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🍀🍀🍀

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.

Day 7 of Lent: Seeing God's Heart of Abundance Over Scarcity

“Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.  And all ate and were filled.”   -Mk. 6:41-42 Jesus radically disrupts how the world was thought to be.  The wilderness, the “deserted place” in the story, was where there was no viable life-support system.  He thought he was going there to rest, but he was met by a big crowd of those who were drawn to him.  They believed he would indeed disrupt their failed world, though they knew not how. Jesus did not disappoint them.  He was moved with great compassion when he saw the hungry crowd.  He had his stomach turned by their need.  He engaged their hunger, because they lived in a false world without resources.   His disciples accepted the barren wilderness without resources as a given;...

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...
