IF MY PEOPLE...

2 Chronicles 7:14

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 be merciful to their sins and heal their land.

Personal Challenge

The people of Israel, God's chosen people, were given the instructions that they needed in order to get their land healed. Why was this necessary? Because they had departed from the way that the Lord had called them to. The church created by Christ is God's chosen people. We too can follow these instructions to heal our land. it all begins with humbling ourselves before our God, seeking His face, and turning from our wicked ways. So often we call out this verse and call upon God to do the healing, but we do not follow the steps outlined for us to do. God desires to be merciful to us in our sins and to heal our land, but we must act first. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
