Action for Canada's annual Prayer Walk for Revival is a seven-week, seven-day event where believers are encouraged to pray for revival in their local, provincial, and federal government buildings, schools, media outlets, and places of authority.
00:00:00.000Hello, friends. I'd like to spend just a few moments talking to you about Action for Canada's annual Prayer Walk for Revival.
00:00:10.200We get two common questions that I'd like to answer. The first one is, what is a Prayer Walk for Revival?
00:00:16.540And the second one is, how can I get involved? Well, to answer the first question, what is a Prayer Walk for Revival?
00:00:22.600In the book of Joshua, chapter 6, we read about Israel's conquest of Canaan. The first city that they came to was that great fortified city of Jericho.
00:00:33.300And God gave the instructions to his people that for the first six days, they were to walk around that city once a day.
00:00:41.100And on the seventh day, they were to walk around that city seven times, then blow the shofar and shout a great shout of victory, for God had given them the victory.
00:00:50.520As it turns out, those great fortified walls surrounding the city fell down. The Israelites were able to go in and conquer the city.
00:00:59.420And so, in essence, a Prayer Walk for Revival is like a Jericho walk. It is walking prayerfully and with purpose.
00:01:08.360Now, how can you get involved? Well, there's a number of ways that you can get involved.
00:01:12.660If you don't already belong to an Action for Canada chapter, you can go on our website at actionforcanada.com slash chapters and you can find the closest chapter near you.
00:01:24.660Now, if there isn't a chapter near you, you can always start a Prayer Walk on your own as believers.
00:01:31.280Or, we are hoping that churches will take the initiative on themselves.
00:01:37.820We are even encouraging pastors to call maybe other pastor friends and say,
00:01:42.960Hey, we are going to be doing this Prayer Walk for seven weeks in our town. Let's join up together.
00:01:49.820And so, pastors, we are encouraging you to plan this seven-week Prayer Walk for Revival,
00:01:55.920usually lasting from Passover to Pentecost, and those dates change a little bit every year.
00:02:02.640But, we are encouraging you to gather in some strategic locations in your town and in your city and in your villages.
00:02:11.560And here's how we propose for you to do that.
00:02:14.420Gather your people to pray around municipal buildings, government buildings, places of authority.
00:02:21.600Gather at the flagpoles of those places because those are places of authority.
00:02:52.380Pray for the principals and the teachers that feel they have a duty to teach the CSC curriculum,
00:02:58.420the comprehensive sexual education to our children.
00:03:02.520Pray that their eyes would be open to the vileness of that curriculum.
00:03:07.560And pray for the protection of our children.
00:03:11.340Pray around public libraries where there's so many vile books available to our children.
00:03:17.020If there are pride roots in your town and your city, walk up and down those pride roots.
00:03:22.440And pray against the vileness that defiles those streets each and every summer.
00:03:27.400If there's media outlets in your city, pray around those places and pray that some of those media people will be bold enough to start telling the truth.
00:05:15.120But the important thing is to go ahead and take action and do something for those seven weeks.
00:05:20.520We are asking that if you are going to participate as a church or as a small group, please connect with us so we can network with you.
00:05:30.360Send us an email at pastors at actionforcanada.ca.
00:05:34.360And we're also asking people who participate, be it our Action for Canada chapters or small groups or churches, to send us some photos of your prayer walks or some short videos.
00:05:47.060Every year we put together some picture collages and we have two or three that we like to do every year just to encourage everyone across Canada to see what God is doing through these prayer walks.
00:05:59.440And we have incredible testimonies to share.
00:06:01.500So, again, send us your photos, your short videos, your testimonies at pastors at actionforcanada.ca.
00:06:09.840So, I hope that answers your questions as to what a prayer walk is and how to get involved.
00:06:15.480And we are so encouraged for everyone that gets involved.
00:06:19.040So, thank you for participating and God bless you.
00:06:23.960God bless your Action for Canada chapter.
