Rev. Rock Prayer Project 10/25/13

Today is the final Friday of the month so I am spending the day in prayer and fasting. I am familiar with several moves in Indonesian Martial Arts Stick and Cane which create a wedge of protection around the practitioner (#'s 8, 9, & 48 are good examples). These moves are designed to be both offensive and defensive maneuvers, allowing one to fight the battle and be protected simultaneously. Today I took a prayer walk and asked God to provide a wedge of protection around me in mind, body, and spirit. I know we are to press on, not retreating, but fighting the good fight. However, if we lack the protection of the King of Kings, we are ensuring our defeat. To give myself a symbol of this surrounding protection I stepped "inside" a large weeping willow tree; The braches of which extended to the ground and took this photo. May God be a shield around you and the Glory that lifts up your head today!
