Will there be an end time revival? This is asked so often, but the typical response is, "Well, we have the info, the formula in the Bible." Then this passage is quoted, "(2Chr 7:14 If My people who have been called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
This is OK except when the passage is taught, humbling themselves, praying, and seeking is emphasized.
One thing is missing: "...turn from their wicked ways."
For example, a brother in our Lord Jesus writes:
How interested are we in praying to the Lord and truly worshipping His Holy Name?
How interested are we in growing in God's truth and knowing Him deeply?
How interested are we in gaining a greater knowlege and understanding of His Word?
And just how interested are we in sharing those precious things with the dying world around us?
No mention of turning from out wicked ways. He simply forgot to add this. If it was to be pointed out, I'm sure he would agree.
So to be added to the above list must be: "How interested are we in turning from out wicked ways?"
What is wicked is something defined by God himself, not us.
