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. 2 Chronicles 7:14
As often as I hear this scripture quoted, read and even preached I often wondered if we truly get the essence of what this verse is saying to those who read it. In my observance of it God tells us what he is able to do if we meet his condition. If I was to preach this I would entitle it “If”
If My People Will Humble Themselves
If My People Would Pray
If My People Would Seek My Face
If My People Would Turn from their Wicked Ways
If we do all as prescribed this is what he is willing to do for us…
Then I Will Hear From Heaven
Then I Will Forgive Their Sin
Then I Will Heal Their Land
Only then will I meet your needs and mandates only If you would do what I have asked of you….. Most times we want to bypass the instruction in order to gain the results and often wonder why God is not doing what he said he would do. The Bible is as I heard someone said Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth!!!!
I believe and know from on hand experience that when we follow his word as he has prescribed for us is when we will see his hand mightily in our lives. We need to Humble Ourselves, We Must Pray and in Prayer seek his Face and lastly turn from our wicked ways (sin) in order to see the mighty hand of God Plain and Simple If we only do these things.
