Use WALK as a guide to prepare:

W — Who are you?

Scriptures that declare your identity in Christ:

• “You are a ... royal priesthood ... God’s special possession …” (1 Pt 2:9)
• “You are no longer a slave but God’s own child ... God has made you His heir” (Gal 4:6–7)
• “I no longer call you servants ... I have called you friends” (John 15:15)
• “I have given you authority … nothing will harm you” (Lk 10:19)
• “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven …” (Mt 18:18)

Pray from your identity:

“Heavenly Father, we take up our role as royal priests and declare to the spiritual realm that we are God’s children, joint heirs with Christ, friends of Jesus, and Your special possession. In Jesus’s name, we bind the enemy and his plans for Boulder, and we loose your agenda and will over this city.

A: Apply the Blood

Scriptures that speak of Jesus's blood and power:

• “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins ...” (Eph 1:7–8)
• “the blood of Jesus ... purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:7)
• “We can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus …” (Heb 10:19–20)
• “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony ...” (Rev 12:11)
• “Submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee” (Jam 4:7)

Apply His blood in prayer:

“Lord, we apply the blood of Jesus—shed once for all sin—to cover us, cleanse us, and give us direct access to your presence. By Your blood and our testimony, we overcome the enemy. We submit ourselves to you, resist the devil, and he flees from us."

L: Listen & Observe

Scriptures that speak of hearing & seeing:

• “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jer 33:3)
• "He who forms the mountains ... who reveals his thoughts to mankind (Amos 4:13)
• “... blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear” (Mt 13:16)
• “... his sheep follow him because they know his voice” (Jn 10:4)
• “... Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed” (Acts 14:9)

Pray for hearing ears and seeing eyes:

Spirit of God, as we walk and pray, give us ears to hear your voice, and eyes to see what you would have us to see. As we call out to you, we trust that you will tell us great and unsearchable things we do not know.

K: Kingdom in Boulder as in Heaven

Scriptures that speak of God's Kingdom realities:

• “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Mt 6:10)
• “... the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed ...” (Dan 2:44)
• “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ...” (Mt 11:28–30)
• “... turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord ...” (Acts 3:19–20)
• “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh ...” (Ezekiel 36:26–27)

Pray the Lord’s Prayer over Boulder:

“Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

in Boulder as it is in Heaven.

Give us today our daily bread,

and forgive us our sins,

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom,

and the power,

and the glory forever.

Amen.”

Our 1st Anchor is BELONG.

Our prayer is that people in Boulder would know they are loved by God—that they can belong before they believe.

Read these verses at the corner of 9th & Canyon:

• “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
• "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
• “God sets the lonely in families; he leads out the prisoners with singing...” (Psalm 68:6)

As you walk along 9th toward Pine, pray:

• That God would fill us with His love for Boulder
• That people would be drawn to Christian community
• That hearts in Boulder would receive God’s love

Our 2nd Anchor is BELIEVE.

Our prayer is that people would come to believe in Jesus for their salvation.

Read these verses at the corner of 9th and Pine:

• “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.” (Acts 20:21)
• “The Kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15)
• “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” (Acts 16:31)

As you walk along Pine toward 16th, pray:

• For boldness and opportunities to share the Gospel
• That people in Boulder would turn from sin and turn to Jesus
• That all churches in Boulder would faithfully teach the Gospel

Our 3rd Anchor is BECOME.

We pray that those who have trusted Jesus would keep growing in their relationship with Him.

Read these verses at the corner of 16th and Pine:

• “For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life ...” (Col 2:12)
• "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you ...” (Eph1:18–19)
• “make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love ...” (2 Pt 1:5–8)

As you walk along 16th toward Arapahoe, pray:

• That we (and all believers in Boulder) would grow daily in our faith
• That we would fully leave behind the old life and walk in new life
• That we’d desire and walk in all God has for us

Our 4th Anchor is BELAY.

This reflects our prayer that we would live on mission—anchored in Jesus and helping others find Him too.

Read the following scriptures at the corner of 16th and Arapahoe.

• “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”” (Mt 28:18–20)
• “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim 4:7)
• “... the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” (2 Tim 2:1–2)

As you walk along Arapahoe and return to the library, pray:

• That all believers in Boulder would live on mission wherever they are
• That God would give Belay a permanent place in central Boulder
• That God would send people from Belay to reach the world

You’re back where you started—take a moment to reflect.

• Share with others anything the Spirit impressed on your heart during the walk.
• Close with a prayer of thanks.
• And don’t forget—log your walk! (info on that below).
