If My People...

If My People…

“..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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14

We are sure after the events that unfolded Wednesday in our nation’s Capital and at other state houses around the country, you have been left with a myriad of questions and emotions. Mainly - Why? How? And simply, the answer is this: This is not about politics. What we witnessed this week was, and is, the reaping of the seeds of division that the enemy has been allowed to sow for too long. It played out on a global stage because the Church has embraced the ways of man more than the ways of God. We have continued to do exactly what the Lord was cautioning Solomon against in 2 Chronicles 7.

But, praise God, there IS hope. Hope in the promises of God that if we will humble ourselves in prayer, and seek His face with our hearts - turning away from our evil ways - change can and will happen. But it starts with us individually and then corporately.

For a 24-hour period beginning next Wednesday, January 13, at 7pm with our online Midweek Worship time, we are calling on our church family to pray - to humble ourselves before the throne of Heaven and seek God in prayer. How this will work is you can sign up online for a one (1) hour block of time during the 24-hour period, and you will pray in your home at your assigned time using the provided prompts (available beginning this Sunday, January 10). Pastor Jeff will then wrap up the 24-hour prayer vigil online at 7pm on Thursday, January 14.

Now more than ever, let us come together to “rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; [and] be persistent in prayer.” (Romans 12:12)

In His Name,

Your WEBC Staff
