Moveable boiler room

First off; thanks to all who came out to pray last Thursday night, for the walkers and worshipers.
Our prayer walk coincided with Scottish pipers serenading the shoppers, we prayed, we declared and we moved against the flow. Always the way!
Some of us had just seen the appliqué picture of the river flowing from the temple in May St's Sanctuary Cafe [No Quasimodo jokes please!]- check out Ezekiel 47, so we flowed out with the Spirit.
Prayer that flowed:
for the city,
for warfare (bagpipe -a weapon of war) in the Spirit,
against the sins of invasion
for the people
against the darkness, the satanic web that tries to cover and deceive people into consumerism etc
against the ### shop in Smithfield, near where the old city gates were
repentance for the sexual sin that is prevalent in the church
for the media
for the people who are attracted to The Front Page (underage ) and the Kremlin (gay) bars
for Christians to infiltrate there and be salt and light
for true intimacy
contact with the gay community...
We then came across two couples, one female, one male at the front of the Kremlin, the male couple were J... and his friend who were both very young and high/drunk. They asked us to walk with them and then disappeared across the road for J...'s friend to retrieve his school blazer and bag from another bar (Mint). J...'s friend's parting words as he staggered across the road through the traffic were "I'm the next generation of Belfast you know!" Some of us wept as we prayed for him...
Walking towards the front of St. Anne's we met a woman at Writers Square who said "Can I borrow a phone? I can't find my husband!" We obliged, Chrissie shared Jesus with her as the rest of us prayed. Prayer for missing husbands.
As we walked down Donegal St towards North St. we were met by some well dressed gentlemen of the masonic persuasion so felt led to go pray outside their haunt in Rosemary St, and for the clairvoyant who frequents the rooms above Fresh Garbage.

It would be great to see you all at May St next week. Please tell your friends. We might not be walking but that should become a regular occurrence in future; there's lots we haven't let the soles of our feet touch and claim yet.

Next Thursday can we make it a worship and prayer night?
So calling all musicians, and worshippers
let us worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Bring an instrument, and your voice, and a song to share -1Cor 14:26.
