If we spend any time listening or reading the news or what ever medium you use, we can see that our country is sick and ripe for healing. I once called a parent about her child cursing so much, and told her that, “he says that you curse all the time. She said, “I don’t care if I do curse, he knows that it is wrong.”

So, you see, it does not matter whether you blame it on the pandemic, the president, or for whatever you mention, you know that it is wrong. Let us make it clear, hiding behind a position or job will not give us a free get out of jail card. We are each responsible for our actions and our inactions.

Billy Graham said,” The great need in America is not for a new organization. Our need is not for more economic prosperity. Our great need is for a revival in which men and women will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways to the God of our fathers.” (Decision Magazine, 2015)

As you learn to talk to the Lord, you will discover the blessing of the Lord. Prayer will also result in God’s power to bring about change.  James said, “The prayer of a righteous man/woman is powerful and effective” (James 5:16).  We can not do it on our own power.

1&2 Chronicles is written to the Israelites, coming out of 70 years of captivity. It is written so they might realize their heirship, the promises made by God to and through the Patriarchs.

They may have been asking themselves, just as many are asking today, this morning, and years ago. “Has God forgotten us?” The answer to this question is that we have forgotten God. That question has already been answered. “I will never leave you nor forsake you”.

This is what God said to them/us, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will heal their land.”

Though this scripture was written some time ago, it still applies to us today. History repeats itself if its present is not changed. Revival will never come from an organization. It will never come from the District of Columbia, where people we have chosen, and continue to do so, seeking a different approach.
