2 Chronicles 7:14
[14] 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.
I do not think it is too much to expect that if we would obey God, He will come through for us. God is not slack concerning His promises. I believe, if we obey 2 Chronicles 7:14 (the inspired word of God), that God would fulfil his promise. Although we look around and see this city of Canberra as being “sin sick,” the Bible promises us that if we obey some simple guidelines, God will heal our land. Another promise in the Bible says “But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Romans 5:20).
There is no greater mission field than this city of Canberra. Why can’t we have Canberra for Jesus!
In the scripture and the history of the Church, God rarely bestowed spiritual blessing or increase to anyone until He first found them on their knees, or until God brought them there, in humility and submission to His will. The cry of Evan Roberts exhibits this kind of humility and submission. Sometimes we become so “stiff” and “rigid” and “set in our ways” that we become no use to God. Bend us Lord! In humbling ourselves we become a Revival Vessel that God can use. That's my 5 minutes!
