But you seldom, almost never, hear the TRUE statement that the United States needs to hear! 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 says "Then the LORD appeared to Solomon (reported to be the wisest man to have ever lived) in the night and said to him: "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME 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!"
Since Solomon was the WISEST man to have lived (1 Kings 4:30) it would seem we should follow the same LORD gave him to restore Israel from their sinful debacle! People seem to desire to be blessed physically THEN, if we get around to it, honor GOD when we get time.
GOD's instructions are rather clear concerning how HE will bless. "IF my people" is not negotiable. We must HUMBLE ourselves, PRAY, SEEK HIS FACE, and TURN FROM OUR SINFUL WAYS before we can expect GOD to bless anything we do!
After we do these things THEN GOD WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN! Then HE will forgive our sin! And THEN HE will heal our land! GOD desires to bless HIS children. Psalms 128:4 says "Behold, thus shall the MAN BE BLESSED who fears the LORD." GOD cannot bless those who reject HIM and HIS principles though. We (the United States) cannot be successful outside of GOD's grace.
Politicians and pundits can make all of the speeches with all kinds of promises. But until we HUMBLE ourselves, PRAY, SEEK HIS FACE, and TURN FROM OUR SINFUL WAYS we will continue on our down slide toward destruction. Only GOD can save our land!
My name is Ray Nelson, and I not only approve of this message, I humbly beseech ALL to adhere to it!
