On Wednesday, eight of us went to London to join an amazing man for a prayer walk. His name is Mark and he took us around the City of London (the square mile that was originally settled and where the city grew from, now the financial district). It was a really great time visiting some significant places. We started at the Tower of London, walking and praying until we reached St Paul’s Cathedral, stopping to pray along the way.
Mark shared a lot about the history and spiritual significance of the area. The city itself has an amazing heritage having had, at one point, 96 churches in the square mile itself! It was great to be able to pray and intercede for the big decisions and trading that is done here. Also to speak blessing over the place, asking God to restore it’s heritage.
When we got to St Paul’s Cathedral we met a few of the people who were camped around it protesting. It was a great chance to talk and pray with them. One guy was so thankful for us praying for the integrity and protection of the members of the camp that he prayed for us also and was in tears. It is amazing to see what God can do when you step out and engage with people, even in small things like prayer walking. I love to be able to engage with what God is doing, to see what He’s done in the past and through that see what He’s doing now and what He wants to do in the future.
London truly is called to be a city of blessing and influence for the Kingdom, a place of diversity and Father’s covering to the nations.
