2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
God gave Solomon a 3-fold conditional promise of what He would do in response to people meeting His conditions. This section will examine the 3-promises in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
- I will Hear from heaven
God knows everything we think, say and do. So, God hears all prayers in the sense that He knows everything anyone asks of Him. The word, “hear,” does not refer to the physical sense of hearing. It means to listen, pay attention, and give heed to what someone is saying.
- Forgive Sin
Sin is any disobedience to God’s revealed will. For Israel, that meant any failure to obey God’s commands given through Moses. God then promised to forgive every sin.
- Heal their land🏞️🌴
In the context of God’s promise to Solomon in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “their land” refers to the promised land of God’s chosen people Israel.
The word “heal” in this verse refers to God restoring His favor to the Children of Israel, by removing the consequences of their backsliding and returning peace and prosperity within their Promised Land.
When sin is confessed and forsaken, God promises to bestow forgiveness and favor upon His repentant people. When a people turn from their sin, He will remove the chastisement He has brought upon their land.
Pray
If you know you are living in any type of sin that separates you from God, start praying and telling God you abandon that sin. (Pray)
Amen 💓
