Paul tells us to have the same attitude as Jesus. What was that attitude? To empty Himself of the glory He rightly owned and deserved, and to humble Himself to become what He wasn't and endure what He shouldn't. That's what we should be like. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

God's promise to heal the land in this passage translates to the Church of Jesus today. God will heal His church. However, He won't just heal it when believers pray, but when believers 1) humble themselves, 2) pray, 3) seek His face, and 4) repent. Until all conditions are met, we can expect no healing. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA
