What is Prayer Walking?
Prayer walking is just what is sounds like; praying to God while walking around. Instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, we keep our eyes open to the needs we see around us and ask God to intervene!
It is simply praying on-site with insight (observation) and inspiration (revelation). What you see you pray for. It is a form of prayer that is visible, verbal and mobile. It’s usefulness is twofold: to gain spiritual awareness, and to release the power of God’s word in specific places, and for particular people. It is praying in the very places you expect God to bring forth answers to your prayers. As Steve Hawthorne writes, “Be sure God is addressed, and the people are blessed”
Some people ask if this a biblical way to pray? While there is no direct command to pray this way, Paul did write to the Ephesians, “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all types of prayer and supplication…” (Eph 6:18). Prayer Walking is simply one of the types of praying, and engaging with God in a lifestyle of ‘praying in the Spirit.’ As you are walking, you are talking to God. Paul also commanded us to ‘pray without ceasing,’ which would certainly include times that we are walking through the everyday stuff of life!
We want to encourage you as you walk, bike, or drive to pray for God’s blessing over your cities, neighborhoods, schools, business’, and public gathering places, asking for God’s name to be revealed that it might be revered throughout your city!
You can walk together in pairs or triplets, or gather in small groups in specific places throughout the city - As you walk,
ASK the Holy Spirit to direct your steps
WORSHIP through extolling God’s names & nature.
MIX & MINGLE conversation with praise & praying.
PRAY SCRIPTURE to release God’s blessing.
WALK the streets, cover the ground in prayer.
ENTER & PRAY through buildings.
LINGER & LISTEN in particular places.
WATCH and LOOK for outward clues (as you look on places and faces) pay attention to inward promptings from the Holy Spirit on how and what to pray for
and at times STOP & PRAY for people as the Lord leads.
He will lead each one of you .. and be encourage to pray in bold faith, he will release his power in response to your prayers!
After your prayer walk maybe take a few minutes to share with each other ...
WHAT did you observe or experience?
SHARE any surprise “divine appointments” or insights.
TAKE a few pictures or short videos of some of the places you prayer walked
DISCERN together 2-3 key prayer points for ongoing prayer and then close your time in corporate prayer and worship together!
How Do I Pray during a ‘Prayer walk’
- Praying the Bible – Praying the promises of God’s written Word. Click for a list of key verses to use.
- Informed Intercession – Praying for the felt needs of things we know God wants to change in our families, cities and nations for His glory and our Joy
- Prophetic Intercession – Hearing from the Lord by revelation how he wants us to pray specifically for the things on his heart.
- Breakthrough Prayer – exercising the delegated authority we have ‘in the name of Jesus,’ asking God to bind and restrain the demonic principalities and powers that are resisting the advance of the gospel, and loose his grace and power on behalf of others.
Hope you can join us in covering theses cities in prayer as teams prayer walk their cities! www.110cities.com
We love you, we bless you and we look forward to seeing how God will do immeasurably more than all we could ever ask or even imagine, all for His Glory for our Joy and for the salvation of the peoples of India!
Amen and Amen!
