If My People...”

“and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” II Chron. 7:14

The late Dr. Francis Schaeffer was asked whether he thought Christians could be successful in turning the tide of spiritual decay in this country.

He believed it was possible, but success was not as important as being faithful to God.

Do you remember reading about Abraham interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah? Genesis 18 tells how God promised to spare the city if just ten righteous people could be found there.

If only ten had remained faithful to God there was hope for the city. Sadly, there were not even that many and the city was destroyed.

When you think about the need for revival in his great country, do you focus on the need for the lost to repent - or the need for God’s people to repent?

Repentance and revival are desperately needed.

In the Old Testament God promised the Israelites, that if His people who were called by His name would:
1. Humble themselves
2. Pray
3. Seek His face
4. Turn from their wicked ways....
that he would restore their land.

By the same principle, if we who bear the name of Christ as our Savior will do these things we will be found faithful and may see a turn in the tide of spiritual decay which is sweeping our nation.

Will you prayerfully commit yourself to all four prerequisites to God’s blessing so that you will be found faithful by Him?
