- Is there a revival amongst intellectuals happening after realising that everything outside of Jesus has been found wanting?!

As a Christian of 37 years I now go out on the streets with my Jesus is Lord banner. The delighted faces of the young people when they see the name of Jesus' is my greatest earthly reward, the young people see something that this world cannot offer . . Jesus is Lord now and always . .
You may be need to read those faces a little better.
At my local church it was so busy Easter Sunday that the clergy nearly ran out of wafers for the Eucharistic 😂
Should have sent someone out to Tesco for some loaves and fishes 😜
We all need to pray and cry out for the Lord to send his spirit and wake us up in the UK
I am fed up though with clergy who turn up, happy to talk about issues like global warming but seemingly unable to share the reality of the gospel. We have a coffee morning once weekly… well attended in our village church… but when the Rector turns up, the opportunity for Christian witness is not taken. It’s all nicey nicey let’s be politey and we roll on to another week. People say she is ‘nice’, and she is… but if even the clergy are unwilling to speak out the gospel, we are in a sorry place in CofE.
I became a Christian in my teenage years , and inspite of the ups and downs of life I have never regretted it . When I look at secular society around me I feel a sense of boredendom and hopelessness , filled in by endless hours spent in front of trashy tv programs and empty discussions which only lead to more despair ...
I listen a little to the media to keep myself up to date on what's hapoening around me , but nothing can replace that wonderful book of all books , the Bible ...And Sunday , nothing better than spending my time in a good Bible believing Church than wandering around some dreary shopping complex ,where you find the same products and shops wherever you travel in the world 😊
I do agree with you simonallchin.
All churches should bend back to truth, instead of slipping to culture as now
Jesus will always win in the end, because He is the ONLY Way! ✝️ 🙌
when people realise that they have been standing in a flood of filth for a while, then they suddenly want cleanliness, wholesomeness, holiness, goodness, their childhood normality ... & God is ready to hand them mops & buckets for the Great Cleanup!!
I worry about the term Christianity. Christianity generally describes a life style. But we need to follow Jesus, we need to be his disciples and to learn from Him. John 8:31-32 “If you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”
And “following” means Obedience. Simple
@@psalm1197 we should not see it as JUST servantship but rather sonship also!
We need to be in a personal relationship with the Father through the acceptance of the sacrifice of the Son and be empowered by being filled with the Holy Spirit
Theoretical religion doesn’t cut it - it never actually did
We need to know Father, Son and Holy Spirit - not just know about them
@@psalm1197following means to save the world from authoritarians.
I love the quote about what has died can come back to life. It true. I have a plant in my garden it died, it was nothing but a dried up, brown mess that didn't reach my knees but I left that plant in the ground, I didn't touch it. Its now a green, full and reaches approx 10 feet tall. Dried up river beds for hundreds of years are now flowing again. I was always agnostic and I shut my heart and mind to god my entire life but from nowhere I acknowledged I felt empty, life is dull there is nothing for me on this earth and I was touched by the Holy spirit when I realised this and wanted answers from God. He answered me and I promised him I won't deny him again. Once you have been touched by God you cant go back. He is life, he is the way, he is beautiful.
Please leave the poetry to god.
I am sure Christianity is making a come back ,thank the lord. Seeing more church teachings in town centres and many different age groups are taking part in the community services and can see they are learning about our lords words and loving learning about him, and not feeling so lost, our lord is calling us back to him, which is lovely, we need our Christian faith strongly more than ever now ,with so much wickedness surrounding us and harm from terrorist. Our lord will guide us from harm and protect us and follow his teachings for a better way of life. Helping people to return to who God created them. ✝️🕊️🇬🇧🙏
A great video. When this country and the world wakes up and sees Jesus Christ as Lord, the world will be a better place. There is no hope, true peace or joy without following Him who made us and sacrificed Himself when He became human in our Lord Jesus Christ, so we can have a relationship with God the Father and be saved.
Now that is love for you, and there is no greater love.
The wonder of all this is that His great gift of Salvation is free to every single one of us. Wow! How great is God Almighty.❤❤❤
no country as a whole will ever wake up and see this. The world will not be a better place for doing this for they will not do this. Psalm 2 and a host of other passages are most clear, the world rage against God and his Christ and devise a vain thing. the carnal mind regards the things of God as absurdity
the truly born again only always ever were few and a remnant
Thank you Father 🙏⛪✝️😇👍
Amen! The Spirit is moving!
People will crave for goodness and truth and decency. I noticed that Rishi Shunak even thanked Christians last week for being a peaceful people. God bless you Rev Dan. xx
Jesus is my Lord and Saviour
Christ is King.
Hopefully there's been lots of prayer for along time for revival praise the Lord
Let’s hope bro!
The congregation at my local church has grown steadily over the past seven years, to the point that even though most of the seating has been removed, it has been jam packed recently, every Sunday morning and it takes over 15 minutes to distribute communion. We must be doing something right.
Amen! Such an encouraging video, thank you (and love the Chesterton quote!).
Amen. Come Holy Spirit, Come!
God be praised.
Rev. Sir, your message is blessed news. The words of the Bible shall resound throughout the whole world for it is the Lord God Who speaks.
I am a Catholic and have believed that this would happen for since a good number of years behind. For that reason I went down on my knees to pray and offer each day words of praise and deeds of ordinary living as acts of love to Almighty God. I have seen the results happening around the world. I am buoyed and would continue to invite all Christians to rejoice and be glad. The Lord shall open the Red Sea for His People everywhere.
An Anglican Christmas service was the one I first attended. However, the Lord then directed me to the Catholic Church. Have never regretted being the happy recipient of such a wonderful gift.
Arise all Christians, rejoice in our great and holy Faith. The salvation of the whole world is the mission the Lord has appointed us to be the helpers in His Vineyard.
God bless England, the UK, Ireland and all nations that have Christ Jesus as Saviour, Lord and King.
Thank you for this. Having lived my Christian life in times when the frozen ground yeilded few shoots or fruits we need to keep praying for God to intervene and we know, because of who He is, He will!
There is but not courtesy of the CofE. Mainly through the GAFCON churches where the gospel is preached. Taylor made for you Dan but a big decision between secular life and Christian belief.
Praise the Lord!!! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!! Alleluia!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Be honest, when you hear this phrase, does your priest seem joyous? The only priests that seem joyous to me are the womyn and the gays. Do they know something those male priests dont?
Thanks Rev.Dan.
Thought provoking.
We need leadership
We need Jesus
He says No one can do anything
without Him ..
So Come Lord Open the eyes of the blind and set prisoners of
world systems free. Praise YOUR NAME YOU ARE LO4D !!!
Yes!
Many thanks for sharing. Praise the Lord that young and old are finding Christ in a bankrupt world . However, true revival comes when Chistians seek the Lord in prayer for the lost in our nation 🙏
It comes in tears and personal transformation. Reaching out is very important . However, the work of the Holy Spirit in revival power will do so much more . Look to Welsh revivals of the past . 2 Chronicles 7 :14 is a relevant passage. Come in humility in prayer for our nation
I would say yes absolutely.
Another great video Rev Dan. Jesus the Son of God who died and rose, is the only Way and anything else cannot satisfy or take the place or what He has to offer.
I hope you're right and Justin is right - but I'm very sceptical. Without repentance we're unlikely to see revival, or rather the first sign of the Spirit at work is repentance in His people. While child sacrifice (abortion) is common and the church is silent on it it is very hard to imagine God not setting his face against the land (Leviticus 20). The large number of people who see the inadequacies of secularism and the importance of Christianity, even while not themselves trusting in Jesus, seems to be a condemnation on the church. The fields are very ripe for harvest, but until the church asks why we are so impotent, why the Spirit has not brought about a harvest, why we seem so fruitless, I imagine the decline will continue.
Great podcast. I am not British nor am I Anglican but from what I hear about the Anglican church in the UK I thank God for people like you but I despair about the state of the church because of the wishy-washy "let us try and blend in with the world" actions of the majority of Bishops. The Gospel is the power of God to salvation for all who believe and it is powerful to change lives but the majority of Bishops don't seem to be preaching this.
I was saved in 1975 and have witnessed the move of Christianity away form the teachings of the bible and Jesus. Indeed the bible itself tells us that in the last days the will be a falling away from the faith. Maybe we will see a revival before then or maybe we are approaching the time of the Lord's return.
🙏
I don't want to burst Christian bubbles, I read Brierley's article, and I disagreed with it. It was mostly anecdotes from certain elites that Christianity isn't bad. It is not a shift in church attendance and reflects broader trends in culture wars. The only sign of Christian resurgence is found in ethnic minority attendance to church.
What do you make of the current phenomenon of the steady trickle of natives into ethnic minority churches, mostly Eastern Orthodox?
@@physiocrat7143 I would suspect that the main converts to Eastern Orthodoxy would be other Christians to Orthodoxy and not non-Christians to Orthodoxy.
@@AmazingDuckmeister
Not so. Most of the ethnic congregation are from former communist countries with a couple of generations of atheism behind them ie they are converts. Most of the new people are also converts from nothing. There is a definite trend here.
I find in Canada the Anglican Church is getting new members.
Immigrants...??
Interesting…Catholic churches seem to be growing in UK. Our problem is a lack of priests in the West…lots in Africa, India, Philippines not Europe which has been eaten out by secularism and materialism.
I don’t know about revival, but in my own church and in others nearby, from many denominations and none, there does appear to be a ticking up of attendance and interest.
As you get older past your 30's. You start wonder and worry if there are such places as Hell and Heaven and which you go to. When your younger then you basically don't care.
Points well made re co-opted Christianity. We must always TEST the claims that are made… we will know them by their fruits.
REV DAN! Would be interesting if you could discuss just how much you need to believe to return to the church. I now find myself ( after leaving the RC church 20 years ago) feeling that the nominal christianity that you could prsctise there is a very good thing. ie, you could attend and no asked you , " have you been saved" have you accepted Jesus" or such like, I mean there was room for doubts now and then, which we all have. I have been attempting to return to more protestant churches but have been disappointed, feel its failed. To be honest whilst I can totally respect JC and be a " follower" I will never belueve in such as the virgin birth and the ressurection again. So how much faith do you need to return? Discuss !
I was a devout atheist in my teens and twenties. I did a science degree and worked as a scientific researcher. And you're right, I did find things like the virgin birth and the Resurrection hard to swallow, it didn't help that my friends were Christians were evangelical protestants who also believed literally in the Adam and Eve story. I did come to faith eventually. But in order to do so I had to reconsider atheism. If atheism is true, then you must literally believe the universe with all its laws, constants and properties somehow created itself out of absolutely nothing for no reason 13.7 billion years ago (or thereabouts, the number keeps on changing as science gets better). If you can swallow that (I suspect most atheists never even think about it), then the virgin birth and resurrection aren't really that hard. As the angel said to Mary at the annunciation " all things are possible to God".
@@philiphumphrey1548 Someone once said 'if Genesis 1 v 1 is true, the rest follows'!
Surely there is a danger of culture returning to morals (works) without Christ? Jesus offered so much more than ethics.
Christianity has always regrouped through the scapegoating of miniorites. Witchhunts. The us versus them, in/out,sinner/saved. There's strength in numbers...those kind of dynamics are very effective. It's how cults operate. Compare that with “I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.” 1 Corinthians 1:10. There's always a resistance to change.😪 I don't think the problem is atheism or homosexuality as much as the modern superstition, the hocus pocus, the gnosticism. That's your real enemy. Superstitious people have very weak faiths.
There are good and bad people from all minorites, different affinity groups. Learn to know the differences
Which hunts?
My concern is that this 'revival' is a cuckoo that will replace true faith in Jesus with an appreciative love for the metaphors of visible Christianity without the heart.
I wish it were true, but I honestly don't see it "on the ground". Last Friday we had an ecumenical service on the town square and it was great but it was about 100 people at most with some bemused onlookers in a town of 15,000. And while I've been enjoying Russel Brand's show on Rumble and love Jordan Peterson's work, they have been hounded out of mainstream media and psychology respectively. It's almost as if we Christians and people like Brand and Peterson who are seeking truth are on the margins.
Ideology is a belief system. Psychology is a science. You have to ask that about jordan.
Why would GOD need revival ?
Mankind going there own way has never worked out well so why do it?
Cake tomorrow?
Dan!
Howmany times does christianity have to be re imagined.
When you say that you can only reach God by being christian you have to then decide which church is true.
Methodist, catholic, Jehovah witness, anglican and so on.
Then you have to decide which gospel is truer than the other.
Mark or Mathew, maybe Luke or John.
Has there been peace in the last 2000 years?
Has the poor been fed and the sick healed?
Is their evil in the world?
Why does God allow this even when you believe in Jesus?
Should all christians be born without consent and die as theological martyr's?
No!
What you are saying is live and believe and your mind will continue no matter what pain you go through here because it is God's will and you will smile through it all.
This is why people do not come to church.
Often mistranslation of text leads to false doctrin.
Scrupture is now being seen in the context of the people's traditions, symbolism and knowledge of the time. The perspective changes dramatically.
If you laid out the history of the gospels and howmany varients their are and howmany complete texts have been found and how John and revelation copy the Old testament, howmany of your followers would stop comming to church?
hi rev dan. sorry to bother. you sent me your email, and I emailed you as I had asked. but I never heard back. it was about 3 weeks ago.
I noticed two years ago that woke was driving people to Jesus because woke is soulless and we have souls.
I wouldn’t go quoting Russell brand. Three years ago, a podcast I no longer watch told fans who kept asking for them to get Russell brand on that they would never get Russell brand on their shoe. They said they cannot say why because brand takes anyone to court who mentions the matter, but put it this way, many women have gagging orders from him.
I wouldn’t go quoting Russell brand. Like asylum seekers, he does anything to make himself look “good”. Whatever is fashionable at the time. He tried being a comedian. He was relatively successful. He tried acting. He flipped massively. Now he’s a truth telling youtuber. Now he’s converting to Christianity when other big names have. Come on.
He’s diverting attention away from why he has slapped quite a number of women with gagging orders. Wake up.
Short answer: No! Despite a resurgence in traditional practices, the hard truth is that the message of Christianity is losing ground to atheism, humanism, and even Islam in the UK. It's time for the Christian community to wake up, stop ignoring reality and accept that things will (and probably need to) get worse before they get better.
I read Justin’s book. Not really impressed.
Sorry, Sir, but GK Chesterton and Justin are simply wrong about Christianity ever dying.
They're simply wrong about Christianity 😮
Fire and brimstone will always fill the pews. Controlling other's sex lives through guilt is very motivational. If church were a celebration like it's supposed to be, maybe people would go, but for the right reasons.😢
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the UK.
