"The only turning in the world that is saving and Divine is the turning of the heart." (The Biblical Illustrator)
When troubles arise, the Church knows what she is to do - "humble herself," "pray and seek God's face," and "turn from her wicked ways."
Many have no problem with "praying" and
"seeking God's face."
It is the "turning from their wicked ways" that poses the problem.
Yet, if the conditions are not met, the promise will not be realized.
"If" the Church does her part, "then" God will do His.
"If' ... "then"
Throughout the Scriptures, you will find that man cannot "turn" himself back to God.
He needs God's enabling grace.
That is why the Church is continually exhorted in God's Word to pray unto the LORD - "...turn Thou me, and I shall be turned..." (Jeremiah 31:18)
Here is my new Bible video.
Be sure to share it with your family and friends.
May God Bless His Word,

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. (Isaiah 54:17)
