"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land."
2 Chron 7:14
2 Chron 7:14
Prayer and confession require a constant attitude of humility. And the Lord offers us a way out of suffering, sin and death in this verse. Be humble and pray.
But there is more that is given here than just this... He also states clearly that we must turn from our wicked ways. REPENTANCE! We are flesh; meaning we are flawed, failed, fallible creatures that forever flail to find fulfillment. But if we turn from those sins (and make no mistake, beloved ones, we all have them), we can grow closer to God. And He will listen to us and forgive!
And He also promises to heal our land. Think of your land as your home. Now, if all of us took this one passage, spread it around a little, and affected enough homes in our great nation, would our literal land be healed??? Something to ponder on...
Pray tonight with your beloved gift from the Father that you would experience the healing of whatever ailment affects your land. Pray that you would turn from your own wicked ways and seek His face. I promise you, it will be in those moments that you hear Him speak!
God bless you all!!!
