But millions of Christians have prayed this prayer. They wanted their nation to turn back to God.
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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
God must have heard our prayers. I guess the prayers didn’t matter all that much.
[But millions of Christians have prayed this prayer. They wanted their nation to turn back to God.]
CHRISTIANS are big on praying 2 CHRONICLES 7:14, but they tend to overlook the part that says “turn from their wicked ways.”
Ten years ago, in December 2007, when my father was in the hospital dying, a doctor told me “Sometimes God says no.”
The doctor said that his mother gave him a poster when he was a teenager which said just that.
Nah-- He gives people free will too. When He led the Israelite's out of Egypt with multiple miracles what did they do but build and worship a golden calf. Nothing new as many citizens would rather have the golden calf as well.
And there are millions of god-less americans out there as well supporting evil, whether they understand it or have allowed themselves to be deceived.
Prayers for the conversion of these people is something that is much needed. The devil is still strong in these people and has caused this stumble but there is no doubt, ultimately God is still in control. I feel bad for our Freepers from Alabama but Alabama will get the political leader they deserve. Hopefully this deception can be fixed in the next election.
