Promise 61 from Exodus 23:25-26

Ex. 23:25-26 - "But you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from your midst. There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days." - These are incredible promises from God. The temptation for man, however is to read these and say, "But I know many faithful believers in Jesus who serve Him and yet have died too early from sickness or who have miscarried or are barren." We have a choice to make; God's will and desire and purposes are revealed to us in this passage. So are we going to choose to base our theology on what He says He will do, or are we going to base our theology on what we've seen happen or not happen? In 2 Chronicles 7:14 God says, "and my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Our land, referring to our western lands, are far from serving God and humbling themselves before Him. Our western lands are full of idols that take people's attention away from God. Sickness, barrenness, premature death are what happens in nations who refuse to humble themselves before God. When our statutes say that it is unlawful to mix church and state, unlawful to pray in schools or with patients in hospital, we are very far from fulfilling the criteria that God has set out for healing. Obviously God is bigger than what the evil king of the land is doing to separate us from Him. As His people , God's people, we must press in and stand on His promises. As individuals we must believe that He is and He is the rewarder of those who seek Him (Heb. 11:6) We must lay down those things that distract us and worship God's presence into our land. When we have societies for whom the majority of Christians only pick up the Bible on a Sunday morning and only sing worship songs for 20 minutes during once or twice on a Sunday in church, its no wonder our land is not healed. We need to live in great expectation of our Lord daily, we need to live in praise and worship of our God and King. We need to start our day, end it and live out all the parts in the middle as if everyday was a Sunday. We must give up the notion that we can do things on our own and in our own strength. Its no wonder the people of our nations have so much debt, worry, fear, sadness. Its time to turn back to Him to worship God and to see children birthed into His kingdom., He will bless our bread, nor more poverty, He will bless our water, no one will be spiritually dehydrated. There will be no more miscarriages, new believers will cling to their faith in God, there will be no more bareness, children of God will be popping up all over the place. We need to get on our knees and claim it back for God.
