Scripture –
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer
and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
"If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the
locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,
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.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.
"For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
2 Chronicles 7: 12-16
