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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
IF == we have a decision to make.
MY PEOPLE, CALLED BY MY NAME == Not the atheists and pretenders, but those who are in a relationship with God.
HUMBLE THEMSELVES == We have such a struggle with pride and the thought that we can do everything in our own strength. But only in God, are all things possible.
PRAY == Seems more and more to be an afterthought by many but we need to take everything to God and pray without ceasing.
SEEK MY FACE == Seek God with all our hearts, souls, and minds. When we seek the God with all our heart, we will find him (Jer. 29:13)
TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS == Hard to turn from sin when we continually deny it exists, or worse yet, condone it.
I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN == God will hear the prayers of HIS people, who are HUMBLE, and REPENTANT.
WILL HEAL THEIR LAND == The healing of the creator and great physician. Those who consider themselves Christian in America, can be a part of a great REVIVAL if we get back to the basics of our faith — PRAYER, HUMBLENESS, LEAVING A LIFE OF SIN, LOVING OTHERS, AND SEEKING GOD WITH ALL THAT WE ARE!
Remember, REVIVAL starts with each individual allowing the Spirit to work within us! Do you feel a stirring in your heart!?
