An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
June 9
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYIf 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. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
This verse reveals the great recipe for revival. This recipe has worked successfully for thousands of years and it will still work today. Four things are required of us: (1) humble ourselves, (2) pray, (3) seek God’s face, and (4) turn from our wicked ways. When an individual, a church or a nation meets these requirements the Lord will hear from Heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land. I have been blessed to experience some unusually great local revivals. I have seen churches and communities moved by the mighty power of God and changed forever by revival fires that swept through them. I wish that all America could experience an old fashioned, Spirit filled, God’s glorifying, sin killing revival. We need revival today – in our hearts, in our homes, in our churches, and in America! Are you willing to pay the price for a genuine revival? ~~~
