U6 Line - January 16

Today I walked through five stations on the U6 Line starting at Friedrichstr and ending at Mehringdamm.  Most of my walk was through downtown Berlin and I mostly prayed in tongues the whole route.  I was led  into a small park on the route where I sang and declared joy and rejuvenation.  A couple of days ago I visited the Jewish Museum here in Berlin and learned that starting in May of 1935 Jews were banned from the parks.  I then realized why I am often moved to tears when I visit the parks and why the Spirit of the Lord is always leading me to the parks.  What a day of rejoicing it will be when the Berlin parks are once again filled with God's chosen people.

The park

When I arrived at Mehringplatz - which is an area where the buildings form a circle around a park I felt led to walk around that circle and pray.

I  came to a place that had some signs telling the history of the area and I had no idea about this history!  It turns out that it was first built in 1730 and looked like this:

I was excited to be led to an area with such history.  I learned that the area was one of  three important/beautiful spots in the heyday of Berlin.  The other two were Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburger Tor.  The middle of the quad is now under construction as they are trying to once again make it a beautiful place.  From the looks of the neighborhood you would never imagine that this was once one of the beautiful places in Berlin.  It appears run down and the walls are full of graffiti.  One day it will be restored to its grandeur.
