How do we heal families, communities and nations? The answer? By treating the wound and not covering it up.
Individuals, families, communities and nations are struggling today. Parents and caretakers are abusing their children. Children are running away from home. People are committing suicide because they do not know how to handle today's climate. And what is the weather forecast for the next couple of years? The bible says (Matthew 24) that there is going to be wars and rumors of wars. There is going to be plagues sent and the natural weather patterns are not going to be be 'normal.'
For many years, we (as humans) have looked horizontally to the men on Earth to handle our problems. We must first look up and seek a vertical relationship with the Creator to help us. Sure, Obama can help us but he cannot do all that God can do.
People, including myself, need God to heal hurts, answer our questions, and help us live a life of internal peace on the Earth. We need to treat the wounds within first. These wounds includes our wrong mentality, unstable minds (i.e. mental illness), unhealthy diets and broken relationships. The wounds were caused by sin. The people on Earth need to be reconnected with the Father, for He is the answer. I agree with gospel rapper N.R. Hunt that 'the way to the truth is the follow His life.' Whose life? The life of Jesus Christ. The way to healing wounds is to REPENT and seek the father daily!!!
