Christian Voice is a prophetic ministry in the sense that we attempt, with God's grace, to analyse current events in the light of scripture, proclaim God's word to those in public life and provide the information which Christians need in order to pray with the mind of God in these dark days. We love God and the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we love our fellow man and grieve for those afflicted by the injustice which successive governments have enacted and we pray for the United Kingdom to repent and turn back to God and his ways. There is no salvation in messianic politicians or bureaucratic superstates. The only hope for our dysfunctional nation lies in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Nation In Pain

Who can doubt that there is something deeply wrong in the United Kingdom today? Everyone seems to be looking out for themselves, nobody seems to care, nobody appears to have any honour or respect - from the top to the bottom. There is a political culture of spin and lies, in which no-one can be trusted. Marriage vows don't matter, half a generation of children are growing up without a father, the government is encouraging children into promiscuity, homosexuality and infertility, crime has soared, people seek escape in drugs, our hospitals are filthy, our politicians spend our money like water while we all live on debt, injustice is done in the courts and the poor are robbed by the national lottery. The Christian Faith itself is under attack from politically-correct local government and the media and indecency is the rule in the arts. Last but not l March 15, 2007 ce on earth. How did it come to this?

A Government In Rebellion

The problem is, our leaders try to run things without God. Even though our Queen was anointed to reign under the authority of God in the Name of Jesus Christ and given the Holy Bible as "the rule for the whole life and government of Christian princes," her ministers pass laws in opposition to the expressed will of God. They think they know better. They bear a huge responsibility for the way Britain has fallen into sin and misery as a result. A whole generation has forgotten how this nation, in desperate need, prayed to God in the name of Jesus during the last world war, and how God heard, and saved us by His grace. Since then, we have pushed our Saviour away. We must pray for our Government as never before, that they might "seek first the kingdom of God , and His righteousness."

A Need For Jesus

The state of our nation is a challenge to the Church. We need to engage more with society, bind the wounds of the injured, reach out to the lost and preach both the Commandments of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only hope for our nation is in the risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus. We need to remind the world that God did not give mankind His laws because He wanted to stop us having fun, but because He loves us and wants the best for us. God knows the evil that happens when finite human beings try to do things their own way, and we are proving it. We must pray that God will give the Church unity of purpose, courage and confidence in the truth of all of God's holy word. We must also pray that God will raise up men like John Knox and John Wesley in Britain today to call this nation to repentance.

A Need For Prayer

We Christians must pray for our nation and its people. Our love for our Saviour and our neighbour demands nothing less than fervent, united prayer. Such prayer needs focus. We need to see things not as the world sees them, but as God sees them. We have to filter our experiences through the word of God, not the other way around, so we pray with the mind of God. On top of that, our prayer has to be more than: "Lord, do something!" It needs to be: "Lord, what can I do?" Or as Isaiah said, "Here I am, send me." It is said, "When we work, we work. When we pray, God works." From what Christian Voice has seen, we know that when we do both, God works miracles. That is good, as it will need a miracle for our sad, dysfunctional nation to turn from its belief that mankind knows best and to trust in God again. What was written 3,000 years ago is still true: "Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord." (Psalm 33:12)
