RAISE THE STANDARD!


2 Chronicles 7:14-15 says, If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. 

1. Humble- make lower; James 4:6, He gives grace to the humble, but rejects the proud. 

2. Pray- James 5:16 , the earnest and fervent heartfelt prayers of a righteous man makes tremendous power available and dynamic in its working. 

3. Seek My Face- to reach for; James 4:8, Come close to God and He will come close to you. God is waiting on us, we're not waiting on Him. Our heart and will must be yielded and broken to God . Not asking but seeking. 

4. Turn from our wicked ways- a change of mind, then a change of purpose; a taking off of the old and a putting on of the new (Colossians 3:8). A fresh start, forgetting what is behind and pressing ahead. 


In Christ,

Chris Jacobs
