Prayer Walking

This short video points out three helpful insights when trying on the Spiritual Discipline of Prayer Walking:

https://youtu.be/itA74C4BtuU

1. Find out about your community/neighborhood/ school's history
A. What are its gifts/legacies?
B. What needs to be redeemed?

2. Pray and ask God for revelation about what God wants you to know more about your community/neighborhood/schools.

3. Pray and ask God to open your eyes to strongholds in the community, and how to fill the empty spaces and bless the community/neighborhood/schools.

As we continue to "walk out" our lives with daring faith, Jesus will be right beside us, holding our hands, reminding us that "what is impossible with men is possible with God." Lk 18:27.
Lent is the time to remember that Jesus turned crucifixions into resurrections.
He specializes in the impossible! ✨✨✨
And nothing is too big to prayer walk for, and redeem and bless in our neighborhoods/communities/schools....
What may look like a dead end to us and fills us with anxiety and despair(the drugs, bullying, violence, addictions, suicides in our schools or the politics and uncivil behavior of our neighborhood and communities)- those are exactly the places that God wants us to walk out into....and redeem them to reveal His glory.✨✨✨ St. Patrick is a wonderful model today- he walked out his daring faith all over Ireland to redeem the country back to God (and legend has it that he even chased out all the serpents out of Ireland). What a beautiful picture of prayer walking deliverancešŸ€šŸ€šŸ€

29th Day of Lent: Seeing God's Heart for Order: Genesis Moments

Genesis 1:1-3: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. As we look at God's heart for order this week of Lent, we all know to some depth and breadth the truth that in the very genesis moments of our own births and days in this world, we all seek how to bring order and meaning out of each new experience in the world. Because we are all created in God's image and likeness, we are on this quest to bring God's order into the world- to see that it is "good." That the world exists at all reveals something about God. God...

18th Day of Lent: Seeing God’s Heart of Mercy Mercy is God’s “Slow Thinking”

One of the greatest pitfalls that we face these days is a " rush to judgment".. That's a phrase made (in)famous during the "OJ" Simpson trial by his attorney Johnnie Cochran.   Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel prize in 2002 for his research in behavioral economics, specifically judgment and decision-making.  His best selling book "Thinking Fast and Slow" exposes the faults and biases of our "fast thinking"....(our rush to judgment)....the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, overconfidence in corporate strategies, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation! Each of these decisions can be understood only by knowing how the two systems of "fast thinking" and "slow thinking"  work together to shape our judgments and decisions.   Both have benefits:  like "fast thinking" keeps you safe in emergencies where you mus...

36th Day of Lent - Holy Tuesday - Authority: Jesus is Questioned by the Religious Leaders

Matthew 21:23-23:39. Holy Tuesday is often referred to as the Day of questions. As Jesus continued to teach in the temple, He was approached by the chief priests and scribes about His authority to teach. Rather than give a direct answer, Jesus questioned them about the baptism of John. They are trapped, and no doubt more infuriated after listening to the parable of the wicked tenants. So they changed tactics and asked the disciples, "Is it lawful to pay taxes the the emperor or not?" Jesus, of course aware of their malicious intent, answered for the disciples (and for us, too)....Yes, we must all pay our taxes.šŸ˜¢ So on this day of questions, Jesus made it quite clear that His authority comes from God, but at the same time He recognized the authority in this world. We are citizens of two worlds, and in both Authority must be obeyed. But God's authority is divine and able to penetrate the souls of all, unveiling the hypocrisy or unjust laws of the...
