Pastor Jerry Eze Leads Mass Prayer at Old Trafford to Rebuke Curse

E. Njeri E. Njeri — September 26, 2026

Thousands pack the stands as Pastor Jerry Eze of Streams of Joy stands in the heart of Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester this Saturday afternoon and pours out fervent prayer, worship, and spiritual warfare that drives back demonic forces while calling for heaven’s open response. Believers from across the United Kingdom and beyond fill every seat seeking a fresh move of power because this moment feels right for God’s presence to rest on the famous ground.

Crowds stream through the gates at Sir Matt Busby Way in Stretford long before midday. Voices rise in song. Hands stretch high. The air itself seems charged. Pastor Jerry Eze takes the platform, and the atmosphere shifts at once.

He leads the people in worship that shakes the rafters of the famous football ground. He prays with fire. He speaks against every dark influence that tries to hold lives in bondage. The scene matches the deep hunger many carried into the day. They came ready. They came expectant.

The event forms the NSPPD United Kingdom Prayer Conference 2026, organised by Streams of Joy International. Free registration was filled weeks ago. Check-in began early. The schedule runs from midday through the evening hours.

Gospel voices join the platform too. Sunmisola Agbebi lifts worship. Dunsin Oyekan carries the sound of surrender. Kaestrings and Mercy Chinwo add their voices. Together they create a river of praise that refuses to stop. Yet the centre remains clear. Pastor Jerry Eze directs the flow of prayer and declaration.

Why Does the Crowd Seek God’s Presence at Old Trafford?

Believers gather at Old Trafford because they believe this stadium can host a fresh outpouring that changes families, cities, and nations. The famous venue sits in Manchester and normally echoes with football chants. Today it echoes with shouts of faith.

People travel from every corner of the United Kingdom. Some come from further still. They stand shoulder to shoulder and declare that what God cannot do does not exist. That phrase has marked the daily online sessions of NSPPD for years. Now it fills a physical stadium that seats tens of thousands.

Jerry Eze built this movement after starting Streams of Joy in Umuahia years ago. Online prayer sessions grew during difficult seasons and reached millions each morning. Previous gatherings in London drew huge numbers.

This year the move reaches Manchester United’s home ground. Transport networks prepare for the volume. Trams and buses carry people toward the site. The local area feels the weight of the day. Yet inside the stands the focus stays fixed on heaven.

Short cries of agreement break out often. Longer seasons of quiet waiting follow. The rhythm never settles into sameness. One moment the people shout. Next, they kneel. Pastor Jerry Eze moves among the declarations with clear authority. He calls for healing. He calls for restoration.

He calls for every chain to snap. Attendees respond as one body. The beautiful scene that social posts describe becomes real for everyone present. A sense of timing settles over the crowd. Many later say the day feels appointed.

How Does Pastor Jerry Eze Direct Spiritual Warfare? During the Gathering?

Pastor Jerry Eze directs spiritual warfare by leading open declarations that confront every opposing force while the people agree with the loud voices of faith. He does not hold back. He speaks against barriers that limit destiny.

He speaks against sickness that steals years. He speaks against delay that frustrates progress. The crowd answers with fire. Worship rises again. The cycle repeats across the afternoon and into the evening.

Exact details of every session stay fluid because the day follows the leading of the moment. Yet the pattern remains consistent with the known style of NSPPD. Prophetic words flow. Testimonies surface. People share stories of sudden breakthroughs. Families stand together for prayer.

Young people and older believers share the same space. The stadium that once hosted only sporting contests now hosts a different kind of contest. Faith presses forward. Darkness loses ground.

Jerry Eze has carried out this assignment for years. Born in Umuahia in Abia State, he trained in history and business before full-time ministry. He founded Streams of Joy and later launched the daily online prayer platform that now spans continents.

Branches exist across Nigeria, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and beyond. The Manchester expression of the church already serves the local community. Today’s conference lifts that work onto a larger stage. Old Trafford becomes the altar for a season.
