huge angels were actually walking along with me. Large and walking with powerful strides ... with flaming shields.
It was an instant too big for me to handle. I had to stop and catch my breath. I went off the walkway, sat down and just thanked the Lord that He showed me how He (Ps 91:11) "... will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;"
I was just pondering how Almighty God would in fact use me - despite of all my mistakes in the past. despite not being perfect ...
When I got up and walked towards the road, it had gone quiet (The traffic light in the oncoming lane was red and that made traffic-flow stop for a while)
A single car was coming along and I stared at this registration plate ...
You know how some people personalise their vehicle registration plates. This car said: "4GIVEN"
Forgiven !!!
That had me speechless ...
But the Lord loves us too much to end there. the next vehicle that came (before the traffic light brought the next load of traffic) ... The very next vehicle was a recycling truck with the registration number: 2REUSE
To RE-USE !!!
Forgiven and re-usable ... just think about the magnitude of that ...
Dear reader
As you read this, I want to encourage you that you too can be re-used.
I have done many things which weren't right at all. I have been at a place where I didn't even want to take courage to look God in the eyes.
But He is gracious.
He is kind.
He is forgiving enough to listen to your plea.
Repent of your sin, and ask Him to forgive you.
And He will.
And He will forgive and re-use you too.
"Lord Jesus,
I have sinned against You
This is what I have done (now is a good time to tell Him what you did wrong - even though He knows it already)
Lord I choose to stop and not do that again.
Please forgive me.
And come into my heart with all Your might.
I give You first place in my life right now.
Amen
If you prayed that with all your heart - I know that you will by now feel His love in your heart and that you will feel the forgiveness flowing through you.
Father, I pray now that You will reveal Yourself (through the Holy Spirit) to this precious child of Yours.
I ask this in Jesus' name
... amen

Lessons from a prayerwalk
11 182 people prayed for
This morning the "1 million prayers"-prayerwalk had its first milestone ... I just passed the 10 000 mark.
It started out as such a daunting ... unreachable goal, but now I have hope ... Just keep at it and keep on praying for precious people - ONE by ONE and I will get there. It will add up to 1 million en the end.
Last week this prayerwalk added a dimension to my spiritual life which I thank God for. I experienced quite a number of moments where God reminded me of specific things in my own life - and I realised it was pointing to things that I did and never repented of. Unrepented sins. Aghhhh it feels so good to finally have spoken to the Lord about those things and knowing He is a loving and forgiving God. And to be able to look Him in the eyes without any feelings of guilt.
Nehemiah 9:17 (New International Version)
... But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love ...
Now a valuable lesson that I learned today while on a prayerwalk:
Sometimes people like to have their names on their car registration plates. As I prayed for those unknown people in their cars, there would be the occasional registration number with a name on it ... then I pray for that person by name!
Some small companies have the name of the owner signwritten on the sides - then I pray for that person by name, and also sometimes I feel led to pray for that company.
This is an opportunity when you next sit in traffic ... See if there is someone whom you don't know, who you can pray for by name!
I don't really care much if I am right or wrongabout the name ... God looks onto the heart.

one-in-a-million prayerwalk
Praying for 1 000 000 to be saved in New Zealand
Christians have started praying for 1 million New Zealanders to be saved, and this prayerwalk is to pray for 1 million people representing them.
Each person in that huge number (1 million) is someone special and that is what the next prayerwalk is about. Praying for each one of them. I am setting out to pray for 1 million people as they pass me. I pray that if they are not saved, they will be saved. If they are saved, to get to know the Lord Jesus more intimate.
So while I pray for people individually, those prayers will also be for another individual to get saved ... does that make sense?
I chose to do it where I find myself daily - on the road among thousands of commuters. I have seen something develop during the past months: As I prayerwalked the city, I have noticed that there are many opportunities to pray for motorists and their passengers. Some days I did that as they just kept on coming past me in droves. (What a great opportunity to put intercession into practise, and to proclaim the kingdom over the people in the city.)
I have just recently started to count the traffic for my own company's marketing purposes. The figures have been compared to the city council's counts and it shows that my routes can take me past more than 96 000 motorists every month.
Here's the challenge:
During the next 10 months, the "one-in-a-million prayerwalk" will focus on praying for 1 million people.
This is how many motorists I could be able to see ... and pray for!
I feel in my heart this is a physical demonstration of the 1 million souls we are praying for.
Will you join me at least for one day in the next 10 months? And as you walk your neighbourhood, just pray for the salvation of the people who pass you by. You will be amazed how much softer your heart becomes after walking (praying) for 30 minutes.
6446 prayed for this week ... 993 554 to go
Monday - 1180
I prayerwalked for an hour in the morning on a route that brought 1180 people past me. Those are people who I saw and prayed for. I don't know their names or their situations - but God does ... Some of them I just "hand to God" in the prayer - He knows how long it has been since some of them was prayed for.
Tuesday - 2400
I took a long walk - 15km (Takapuna-Albany-Browns Bay) 0900 to 1300, and what a wonderful time of intimacy I had! The Lord reminded me at some point of some unrepentent sins in my own life, and I felt so free and clean after making right with God. That is the wonder of our God - so many times I set out to pray for others and then, in an instant, He takes hold of me and just draws me into His presence.
And what a great surprise when one of the vehicles that passed me had on it's license plate: "be blessed" ...
Wednesday - 466
This was an early evening walk. Sunset over the bay ... walking with Jesus.
Thursday - Leg-rest
Friday - 2400
Another long walk on a busy route. (Takapuna-Sunny Nook-East Coast Bays Road-Browns Bay)
I need your prayers ... This is going to be a long walk and I really want to finish.
I will be updating the statistics on my ADWALKS page.
I am doing this to spread the message of how great a thing it is that we are asking God ... 1 million lives saved and turned around for Jesus. Now isn't that really exciting.
If you know someone who would want to pray with us for 1 million New Zealanders to be saved, would you please send them the link to this page - CLICK HERE and get them praying too.
I will keep the blog updated and will send out email notices from time to time as I feel led to.
So in the mean time, get out there, pray for some motorists and pray that they will have an encounter with God today. Pray that they will get saved if they are not saved yet and pray for their safety on the road.
And when the roads get real busy, ask the Holy Spirit to help you pray faster, more and deeper ...
We have the ability to change the spiritual climate in the area where we stay - lets do it and proclaim God's kingdom over our houses, neibourhoods and cities.
Father God, I ask that You will stir in the heart of each person reading here right now, the excitement of praying for others to come into Your kingdom.
I pray Father, that You will raise up many people to pray for individuals to come to You. To turn their lives and come in to a relationship with You.
and I pray Father, that You will equip the church in New Zealand with workers to receive that harvest.
Lord I pray that You will lead them by Your Holy Spirit to prepare the way for the harvest to come in and to have a place to fellowship. Spiritual homes - where they can be taught about Your love and about You, Jesus.
and I pray Lord that this will move New Zealand into a closer relationship with You ...
I ask this in Your name Lord Jesus
Amen

The spiraling prayerwalk
I felt convicted to pray into the big way in which stores have been marketing haloween this year ... and for the response from the people in the stores (shops). Little girls being dressed up as evil witches, Boys with glowing devils-forks. It is just terrible!
I have mapped out a route which I have prayerwalked this morning and I am about to leave on the same route right after publishing this blog.
The route takes the shape of a spiral and circles out in bigger and bigger circles throughout this city where I live in. Eventually the spiraling ends on the beach ... BUT not the prayers.
This morning, as I prayerwalked this route, I didn't have (or use) much understandable words - I just let the Holy Spirit pray through me. This was a battle in the spirit-realm. The amazing deal in that is HE is doing the battle as we let HIM use us.
So Lord please use us.
Use me.
I am standing in the gap for this nation right now. Just praying Your will to be done here. Your love to be here. Your glory to be revealed in this city.
Your praises to be sung here.
and worship ...
sweet focused worship offered to You
Lord this day, we choose to worship You
We choose to give You our attention and our first thoughts.
I pray right now Lord Jesus (as I sing it):
Je - sus
be - e the cen-ter
be - e my all
Je - sus
Now I challenge every reader to just go out, before any trick or treat can be spoken over your home, and speak God's glory over your home. Speak God's holiness over your house. Pray for His presence to prevail over your home this day.
And pray against the satanistic rituals of haloween.
Lord Jesus
I pray that You will protect the many innocent children that will be exposed to satan's evil plans and schemes today and tonight.
I ask this in Your name Lord Jesus.
A - a - a - a - m - e - e - n
Can you almost hear me sing ...
I just sing to You Jesus ... We just offer to you a sacrifice of praise ... in songs
Just walking ... singing ... lead us on Holy Spirit
Come, walk with me ...
I have mapped out a route which I have prayerwalked this morning and I am about to leave on the same route right after publishing this blog.
The route takes the shape of a spiral and circles out in bigger and bigger circles throughout this city where I live in. Eventually the spiraling ends on the beach ... BUT not the prayers.
This morning, as I prayerwalked this route, I didn't have (or use) much understandable words - I just let the Holy Spirit pray through me. This was a battle in the spirit-realm. The amazing deal in that is HE is doing the battle as we let HIM use us.
So Lord please use us.
Use me.
I am standing in the gap for this nation right now. Just praying Your will to be done here. Your love to be here. Your glory to be revealed in this city.
Your praises to be sung here.
and worship ...
sweet focused worship offered to You
Lord this day, we choose to worship You

Prayerwalk-prayer for the drug addict
Even if you don't know it, I saw the sun rise this morning. I saw a new day break.
I saw the sun break through the cloudy sky
like in a red hot open flame
giving freshness to the morning dew
and a crispy chill that burns through bones and cut through skin.
And I knew you made it through a-NO-ther day
Yes ... you are at the start of a new day.
You made it through YES-ter-day
Now come, let me help you through this day TODAY
Within the first few kilometers, as I started out on my 50km walk, I felt that I could go on for the whole day.
I felt fit and ready ... I felt light and bouncy
That was when I started to pray for you.
And I mean it when I say: I came under a real conviction to pray for some specific things.
Life is really really tough for those who have given in to drugs. Those who have been caught up in the addiction and who want to get out.
Doesn't it feel like: "The world is just watching you - waiting for you to make your next mistake."
Listen ... I don't know you, but I am praying for you. I know you made it through this day - and you have a new day ahead of you. Come, allow me to pray for you. Let me pray what is on my heart and let Jesus touch you.
Lord Jesus
I bring this precious person before You right now in prayer.
This is Your beloved child Lord God. You have planned his/her life and You still have dreams and plans for this life.
But there are so many who doesn't acknowledge that those plans and purposes are still valid. I know they are, that is why I pray for this person Lord. I ask Lord that You will reveal Yourself to him/her. I ask Lord that You will let him/her feel how much You love them and I ask that You will work in the hearts of family and friends and help them to be accepting ... and supportive ... and not judgmental.
Lord, I ask from you - for this person - another chance. Lord I pray that You will give this child of Yours another chance.
Lord, I ask that You will give this person the HOPE which You have given me. That HOPE which will assure them of the things to come - even though there are consequences to being addicted (in any way) to drugs, there is HOPE. Lord I pray that You will reveal to them the true HOPE ... YOU ...
Jesus, You are the only HOPE in these desolate situations. And You work through friends and family. That is why I pray that You turn the hearts of the friends and family towards the drug addicts right now Lord. Even where there are many who have given up ... You never give up - because You love us unconditionally.
Thank You Jesus.
Lord, I pray that You will send people across their paths to encourage them. (Yes my friend, you can do it!)
Lord, please come through in this situation in miraculous ways. Lord, I pray that You will work a miracle, send an angel or intervene divinely. Because this is an area where people are led astray and they need to get to know You as the Anchor in their lives.
Lord I ask that You will bring PEACE into many lives right now. Where fear of this unknown world-of-addiction can be so blinding, I pray that You bring PEACE and touch lives and hearts with Your peace right now.
Lord there are many children who are right now INNOCENT. I pray for them Lord. I pray that You will keep them from those wrong choices which so many people are sad to have made. I pray Lord that You will just hold our dear children safe from the agony and the pain which drug abuse can bring.
Lord I just pray for INNOCENCE in childhood right now.
Sweet innocent life-loving God-fearing children.
I pray this as a blessing to everyone reading this page: To return to that FIRST LOVE. The peaceful loving relationship that You have for each of us. Addicted to Jesus!
In Your name Lord Jesus, amen.
As I started walking the longest prayerwalk of my life, I prayed these words and the more I walked, the more intense the feeling of empathy became. Just know that I have prayed this over many lives and with all my heart. You may have lost some part of your life due to drugging activities, but you still have time left. This is a new day, take it step by step.
And be encouraged that somewhere someone IS praying for you.
I didn't manage to finish the whole 50km, I only managed to finish 32 ... it took me 4 hours to get there. And those hours were spent on praying for you my friend. Don't be scared, God is with you and I am standing in the gap, praying for you.
Here ... here is my hand. Let's go ... one step at a time
You will make it.

Life is really really tough for those who have given in to drugs. Those who have been caught up in the addiction and who want to get out.
Doesn't it feel like: "The world is just watching you - waiting for you to make your next mistake."
- You need support right now
- You need to know that people trust you to stay on the "straight and narrow"
- You need to step out and feel you have the opportunity to be trusted
- You need assurance and NOT critisism
- You need LOVE and not rejection
- You need support and not war
- You need to feel unconditional love and not mistrust
- You need to have your loved ones close and not hiding from you
- You need help from even unseen forces (God/angels)
- You are scared
- You are so bitterly scared you will do anything that anyone may say
Listen ... I don't know you, but I am praying for you. I know you made it through this day - and you have a new day ahead of you. Come, allow me to pray for you. Let me pray what is on my heart and let Jesus touch you.

The "don't do drugs" far prayerwalk
The longest single prayerwalk I have done to this day was in Denmark, between Skagen and Frederickshaven. (42km)
I have not advertised the next walk because I felt something stirring in me. I wanted to make sure what the Lord is laying on my heart.
As I prepared for this walk; I more and more sensed the focus of the prayerwalk should be for our children - in the area of drug abuse.
This morning, on a prayerwalk, I prayed against drugs. I prayed that the grip that drug abuse has, would be broken. As I walked, and as I prayed this prayer, I could almost sense the resistance in the spiritual realm. This just confirmed to me that drug abuse has deep spiritual roots and we have to come against it in prayer.
I now challenge you to take time out this weekend and pray for the youth in your area. The youth in your church. The youth in your family. The youth in your home.
That they will be free from drug abuse. As you pray for this, I am sure you will also sense the oppression in this area in the spirit realm. Just pray and ask God to give you direction for this prayer.
My walk will be in Hastings, New Zealand. I plan to walk 50km, and the focus of that prayer will be for the Lord to show me many many (drug-abuse) areas into which I will be praying.
If you are personally affected by drug addiction or the addiction of relatives or friends, click here to write me now and I will pray for you (It will be confidential) on this walk.

Song from a prayerwalk
Often, as I go prayerwalking, the Holy Spirit leads me to sing specific songs over an area as I walk through it. I wrote the other day about the trees and how He gave me such fresh revelation of how He made it to be pleasing to the eye. Now the song that came from that, is still mulling through my head, I even sing it in the supermarket! I share it with the whole world - just because of His love for us.
So sing with me ... telling Him how beautiful He made creation for us to enjoy:
Here are the words and sheet music copyright free. Just worship Him with it.
Beautiful to behold
Beautiful to behold
are the works of Your hands
Beautiful to behold
are the words that You speak
Beautiful beautiful
are the trees of the field
You planned it and made it
and said that it was good,
that's why we praise Your name

Sweet sound of worship hit the walkers
I just returned from my "39 churches ... 1 hour ... 1 prayer" walk in Howick and Pakuranga in Auckland, New Zealand.
One thing which was on my heart while I walked through the area, was an "anchor". I focused on praying for the churches in the area to be places where people will get anchored. Places where the people from Howick and Pakuranga can come to get anchored in their spiritual lives. Anchored to the Word of God. Anchored to Jesus.
As I passed one church, it struck me that there was still parking space available. It really struck a chord in my heart and I prayed (and continue to pray) that the parking areas will fill up. That people will come to church, and your parking areas will overflow.
At another church their was the sweet sound of worship. I say "sweet" because it was how I perceived it - an aroma pleasing to the Lord. And as I passed, I could see that some of the athletes heard it and that they made comments about it. Filled with compassion, my prayer was this - that the sweet sounds of worshipful music will even touch the unbelievers and backslidden as they pass through in the area ... and that it will touch them in their spirit ... and make them "hungry" to know God.
Be blessed as you worship God in a wonderful unashamed way. And may you see a harvest coming from within your own community.
Lord Jesus, we just want to give You all the glory and honour. I just place You in the center of Pakuranga and Howick. You as the Anchor ... the Rock ... we have nothing else in life to turn to Lord. So I pray that the worship and the love of these 39+ churches will bring in more people to You. And that there will be a time of renewed intimacy with You Lord ... that people will once again come to their FIRST LOVE. And that there are those available to help anchor them in their faith.
In Jesus' name. Amen
Be encouraged brothers and sisters in the Lord, and know you are being prayed for; and that God is with you, as you are being prayed for from around the world.
And the race ... I did end up second in the Men's Open Category of the Walkers. (57min 48s - 10km) ...
Thank You Lord for talent, endurance, creativity, stamina and all those little things You have blessed me with. Right now Lord I think of the wheelchair-bound ones on this list. Lord I pray that You will bless them this day with a special surprise from Your Word. Lord I pray that as I used my legs which they couldn't - that you will bless them with something in their hearts which I as a walker wouldn't be able to grasp ... I pray that You just bless them with special special encouragement from Your Word, as they read it (today).
Thank You Jesus
Amen.

39 churches ... 1 hour ... 1 prayer
A new day will break on 15 October.
And it will be a new morning.
And ...
the mercies of the LORD will be new
... still fresh, as we start the prayerwalk.
I have one thing on my heart for this walk: it is to pray for unity among the 39 churches along the way. That they will step into peaceful and supportive relationships. That the bride of Christ will be ONE BRIDE ... and even as we worship in our different ways, we will be accepting towards other denominations. Loving and supportive of our fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Join me in the spirit, as many of my dear friends do when I go on my prayerwalks, by praying with me on Sunday morning 09:40 for an hour.
The event is the Sir Barry Curtis 10km race. Even though I entered as a walker; I will be prayerwalking!
I am always humbled when I announce my prayerwalks, how people from all over the world let me know how they will be joining me (in the spirit - praying). Some even wheelchair bound, others already in their 80's.
So lets pray for Howick and Pakuranga in Auckland, New Zealand. Pray before the event and let me know what the Lord lays on your heart. We will stand together in that and pray that the Lord will bless this area. That He will draw people to Him in the coming days and that there will be a spiritual revival in this area.
If you live in this area, you are welcome to join me in prayer beyond the finish line at Pakuranga Athletics club (10.40am) or just by walking in the area. After I have finished (hopefully ending within the first 5 walkers!) I would love to meet you and pray with you. I dare you to go for a walk in your area or close to your church and pray. Just step out and do it. You will be blessed.
Howick and Pakuranga, a new day is coming. A new day, bringing with it the new morning, with fresh new mercies and compassions of our God.
Let's embrace that as we celebrate in His faithfulness and draw close to Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Here is the list of 39 churches in the Howick/Pakuranga area and I encourage you to pray through the list for each church individually.
Lord, Your love is so deep and so wide.
You know each of these churches and all Your children in them,
I just ask You to bless them with a New Day
and them realising and seeing the New Day
and Your many many mercies and compassions for them.
and that they will just come closer to You
and experience Your love, and mercy in a much deeper way.
In Jesus' name. Amen

Beau-ti-ful to be-hold
What a great week of prayerwalking!
On Monday it was just getting back into the routine after a bit of muscle-resting.
Tuesday started of on a high note ... I first walked 3km and then did some fast and furious dashes. (that means I walk 100m at a slow pace and then walk very fast for the next 100m.) As I did these spped bursts - I just enjoyed the rhythm of the walking. And with that I prayed many many prayers for the people in my life and the members on this list. Yes I prayed for many of you by name - Just saying Lord, for this 100m I want to pray for * ... I would not be surprised if I get lots of emails confirming wonderful things happening on Tuesday.
Then after doing speed bursts, I did a long fast walk for 3 km. I feel in my heart to speak what I felt the Lord laid on my heart:
There are members on this list who will instantly know it is for them ... you have been on some kind of a journey for quite some time now. And you do not have a clear indication of how long it is going to last. You are getting weary and even a little bit downcast. Please hear my heart in this - p e r s e v e r e my friend. i believe I have this message from the Lord for you ... perservere because you will also finish what you need to do for the Kingdom. And take courage to just hang in there - I will be praying for you.
Wednesday the Lord spoke to me from His Word ... saying such a simple thing from Genesis 2:9 (New International Version)
And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye...
Let me tell you - on Wednesday I cried many tears when I walked past many trees (12km) and I had a sense of it being pleasing to my eyes - I saw the trees which I walked past, with new eyes. He actually made them to please me, looking at them. It is awesome to get that realisation.
Here is the (new) song that I started to sing on Wednesday - and it is still on my mind almost 3 days now:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Beautiful
To behold
Are the works
of Your hand
Beautiful
To behold
Are the words
from Your heart
Beautiful
To behold
Are the trees
that you made
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I am singing it over and over - and it is such a blessing to renew God's goodness in our hearts.
Thursday was incredible ... I love to walk on the edge with God ... into new territories ...
I felt in my heart I should go to a church where the worship team was going to practice for Sunday's service.
And to pray while they practised.
I was the only person in the church building and the worship team was on the stage, practising (Some of them knew why I was there)
Then as I sat there, praying I felt the Lord nudge me to get up and walk in the church and pray for them ... first time I did such a prayer walk. It was an awesome experience. i felt like I was within the clockwork of some huge mechanism. And I knew I was at the heart of praying for something where it really matters.
Did this touch your heart - We really need to pray more for the worship teams in our churches, and for the worship in the church. We can pray into areas where it really matters.
Friday's walk was a walk of blessing for myself ... (smile) I love how the Lord some times blesses us as we reach out to others. He suddenly He spoke to me about things I am dreaming about for my life and I just have p e a c e about where I am at and how the future will turn out for me. Peace and excitement.
I hope I have you excited now to get praying a little bit more.
Well ... and also to walk just a little bit closer to Him who wants to come-walk-with-you.
... and to take a new look at the trees ...
On Monday it was just getting back into the routine after a bit of muscle-resting.
Tuesday started of on a high note ... I first walked 3km and then did some fast and furious dashes. (that means I walk 100m at a slow pace and then walk very fast for the next 100m.) As I did these spped bursts - I just enjoyed the rhythm of the walking. And with that I prayed many many prayers for the people in my life and the members on this list. Yes I prayed for many of you by name - Just saying Lord, for this 100m I want to pray for * ... I would not be surprised if I get lots of emails confirming wonderful things happening on Tuesday.
Then after doing speed bursts, I did a long fast walk for 3 km. I feel in my heart to speak what I felt the Lord laid on my heart:
There are members on this list who will instantly know it is for them ... you have been on some kind of a journey for quite some time now. And you do not have a clear indication of how long it is going to last. You are getting weary and even a little bit downcast. Please hear my heart in this - p e r s e v e r e my friend. i believe I have this message from the Lord for you ... perservere because you will also finish what you need to do for the Kingdom. And take courage to just hang in there - I will be praying for you.
Wednesday the Lord spoke to me from His Word ... saying such a simple thing from Genesis 2:9 (New International Version)
And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye...
Let me tell you - on Wednesday I cried many tears when I walked past many trees (12km) and I had a sense of it being pleasing to my eyes - I saw the trees which I walked past, with new eyes. He actually made them to please me, looking at them. It is awesome to get that realisation.
Here is the (new) song that I started to sing on Wednesday - and it is still on my mind almost 3 days now:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Beautiful
To behold
Are the works
of Your hand
Beautiful
To behold
Are the words
from Your heart
Beautiful
To behold
Are the trees
that you made
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I am singing it over and over - and it is such a blessing to renew God's goodness in our hearts.
Thursday was incredible ... I love to walk on the edge with God ... into new territories ...
I felt in my heart I should go to a church where the worship team was going to practice for Sunday's service.
And to pray while they practised.
I was the only person in the church building and the worship team was on the stage, practising (Some of them knew why I was there)
Then as I sat there, praying I felt the Lord nudge me to get up and walk in the church and pray for them ... first time I did such a prayer walk. It was an awesome experience. i felt like I was within the clockwork of some huge mechanism. And I knew I was at the heart of praying for something where it really matters.
Did this touch your heart - We really need to pray more for the worship teams in our churches, and for the worship in the church. We can pray into areas where it really matters.
Friday's walk was a walk of blessing for myself ... (smile) I love how the Lord some times blesses us as we reach out to others. He suddenly He spoke to me about things I am dreaming about for my life and I just have p e a c e about where I am at and how the future will turn out for me. Peace and excitement.
I hope I have you excited now to get praying a little bit more.
Well ... and also to walk just a little bit closer to Him who wants to come-walk-with-you.
... and to take a new look at the trees ...

How the wrong turn lead to the right address
I was on a casual walk, on my way home when I saw a turn-off which seemed to be a short-cut home.
I decided to take it. Merely 50 steps down the road, I realised it was going to be a little longer.
Sometimes when that happens (smile) I would normally just say to the Lord: "Lord this is going to give me a little extra time, and I give myself over to Your leading, to use me to pray for the people living here."
So I just walked on and prayed as I felt the Lord laid on my heart for each house that I was passing.
Ohhh, you can think of the shock I got when I passed one particular home and the Lord prompted me to pray for some specific things for the people in there - and added to that, He prompted me to go and knock on the door and tell them I am praying for them and for those specific things. I thought I'd just continue ... but the Holy Spirit convicted me in a gentle manner to turn around.
What a surprise I got when the owner of that house turned out to be the director of a Christian mobile library service. It was wonderful to bring encouragement to a family-member-in-God.
And so I went along just rejoicing in the Lord about how He brings us to intercede for others while at the same time He works in our own hearts.
May this prayerwalk inspire you to pray for others and to bring the life and hope of Christ to the many in need.

The cloud: walked
This is my prayer as I walk New Zealand - That the Lord will be present in a tangible way ... Even in sport ... even in the church !!! And that people will live in peace, harmony and serve God in love and harmony. That religious barriers will get blurred and that the church will become the true bride of Christ. and that the splendor of the Lord will fill each of His temples (servants).
2 Chronicles 5
15 ... The trumpeters and musicians played together, praising and giving thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they loudly praised the Lord, singing:
16 “Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!”
Then a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.
17 The priests could not carry out their duties
18 because of the cloud; the Lord’s splendor filled God’s temple.
Lord I pray that You would show Your splendor to this country and that we will hunger for more of You in our lives ... and that we will truly put You in the center of our lives ... and respond to You in worship and thanksgiving ...
2 Chronicles 7
3 When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the Lord’s splendor over the temple, they got on their knees with their faces downward toward the pavement. They worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, “Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!”
Amen

Walking out the cloud ...
Join me this week as I will be walking out the cloud.
The final game of the Super 14 series was played in a cloud of mist. The conditions meant fans in the 35800 capacity stadium (all tickets were sold out) and those watching on television could see very little of the game as the players struggled to see each end of the field.
I honestly wondered if the Lord is speaking some revelation to the Christians in the 3 countries who participate in this series.
I was reminded of the how God some times uses physical signs to communicate with us. Is this just a coincidence? Three nations from across the world ... Sport is often worshipped ... For some people it is only sports that gets the honour of them lifting their hands and praising the beauty of the moment.
Is the Lord speaking to us from that "cloud"
I am challenging you to pray with me this week and find what the Lord wants us to hear.
Please share with me any revelation the Lord may speak to you.
peet@fingerbattle.com
I have a fair idea - but I would like to challenge you to pray with me … and walk out that cloud …
This is what the field looked like ... http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/417227/727681

Prayerwalker gets lost in a Psalm 18
On the way to Singapore, I asked the Lord to speak into my heart what He wants me to pray over that area, or country.
Then I just got lost in Psalm 18.
I realised His compassion and His heart for my walk there would be to pray this beautiful psalm over Singapore. I didn't have a visa to leave the airport, but after 3 hours of walking inside that huge airport, I have not even covered all of the walkways and gardens.
My walk started of with intercession for Singapore, and the countries surrounding that area. Praying was based on much of Ps 18 as well as this new song the Lord gave into my heart. It is a song to sing over that country to speak the blessing and fullness of a personal relationship with Jesus into its peoples hearts and lives.
I bless You Lord, oh Source of my strength
I praise You Lord,
..... Source of my security
I praise You Lord,
..... Source of my protection
I praise You Lord,
..... oh Source of my strength
Chorus: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In You I hide myself
..... In You I lose myself
.......... In You I find my strength
............... right now
Because you love me dearly
because you love me deeply
You hold me close to your heart
..... and I worship You
.......... and I worship You
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
How can You be
..... pleased by mortal sinners
Why would You care
..... to repay servants anyway
All I can do
..... is to live blamelessly
Chorus: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In You I hide myself
..... In You I lose myself
.......... In You I find my strength
............... right now
Because you love me dearly
because you love me deeply
You hold me close to your heart
..... and I worship You
.......... and I worship You
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I praise You Lord
..... and will not rebel
I praise You Lord
..... and heed to Your word
I bless You Lord
..... oh source of my Strength
Chorus: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In You I hide myself
..... In You I lose myself
.......... In You I find my strength
............... right now
Because you love me dearly
because you love me deeply

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The intercession moved into praying for people. And for their eyes being opened to such a wonderful God. Just those souls wandering around ... the ones working there, the ones waiting for flights, the ones sitting ... waiting ... and
those many many eyes.
empty eyes
eyes not seeing the truth
eyes downcast
eyes on the world of imitated happiness
eyes blinded to the wonderful salvation of Jesus
eyes open but ... blind
eyes not yet open to His clear call:
"come walk with Me"
Yes we pray for them Father
We pray they will come
We pray they will walk with us ... walk with You
We pray this over Singapore, in Jesus' name
Amen

Prayerwalker dissappears for 10 hours
When my plane leaves Auckland, New Zealand at 3 the afternoon of 16 March, I am told that I would arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa at 7 in the morning, the 17 March.
That is 16 hours
On my ticket it states I will fly to Singapore for 10 hours 25 minutes, leaving at 3 in the afternoon from Auckland to Singapore. There I wait for 5 hours 50 minutes for the flight to Johannesburg - which will last 10 hours 45 minutes.
That is 27 hours.
and that means I will be missing for 11 hours !!
Keeping in mind that I fly "back" into the timezones - halfway across the world makes it balance out - but ...
Just to let you know - the next prayerwalk will happen during the 10 hours when I will be missing on my virtual time-travel journey.
It will be in Singapore - some time between 3pm March 16 and 7am March 17 ... exactly the same time when I will dissappear for 11 hours.
So I invite you to send me prayer requests relating to the EAST. Do you have friends/family in Singapore, or in the East. Now is a good time to send your prayer requests.
... and it will be a good time to join me in the spirit, praying who knows when (smile).
... and it will be a good time to join the Lord as He calls: "come walk with Me"
yes Lord ... here we come ...

come walk with Me
I awoke in the early hours of the night from noises in the house. This house is next to a forest and there may be a number of reasons why things go tic or toinc at night.
Anyway, it must have been anything between 2 and 4 in the morning. The sounds stopped and as I lay in silence, I realised (in my spirit) that there were angels in the room.
How can I describe it, but say to you I sensed them in my spirit. They weren't visible, but I had this awareness that something peaceful and loving was in the room. There were 3 of them; and even though they weren't visible to the naked eye, I felt they were huge, reaching to the ceiling. I was lying on my back and 2 were on my sides, left and right and the 3rd was above me - standing over my heart.
I became aware of God's presence in the room. and I started to pray. In a way just talking to the Lord. As I did this, I felt in my spirit that the angels were praising Him. So I praised Him with them. There was a heavenly rhythm in that praise. A deep joyful unexplainable rhythm which was part of the praise that was sung in the room.
The Lord spoke in a very gentle way into my heart; telling me to go take a shower. As I got up He nudged me to take a fresh set of clothes.
I took a set of clean clothes and I was very aware of the symbolism of being washed clean, and then putting on a set of clean clothes. I then asked the Lord why he sent angels. I wanted to go online and search for information about angels. I wanted to go to the online bible and read what the bible says.
The Lord spoke gently into my heart saying: "Let My Holy Spirit teach you things from My Word".
I perceived this was first something which the Lord wanted to do for me personally. A song came into my thoughts and I just hummed it under my breath ...
"Something happened
and I know
He touched me
He touched me
and He made me whole"
I prayed that the Lord would lead me into His word and speak to me some revelation. I put myself in that place of "washing away of sins", asking the Lord to be the soap, the water, the heat and to wash away all my sins.
. . .
He clothed my spirit with a new garment:
"come walk with Me. my angels are here for your protection. Around you and also over your heart. My Peace I give to you"
For He Himself is our Peace (Eph 2:14)
In Him, His whole church is joined together (His bride)
In Him we are being knitted together to become a dwelling place where He can live, by His Spirit
"come walk with Me"
He asked of me ... as He is asking each of us
"come walk with Me"
A new walk in faith
A new fullness
Thank You Jesus

NEW walk in NEW Zealand
I went out for a walk this morning and as I started out, the Lord laid on my heart, this list of 42 people. I had such a good time walking and interceding, that I would not be surprised if you knew about it in your heart, before I told you so (smile)...
Bill, as you go to Denmark, I have on my heart a nr 8 spanner (wrench) ... you are shaped and made to a specific size and stature my friend. and as you go to Denmark, you will fix some specific "bolts and nuts" (hearts) by just being who the Lord made you to be in those situations. No strife, or struggling ... just a tight fit and fixing the prepared hearts for HIS glory. Lord we just pray for the preparation of those hearts right now ... Lord ...
Dee, a new heartbeat is what I feel for you. A new deeper heartbeat in the same rythm as our Father's heartbeat. A walk so close to the Lord's will - you are moving into exiting new times with the Lord dear one.
and then for you dear reader - hear this.
A soft and gentle rain. A wind blowing out the rubbish and water washing away the dirt. and then the rain ... oh the rain ... the water ... The Holy Spirit coming into your lives in a fresh new way. I saw it in so many lives and pray it for you right now ... The Holy Spirit just drawing you closer and in this we give glory to our King !!
I encourage you to walk closer to Him than you did yesterday. Just a little step at a time ...
Be blessed my friend as you read this, knowing HE is reading it with you and is waiting for that little step right now.
Oh we just praise You Jesus. Our great and magnificent King
amen and amen
