2 Chronicles 7:14 states, "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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." I can think of no other time, possibly in my adult life, when revival and restoration is needed so much in both the church and in our land.
We see in this passage that if we truly seek the Lord, it will include repentance...turning away from our own wickedness. True seeking can only happen with a humble, surrendered heart. As seekers of Him, we need to realize our utter helplessness without God in our worship and in our land. If we as God's people would but become serious about our seeking after God, we would see passionate, life-changing worship and we would see revival in our land and throughout the whole world.
It is a promise of God. If we humble ourselves, pray, seek Him and repent ourselves, God will act. Our world is on fire; our churches are not. What are we waiting on? When are we going to see what is going on around us and fall on our faces before God? He is waiting to manifest His presence among us and heal and restore our churches and our land. If, if, if . . .there will be no holding back the great things God will do in and around us. mjm
