If my People (Part 2)

2 Chronicles 7:14…
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.

Now let's pause there for just a second, because we've been studying this passage kind of piece by piece over the last number of weeks, and we remember that this is God speaking to Solomon in an answer to a prayer that Solomon prayed in chapter 6.

• We have God responding to that prayer kind of point-by-point. God is actually addressing Israel through Solomon, Solomon as their king.

He's addressing the whole of his people, saying not only do I want Solomon to pray this way, but I want all of Israel to do that. And I want Israel to humble themselves and to pray and to seek my face.

God is talking about 4 things to do…

• Humble yourself
• Pray (Cry out to the Lord)
• Seek my face
• Turn from wicked ways
