But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.    I Peter2:9 NKJV

If my 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.  II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV 

Other Scriptures References: I Samuel 9:6, Proverbs 14:4 

The Presidential Prayer Team was established during President George Bush’s 1st Term.  Since becoming a member of the team back then, the members have been charged with praying for the President, from Presidential initiatives to national and international matters.  But how many of us know that real, meaningful, everlasting change takes place in the hearts of mankind, and will only come in the way that God has pre-ordained? 

God’s plan to use His chosen people as an equipment for the healing of the nations during the Biblical times, is just as  crucial and prevalent today.  God’s remedy for the healing of our nation is found in His word; which  is the same word He gave to the people way back when He first spoke the word we find in, II Chronicle 7:14 NKJV,”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.”  ( some, might say when he said My people, He was talking about the Jews) Yes, but in this Nation today, since being adopted through the blood of Jesus, we too are His own people, thereby being his equipment to bring about change in the hearts of mankind through His word.  

There are so many hurting people in this Nation, whose hope rests upon President Obama. It  is so crucial for them to understand that as hard as President Obama may try, he can not deliver this sin sick Nation from the problems that have so easily entangled it.  If righteousness exalted a nation and sin is a reproach to any people (Proverb 14:4), then it prompts me to believe that divine intervention is required  for our Nation.  And if divine intervention is required, God tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, before God will act on behalf of the nation, God’s own people must first humble ourselves, and pray and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways;  and only then will He hear from heaven and will forgive our sin and heal our land.

Those who choose to live upright and operate in right standing with God,  are given the favor of God and God’s authority and power over all demons and to cure all diseases (Luke 9:1-3).  

God’s own people are different from the world; we are about God’s business in every area of  our lives; we understand our purpose is to proclaim the praises of God and His righteousness.  And we are known by our seeds, God’s favor and His righteousness  which abides within us.  Amen? 

In the name of Jesus, I speak this word over the Body  of Christ, We are the Equipment of God For a dying and perverse nation.   But God! sees plenty  wrong and He is still looking to His own people to sell out ourselves completely to Him; in order that He may activate the supernatural power , authority and His righteousness that He has already placed in us to exalt the Nation.
