''God will not and cannot hear a single syllable of a prayer from any person who does not repent from his or her wicked ways. It is imperative to remain on the righteous path with God and to depart from iniquity.''
Last week I submitted an article entitled, “What Should We Do if We Don’t Fight Back?” The article encouraged readers to take close look at the consequences of not engaging at some level against a government administration that is set on completely transforming our free enterprise society in a socialistic state. America’s “leaders” have utterly shown their disdain for the Constitution and American citizens, who espouse its laws and principles. This is the present state of America and we all must take a position on it. Like it or not, we are being called to action. If we refuse to adhere to the very visible signs of a deteriorating country at the hands of radical Leftists, then we have no one but ourselves to blame.
One of my readers suggested that I expound on the issue on the premise of the biblical scripture that show God’s people to how to directly engage Him in this particular type of fight. By all means, I advocate this position, so consider this part two.
“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 I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14 (New King James Version)
Let’s take this step-by-step:
1. My people: Fist of all, one has to know without a shadow of a doubt that one is a child of God through salvation in Jesus Christ—and Him alone. This is imperative because if one wants to be heard by God, one has to be in His family. I realize that many people believe that just being patriotic Americans somehow qualifies them to God’s blessings and rights as His child; it most certainly does not. If you want an inheritance, you have to be part of the family. If you want to play on the team, you must play by the coach’s rules. God makes it perfectly clear as to how to obtain an audience with Him: become His child. He cannot hear the prayers of sinners, albeit, for the sinner’s prayer of repentance.
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12 http://www.newswithviews.com/Selena/owens104.htm
