There is little doubt that our nation is at a crossroads. The key to blessing and positive change has always been to see God work.

However, God works on behalf of his children when they are pleasing in His sight and are obeying His principles as found in the Bible. Right now, the most important thing is for believers to get in a position where God wants to bless His people – or He will let them be overcome with undesirable circumstances.

II Chronicles 7:14 still holds the key to the revival needed. The verse says: “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.”

Even though revival comes from God, His people need to be able to receive it. It requires four things: 1. humbling ourselves, 2. praying, 3. seeking Him – not merely going through the motions, and 4. turning from sin.

In the Bible, when people got serious with God, He was ready to do His part and bring revival. A lack of seriousness will fail to do the job. Believers need to be confessing, surrendering to His will, and doing His will. Revival only comes when His people spend considerable time in prayer and Bible reading.

God does not significantly bless those who do not spend much time with Him. Christian, are you willing to do what is required – or are you too busy?
