I have always been interested in this verse. It just intrigues me as to the meaning. It says so much within this one verse. I've found a person who shared a breakdown of this verse that her pastor gave his parishioners. The breakdown is from a Pastor Kerry, of whom I do not know, nor do I know where he is located, or what church. I do appreciate the breakdown, in depth explanation of this verse and wanted to share it.
The verse reads: ".. if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
The expanded version: " If my flock, who are known by my character, will humiliate themselves and voice their requests for my will in their lives and beg my favor and presence and weep and slide back from their miserable attitudes, then will I carefully listen and certainly consider from my lofty position and will pardon, release, and spare their habitual sinning and will revive, renew, and make everything new again in their earth, nation and community, homes and hearts.
I really appreciate this expanded version. I think it explains what is meant here.
May God Bless America. ~
