“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
One of my favorite scriptures that pertain to prayer and what happens when we adhere to the directive as described in the verse.
First of all to be called “My people” speaks to the relationship we have with God is that we are His! We belong to him! This relationship is a covenant to where something is required from both parties.
Our part if this covenant is to humble ourselves (remember He is God,not us), pray (talk to God about it and listen to Him), seek His face(ask God for wisdom and direction), turn from our wicked ways (repent), THEN He will hear from heaven.
When He hears from heaven, He will forgive our sin and heal our land! We can limit what our ‘Land” is to our government or our Nation but let’s make it more personal than that. Land can be considered territory.
Take your finger and draw a circle around yourself. Whatever is in your circle is your Land. Your Land could be made up of relationships, your children, grandchildren, your job, your health. Whatever is in your life that matters to you is your Land. When we do our part, God is faithful to do His. Our biggest role in our covenant is to Pray! Everything we need to do is birthed out of Prayer.
If you are needing your land healed, come before God humbly and pray with a heart of repentance and watch God begin everything that your circle contains!`#ButGod
