“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2Chronicles 7:14
This is one of the most familiar promises in the Word of God. But like most of the promises in the Word of God it is conditional. Hence the word “if”. When ever you see the word if included in the promises it implies conditions.🤔 In this passage there are four conditions. The first is the condition of humility. This is one of the most overlooked Godly attributes that is key to all advancement in the Kingdom of God. “God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.” (Always!). All forward motion is enveloped in humility.🤔 Two… Pray! How? Continually! When? Always! Where? Everywhere!
Praying and talking about praying are ACTUALLY two different things.🤔 In your prayer gatherings less sermonizing and more intercession. As Apostle Chuck Davis says, “Turn it into a prayer!” Three… Seek my face!
This is action of the heart not necessarily an action of the prayer.🤔 Seeking God’s face is derived from the intent of the heart and becomes a pursuit imbedded within the believer. All life’s action become a result of this pursuit and/or are secondary to this pursuit.🧐 Seeking the face of God can function with prayer but is not necessarily prayer in and of itself. It is manifest in the heart’s desire therefore transcends the actual act of prayer. Seeking God’s face is an intangible that is seeded into every believer by the Holy Spirit but goes undeveloped by most. Fourth… turn from wickedness. The word “turn” is translated from the Hebrew word “shub”. This word is translated “to repent” ten times in the Old Testament. I’m glad they simply said “turn in this passage. It makes the action clear. Turn from wickedness. Go the other way!
Listen to what He says He will do. “I will hear from heaven and Will forgive their sin and HEAL their land.
We live in a land that needs to be healed. “Holy Father, as a nation, forgive us for becoming a culture of death and terminating the innocent🧸. Remove the corruption within our government. Expose corruption in the election process. Send a revival on this land and heal our land in Jesus Name! Amen!” PastorRusty
