Report-back from the Friendship prayer-walk
I have much to say about this prayer-walk, but let me start by saying this:
North Shore City (Auckland), where I prayer-walked is not lying on any major fault-line, therefore earthquakes in the region are relatively rare.
At daybreak I started walking and praying as I passed and stopped at various churches.
Then something awesome happened ... and for now, I will start off by telling only about that incident. (More about the prayer-walk will follow later.)
In the afternoon, at 16:20 I was walking towards a church which I could see from a distance. I have just crossed over a steep hill, and was going from a populated area into a park-like open valley. I normally take some notes when I am prayer-walking and at that time I made these notes:
"I don't know of a kind of a fault-line in the spirit realm ... but as I came into this valley, it just felt like a dense cloud of depression hanging low over the area. It felt like some kind of tension was holding it together. I can best describe it by saying it felt like a spiritual fault-line ..."
I believe that prayer changes the spirit-realm, and therefore I was praying there right then. I prayed and left it there, continuing my walk.
I finished the prayer-walk as planned at 18:15.
Later in the evening, in our home-group meeting, at around 20:45 we started praying, and as a group we were really having intimate prayer-time with God ... and while we were praying, at 9 pm, an earthquake shook the Auckland region.
The quake (4.5 on the Richter scale) was the largest experienced in Auckland for 37 years.
I was shaken ...
Is this all just coincidence?
* A spiritual fault-line ...
* An earthquake like none in many years ...
* Prayer driven by the Holy Spirit ...
I leave the explaining over to your own interpretation. What do you make of it all?
This is what I believe ... prayer changes things in the spirit-realm. And when we pray, it sets things in motion which we don't even understand.
This day, it is quite possible that God showed us He will shake the world for us, just because of a change in the spirit-realm ...
True stories from prayer-walks and pilgrimages where the dust of the road meets the grace of God. From the forgotten paths of the Karoo to the ruins of Ghana, these are testimonies of divine whispers, unexpected provision, and gentle encounters that remind us every step is a prayer and every journey is led by Him. Step by step, footprint by footprint.

Awesome blog! I just stumbled across it, and interestingly had read about the earthquake here in Auckland last night. I pray God's blessings as you walk and pray and share, may you be refreshed, renewed and inspired.
This posting was awesome.
