PrayerwalkingRecent years have seen a surge of inter-

cessors walking through their neighborhoods, praying both silently and aloud for their neigh-bors. Other intercessors have followed God’s leading to travel to distant lands to intercede for the lost peoples of those places. Certainly prayer is biblical. But prayerwalking? Is it really valid and effective or just a passing “fad”?

Prayerwalking has ... God as its author Jesus as its leader The Holy Spirit as its enabler And kingdom purposes as its ends.

reveals that in the beginning man and woman were created to walk with God. Men such as Enoch and Noah are described as ones who “walked with God.” It was God’s intention that we experience this most intimate and con-fidential of relationships with Him. Rebellion brought an end to the “walk,” but God through Christ redeemed us that we might again walk with Him.

accelerated, God did a new thing. Beginning in the mid-1970s, believers through out the world began to sense His leading to move out of the church buildings and the prayer closets and intercede in the world. This kind of moving, on-site intercession has become known as prayerwalking. It is walking and talking with God, hearing and heeding His voice, seeing and sensing as He does.

Preparing to walk1. Recognize that God is calling you to join Him

in prayer in the world. Say, “Yes!”2. Stay prepared to walk with Him by confess-

ing any hidden sin.3. Read and meditate on God’s Word to frame

your prayers in perfect accordance with His will.

4. Invite the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide you daily.

5. Be ready to obey Him whether He leads you to another neighborhood or another country.

Stepping out1. Keep your eyes and ears open. Be alert and respond in prayer.2. Listen, then speak. Feel free to

pray silently and aloud. Praise Him and worship as you walk.

3. Find a partner or two, or organize a group, for intentional prayer-walks. In incidental prayerwalking, expect to normally pray alone.

4. Move slowly so that God may move fully in and through you.

5. Claim God’s promises. Bless the people around you. Ask of God His greatest desires for them.

6. Anticipate the devil’s interference. Resist him, firm in your faith, and continue moving for-ward under God’s protection.

7. Expect God to answer your prayers. Be ready to share a word of greeting and encourage-ment to those you meet, as well as a witness to the hope that is within you.

8. Tell people that you are praying for them and their neighborhood. Ask if there is any need that you could bring to God for them. Pray right then with them.

The praying church in the world is the kingdom come.The prayerwalking church in the world is the kingdom coming.

Types of prayerwalkingDevotional. All prayerwalking begins with and then issues from our personal prayerwalk with God.

Incidental. As we walk with God through the responsibilities and activities of our day, we will find Christ prompting us to intercede for others around us. This is incidental prayerwalking. Incidental to our normal work in the world, God uses us as intercessors.

Intentional. Strategically important are our planned and organized times of on-site interces-sion as God directs. These could be as simple as an evening prayerwalk through our neighborhood or as involved as leading a prayer team overseas.

A volunteer team from Mississippi prayer walked around a middle school in Taiwan. The purpose was to prepare the way for Easter skits to be performed there the following month. As the team put their hands on the school’s gate to pray, the gate began to slide open! Missionary Danette Thrush, who accompanied the team, writes: “I felt very strongly the Lord telling me, ‘I am opening the way for My Word to be shared here.’” The skits performed by a South Carolina team were well received. It also became obvious that the Lord was working on the head of the school’s English department, who saw the Easter skit three times and translated it.

To talk is static. To walk is active.

To praye rw alk is dynamic.

Day 1 — Luke 1:11-20An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and overcome with fear. But the angel said to him: Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. There will be joy and delight for you, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or beer. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb. He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. “How can I know this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.” The angel an-swered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news. Now listen! You will become silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

Just like Zechariah, after many disappointments it is easy to begin to believe the blessing will never come. Pray we will believe it is the Lord’s desire to save all nations.

Day 2 — Luke 1:21-25Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah, amazed that he stayed so long in the sanctuary. When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained speechless. When the days of his ministry were completed, he went back home. After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclu-sion for five months. She said, “The Lord has done this for me. He has looked with favor in these days to take away my disgrace among the people.”

When the Spirit of God moves and things begin to happen, pray that we will remember where the blessing has come from and praise Him.

Day 3 — Luke 1:38“I am the Lord’s slave,” said Mary. “May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.

Pray that we will submit to our Father with humility and awe that He would use even us to fulfill his plans for the ______________________________.

Day 4 — Luke 1:76-79And child, you will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins. Because of our God’s merciful compassion, the Dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Pray we will prepare the way for the Lord to enter the hearts of the _____________________________.

Day 5 — Luke 2:15When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

Pray that the ______________________________ will come to see what the Lord has done.

Day 6 — Luke 2:17After seeing (them), they reported the message they were told about this child.

Pray that as the ______________________________ hear about Jesus, they will spread the Word.

Day 7 — Luke 2:20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told.

Pray that the ______________________________ will return to their own people and neighborhoods, glorifying and praising God.

Day 8 — Luke 3:6“And everyone will see the salvation of God.”

Pray that all mankind will see God’s salvation.

Day 9 — Luke 3:16John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but One is coming who is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”

Pray that the _______________________________ will see beyond us to Jesus, who is more powerful and can baptize them with the Holy Spirit.

Day 10 — Luke 4:14Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread throughout the entire vicinity.

Pray the news about Jesus would spread throughout the whole countryside.

Day 11 — Luke 4:38-39After He left the synagogue, He entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him about her. So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and began to serve them.

Pray that as the _______________________________ are healed they will get up and begin to serve Jesus immediately.

Day 12 — Luke 5:4-5When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing! But at Your word, I’ll let down the nets.”

Pray that we will be obedient and “put out into deep water” whenever the Lord calls us to do so.

Day 13 — Luke 5:6-8When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!”

Pray that when the harvest comes we will be overwhelmed with humility in the face of God’s awesome blessing.

Day 14 — Luke 5:16Yet He often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.

Pray that we will constantly withdraw from the crowds to listen to God’s voice.

Day 15 — Luke 5:26Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe and said, “We have seen incredible things today!”

Pray that the _______________________________ will be amazed at God’s works and praise Him alone.

Day 16 — Luke 5:27-28After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So, leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow Him.

Pray that as the _______________________________ are called, they will get up and follow Jesus, leaving behind everything that binds them.

Day 17 — Luke 5:34-35Jesus said to them, “You can’t make the wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you? But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them — then they will fast in those days.”

Pray that God’s people will fast and pray for the _______________________________ to be saved.

Day 18 — Luke 6:9-11Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” After looking around at them all, He told him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored. They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Pray that both we and the _____________________will be repentant instead of angry when our sinful at-titudes are pointed out.

Day 19 — Luke 6:35-36But love your enemies, do (what is) good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. Be merci-ful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Pray that we will love the ______________________no matter how we are treated in return.

Day 20 — Luke 7:18-23Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord, asking, “Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?” When the men reached Him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask You, ‘Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’” At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people. He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news preached to them. And anyone who is not offended because of Me is blessed.”

When the Lord comes in a way we are not expecting, pray we will not fall away in unbelief.

Day 21 — Luke 7:30But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.

Pray that the religious leaders among the _______________________________ would not reject God’s purposes for them.

Day 22 — Luke 7:41-48“A creditor had two debtors. One owed 500 denarii, and the other 50. Since they could not pay it back, he graciously forgave them both. So, which of them will love him more?” Simon answered, “I suppose the one he forgave more.” “You have judged correctly,” He told him. Turning to the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for My feet, but she, with her tears, has washed My feet and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing My feet since I came in. You didn’t anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Pray that the _____________________________ will have a right heart before Jesus and “love much.” All the knowledge we can teach them about Jesus is worthless if it does not produce a right heart.

Day 23 — Luke 8:15But the seed in the good ground — these are the ones who, having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring, bear fruit.

Pray that both we and the ________________________would with good hearts hear, retain, persevere and produce a crop.

Day 24 — Luke 9:24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.

Pray both we and the ________________________ will learn to give up our lives for Jesus so that we can find true life.

Day 25 — Luke 9:62But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Pray new Christians among the _______________________________ will not turn back.

Day 26 — Luke 10:2He told them: “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the har-vest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Pray that God will send workers from the _______________________________ back into the harvest field.

Day 27 — Luke 10:13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!”

Pray that the __________________________________ will respond to the Lord’s miracles in true repentance.

Day 28 — Luke 10:27He answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

Pray that the _______________________________ will love the Lord with all their heart, soul, strength and mind.

Day 29 — Luke 10:30-37Jesus took up (the question) and said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead. A priest hap-pened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan on his journey came up to him, and when he saw (the man), he had compassion. He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for what extra you spend.’ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” “The one who showed mercy to him,” he said. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”

Pray that we will go out of our way to show mercy to the _________________________________.

Day 30 — Luke 10:39She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what He said.

Pray that we would turn from our busy-ness and sit at the feet of Jesus.

Jesus came into the world 2,000 years ago to reveal God’s plan to bring all people into a right relationship with Himself. But the task is not complete until every nation and every people of every language have heard. Ask Jesus what part He desires you to play in completing the un-finished task of loving the lost.
