The Church is too wounded to evangelize, disciple or heal the broken people God wants to reach. The reason for this is simple. And unfortunately, few churches are equipped to heal these walking wounded. That is why any church that wants to be used in the upcoming harvest must face its own people's need for healing and prepare to minister to it. Only then can God send us the harvest for which we're praying.
Secular man faces unparalleled problems.
Multiple divorce, working mothers, work addicted fathers, abortions, adultery, AIDS, homosexuality, alcoholism, pornography, drug abuse, money abuse, rageaholics, food addictions, rape, violent assault and painful rejection have decimated our society. No one is untouched by slavery to sin and disease. The Lord loves the lost too much to send revival before we can bring them to health and maturity. It is estimated that one in three people need serious psychological help. One in six of us will spend time in a psychiatric hospital.
