I WILL HEAR

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) ... I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
    In 2 Chronicles chapter 30, the Nation of Israel is called to gather at Jerusalem to keep the Passover, immoral living had filled the land, everyone worshipped at the altar of their preferred god, the land was sin sick and abandoned by the God of creation.
   The summons came by letter and runners, in vs. 10 the writer says, "They laughed and mocked." That did not hinder the king, he followed through and the nation came together and repented. The people saw God at work and the sinful living ceased, the land was cleansed and healed as all who came into God's presence were convicted of immoral living and confessed.
   All the land was affected and the people did not return to their homes until every sinful practice was abolished. Where poverty and sin were common, the people brought what they had, so much, the House of God overflowed with the abundance. The economy of God was restored and everyone was blessed. The nation was restored because they obeyed God, and God blessed.
    We need a revival today, we have repeated the past failures of other nations, personal revival and national is paramount, if there is no revival, there will be no nation Under God. What should we do, repent and return to God, ask the Lord to deliver us from sin, personal and national? Confess to God we have abandoned Him and ask His forgiveness, pray that God "will hear from heaven and forgive our sin and heal our land."
Heavenly Father, we need You to intervene, we have lost our way, help us to see the need for repentance and confession personally and nationally. Help us to come together as one and seek Your face for the land, today let us pray that Your will is done in our lives. Amen
