REVIVAL TIME? IT STARTS IN YOUR HOME!
"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." 2 Chronicles 7:14
When people turn their backs on God's given rules, ask yourself, "Are they are on the path to wicked ways?"
One simple rule, "Do not covet." for example. Celebrate what others have earned, not want to take it away from them for yourself. If you might want it for yourself, you might be inclined to ignore another simple rule, "Do not lie." Indeed, ask if you see evidence of this around you. Inflated resumes, political promises, etc. Worse yet, ask if that might lead to acceptance of stealing (taking from another what is theirs for yourself or to use for your intents), which is to ignore another simple rule, "Do not steal." Of course, if your inclination is to covet the spouse of another, and you do not realize the folly of that mindset, the first three rules just discussed are meaningless to you, and you might want to ask, "Are my ways wicked?" I do not intend to judge you with these questions, but just want you to think for yourself instead of letting others influence you and think for you.
Pray for wisdom from God, and as you seek it, consider this: The Holy Bible records His words through the prophets and his son, Jesus Christ. so last question, "Have you actually read the entire Bible, from cover to cover?" My last question of you, "Why not?"
