LET THERE BE LIGHT

   Posted by: pastordiehl   in Uncategorized

Sunday afternoon many of us participated in the first community prayer walk. We divided into 13 geographical zones, each with about six or seven praying people. My group trudged across the field next to the church to a cul-de-sac in the County Village subdivision of Waterloo. From there we walked the streets of the entire neighborhood praying for each home.

One of the residents came out to thank us for praying for their neighborhood. I don’t know how she knew about us praying. One of the gals in our group felt impressed that there was a little girl being abused in one of the homes. Although this was an upscale development of newer homes, there still was the feeling of spiritual oppression and darkness in those homes. I suppose affluence does not break the sin problem.

When we returned there were many testimonies from those who participated. Let’s continue to keep prayers lifted up for those in the Waterloo community. And let’s pray that the words of our God would be prophetic in Waterloo: “Let there be Light!”

What was your impression of our prayer walk?

My prayer was often directed by what I could tell about the occupants–toys left out in the yard meant small children, for instance. It’s amazing what you can notice when you take the time. It’s like that with people, too.

I was very impressed the Prayer Walk idea. Many years ago a new little church opened up in Edgerton. Many people were very critical of this small church their location in downtown Edgerton. I don’t know how much of the negativity got back to the pastor, if any. But after getting established one of the first things this body of Christ did was begin a weekly Parayer Walk through the streets of Edgerton. Edgerton is a lovely small town with a minimal amont of seen crime. We live in a nice subdivision of this lovely townand have akways felt safe and comfortable But I was very appreciative to know that my little corner of my little town was being covered in prayer on a weekly basis. I am sure that many unseen attacks in many homes were thwarted by God’s army taking and offensive approach. I hope our church keeps this going on a regular basis.
