A group of about 15 of us performed the following activities along the White River going through Martinsville, next to the Three Rivers public fishing access site:
Read through the GH15 prayers and decrees for this effort aloud as a group.
Took Communion together and with the river.
Prayed for purity of the river and threw salt into it, just as Elisha did to purify the spring in 2 Kings 2:19.
Placed a walking staff into the water of the river as a redeemed act of the plague of Egypt. Instead of cursing the river with blood, we prayed for it's redemption through the blood of Christ.
Collected trash along the path to the riverside as a prophetic act of partnering with God to purify and redeem the White River, and prayed against the spirits and principalities represented in the trash (e.g. alcoholism and addiction, drug abuse, etc.).
We prayed that God would highlight the waste to us that He wants to be removed as we walked to the river. Some of the trash was easy to see from the path, but the vast majority of trash we were led to was hidden under layers of leaves. We found more trash than we could fit in the bags we brought with us, and were not prepared to finish the job. The key takeaway for us in this regard was to not let our expectations or small-mindedness limit our effectiveness with this effort. Additionally, our waterways are polluted with far more than we can see or understand. As God leads to us into action, we should come prepared to do mighty works.
Great ideas!
