Good Friday

Last night i joined in on a prayer vigil in the middle of Victoria Square. There was a small group of people that came and went at different times.... the max amount of people that were there at one time was approx 20. It was a great time of praying and worshipping together, although it got a little cold.... (it wasn't really that cold, it was like 14C when it finished at midnight, but it feels cold when a week ago it was 30C at that time of night, and i had shorts on...) But anyway... it was great just to pray with other people who are passionate about seeing this city saved.
While we were there, a guy walked up carrying a cross (it has a wheel on the bottom, so he isn't carrying the whole weight), he walked there from Noarlunga (20-30 min drive away to the south), he started off in the morning. He is continuing his walk now, and heading up to Elizabeth (30min drive north). He is prayer walking as he goes.... praying that God's power will fall on this city, that people will experience the Power of Christ. That we will see healings, deliverance, and see people coming to Christ in the thousands. He is also sharing the gospel with the people who stop to speak with him.... It's awesome. As he was walking the cross broke, the wheel came off, he got picked up and he went home, he was going to give up.... however he went back, fixed the wheel and continued on....
He used this as an analogy. in that we all have a God given calling (our cross) and as we walk out in it, things don't go well or don't turn out as we expected and our cross breaks... we can then choose to stop and give up, or to press on with Christ in what He has called us to do...
When we press on we will see God's grace and mercy in our lives and we see His blessings and support.
