In these unprecedented times, our nation needs restoration. I do not want us to miss what God says we can do to heal our land. The Bible speaks of a promise God gave to His people, which can help us restore our nation today.
II Chronicles 7:13-14 says, “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
The United States of America needs healing. Our nation is, at this moment, broken beyond human remedy. We must have a new American Revolution—a spiritual reformation and revival—to turn this ship around.
This promise in II Chronicles 7 was given to the people of Israel after a time of limited judgment from God when they needed national renewal. Throughout history, Israel went into captivity or was invaded by foreign nations because their hearts turned away from the one true God to worship the pagan gods of the cultures around them. God provided a remedy: If they would humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, He would forgive them and heal their land.
This instruction was given to Solomon during perhaps the highest point of success in Israel’s history—the completion of the temple. After the Lord displayed His glory in the temple, He warned Solomon: “when I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people.” Notice God’s warning was not if but when.
When a nation that once feared or believed in the God of Israel reaches a low point, there is always a solution. God said, “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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Notice “then” doesn’t happen until God’s people fulfill the “if.” I believe God is calling us to a greater fulfillment of all the conditions in this verse. This means He will start answering prayer, forgive, bring revival, and heal our land.
We need God to heal our land. Money will not heal our land. Not even the right politicians can heal our land. We must be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (see Matthew 10:16) to rely on the One who can. We need revolution, reformation, renewal, and revival.
Viruses, droughts, food shortages, inflation, gender confusion, perversion, weak leadership, cancel culture, broken family structures, gun violence, and declining morals—these are just some of the things plaguing our nation. We need God to answer from on high and help us with these issues. If America ever loses its Christian foundation or is no longer a predominantly moral and religious people, the only thing that will keep our people under control is a totalitarian government.
The problems we face can only be overcome with God’s help. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” This is why we must pray and stand up for biblical values. Don’t be afraid to tackle the tough issues. Speak the truth in love. Don’t let woke cancel culture cause you to leave the conversation. Know your history, know your Constitution, know your rights, and don’t back down. God is not done with America. God can and will heal our land. If we do our part, God will do His part.
