A Time to Heal �?/STRONG>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.�?(2 Chronicles 7:14)
Bush Jr may want to attack Iraq, John Grisham may have penned A Time To Kill and Matt Damon may have starred in the movie, but God says now is A Time To Heal. After 911, many people suddenly turn back to God in search of protection, restoration and healing. Churches are getting packed, Bibles are getting bought or dusted, prayer and candlelight vigils are commonplace throughout America and the rest of the world. While many people keep up appearances of being spiritual, God has outlined four steps involved in healing our land in His Word to King Solomon. The first is humility, we all need to eat some humble pie, stop being the captain of our souls and the master of our fate and confess our limitations and our need. The second is prayer, being alone with God to confess our sins and trangressions. Then we are to seek God’s face, studying the Word daily until we know what He is saying to us, for it is in the Word of God that we see the face of God. We are to seek His face and not His hand. Lastly, we are to turn from our wicked ways, from selfishly chasing power, profit, prestige or pleasure where God is nowhere near number ONE. Once we become humble, pray and study the Word to see Him, we will be aware of the need to abandon those things which are out of the will of God. It’s God’s way or the highway, and wicked ways which are contrary to God’s ways must be eliminated.
Tom Hanks is on the Road To Perdition, but God in response to our Road To Contrition will hear from heaven for He is totally aware of what is going on, and He will know when we have met the requirements. What blessed assurance we have, that God is so concerned about us He rejoices when we choose to follow Him and obey His Word. Secondly, God will forgive our sins, not just our individual sins of fornicating, lying, stealing and cheating but the sins of our fathers and the sins of the nation in killing innocent babies through abortion, in kicking God out of public schools, in warmongering for profits, and in condoning homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle. If God heard but did not act, it could be devastating. But God does act for He promises that He will forgive our trespasses. Finally, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what we ask or think when He begins to heal our land. He will heal our families, our bodies, our marriages, our children, our finances, our freedom, our privacy, our prosperity, our governments and restore the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Our forefathers established a covenant with God with the Mayflower Compact in 1620 and God intends to keep His promise to bless our land. Many pray for revival, but real revival is the result of people turning from their wicked ways and going God’s way. Michael Landon may have given us glimpses of the Highway to Heaven, but only God can take us there.
