"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."
Concerned people use this passage in our day when discussing the problems with nations, governments, and leaders needing to repent. Let's remember that its most complete application must find its home in physical Israel, in us, and in our churches as "the Israel of God" (Galatians 3:26-29; 6:16; Romans 9:6-9). We can begin revival in our land, churches, and groups if we humbly commit to daily prayer, seeking God's presence in our world as we turn away from wickedness and seek God's forgiveness.
My Prayer...
O God, Father of all nations and peoples, please enter our world with clear signs of your power and grace. Transform us and our lives as we seek to live under the Lordship of Jesus! Call the lost to you through us. Use us as the first fruits of renewal and restoration as you begin to heal our land and our world through your people and your grace. In Jesus' name. Amen.
