What is Prayer Walking? • It’s following the example that Jesus gave us, to go out by 2’s (if possible) Luke 10. • “Standing in the gap” by praying for people. Ezekiel 22:30-31. • Jesus gave us authority over the enemy. Luke 10:19 • Seeking God’s guidance in whom to approach. Matt. 18:14 Pray, then Pray Some More A church in Phoenix, Arizona did an experiment. They chose 160 names from a phone book & divided them in half. 80 names were prayed over for 90 days. Then they called all 160 people. Of the ones not prayed for only one said “yes”. Of the ones they DID pray for, 69 people said “yes”! IF you PRAY… God will do the heavy lifting!!
