We sought the Lord together to ask Him what He would have us do to bring freedom and healing to these waters.
Strategy #1 – Prayer at the tree
Together with the pastors who came with us, we entered into identificational repentence for seeking after other gods, and not the One True and Living God. The Holy Spirit led us to repent as representatives on behalf of the people of the area for seeking “lesser alternatives” than the Lord Jesus Christ for the redemption of the land and the people.
With one heart we acknowledged that the earth is, indeed, the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world and all those who dwell in it (Psalm 24:1). By giving the land and its people back to God, asking Him to bring revival to this place, we aligned with God and His purposes to bring life and light into and through this very site.
Strategy #2 – Prayer at the water source
Both Aisack and I were reminded of the story in Exodus 15, when Moses heeded to the Lord's instruction and threw a piece of wood into the water, and they were healed. When the Lord brought this passage to mind, we were compelled to obey the principle of this Biblical example. We prayed that the One True and Living God, the Lord Jesus Christ, would cleanse the waters and make them a source of life instead of a source of sickness and disease. In obedience, I tossed the branch into the water. (I must confess feeling a little silly; however, I pushed past my discomfort and chose to exercise faith and claim the sovereignty of God.)
Strategy #3 – Prayer at the pipes
Recognizing that these pipes now have the task of delivering this blessed water throughout the valley, the pastors each laid their hands on the pipes and prayed for God's abundant blessing to replace the enemy's curses.
