In light of this article, and if you had written "and God wants him 
to...", I'd be compelled to agree. Still no sign of "and God told him...".

Either way, whatever his faith, he's certainly right in one thing:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Blair complained in 2007 that he had been unable to talk about his 
faith while in office as he would have been perceived as "a nutter".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And rightly so he would, as it seems.

God bless the British people for this difference to the US-Americans.
