What is prayer walking?
- Prayer walking is, simply, walking while praying. You walk with Jesus with open eyes, both physically and spiritually. It is a practical way to pray. When we prayer walk in the presence of the Holy Spirit, God begins to speak to our hearts through what we see with our physical eyes, but then He also gives us a glimpse into His invisible eternal world through our spiritual eyes.
Why should you prayer walk?
- Prayer walking prepares the way for God’s Spirit to move. It can also aide in breaking the power of evil over a place.
- You see firsthand what is going on in the area.
- It’s an adventure with God.
- Your ears are more sensitive to promptings of the Holy Spirit in the area.
- It is a practical way to practice focused praying for your neighbors, your neighborhood, or your city.
- It helps you to focus on God’s Kingdom purposes and His glory, not “self”.
How can you pray during prayer walk?
