If My People Who Are Called By My Name, Will Humble Themselves And Pray & Seek My Face And Turn From Their Wicked Ways, I Will Heal Their Land

We Cannot Live With One Foot In The World

2 CHRONICLES 7:14
“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.
”‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NKJV‬

Solomon, in chapter 6, asked God to provide for the people when they sinned. God gave Solomon for conditions for forgiveness, which in itself is subject to us forgiving others (MATHEW 6:14-15).
Humble yourself before God, admitting wrong doing; pray asking for forgiveness; turn from sinful behaviour; and seek God continuously.
Repentance is more than simply saying sorry.
If one is really sorry, he or she will make every effort to turn from their sin. However sin is complicated, for much of sin is result of addiction or even cultural beliefs and even fear. But if you ask God in prayer, He is faithful to help.
Whether sin is of an individual, or group, or even a nation, following these four conditions will lead to forgiveness and cleansing.
God always keeps His promises; He always hears the sincere prayers of His people.
In today’s world we really need God’s help. Our financial systems are broken as are the world’s healthcare systems.
Fear reigns over the people of this earth and divisions are growing between the people as our world governments are enforcing more and more controls over the people. War and threats of war are increasing as our world becomes more and more unsettled.
My beloved, we must all turn to God asking Him for forgiveness, humbling ourselves before God in repentance, and turning from the sin of this world.
Only then, as we continually seek God and join together in prayer, can peace and joy in the chaos of this world be restored.
My beloved, we are heading toward socialism and dictatorship and it’s time with God’s help, to stand up for our freedoms.
There are many different opinions of what is happening in this world today and divisions are growing. The truth is, none of us really know the whole truth nor have all the answers. “Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, He is faithful to forgive us our sins, and bring every provision when we put our trust in Him.
But understand, these are the last days. We can expect the stormy waters that are taking us toward the cashless society and restrictions described in REVELATION 13:11-18.
We can expect persecution and unreasonable rules and procedures placed on God’s people. All these things will come to pass, but God is faithful to provide and protect his people through it all.
The devil is working hard with his agendas, but Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
So while we see growing evidence of the devil’s works, in these last days we the see the glory of God as He brings revival to the body of Christ and thousands and thousands of people give themselves to our Lord and Saviour all around the world.
God is working for His people; indeed He never stops working and the ultimate victory is already ours through Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
But we must actively cooperate with Him, for He is working through His people.
Therefore, as Jesus said, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God has made way for His people in these last days, but we cannot continue to live with one foot in the world.
As Paul told the Corinth’s, “O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
