IF My People...

You know the verse.

THE verse for revival.

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

To avoid conflict or pain, it is advisable to skip to the part about forgiveness and healing. But that is not how it works. 😁

God said IF MY PEOPLE...

Humble themselves,

pray,

seek,

and repent

THEN, there will be forgiveness and healing.

Humility: it is all about You, Lord.

Prayer: it is all about Your heart and mind, Lord.

Seeking: I want to know You more, Lord.

Repentance: I want to be more like You, Lord.

Therefore (in humility), confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16)

Genuine change must begin IN you (and me).

If you are serious about the change you are praying for,

• deal with your sin appropriately and quickly.
• seek the Lord with all you heart.
• and pray with GREAT POWER!

Side note: The great power of prayer is in accomplishing God's will, not yours. 😉
