Chapter 7: Interceding for revival.
Text 2 Chronicles 7:14

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.

This is a promise made to Israel as a nation concerning their land. However, there are spiritual principles here which apply to anyone anywhere, to us as individuals or as groups of believers. To experience answered prayer, forgiveness of sins, and revival of spiritual life three things are required
1) humbling ourselves
James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says,
God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.
2) seeking God’s face.
Psalms 27:8 When you said,
“Seek my face”,
my heart said to you,
“Your face, LORD, I will seek”.
God tells us to seek Him because He wants to reveal Himself to those who seek, and He wants them to know that He is the source of all good.
3) True repentance
For healing of a whole land, national humility and repentance and seeking God were required.
We can not say we are craving for repentance and we can’t avoid iniquity, and we are full of pride and we can’t even seek the face of God. For True revival to before our nations we must follow the three principles keenly.
