True words have chariot wheels.
I mentioned in a recent blog post that the remedy for this villainous Coronavirus was 1 Chronicles 7:14.
I mentioned in a recent blog post that the remedy for this villainous Coronavirus was 1 Chronicles 7:14.
"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."
When sincere humility prays and truly seeks God's will, it takes action. It "turns from it's wicked ways".
Prayer, without humility and a holy desire for God's perfect will, is empty of power and incapable of discovering remedial action or God's direction. Words alone, without action, are like dry seed pods rattling in the wind.
As Joseph, rescuer of his nation, Israel, and vice pharaoh of Egypt, warned his brothers, "Your words must be proved" and "let it be according to your words". Let your words "BE" true.
As important as our words are, what we are thinking when we say them, or pray them, is far more important. King David prayed "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord ...." Ps.19:14. It's the quality of the meditation which gives birth, life and quality to the words.
So much of what is said has no life... or is not reality ... or what was honestly thought, and results in fetid bogs of leaches, snakes, frogs and fever. Often called a swamp.
The word, "repent" and "repentance", in both the Hebrew and Greek, means "a change of heart, to turn around, go in a different direction with a different mindset, a "converted heart". If our words don't match our hearts and our actions, they are empty and vain. To say "I'm sorry" or "Lord I repent", if that isn't in our heart is false repentance.
Where there is no humility and sincerity, there is no spirituality .... or answered prayer. Repentance and revival are free ... but require action. There is a door which must be open for God to come in and for us to go through, with Him, to service.
Lord, please deliver us from this plague. I ask it in the name of and because of what Jesus did on that cross.
