The recipe for revival

with us. (John 14:23-29; Revelation 3:20). Solomon, (just like Nehemiah 1:6), took responsibility for sins against God. His words of a repentant heart and for the nation mirrored that of Nehemiah.
Nehemiah used the word "beseech" and Solomon appealed to God’s attentive hearing. (2 Chronicles 6:23,25,27,30,35,39). The purpose for Solomon building this house was so people could come to meet God.
This place was built for confession of sins, personal and national sins. Why? Because sin is always destructive. It will destroy you individually and will destroy a nation. Forgiveness is necessary to save you from the inherent destruction that sin brings.
This was a house where truth can be revealed and hearts can be set free. (John 8:31-36). As Solomon finished praying, what do you suppose was the next event that took place? God certainly responded.
God sent his Holy fire of approval. His glory filled the entire place. This was a sign of God's stamp of blessing upon the temple. Our nation could have this same blessing if we turn away from senseless evil acts.
The people with Solomon responded by bowing their faces to the ground and worshipping and praising God, saying "He is good and his mercy endures forever!" How do we respond when Christianity is spoken in our streets?
We would rather love the evil angry acts of protest along with burning and destroying property, going inside churches without any reference towards God. Attacking laws instituted by God. We would rather shutdown loving discussions.
But God always approves of the heart that earnestly seeks him. (James 5:16; Psalm 51:17). After Solomon and the people were done, the celebration lasted for eight days. In verse 13 of 2 Chronicles chapter 7, God continues to respond.
[Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, forest fires, floods are events that are generally looked at as natural disasters, which they are, but God allows them in order to get our attention. You might call them "Wake-up calls."]
🗣📢 Last words: What do you it might take to wake up a nation? When 9/11 happened everybody, it seemed were aware of evil attacking us. But soon after, we lapsed back into our sleep of sin and death. We took on the nickname of Las Vegas.
Today, the thought of God are openly ridiculed daily on radio and T.V. We've seen the assassination of an individual just because he dared to disagree with the masses. People are being put in prison just for praying outside abortion clinics.
In our last key verse (2 Chronicles 7:14), we see four things the people must do. With God, there is always a contract of obedience and acceptance. "If you do this, I'll do... We cannot treat Jesus like he is a silent ATM machine.
These four things apply to our nation in 2026.
♡ Humble ourselves. Shouldn't we all like humble pie? (James 4:8-11; 1 Peter 5:4-9).
♡ Prayer. Prayer is the key that allows God to open the door of our dilemma. The word pray means to intreat, make supplication. To intercede, intervene, or interpose, (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6:18-19; Colossians 1:3-5).
♡ Seek his face. Love him above all others by seeking him first in your life. (Psalm 27:8-10; 34:10; 105:4; Proverbs 28:5; Isaiah 55:6; Acts 17:27; Matthew 6:33). We cannot hear God speak back if we are building a wall of self-deception.
♡ Turn from our wicked ways. That's a 180 degree turn, not a 360 degree turn. The cross before me, the world behind me. (Ezekiel 18:21-23; Isaiah 55:7-9; Acts 3:12-21). God desires to forgive and heal those who turn back to him.
Here's God's side of his loving covenant hearts attached promise to us.
💞 He will hear from heaven. The Lord is quick to hear his redeemed sheep. God sets his special attention and affection on a person or people in order to distinguish them. He hears the godly. (Psalm 4:1-3; 30:8; 66:18; 77:1).
💞 Forgive our sin. When we turn (180 degree) from sin, God restores his fellowship with us. To have a relationship with God if you are not a born-again believer, repent turn to God, and confess your sins to him.
The blood of Jesus washes away our sin’s past, present, and future. To maintain fellowship with God if we transgress, we must seek his loving forgiveness. (1 John 1:7-9; Psalm 51:2-5; Proverbs 28:13-15; Isaiah 43:25).
💞 Heal their land. God loves to bless our land flowing with milk and honey. He rejoices in keeping us free from things that rot the land. Sin makes our land look ugly. (Exodus 3:17-18; 20:5-8; Psalm 27:13; Deuteronomy 8:7-10).
How many of you would love to see our nations local and national leaders be at peace with one another? Does it seem like the divide is getting wider? Do the politics look like a large piece of land divided by one large mass earthquake?
Does it seem like the religions, false and truth are being coerced and forced into one nation large melting pot? How can you tell the difference between Christianity and Satan's counterfeit religions that are in the pot?
Do you believe there is a new world order on the horizon? Is cashless currency just around the corner? The penny was first. It's also a way for Satan's influence to remove the currency we've all seen, "In God we trust."
When's the last time you read those words on your currency? Does our nation really trust God? Do we need a spiritual awakening in our nation today? Are our children and women being mishandled and hurt daily?
When the people of Israel rejected God in the Old Testament, the people paid a heavy price. They even allowed the land to stink because of disobedience. When many rejected Jesus in the New Testament, he spoke these words.
37} "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38} Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39} For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." (Matthew 23:37-39 KJV).
If we desire to see our children understand how much God loves them as he created them (male and female), since God is perfect, Satan is the one at fault for confused gender misunderstanding.
If we desire to begin to see healing on our nation, then Jesus is the one we should turn too. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, meaning that your understanding of information should first pass through the Bible.
Since God is omniscient, he has all knowledge you can respect. You can trust in the accuracy and authority of his word. Depending on God is understanding who God is and who we are. God is the creator; we are the clay.
He is the sustainer of all things pertaining to your life. He takes care of this whole planet. Climate change fear mongers should be more focused on living after they leave this planet. They should read (Matthew 16:26).
They might want to read (Psalm 62:8). You see beloved, depending on God is living with God as our constant refuge. He can take care of us better than anyone. He knows us inside and out, and we can depend on him.
Is your life miserable because you keep choosing the angry, mad at everything crowd, hating the United States, acting like a petulant child when things don't go your way? Is your life at a breaking point or turning point?
When you and our nation humbly seek the heart and mind of God, he will revive that soul and heal that nations decline. His love is great and never fails us (Lamentations 3:25-32). God promises salvation to all who accept it.
If you believe revival is possible, then cry out to God. Move your heart to tears in his presence for your community, county, city, state, and nation. Fervently pray for national and local leaders. Pray for officers, don't attack them.
Remember, God loves them also, just as he does you. Peace is better than conflict. Beloved, anyone who believes that Jesus died for their sins, then confesses those sins in sincerity will be saved from punishment they deserve.
Our gracious Lord will look at them as though they had never sinned and will give them eternal life with him. The unshakeable Kingdom of God has been promised to all who believe in him. This world is destined to fail.
But remember beloved, when Jesus was raised from the dead, he was victorious over the devil and his power because he demonstrated his own power over death. (John 11:25-26). Nothing in this world can defeat God's plan of salvation.
Jesus Christ is the permanent ruler of the whole world. The devil is only the temporary ruler of the part of the world that chooses to follow him. Did you get all of that? Who are you following today? Satan has already been defeated.
🎵 My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace, in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. 🎵
Let us not grow weary, but continue to seek his face, trusting that the same power that breaks chains and heals the brokenhearted is still at work today, preparing the soil for a fresh outpouring of his Spirit.
🛐 Here’s a prayer you can pray for fire to be filled in our dry dead bones. "Heavenly Father, thank you for calling us to a time of consecration with surrendered hearts. Lord, we need you throughout our land.
Lord, we pray for a spirit of true repentance, so we can turn away from our mistakes and turn toward you.
Help us to do more than just feel sorry, but to truly rely on your Holy Spirit to help us live holy lives.
Please help us change our thoughts, which lead to our attitudes and actions, and shape the whole direction of our lives. Help us to tear down the walls of pride and self-reliance that we’ve built. Please remove our anger.
Pour out your Spirit, so people across our nation will be moved to humble themselves before you, seek your face, and turn completely back to your righteous ways. We need your power to break up hard soil in our hearts.
Lord, forgive us for our sins. Raise up those with the spirit of Nehemiah to see the brokenness in our land and respond to all that hurt. Lord, send a revival to heal our land, let it begin with us on our knees.
Holy Spirit, turn our hearts back to God. We need you to set our children and young adults free. Jesus, we beseech you! Hear us Oh, Lord once again! Heal our land as only you can, working in the hearts and minds of everyone!
While the night may seem dark, Lord please send a new day of refreshing from your Spirit. Jesus, we are not awaiting a dead religion, but a living, breathing move of your power that will make all things new, Amen."
