Remember the "IF-THEN" Equation?

CAN WE TAKE CARE OF THE "IF" SIDE OF THE EQUATION? 
IF WE DO, GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THE "THEN" SIDE!

Our young church is preparing ourselves as individuals, families, and as a church for prayer, we look at 2 Chronicles chapter 7 for a friendly reminder in verse 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Be Specific:  This is an answer from God to Solomon because of his prayer request in chapter 6.  Read it and see how specific Solomon was with this request.  God answered him back with specifics.

Know Your Identity: God's own people can and may turn away for Him and His ways.  He's allowing us another chance because of His great love and mercy to come back.  Know we are His chosen generation. Know we are the temple of the living God.  His glory needs to fill our lives!

Proactive Humility: Before God humbles us forcefully, he's giving us a chance to humble ourselves voluntarily.  Oh and another thing, we don't have to showcase our humility.  Let our hearts and minds be humble and submitted to the will of God.  He will raise us up in due time.  But He might not, until we are completely in His will.  Take care of our internal and God will take care of the external.

Take Initiative: We must pray and seek after God.  He's challenging us to make a move!  Are we desperate enough to do it?  Are we hurt enough to be taken care of by a loving God?  Go hard after Him.  As we get closer to Him, He will get closer to us!

Dead End: If we are on the road of wickedness, we are on a dead end road!  Our life and soul will be dead physically and spiritually.  We get a chance to turn back to Him.  Will we take advantage of another chance? Or will it be too late and we run over the cliff or into the brick wall with no turning back?

Get His Attention: We can get God's attention with our prayers.  Are you ready to see God's power in your life?  Is there something or someone that needs to experience the presence of God, forgiveness of sins, a healing in your body, family, relationships, emotions, finances, career, etc...!  Revival is coming to the people and to this community!

Enjoy The Ride,
