1.24-How do we seek God's Face?
1.24-
One nation.
One nation.
One nation.
Under God.
Under God.
Under God.
One nation.
One nation.
One nation.
Under God.
Under God.
Under God.
2 Chronicles 7.14.
14 and My people [d]who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
This was written about Israel in the Old Testament. In my opinion America is not the same as Israel but any nation that is as divided as deeply and radically as our own is can be in dangerous situation.
Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand.
A family divided cannot stand.
A congregation divided into a constant thought pattern of "Us" versus "Them" is in a dangerous place.
According to Jesus there is only one Flock of His Sheep.
Please pray for the healing of our nation.
Let us be merciful as our Father is merciful.
Luke 6.
27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who [o]mistreat you. 29 Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your [p]coat, do not withhold your [q]shirt from him either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31 [r]Treat others the same way you want [s]them to treat you. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, [t]expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 36 [u]Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
