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.
