So good today to see so many people talking and debating at the Corner.
Some great conversations including a 2-hour chat with a Moslem man called Abdulah. He tried to persuade me regarding Islam, and I tried to persuade him regarding Christianity, humanly speaking we both failed in our tasks, but whereas Abdulah only has words, we as Christians have the Holy Spirit who can continue to work on Abdulah’s heart long after I have finished talking with him!

I remember reading one of Watchman Nee’s books, and the insight that stuck with me was, that the Holy Spirit’s initial work in restoring a fallen or dead person mirrors the Spirit “moving upon the face of the waters” in the original creation.

The Analogy to Genesis and Creation

•Helplessness of Ruin: Just as the earth in Genesis became formless, dark, and void, fallen humanity is dead, dark, and incapable of lifting itself up or generating its own spiritual revival.
•The Spirit’s Movement: The first step of divine recovery requires the Holy Spirit to actively move over the darkness and human deadness, exactly as He did at the dawn of creation.
•Light and Rebirth: God’s command of “Let there be light!” and the Spirit’s subsequent dividing of light from darkness typifies spiritual rebirth, where divine light penetrates the darkened human soul and exposes the flesh.

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

When the sun shines the people come out to the park, the regulars, curious tourists and those who are just passing through as they walk down to the Serpentine.
Lots of good conversations, but the highlight of the day was, Sufyan (photos 8&9). Yesterday, I picked up some gospels of Luke in Farsi (Farsi is the native name (endonym) for the Persian language) and prayed this morning that I would be able to give one to an Iranian in the park.
At the corner there was no Iranian who wanted to chat, but God moves in mysterious ways! As I was heading back to the car to go home, I noticed a young man all by himself with a carpet and books, at first, I thought he was praying but instead he was binding some books, putting leather covers on a book he had written. Soufi was super-friendly, and we had a chat about many things but (as you might expect) ended up at Jesus, his claims and his identity. Please pray for Sufyan that he will read the gospel and that God will speak clearly to him.
