My Note: If my people, which are called by my name seek my face Ref. Scripture 2 Chron.7:14
If we American Christians would seek God's face and turn from our wicked ways He will heal our land.
Scripture: 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.
2nd scripture 2 Chronicles 7:12 ķAnd
the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard
thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no
rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence
among my people;
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.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine
ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified
this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine
heart shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before
me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded
thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy
kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying,
There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my
statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go
and serve other gods, and worship them;
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots
out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified
for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb
and a byword among all nations.
21 And this house, which is high, shall
be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say,
Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22 And it shall be answered, Because they
forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of
the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and
served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
I am afraid we here in America, as a nation, have drifted too far away from God to humble ourselves, pray, and seek his face, so therefore; our land won't be healed before He returns.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
