What an amazing sight! Listen to the worship in the centre of London. Who would have thought this could happen, I certainly did not. Thank you Lord that you are moving in the UK. May these people realise that they need to be disciples in their neighbourhoods. Please pray for our brothers and sisters that turned out for this great occasion. Pray for the Muslims in London that saw this worship session and that this video gets wide circulation.

HUGE “JESUS IS KING” RALLY IN THE UK
Attended by more than 150,000 people marching through central London on Saturday, the demonstration featured displays of wooden crosses held high, images of Christ on flags, and banners declaring “Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life.”
The rally was organised by former English Defence League leader, Tommy Robinson under the theme “Unite the Kingdom”. It concluded with worship songs and prayer from a platform set up in Whitehall. followed by speeches from far-right politicians from across Europe.
Churchgoers attended despite prior warnings from some London church leaders that the march’s organizers were linked to “division and racial intolerance.”
Ahead of the event, the Bishop of Edmonton and Lead Bishop for Racial Justice, Rt. Rev. Anderson Jeremiah, and Dr. Lisa Adjei, Head of Racial Justice Priority in the Diocese of London, issued a statement saying they were “deeply concerned” by the planned march. “Though framed as a celebration of free speech, it is inextricably linked to voices and movements that have previously contributed to division and racial intolerance. This is at odds with everything we, and millions of Londoners, stand for,” their statement warned.
But according to Brian Tamaki of Destiny Church, New Zealand, the rally was God’s work. He told the crowds from the platform that it was “Christianity undergirding our democracies,” but “we turned our back on God.”
Tamaki said, “We must return to the faith that built our nations strong, and that faith is Jesus Christ. For Jesus Christ is Lord of all nations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” The Pentecostal leader told the crowd, “This is the moment that we should rise up.”
Speaking after the event, organizer Tommy Robinson said the rally was the “spark for a cultural revolution in Britain.” Let us pray that is what eventuates.
STANDING FOR CHRIST IN THE UK
Recent data suggests a potential resurgence of Christian faith and engagement in the UK, particularly among young men, with increased church attendance and Bible study reported by organizations like the Bible Society and in various news outlets. This trend is marked by large public gatherings, where thousands of Christians have come together to pray and declare their faith. While scepticism about a full revival exists, these indicators point to a possible shift, with some observers noting a “remarkable spiritual shift” and a renewed desire for discipleship among Britons. Check out my recent post on Gen Z – The Revival Generation. It reports similar findings in the USA. The same goes for Australia so God is definitely reaching out to the youth across the world. He is a wonderful loving God.
One of the really interesting stats in the Bible Society report was when they asked non-churchgoers “would they go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member?” 31%, just under a third, said they would, which is pretty amazing. And that rose a little bit to 34% of 18 to 24 year olds who were non-churchgoers. So they saw this growth, but it’s not a ceiling. And when we think about the importance of friendships and relationships to people exploring faith, that’s a really interesting place to begin. So let’s start with family, friends and neighbours.
They saw that two thirds of the population said they’d be happy for a Christian friend to pray for them. And just over a quarter said they’d be interested in learning more about the Bible. And that’s just so much bigger than the number who are regularly in church, which even in this new data set is only 12%. So that interest is far greater than those who are currently practicing.
One of the big themes that comes through is just how important relationships and friendships are. They asked people to agree or disagree with a statement around whether they would read the Bible if a friend or family recommended it to them versus if a philosopher or thinker, or public figure recommended it to them. And in general the agreement rate is far higher if friends or family recommended it rather than public thinkers. So certainly people like Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson are important, I don’t think there’s any question on that, but really what makes people open to trying new things does seem to be at the much more personal and local level. So yes, we would encourage everyone to see openness as something for them to explore and think about.
