(It Happens After Prayer)

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.

(IT HAPPENS AFTER PRAYER)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES AT A TURNING POINT

AND A TURNING POINT IS

a time at which a decisive change in a situation occurs, especially one with beneficial results.

IN OTHER WORD EACH OF US AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAVE FOUND OURSELVES AT A TURNING POINT IN LIFE

YOURS MIGHT BE ONE THING AND MINES MIGHT BE ANOTHER

BUT REGARDLESS WHAT YOURS OR MINES IS

IF YOU WANT YOUR SITUATION TO GET BETTER

I STOP BY BETHESDA TO ENCOURAGE YOU THIS MORNING /EVENING

THAT IT HAPPENS AFTER PRAYER

BECAUSE IN LIFE THINGS HAPPENS

AND IF WE DON`T STAY READ UP PRAYED AND SUITED UP

OUR FAITH WEAKENS

AND TEMPTATION INVADES OUR PRIVACY

AND THEN SICKNESS COMES AND LONELINESS TRYS TO SUFFOCATE US

WHILE WORRY IS TRYING TO STRANGLE US AND OUR DECISIONS WE ARE MAKING ARE PARALYZING US

IN OTHER WORDS

THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE CONFRONTS US ALL

AND NONE US CAN CANCEL OUR APPOINTMENT WITH TROUBLE

BECAUSE TROUBLE COME TO THE RICH AND THE POOR

THE YOUNG AND THE OLD

AND NONE OF US CAN OUT RUN TROUBLE

BECAUSE THE TROUBLE YOU RUN FROM OVER HERE WILL FOLLOW YOU OVER THERE

BECAUSE WE ALL FIND OURSELVES IN 3 PLACES IN LIFE

AND THAT IS GOING INTO TROUBLE

IN THE MIDDLE OF TROUBLE

OR COMING OUT OF TROUBLE

AND JUST IN CASE THERES SOMEONE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE WHO IS COMING OUT OF TROUBLE

I NEED TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY READ UP -PRAYED UP AND SUITED UP BECAUSE ANOTHER DOSE OF TROUBLE MIGHT BE HEADED YOUR WAY

NOTICE WHAT GOD TELLS SOLOMON IN VERSE 13

2 Chronicles 7:13 (KJV)

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

YOU SEE

When Israel sinned against God, sometimes the judgment which came upon the land was to stop the rain.

Second, devouring. "Locust... devour the land" .Locusts could quickly destroy the crops of the land.

Third, disease. "Pestilence" .

IN OTHER WORDS

When adverse conditions exist in nature, we need to look heavenward to learn why.

SO GOD TELLS SOLOMON

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.
