If my people………..
We just saw once again senseless taking of lives. Lives Jesus died for.
If my people………..
We are seeing hurts and cries and pain.
If my people………..
We are seeing hopelessness and helplessness.
If my people………..
America needs the healing power and grace of almighty God to intervene in our Cities, our States, our Churches and our Homes.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
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.
God gives us the answer in the scripture shown above. Are you Gods people? Will you pray and seek His face?
We all agree we need healing in our land. Healing of hate and of selfishness. Healing of stubbornness and pride. Healing of seeking our way not Gods way.
But are we willing to do our part. Are we willing to come with humble hearts to our Father God and follow His formula for healing our land? This country was founded on the Word of Almighty God to be a place where all men and women can be free to live in peace.
We have strayed so far from the plan of God for our Nation that our forefathers would not recognize it. But are we willing to use the Power of Prayer to turn our Nation back to God?
Let’s look closely at that verse:
1) If my people, which are called by my name::: not the entire nation but the people who call themselves believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
2) Shall Humble themselves::: recognize that we are hopeless without the Lord God of the universe.
3) and Pray and seek my face::: Just take a moment and compare your prayer and praise and seeking the Lord time to the hours you have in a day or week. Are we willing to pray the price for God to heal our land.
4) and Turn from their wicked ways::: maybe you feel you have no wicked ways. Maybe you are a good, good person. Start looking inwardly at fear, confusion, unforgiveness, and irritation. Start looking outwardly at prejudice, impatience, and neglect of loving others. Those things are not of Faith and the Bible tells us that whatever is not of Faith is sin. Are you willing to lay down some of the things that are not of Faith?
THEN GOD WILL::::
1) Hear
2) Forgive
3) Heal our Land
We are called Children of the Almighty God. As such we have a privilege to bring to Him all the broken pieces of a Nation out of control. Will you join with me to be the people of God who will rise up and say “We are the people”?
May we rise as a mighty army who know our God and do great exploits!! May our prayers rise in intercession for a Nation that has forgotten and forsaken God!!! May we stand and replace hate with love, and judgment with compassion!!!
We serve the much Greater one and yet we act like darkness rules. We are the people and if will rise up and pray, the light of Jesus Christ will shatter the darkness.
No matter how little or how much time you have to seek God for our Nation, please do that. As you are driving to work, pray and seek God’s face, as you are cooking or folding clothes pray asking God to heal our land. Will you just begin with the prayer below? I am calling you to join with me in a prayer drive. Pray for our Nation. If my people:::: are you one???

Father, in Jesus name I come to you. I ask you to invade the Cities, States, Churches, and Homes of the United States of America with your light. I confess that as a Nation we have neglected you and traveled our own path. Heal our hurts and warped thinking from the inside out. Give us Fathers who will stand and declare as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Give us Mothers who will guide their household with Love and Adoration for the creator of the universe. Give us hearts that are filled with your love and compassion. Work your work in us oh God and it will spread. We desire the light of Jesus Christ to cover the whole earth. Let it start in me Father God, please be real in me. Amen
Love, MeMaw
