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 deliverance🍀🍀🍀

The River Hopes: Let's Get this Party Started.

Unstuck. It’s been almost three years. My husband and I came back from living and serving overseas in the fall of 2014. It was supposed to be only a year, but God had other plans as our parents health declined. Jim figured out how to make continued ministry to pastors in Asia work…commuting.  I’ve been finding ways to be useful, and knowing the Lord has things to teach me in transition. But, last December a handful of  The River  women prayed after church about how we could pitch in with the Refugee crisis... and... something started brewing: "The River Hopes" In January Pastor Todd invited some folks together to talk about our direction regarding outreach as a church. We know  the church is individual believers in community , and not just those few who happened to make it to an evening meeting, so... The consensus was that we should have a better grasp of  what we’re already doing  before we decide where we should concentrate moving fo...

23rd Day of Lent: Seeing God's Heart of Cosmic Generosity in Creation

When you hear the word generosity,  what is your first impulse?   Is it to think of  generosity as a finite  "how much"  question?  "How much" do I need to give? Or how much should I give to be (come) a generous person?  God never asks "how much!" Instead, He models extravagant, infinite, continuous cosmic generosity-  It is on display everywhere in His visible creation. Take a moment and ponder the universe.   In our galaxy there are 100,000 million stars, like our sun.  Our galaxy is one of 100,000 million galaxies.   There are 25,000 varieties of orchids.   And The orchid is just one of 270,000 species of flowers.   God does not do things by halves.  He multiplies-  (like the fish and loaves, the land overflowing with milk and honey,  and the daily manna and quail). This should disabuse us of the way we might ...

Day 6 Lent: Seeing God’s Heart for Abundance Over Scarcity

“Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil.”  Mt. 4, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4 We first see here God’s abundance in filling Jesus FULL of the Holy Spirit.   And we also see that it is the Spirit who led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus faced three temptations in the desert, all in His Humanity, and not in His Divinity! These three temptations remain universal temptations throughout history that all humans must face before we take on any kind of power-as Jesus is about to do in starting His ministry. They are all temptations to the misuse of power for purposes other than God’s grand abundant project for us. 1.  The first temptation to convert stones into Bread signifies the temptation to misuse our practical everyday power (the appetites of our flesh - when we are hungry for money, success, pride, lust, envy, wrat...
