It has not been entirely easy, walking the gateway.
The gate itself seems to have been covered with a thick shroud of cobwebs, rust and rotting wood. It seems to have been shut for a while...what was it the King of the Dead said in Lord of the Rings "The way is shut"? We haven't walked the path of death but we have seen it here.
This morning, before going out to walk, the Lord sent revelation about a man...the Body of Christ?...groaning in agony, clutching his hands to his belly as liquid clay swirled around him. We believe it spoke of man (as formed clay among the liquid clay of creation) with a belly (where Holy Spirit is located) groaning as he gives birth to something new.
In Romans 8.29, it says that Jesus was the firstborn among many brethren. We are his brothers and sons to the Father. That 'Body of Christ' that was born of the Spirit is groaning and writhing again as the Father gives birth to something new. As his body, we express the one who indwells us - Jesus.
We don't know where this walk will take us as part of the people of God in this area...but we are excited to be part of what God is doing.
This blog started as a record of a Prayerwalk around the Essex borders commenced in February 2008. That particular walk was completed when, having walked all the way round, we went to the centre of Essex in August 2009. However, we have since done three circuits around our Borough (the London Borough of Havering) and have walked the Lea Valley from the source to the mouth. And the walking season continues... who knows where God will take us next?
