Greetings from RUNNAT Committee,

I am very excited as I am sure many of you are from the many testimonies, about our coming RUN NAT 2010 on May 22nd 5am. I am sure some of you have organized little prayer runs/ prayer walks since October 10, 2009. Just as we need to run regularly to stay fit and increase our endurance, so similarly Prayer / Intercession needs to be done daily to keep our spirit in tune with the heart of God. I liken prayer to pushing a heavy 25 feet high sliding steel door, you need to keep pushing to gather momentum, the moment you stop, you will find that you have to triple your efforts to get it moving again. Prolonged periods without prayer/ intercession leave me dry spiritually, I become lost for words, insensitive to people around me, insensitive to God and to the heart of God regarding the 7 mountains/realms or spheres affecting Malaysia. (Commerce, Government, Science & Technology, Media, Arts/Entertainment, Sports, Religion, Education. Family.)

How do I pray daily to keep my oil filled? I go for prayer walks after breakfast, lunch and dinner. As I walk I worship, praise, speak declaration, speak/sing in tongues. Walking around my neigbourhood , reveals many burdens as I look at people, houses , offices, parks, government buildings, banks, shopping centres. From the micro level of my neigbourhood, I begin to have burdens for the national level (the nation). Even during my workday, as I interact with people, read newspapers, I collect information, have revelations that I store in my heart that will be released in prayer as I do my prayer walks.

I find it is important to store information, burdens of prayer, word of God , worship songs in our hearts because as I prayer walk there is no opportunity to look up books, bibles etc, you just have to know it. Similarly with a prayer run, the more we pray regularly, do prayer walks, survey and watch what is going on, the more productive our prayer run (RUN FOR THE NAITON) on May 22nd will be as we pray for the nation with the same concern , compassion, righteousness, heartbeat as God.

So let’s start praying daily especially now with so many issues affecting our beloved nation Malaysia whom we cherish and love.
