2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which 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.
This verse was spoken to Solomon at the dedication of the Temple, but the impact has a lot to say to churches today. The very reason our country is in the shape it is is because of Christians not standing for what is right and letting a small group of people dictate to us what we can and cannot do.
if our churches or our nation is to survive, we will have to get back to "thus sayeth the Lord." We need REVIVAL!
This week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's latest call for a day of prayer is being met by a chorus of boos from critics who say the potential presidential candidate is showing favoritism toward Christianity and violating the separation of church and state.
Perry has ordered a day of prayer and fasting on Aug. 6 to "seek God's guidance and wisdom in addressing the challenges that face our communities, states and nation." It is part of what is being described as a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer meeting hosted by the American Family Association at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
Perry will participate in the all-day event that encourages people to bring a Bible and a notebook. Perry has invited every governor in the country to attend, and he is urging them to issue similar proclamations.
It would be nice if we had him as our president. We need to pray for our government that they will turn from their wicked ways and back to God.
