II Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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.”
If my people, which are called by my name,
(all of you who claim to be Christians)
shall humble themselves
(you are proud to be Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, our Charismatic, because only YOU are really on the right theological track. You are like the Pharisee who prayed “Oh God, look at how religious I am. I am so deserving of your blessings.” You follow ALL your denominational traditions, practices and rules. You carry the “proper” translation. You are in church every time the door is open, but really don’t know The Lord from a lizard.)
and pray
(not that hypocritical prayer you utter in public, or that boilerplate prayer you type out to someone on line. This is the REAL deal... the prayer you utter from your knees, in Private, when we are broken, out of options, and at ROCK BOTTOM),
and seek my face
(because all of YOUR ideas, self-help directions from some pastor’s or evangelist’s book, and Church ‘programs’ have utterly failed, you can no longer even think and, right now, you are OUT of options),
and turn from their wicked ways
(this is called REPENT. And buddy there is no nearly or almost about it. This is serious, and AI means RIGHT NOW. You are humiliated, shamed, and desperate. You can harden yourself and curse God, but you will not die. When your religiousness is shown to be a sham, when the very best of your good works are acknowledged to be filthy before God, when your best efforts show YOUR COMPLETE FAILURE, when your prideful heart is completely broken, and when you finally admit absolute utter defeat, and, from the depths of your heart call out “God HELP ME)
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Folks, THIS is the promise and THIS is the result. There are no shortcuts. There is no room for negotiation. God is not going to bargain with you. It makes no difference who you follow:
Franklin Graham, Bennie Hinn, Shelton Smith, Rick Warren, Joyce Meyers, Jesse DuPlantis or Pope whatever his name is.
You have said you are a Born Again Believer in Jesus Christ and unless you exercise these things in your personal life on a daily basis then you have failed, right now you are under Judgement from God. It does not matter one bit what you personally believe about The Bible, it’s inspiration, it’s authority or its relevance in the 21st century.
It is all written in The Bible. God said it. It doesn’t make any difference whether you accept it or believe it. Right this minute you, your family, your neighbors, your Nation and your planet are under judgement for ignoring His Word.
Almighty God means business. He has given YOU the solution.
What will YOU do?
