The first open-air prayer meeting of our eighteenth year praying at this site will, God willing, be on Saturday 2nd March 2024 from 11.00am to 1.00pm GMT on the Greenway crossing Canning Road near Channel Sea House, West Ham, E15 3ND. If you are close enough, do come along and be blessed. Otherwise, please pray where you are and/or FOLLOW our LIVE STREAM on Facebook.
We shall be praying for our nation to follow the ways of the Lord (as set out in scripture) and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
To do our work of informing your prayers we need your support!
Expect worship with singing at our prayer meetings, seeking the Lord, prayer and answers to prayer. We are led by the Holy Spirit, so expect prayer for our leaders and expect the unexpected as well.
Jer 29:7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

Our Prayer Targets
According to that word we shall pray for the Lord to pour out his mercy on the UK. We’ll pray for national repentance and for the fear of God to bring wisdom, humility and reason to HM Government. Specifically, we’ll probably pray into:
Humility and wisdom for His Majesty’s Government. Exodus 18:21.
An end to the Politics of Absurdity. Luke 14:28.
Politicians talking up war with Russia and an end to the conflict in Ukraine: Psalm 34:14.
The outcome of Stephen’s Buffer Zone Trial: Psalm 89:14.
The security of Israel and Christians in the Holy Land: Psalm 122:6.
The Rwanda debates and the Rochdale by-election: Job 28:28
The ‘Trans’ Agenda: Why is the UK Government pro-trans? Matthew 9:12.
An end to NetZero which is impoverishing the people: Ezekiel 45:9.
The RSE agenda and LGBT propaganda: Isaiah3:9.
Covid mRNA ‘vaccines’: Professor’s call to ban them: Matthew 9:12.
Free IVF for Lesbians on the NHS! And there is nothing physically wrong with them! Gen 16:4
The UK Government promoting evil abroad.: Psalm 12:8.
The state of the church: Matthew 16:18.
We’ll also pray for the Lord’s blessing and for financial provision for this ministry including our emerging presence in Africa and Asia and our enthusiastic team: Rev 3:8.
Nor shall we forget the reason why we started these prayer meetings in the first place: the continued presence of Tablighi Jamaat’s mosque on the historic Abbey Mills site. Isa 42:8.
The Lord Jesus said:
Matt 4:10 … Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Our prayers will be led by the Holy Spirit so we shall see what else he lays on our hearts. By the way, we have started petitions on many of the matters above:

Directions for travel to West Ham
So come along to the next prayer meeting at West Ham: We gather by the grace of God on every first Saturday in the month from 10.30am to 12.30 pm. You will find us at the site where the Greenway pedestrian path crosses Canning Road. Aim for Channel Sea House at E15 3ND (Streetmap.co.uk).
If coming by rail, take the DLR from either Stratford or West Ham to Abbey Road. Turn right out of the station, left into Canning Road, and find the prayer site at the top, opposite Channel Sea House, where Canning Road crosses the Greenway. Or from West Ham, turn right out of the station and walk along to the stairs found on your right. Turn left at the top and walk along to find the prayer site.
The Coming Weekend:
Check at Transport for London for ‘planned engineering works’ to the Tube. For the coming weekend it all seems fairly clear apart from closure on the Gospel Oak to Stratford Overground.
If coming by ULEZ-friendly car, parking in the roads off Leywick Street E15 3DD is allowed as there is NO Event Day Restriction this coming Saturday. Check for yourself at Newham Council’s website or the Stadium website for the dates. To drop people off at the site aim for Channel Sea House at the end of Canning Road. SatNav for that and the site is E15 3ND. You can also approach from the A118 High Street. It is worth saying that sometimes, if there are not too many cars, it is possible to get away with parking just outside Channel Sea House, and you can see your car from where we pray. If not, or whenever there is ‘Event Day’ restriction. you may have to park up in Stratford and take the DLR back.
Come along and be challenged and blessed
DO COME and stand up for Christ and be challenged and blessed! (Phil 1:27-29). The meeting is always a wonderful, peaceful time of fellowship, worship and seeking the Lord in prayer and in his word.
PRAY: For a good turn-out at this Saturday’s meeting with powerful prayer for our nation. Do pray that God will bless our nation with repentance. Pray that his enemies, whether Secularist or Islamic, will either be scattered or converted to the cause of Christ. And pray their plans against the Lord Almighty will come to nothing. Who is on the Lord’s side? Come along and stand with us! If you really cannot come, join us in prayer at home or go on the livestream (see above).
Praying here since 2007
We have been praying here, near the site of the radical Islamic group’s proposed ‘mega-mosque,’ since January 2007. That’s now sixteen years ago! The proposed development would have become the largest place of worship in Britain and Tablighi Jamaat’s European HQ. In December 2015 the Government refused the appeal of the Anjuman-E-Islahul-Mislimeen Trust against Newham Council’s decision not to grant them planning permission for the development. The Court of Appeal then refused to give them leave to seek a ‘Statutory Review’ of that decision.
And in another development, Islamist Tablighi Jammat failed in a last-ditch legal attempt to overturn Newham’s Council’s injunction against them continuing to use their Abbey Mills site as a mosque.
Legally, Newham could now send in the bulldozers. But this decision will be taken by the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz. Miss Fiaz is of Pakistani Muslim heritage, but said to be socially liberal. One of her election promises was to ‘tax the value of development land to help our housing programme.’ That could impact the trustees of the Abbey Mills site.
Mosque group split
One option open to Tablighi Jammat is to put in a new planning application for mixed use. In the meantime they could remove the temporary mosque and stop using the site as a place of worship. They are reluctant to do the latter!
However, TJ have now split in two. The Indian/Bangladeshi half control the UK HQ in Dewsbury. The Pakistani half are running the illegal Abbey Mills mosque site. So it looks like our prayers for confusion among the Lord’s enemies have been answered beyond our expectations. Can the MM faction appeal now to the European Court of Human Rights? That appears to be their last resort to keep alive their dream of a megamosque in West Ham.
For the West Ham site, firstly, we shall pray TJ or what is left of it fail at the ECHR. Secondly, that Newham Council takes real enforcement action. Thirdly that a church is built on the site. While we are on the subject of big prayers, we’ll never stop praying for our nation to return to God. That means to keep his commandments and enter into the fullness of his blessings.
Our mission on site
We have been meeting for prayer at this site in West Ham every first Saturday in the month without fail since January 2007, until the Johnson regime’s ‘lockdown’ stopped us in April, May and December 2020 and the first half of 2021. We have still completed thirteen full years and the other nine months of 2020, eight in 2021 and every month in 2022 and 2023. That’s 194 meetings to August 2023 and still counting!
We shall not stop until our nation repents and the site returns to the worship of the King of kings. We believe when we pray fervent prayers and do the simple things only we can do, we can rely on God to do the miraculous.
And that is what has happened. The West Ham mega-mosque has been under a curse ever since God’s people started praying. Why God uses our prayers and allows us to be part of his victory we shall never know. But we do know the Almighty has heard our prayers and dwelt in our praises. He has used the little things his people have done to his glory. Coming down to pray at the site itself in all weathers is certainly among those little things. It shows the Lord our prayer is serious!
So how has our Almighty King Jesus confounded the mega-mosque? Just look at the history:
The History
When we started praying in January 2007, the mosque trustees were confident their proposed ‘mega-mosque’ would be built ready for the London Olympic Games in 2012. We kept turning up, every first Saturday in every month. The Olympics came and went, and there was no mega-mosque. We have kept on praying.
Confusion reigned among the trustees, who went through three (we may have lost count) different firms of architects. They appointed and sacked public relations people and held a disaster of an ‘open day’. On the planning side they missed their deadlines and lost the support of Newham Council.
It took almost six years for them to place a planning application before Newham local councillors. The council duly refused it in December 2012. See the report in the London Evening Standard.
Injunction granted
The High Court then granted an injunction to Newham Council on 24th May 2013. This ordered the Trust, which had been using the old industrial buildings on the Riverine Centre (or Abbey Mills) site as a mosque, to clear the land of temporary buildings and cease religious activities there. We praise the Lord for that.
Meanwhile, the sect, known as Tablighi Jamaat, appealed against Newham’s refusal to grant them planning permission for the whole ‘mega-mosque’ project, according to the Standard’s later report. The appeal was heard as a public enquiry in June 2014 and the Secretary of State then ‘called in’ the decision. He refused the appeal in December 2015.
The sect went to law to seek ‘Statutory Review’ of the Government decision. In early May 2016 Mr Justice Ouseley said they had no grounds and refused them. They appealed that decision and lost in August. They are at the legal end of the road. But will the Council now take enforcement action before May this year? That is when the local elections take place. The elected members will not wish to upset Muslim voters before then. A lot could depend on who is selected and elected.
The Background
The Mosque would have been the size of Battersea Power Station, dominating the Abbey Mills area, according to the architect submitting the proposal. It would accommodate 12,000 devotees, becoming by a factor of four the largest place of worship in Britain. Crucially, it would also be the headquarters of Tablighi Jamaat.
The hardline Islamic group have been described by American security officials as a “recruiting ground for Al Qaeda”. French intelligence see them as an “antechamber of fundamentalism”.
It is by the grace of God that Newham Council, initially favourable to the mosque idea, are now determined to see the back of the group We also thank God for the decision of the Secretary of State and of the Courts.
Abbey Mills
But don’t forget, going back this was indeed a pre-reformation Christian settlement. The Abbey brothers spent time in prayer but also raised and grew all kinds of food. They operated flour mills and fed the surrounding people with grain and bread, with vegetables and meat from their livestock.
The temporary mosque (previously a chemical works) stands on a marshy part of the old abbey where the monks probably grazed their pigs. (Don’t tell Tablighi Jamaat.) It would have been suitable for little else. One website records that William de Montfichet, who gave land to the Cistercians to establish an abbey in 1135, also gave the monks the right to allow their pigs to graze and forage freely on his donated lands.
Names of streets like Abbey Lane, the Abbey Road DLR station and the nearby ‘Abbey Mills’ Victorian pumping house all testify to the Christian heritage of this ancient spiritual site. Even the notice on the gate of the temporary mosque says: ‘Riverine Centre Abbey Mills.’ Also look at this informative Newham Council document for more about the history of the area.
READ this on Christ’s sovereignty:
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD (YHWH): that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
READ this on prayer:
Jeremiah 29:7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives,and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
1Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
2Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Thanks Stephen,
I will not be at this one but was at the National Day of Prayer at the Emmanuel Centre in Marsham Street on March 23rd. It’s so encouraging that there seems to be a significant number of people really praying with faith for our country and for our return to the Lord in the midst of the darkness. May His Light yet shine again in this land!
Author
What was the take on Russia at that meeting on 23rd, Lynkalin?
If this particular group of Muslims is as bad as you say, which seems very likely, is it not possible that the Secretary of State, Newham Council, and the Courts all thought for themselves, and came to their own conclusion, regardless of your prayers or God’s influence ?
He doesn’t seem to have achieved the return of the nation to God, your other big prayer, although that would presumably be in his own interest.
Author
This could be the subject for a Bible study – or even a book. I do not doubt that in the tower of the Cambridge University library, in the news last night, there should indeed be books on exactly that.
You know, the Almighty one has manners. He will not force anyone to do anything. Yes, there is his ‘irrestistable grace’ and that’s what we pray for. It means that despite herself, Mrs May, or the Boris, or the whole government, has a complete change of heart. We see it in the Bible with Josiah’s ministers finding the book of the law. 2Chron 34:14-19 has the story.
But that kind of intervention is rare, and of his grace, and often as a result of his people’s prayer. And they may have to pray for years, even for generations. We don’t know why God does not do what we ask instantly. Maybe just because his ways are not our ways. Christ teaches we may have to be persistent, importunate, in our prayers:
Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
But at other times, indeed, most times, the Lord allows men to go their own way and the results of their sin, or stupidity, will be seen as judgment, or consequences, depending on your point of view.
Funnily enough, in the case of Newham Council, the Labour Group were all for the mega-mosque. Then Alan Craig was elected as a Christian People’s Alliance candidate, and he was added to, then Respect got some councillors. During that time, Sir Robin Wales and the whole Labour Group turned completely 180deg against the megamosque. See all of that as a coincidence if you like, but we are seeing it in a spiritual dimension, as something changing in the spiritual realm making things change on earth. Put that with the confusion in the mosque trustees as well, the changings of architects, PR firms, disastrous open day. With no doubt at all we see all that as a dramatic answer to our prayer.
So why has the nation as a whole not changed in the light of what happened in Newham? Just maybe the Lord’s people have not been coordinated enough, coherent enough, insistent enough, active enough, and given to fasting enough. You have made me think that I personally am not doing enough! You see how the Lord can use even a sceptic like you to change the spiritual context?
on the other hand, the Lord may just “give us over” as in Romans. As you said in response to another commentator on another thread, who felt that God had told him not to pray anymore (like Jeremiah), we should not give up praying I suppose.
The “church” is this country and “Christians” should look to themselves too, instead of insisting that all the faults lie outside the church. I find very little real love in almost all the churches I have visited, and been a member of, over 35 years of church attendance. A few faithful, but not many.
Wells Cathedral is a Christian place in my experience. All my experiences of those involved with it have been really warm and positive. It’s often the older places which are the best, as they have not moved with the times. It’s a bit like an old school or even an old university. I’m all for mentioning places if they have impressed me, and I think Wells does have a very deep peace to it. It’s genuine and also very beautiful.
eg most church attenders, I hesitate to call them “Christians”, can’t even seem to manage a “hello”.
This is a great feather in the cap of you as Christian Voice. The apparent complete failure of the Muslim fraternity to gain permission to build this Mosque in east London is seemingly the result of persistent and longevity of prayer. I do not see much to encourage us in present day UK life and politics, but maybe, just maybe, the Lord has not as yet abandoned us.
Please get the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in Canning Town involved, they are an awesome bunch of God fearing Christians.

You get them involved, Douglas!
I see some indication of SHARIA law being discussed in relation to Christianity !!??
Islam is not only a religion, but a government, a STATE and a culture. I worked in Saudi for some time and wish many other Christians had experienced the aura, atmosphere and
lack of laughter in general
“not only a religion, but a government, a STATE and a culture.”
Like Christianity used to be in many places. In fact, the loss of this kind of status in Britain is surely for many people what Christian Voice is mainly about ?
“I see some indication of SHARIA law being discussed in relation to Christianity !!??”
Could you perhaps tell us a little more ? Where ? By whom ? In what way ? With what result ?
its funny, everytime this post is re-posted, we get exactly the same comments!
Nice idea, we need to get the word of Our Lord out everywhere
I went to the CV prayer meeting yesterday, Saturday 4th July, and wanted to testify how good it was. I travelled by train and these, plus central London was very quiet. I have never seen the place so deserted.
We met at the usual place, and in the end there were nine of us and it was a great time. We covered a lot of issues, the current situation, ending the unGodly lock down, crying to God over the attacks on young people and children, the education of children which is being blocked by the unions and the Government, the overturning of the evolution agenda which is the foundation of everything we are praying against, (All the evils we are facing today, spring from the rejection of Genesis, 6 day creation), the poor response of the UK churches and we also covered African issues with powerful prayers for countries there. We thanked God for some good things – there are a number of legal cases waiting to be heard rebutting the gay rights agenda, the absence of school means gay activists cannot get in to continue their work of destruction, and presidents of African countries who are real, actual, live Christians! (Can you believe it Brits, Christians, in power, governing a country? Pinch me, I must be dreaming).
We also sang praises to God. Unfortunately this is not allowed in church right now, the UK church having basically agreed to shut itself down but what a joy it was for me to sing again, with Christians, out in the open air. We lifted our voices to praise God our Creator and it was great.
I commend this prayer group to everyone with a passion to ask God to move and restore our country. Come and join in, and give your Christian faith a boost. Thank you everyone who was there for giving me so much encouragement.
Save the children – Stop RSE
Amidst all the furore over statues of people with dubious pasts, why has no one protested over Charles Darwin statues? I was reminded by Answers in Genesis that Mr Darwin built his evolutionary ideology on racist ideas which are nothing to do with creation and thoroughly rejected in the Bible. In ‘The Descent of Man’ Darwin writes ‘The civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races through the world’ (P200). In this book he builds his racial ideology into the evolution hypothesis and tries to give it some backing with dubious studies and assumptions.
By civilised races he means European/United States and by savage races he means everyone else, excluding European settlers. The book is full of circumstantial suppositions and assumptions, with the usual evolutionary tactic of trying to bury the reader with lots of stuff that sounds sciency but is not. He has numerous footnote references to studies but they do not prove his hypothesis that because animals and humans have similar looking parts to each other, humans must have evolved from animals. It could of course be evidence that God created everything, to a pattern, according to their kinds, but that is ignored.
In the introduction and footnote 13, he gushingly refers to Haeckel and his embryo studies. Most people know what happened to those ‘studies’ when some real scientists tested them with a bit of scientific rigour. This sets the tone for the whole book, a desperate attempt to bamboozle and brainwash people into abandoning the Genesis 1 truth account of how God created everything, and replace it with the evolutionary hodge-podge of fairy tale bio-genesis from nothing.
Evolution is the Titanic, it is only a matter of time before it finally sinks.
2.8.20
I went to the West Ham prayer time yesterday, on a lovely sunny day. There were seven of us and we had a great time. A highlight was that we sang songs of praise to our God, out loud. We sang loudly and we rejoiced in our God and Saviour because no government has the right to take away your freedom to sing.
Unfortunately you cannot sing in church and I am upset and appalled at the cowardice of church leaders who have just accepted this. The church leader of the Baptist church I was going to has been sending out emails telling us that if you want to attend the church he urges us to where a mask (be gagged), socially distance (the opposite of what God intended) and there can be no singing (I guess we can still speak some praises). And there is no coffee at the end. All of this because of the fear of man in the form of a hysterical media.
Yesterday we sang, praised and prayed across a whole range of things and there was real Holy Spirit power.
We also prayed specifically about the pandemic plague. I thanked God that it is largely over, that the so called second wave is fake news, and that we now largely have God given herd immunity. Thank God that the plague has gone, at least for the moment. This has to be subject to fact that the forces of evil, working through deeply sinful people, may well try to create or set up another one, to actually release the so called mythical second wave. We need to pray against this because the forces at work are dead set on damaging us as God’s creation and causing as much confusion as possible.
Yes the virus was over wasn’t it?seems god didn’t give herd immunity back in August 2020 maybe too many people disobeyed the rules and plunged us into an even worse situation.
Even the conservative supporting newspapers are breaking ranks and criticising what the Government has done. Read this in today’s Sunday Telegraph, by Jeremy Warner.
Britain’s ship of fools sails on, rudderless amid Covid seas (ST 2.8.20 Jeremy Warner)
“So far so V”, said Andy Haldane, chief economist at the Bank of England in a speech at the end of June. A month on I wonder if he is feeling quite so confident. Like most observers of today’s extraordinary, substantially self-inflicted economic collapse, I swing violently from optimism over prospects for recovery to extreme pessimism.
Fast forward to now, and things are starting to look ugly. The situation in the US seems utterly catastrophic, and not just on the economy and the renewed spike in infections. From the outside, America looks like a country sinking into chaos, with the economy down a staggering 32.9% on an annualised basis in the second quarter, unemployment continuing to mount, rioting on the streets, a widening cultural divide and a president demanding that November’s election be suspended.That’s for Congress to decide, of course; there is no chance it will agree. What it tells us, however, is that Donald Trump is determined to legally to contest the result if it doesn’t go his way.
Back in Blighty, things scarcely look much better. An indecisive and cowed government is plainly making it up as it goes along, quarantining here and locking down there, seemingly cheered on by a public that has been terrified by overly zealous massaging, but for now is insulated from the consequences of the resulting economic damage by government income support.
I hesitate to use the word propaganda, but there really is no other way of describing the scaremongering, magnified as it is by the hysteria of 24-hour news channels and the misinformation of social media. The nonsense seems out of all proportion to the magnitude of the threat. There is no logic or consistency in the Government’s approach or, indeed, apparent end in sight to the economically crippling measures deemed necessary to contain the pandemic.
To be clear, so as to protect myself from malicious misinterpretation, I’m not saying the economy needs to be put before lives. Those who suffer severely from the disease deserve every ounce of sympathy and care we can give them. But a more balanced approach to the risks is needed. The collateral damage of containment mounts by the day, such that it now seems probable that a high degree of permanent injury has been inflicted.
This is exactly what many of us have been saying since the beginning. The response to media driven hysteria, was out of all proportion to the actual danger. God told the Jews what to do when an infectious disease strikes in Leviticus 13 +14, and it is not to shut down the entire country or economy.
Travelling to the West Ham prayer meeting yesterday, London was very quiet. The month before there was almost nothing about. Trains are almost empty, the underground slightly more busy but not much. We had better cry out to God to stop what the Government is doing otherwise the next phase of the judgment will be worse than this.
Save the children – Stop RSE
You are not the result of animal evolution – evolution is a hoax
Protest and survive.
Mainstream media doom mongering: The mainstream media reminds me of doom predicting cults who have spent a lot of their existence wrongly predicting the end of the world. The mainstream media’s misreporting is following the same practise.
First we had global warming. Apparently we are all doomed because of high temperatures which will kill off all life. One of the things that Answers in Genesis has reported recently is that as more of the northern hemisphere becomes less cold, it is becoming possible to farm and grow crops there. Higher average temperatures can also be followed by lower average temperatures, but that is never reported in the same way, if at all, and is not allowed to stop the doom mongering so beloved by the media. If Almighty God created the universe and our world, (and God did, and yes it was in six literal days), God is in control and God has programmed our world to and adapt and survive, even against the sinful misuse of the planet by rebellious humanity.
Have you noticed how the BBC is again lovingly reporting the high temperature of 34C at a place called ‘Heathrow’? That’s Heathrow international airport, where jets take off and land, emitting high temperature exhausts and heat is reflected off the runways. Perhaps the BBC should try taking a temperature reading at Port Talbot. There should be a nice big blast furnace going to bump the temperature up nicely.
Then we had rising sea levels. We are all doomed because all the icecaps and glaciers are melting and the water will go into the oceans and rise like an over flowing bath. Except that the glaciers are not all melting and the oceans do not act like a bath. Answers in Genesis has reported that the signs in Glacier National Park, Montana USA are being replaced because they wrongly predict that the Bossons Glacier in the French Alps will be all gone by 2020. Oops, it’s still there.
Now we have the corona sars flu virus and right on cue, we have mainstream media doom mongering hysteria, telling us, wrongly, that we are all doomed. The latest hysteria is now the ‘second wave’. My view is that this is largely a hoax because the flu virus is stopped by sunlight which explains why flu outbreaks occur only in winter months in the northern hemisphere. We also now have a considerable amount of immunity, which is another reason why it is unlikely for it to take off again.
The problem is, that the forces manipulating the genuine flu outbreak are determined to never let a good crisis go to waste and so will try their best to promote it as a second wave, even to make the virus become something worse, because they, and the media, have to keep stoking the fear machine. This is ‘Project Fear’ all over again and it is tragic to witness so many good people fall for it.
It reminds me of so many cults; doom, gloom, fear, no hope, just doom and gloom, ‘You’re all gonna’ die’ and it is being endorsed by a Government that seems to be hell bent on destroying our society.
I just hope people wake up in time to be able to stop what I believe will be the real doom and gloom disaster – the collapse of our currency. Note that no one in the mainstream media is talking about that.
Stephen. You should go ahead with Saturday’s meeting. The Word of God says that we must not forsake meeting together. Prayer for this wicked Nation is vital and many of us are praying in small groups. I cannot get to London but am praying for you all. God bless you.
Charles Darwin was one of the greatest people in history and he came to Christianity in later life.
Author
Greatest if you mean someone who started one of the biggest hoaxes ever and whose theory led to the racism of Nazi Germany.
Talking of hoaxes, the story about Charles Darwin becomeing a Christian is solely found in an account by one Lady Hope and is not supported by any other person, by his writings, his posthumous autobiography or his children.
This is impressive in the ‘success’ of prayer regarding this ‘mega-mosque’ proposal being thwarted by what would inevitably be a ‘secular’ council. This gives confidence that this kind of corporate prayer ‘of the righteous’ achieves much. It gives hope yet for the future of us as a nation, and we all should be grateful to Stephen (I certainly am) for his persistence in the face of little apparent results. I sometimes get despondent about the future of the UK and our civilisation (so-called), but this does give some hope.
Praise God for you Stephen!
