Week 12 “Heal Our Land”

Our land of healing is secure in Jesus Christ. He fulfills God’s plan to forgive our sins and heal our land.

In this series, we will start 2021 with intercession for Healing, The Church, and Culture. This series will explore what the Bible says about (1) humbling ourselves before God, (2) praying, (3) seeking His face, and (4) turning from wicked ways.

if 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 and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV), emphasis added
Read it in context, 2 Chronicles 7:11-18

In this message, we learn how to bring healing to polarized political conversations and attitude towards those in authority.

Healing the Third Way

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. ¹⁶And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. ¹⁷Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

¹⁸But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? ¹⁹Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. ²⁰And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

²¹They said, “Caesar’s.”

Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²²When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.
Matthew 22:15-22 (ESV)

How to Find the Third Way

Navigating Political Conversations (2 Timothy 2:22-26)
Render to Caesar, Render to God (Matthew 22:15-22)
Submit to Those in Authority (Romans 13:1-5; 1 Peter 2:13-16; 1 Cor 2:8; Daniel 6; Matthew 4; Acts 4:19, 5:28; 1 Peter 4:15-16)
Pray for Those in Authority (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, ²for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. ³This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁵For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 (ESV)

How to Pray

Pray that they would have wisdom.
Pray that they would have discernment.
Pray that they would be instruments of God.
Pray for the elections of godly people (and the removal of ungodly).
Pray with a heart of thanksgiving.
Pray God’s Will to be done.

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need

How to be Salt & Light at School & Work

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV)

S.A.L.T.

S = Start a conversation
A = Ask Questions
L = Listen for Understanding/Empathy

- Listen to the Holy Spirit
T = Tell/Talk about You & Jesus

As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.”
Matthew 9:9 (ESV)
