GOD IS NOT HEALING OUR LAND

GOD IS NOT HEALING OUR LAND

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

I have heard this verse quoted quite a lot recently and I believe it to be thoroughly true. During my time of study and prayer I have been concerned about the great travesties that are happening all across our nation. Lies, Hate, Deception, Wickedness, Evil, Murder, Drunkenness, Idolatry and False Prophets on every side.
So I went to God’s Word and seen how we have taken the promise of healing our land out of context. Let’s look together-

12 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 "When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,
14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
15 "Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer [made] in this place.
16 "For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
17 "As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,
18 "then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, 'You shall not fail [to have] a man as ruler in Israel.'
19 "But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them,
20 "then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21 "And [as for] this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and this house?'
22 "Then they will answer, 'Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.' "

Take a good look at the conditions that God places on the healing and health of the land. He calls for us to repent from our wicked ways and follow His statutes and commandments. But we have not only remained connected to our sins in this nation, but we are embracing them in closer and tighter.
Just one example of this is that first we make it legal to murder the unborn child up to a certain amount of time and called it rational instead of sin. It became the standard by which we choose our leaders and judges. It was embraced by generations who saw no wrong in their actions. Instead of turning away from it, we have magnified it and given the abortionist even more power, even now until just before birth. I’m saying that we have possibly murdered the cure for cancer, poverty, diseases of all kinds and lost probably some of the greatest minds and leaders our nation could have known. But because we have not turned away, then I say God is not going to heal our land. Instead He has put us aside, uprooted and cast us out. Conditions have not been met to heal our land.

Although this is true, I will continue to pray and hope for a great deliverance to come. We must repent individually and reach our neighbor first. We have to return to God ourselves and let Him guide our steps.
