2Chronicles 7, IF my people “IF”

2Ch 7:12, Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYER, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

GOD heard Solomon’s prayer 2Chr 6:12-42

2Ch 7:13-14, 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.

IF, MY PEOPLE!  Not only the Jewish nation, but also believers of the MOST HGH GOD! Solomon included the foreigner in his prayer (2Chr 6:32-33), “concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel”

Will HUMBLE themselves, PRAY and SEEK MY FACE and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS

Jesus has given us an example to follow! FOR HE, BEING GOD, HUMBLED HIMSELF AS AN EXAMPLE FOR US. HE PRAYED IN THE GARDEN AND SOUGHT HIS FATHERS FACE! THAT WE MAY TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS AND FOLLOW HIM!

Php 2:7, BUT MADE HIMSELF of no reputation, TAKING THE FORM OF A BONDSERVANT, AND COMING IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN. 

2Ch 7:15, Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 

SEEK THE LORD AND PRAY; FOR HE IS ALWAYS LISTENING TO THE PRAYERS OF HIS SAINTS! NOT THAT WE DESERVE IT, BUT THAT HE HAS FORGIVEN US BECAUSE OF HIS SON!
