Walking The Way – Friday 23rd August to Saturday 28th September 2019
I had the honour and privilege of walking the Pilgrims Way with Dave and Carol Cape, during the months of August and September. A few months prior to the walk, God had spoken to me from Isaiah 40:3 …’Prepare the way for the Lord.’ I knew that God wanted me to walk ahead of Dave and Carol and pray. This was the beginning of an epic adventure which was to change my life!
Walking with Dave and Carol was an incredible experience. Each morning before we even started out on the trail, Dave led us in a time of worship and prayer. We also had a team of powerful intercessors from the UK, South Africa and the USA praying for us. The Spirit moved in powerful ways through these prayers. God often spoke to us and the intercessors through prophetic words or pictures always backing it up with His Word. We would always pray for divine appointments for the walk that specific day and God never disappointed.
I witnessed how reserved British citizens asked Dave to pray for them, most giving their lives to Jesus as a result. I also witnessed how the power of the Holy Spirit softened the hardest of hearts; one such story was of a young man who started out being openly hostile towards Dave, ending up asking Dave to pray for him as in his own words, he was ‘filled with darkness!’ I also had the privilege of watching Dave wash people’s feet, from other walkers along the trail to an Anglican Cannon in Winchester Cathedral.
I saw the power of the prophetic word with God’s written Word working hand in hand. This was most prevalent when Dave, Carol and a group of intercessors met at the Millennium Stones in Gatton Park, Reigate, Surrey. We had felt led to prophetically proclaim God’s Word for renewing and revival for the United Kingdom to be spoken at that specific spot on the Pilgrims Way. We had an incredible time worshipping and prophesying God’s word over the nation. We were also prompted to write these scriptures on wooden stakes and plant them in the ground next to each one of these ten stones.
God called Dave and Carol to this nation to proclaim: Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the cross roads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” I believe that because of their obedience, God has once again stirred our hearts to believe for a move of His Spirit across this land like we have not seen for a long time. I believe the words of the song by Tasha Cobbs ‘This is a Move’ is what God is asking us to believe and do at this time in the United Kingdom:
That wonders are still what you do
We are here for you
Come and do what you do
We are here for you
Come and do what you do
We set our hearts on you
Come and do what you do
‘Cause we need a move
We need a move
