The Bible says in Matthew 18:19 & 20 – “Again, I (Jesus) tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” Because of His Promise, the power of God flows through our prayer to make a difference in the matters in which we intercede on behalf of our country.

There is transforming power through prayer runs. As we head down the streets with prayer, communities are being transformed. It’s NOT an act of boasting how much we are praying for the country, rather it is about ushering the presence of God through each step we take on the streets into the communities around the area. As we intercede, we are ushering God’s presence to enter our land in the spiritual realms to bring revival to our beloved country.

During RunNat2009, one of the Runners who took part brought along three things as the team started their prayer run. As the trio ran, one of them started spreading mustard seeds (representing faith as written in the Bible), salt (another symbol of faith from the Bible) and olive oil (symbolising God’s anointing) along the streets which they stepped on. This is an act of ushering God’s presence into the community to make a difference.

At RunNat, the focus is NOT on the Run itself. Everyone can run; not everyone would run and pray at the same time for the country. Rather, at RunNat, the focus is on the prayer blessings that Runners carry with them as they intercede during the prayer run. Each prayer will make a difference because Jesus has promised that when we gather and pray in His name, it will be done by our Father in heaven. And that’s the power of prayer in which we all believe in.
