God Hears Us!!

“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.”-II Chronicles 7:14
 

This verse is often quoted tritely but its impact could be profound if we stop and focus on its precepts: “If ” is conditional but not automatic. “My people who are called by My name”–not everyone who calls upon “God” is actually called by His name. "The ones with the responsibility and authority to bring healing to their land are those who know the name of Yahweh and are willing to be called by His name. “will humble themselves”–an admission that what we have been doing is not working, who we have been looking to for answers don’t have any, and that Yahweh is the only answer and it is against Him only that we have sinned.
“and pray”–there is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Prayer sees the frivolity of the world system. In prayer Hope is found. “and seek My face”–not “seek God for stuff,” not “want what He can do for me” but rather seek to know Him and His ways.“and turn from their wicked ways”–to turn from a wicked way, you have to know what wickedness is. Repentance requires coming into agreement with God. It requires seeing sin as God sees it and then renouncing the old ways of thinking in order to come into the new. A nation of brokenhearted people is evidence that wickedness is in operation.
“then will I hear from Heaven”–once the conditions have been met, God will hear. Yes,
God “hears” everything, even the thoughts of our hearts. Just like people speak different languages and only understand the languages they know, Yahweh hears His language of love, repentance, total reliance on Him, humility, purity, praise, trust, Fruit of the Spirit, etc. “and will forgive their sin”–we cannot save ourselves. Our sins must be forgiven. A nation sins in the same way that an individual sins. “and will heal their land”–the healing is a result of humbling ourselves, coming into agreement with God and seeking His face. A sick and broken nation is a nation of sick and broken individuals. Many of these individuals have never heard of the Father’s love, of His provision, of Jesus Christ coming to wash away their sin and heal their broken hearts. "they have no way of repenting for the nation because they do not know how to repent for themselves. The time for that to change is now.
