“If My people who are called by My name…” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

“If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”(2 Chronicles 7:14)

This morning as I was listening to the Lord I was meditating on the state of our nation. At this time we are a divided people who are being taught morals by Hollywood, distorted Bible through movies and Humanism through our schools.

Politicians spend their time trying to destroy the reputations of each other and sugar-coating real issues.  We are in a mess!

However; our God is able to change everything around us if we come to Him in His way, through Jesus. We are the ones who need to repent of our ways, change our own behavior and seek the presences of God Almighty. It is not about THEM. It is about US.

We are His people. His call is “come to Him.” Allow Him to show us the areas of our lives that need to be submitted to Him. As we surrender to His will, His Word, then He will change our nation.

So, if you are one of the many who sees our nation in trouble, join with me and seek God through Jesus Christ. Allow Him to change us and then the things and people around us will reflect it.

If you recall, when Adam sinned, God said that because you sinned, the ground is cursed. God did not curse the ground. I believe the same is still true. Our land reacts to our righteousness or our sins.

This is not a time of beating ourselves up. It is a time to confess our sins and be forgiven. Then change our ways and continually seek the God of our Salvation! Amen!

Blessings on your day!

“If My people, who are called by My name…” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Our country is in a crisis!

Do you consider yourself a Christian, a Jew, or a believer in Messiah, then Jehovah God is talking to you and me.

“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 AMP)

Notice this scripture does not say if the heathen, unsaved, the wicked, unbelievers will turn to God, He will heal our land. He is talking to us. We have not walked in love and forgiveness. We have sat in judgment, held onto our self righteousness and thought much better of our selves than we ought. We allow unclean TV, media and music with wicked lyrics to blast over our airwaves.

The state of our country is a spiritual matter and only if we humble ourselves before God, will He heal our land. This is not something we can do ourselves.

I admit to having had trouble praying for our leaders. Most of the time I wanted to pray, “Lord, get them out of office! They are ruining our country.”

I speak for myself and many I know who have grown complacent in voting for someone who believes in the great God Jehovah and willing to stand up for the values that separate us from most other countries. 

We need to pray for leaders who are courageous enough to say, “No!" when something is wrong! And who are willing to walk the talk. The moral and religious values of our leaders matter greatly. One leads by conviction. We can lift our leaders before the throne of God and ask for their salvation, courage to stand firm on the word, and are willing live a life of integrity.  

Finally, we have to be willing to turn from our own wicked ways. Seek God with all of our heart because our very lives and nation depend on it.

This is not the most encouraging post, but if we will yield ourselves to God, the outcome can surpass all of our expectations, and light will overtake the darkness. For God is able to do far more than we can ask or even think. (Ephesians 3:20) Amen!

Blessings on your day!
