If my people, who 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.
NOTE: The FIRST thing God’s people must do, as indicated in this verse, is WHAT?
It’s NOT “pray.”
It’s “HUMBLE THEMSELVES....”
Ah, here is our Achilles heel - this is the one thing most will not do.........
We conveniently leave that out and focus on “pray”, “seek My face” and “turn from their wicked ways.”
Sadly, the last 3 cannot really occur without the first - occurring first........
