2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 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 sin and heal their land.
Prayer is powerful! Look what God promises when we take these steps.
He says, “my people”, those called by My name.
He’s talking directly to His people. Those who are saved by grace, those of us who are His children through believing and trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ.
We are His children and He is our Father. He’s talking to us.
God wants to bring healing to each one of us today in a big way. But, for Him to do this we must follow the rest of what He tells us to do in these verses.
- We must humble ourselves. Accept the fact that we need forgiveness and healing, and know that we can’t do this on our own. We need God’s help.
- We must pray and seek Him. Some may say, ” well, He already knows what I need, why doesn’t He just help me?” Because our help comes as we obey. When we follow His steps, we show Him that we are serious about receiving the answers and the help He has for us.
- We must repent for the way we have been doing things and then live to change and do it right.
What happens after that? He promises us that He will hear us, forgive us, and heal our land!! Amen.
Do we want healing in our land today? Consider our own lives… our personal land. Is your home in chaos and in need of great restoration?
Is your relationship with God lost?
Are we missing out on our children’s upbringing because we’re too busy working night and day to pay bills, and still never getting ahead?
Are we living as an alcoholic or drug abuser behind closed doors, but still preaching, teaching, and acting like nothing is wrong in the pulpit or among our brothers and sisters?
Are we walking around fornicating, looking at porn, committing adultery and gambling our life away, etc.?
These are some of the things we need to turn from, the sin that is destroying His people, little by little. This sin is active in people who love God and who long to walk closely with Him.
God wants to heal our land. Our nation, and our “personal land”. Let us humbly come to Him in prayer, repenting of our sins and turning from our old ways, accepting His healing for us today. God is our Healer!!
