Healing a nation

Recorded on the 10th May 09, Rev Nick Grew brings a message to us that is a responce to God's prompting. Previously, one of our congregation had a picture from the Lord, she described it like this: "I had a picture where I was looking up at a land mass as if I was under water seeing it floating on top. Underneath I could see that there was virtually nothing holding it up & it looked like it was going to collapse. I felt the land represented our nation and that God was showing me that the foundations on which our society / way of life is built are virtually non-existent and about to break because they haven’t been laid in Him. I felt that foundations had been laid with a ‘total disregard’ attitude." "I felt frightened by this and a sense of urgency that we need to do something quickly. Again I repented and asked God for mercy. I then kept thinking about scaffolding being put underneath to hold the land up and a real sense of urgency to try and do something to stop collapse. I felt like this scaffolding needs to be the church, on behalf of the nation, holding the land up until correct foundations can be laid – that the scaffolding needs to be our cries for mercy and repentance and prayers, but felt like just one very small voice on my own doing this." Nick looks at how the church should respond to this. He asks us if the suggestion of God’s people being the scaffolding to uphold our society in this time of crisis is Biblically sound & reasonable, and if so, what do we need to do?
