Hello Everyone,
( A.W. Tozer said, "If we yearned after God even as much as a cow yearns for her calf, we would be the worshiping and effective believers God wants us to be. If we longed for God as a bride looks forward to the return of her husband, we would be a far greater force for God than we are now.")
May the people of God once again fall in love with God to the point that He becomes the focus and the driving force of all of life!
2 Chronicles 7:14 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.
Lastly in this verse we A Call To Purity - Repentance - The phrase "turn from their wicked ways" is self-explanatory! God wants His people to stop their sinning! We are to examine our lives, identify anything that does not please the Lord or line up with His Word, and we are to eliminate that from our lives!
Ezek 18:31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? NIV
For revival to take place we must be practicing repentance at every level.
Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. NIV
That is, the first step in getting right with God!
(This was the command to the church at Ephesus, Rev. 2:1-7, and it is still God's will for you and me today!)
Oh How HE Loves Us!
Pastor Phil
