We are the land...The parable of the seed in different types of earth...That is us. Just as the "seed" is the word of God.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done IN earth, as it is in heaven. Notice IN not ON.
The promise of our inheritance is our healing.
2Cor 4:7 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us". Lamentation 4:2
"The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter"
When Jesus died, he gave us life. How much more healing would you want?

We will be far, far more fruitful if we spend more time with people, sharing the Gospel of Grace (Christ wants to live in you) and demonstrating His goodness, since it is His goodness that causes people to repent and brings healing into the “land” of human hearts. (Rom. 2:24)
The promise of 2 Chron. 7:14 has already been fulfilled in Christ. God has fulfilled His own promise through His own Son by bringing His Kingdom into human hearts; and promising that His Kingdom will one day rule over all the earth. Now, anyone who receives Him as king, receives the healing of 2 Chron. 7:14. We are His Kingdom, we are His land.

I really learn a very big lesson from this chapter.
leslie's comment on 2013-03-19 00:16:35:
God have laid on my heart to reach all believers to start praying for our world. We have stopped praying; it is time know to pass it on, so that we begin each day with taking five or ten minutes a day and pray to our father in heaven. He will heal the land if you believe. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for nothing. I am getting ready to get people wearing t-shirts with this scripture on the back, 2 Chronicles 7:14. And prayer walks with different people and churches and on the front of the shirt; it will say pray. Put it on the back of your car make the call. God is out in front of us, and support us pray everyone that desires. It is for the believers and they that trust God.

The word means just what it said and it is self explanatory.

It takes a humble heart to have a good relationship with God whether as a person, group of people, community or a nation.

I believe that we also gain from the Old Testament. I feel that we can apply this scripture to the world today. If we look around at what's happening in the land today you can visibly see that the world is in great trouble and needs the prayers of the righteous to intercede for it. I feel that this scripture can be used to help us get back on the right track. Christians have to learn how to rightly divide the word, study and seek God for the truth regarding the scriptures.
MRS MACK's comment on 2012-11-17 00:58:57:
I think we are not humble because we do not fast and pray enough........furthermore there is too much division in the church....we are undefeated by our adversary when we work in unity.......the bible says the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong but to those that endure to the end...and our faith is fairly weak...to put it simply we have fallen out of love with the lord.....he did say if we love him we would obey his commandments.......and frankly today the reason why we don’t see signs and wonders is because we are in disobedience.........some of us need to go back to basic.
Silas Peprah's comment on 2012-10-29 05:10:45:
I think that if we truly do as God says to us through his word we as Christians on this earth will be the most happily lived people on this earth, but if we don't we will keep on suffering till the end of days.
Crystal C Simpson's comment on 2012-10-14 16:35:43:
I know that Mr. Clark is right because it is in scripture you have to also understand that a lot of the Bible and God’s disciples were taught to talk and speak in parables, we were non-existent in those times from who and what we call ourselves today but included because we were in those times considered gentiles. You would have to read the whole Bible NOT IN PART to make such strong comments of unbelief, point blank period have pure hearts of love as Jesus did, posses forgiveness as he did and turn away from worldly sin because it holds no place in the heavens you will not enter the kingdom. No one can make a person love God, that's also in the scripture and he tells us not to....let every man have his own desire to love me and do my will!!! I would love to see every man in heaven but he says it's like getting through the eye of a needle. Due to some of the above ways of thinking we cannot justify the word no matter how we try. God did not segregate our religion we did he is only concerned about our salvation of a second chance to get it right. We've messed up once let’s do better this time smart ones! My prayer is that all that are blind see the light and let not Satan fool you any longer! Amen

I feel that God’s word is meant just as it is read. He said if His people, I'm an American Christian so I have to believe it refers to my land. If God meant it for a certain land or country, I believe he would have said it.
Alice's comment on 2012-09-12 23:17:46:
I believe 2 Chron 7:14 was meant for the Jews of that time. All the people in America would have to humble themselves before God, for our land to be healed. Like Sodom & Gomorrah, too few believed to save her from her fate.
frances simpson's comment on 2012-07-18 10:56:48:
i believe no matter what the "experts" say, i believe if this nation would turn back to GOD HE WOULD HEAL OUR LAND.....

Clara's comment on 2012-02-07 00:18:16:
My sister Dina is asking prayers for Reijo, her husband. He has a serious liver disease. And has not been doing well at all. THe medication is also very strong and causes serious side effects. Dina is very busy with him, and she asked me to ask you for prayers.
We are very sad for him, and praying that he will recover. Sorry that I'm not writing more, my mind seems exhausted right now.
Thank you so much
with love
clara
Gene Boulware's comment on 2011-08-06 15:22:29:
I feel that this prayer was not only directed to the Israelites of that day, but to every person, every nation that has failed God and needs to be awakened to the fact that we do have a God who is aware of our sins, and that we all are in need of a closer relationship with Him
Ude Godspower's comment on 2011-07-09 13:44:03:
My people there means Those who are called Christian. The scripture referring to the believers who backslide to come back to God with humility,and He will heal their land, that is their doweling which includes everything they have. God is the one saying to Solomon.
B. Burns's comment on 2011-07-02 14:48:46:
America was founded on Christian principles and was done so to provide Christians freedom of worship without oppression. I along with most Christians, believe The United States of America is OUR LAND and it is necessary to take measures to protect it.
