2Laying the Groundwork for a successful Christian Life, uses 2 Chronicles 7: 14 to: Bring you off the Playground. Take you to the Training Ground. Lead you to Common Ground. Prepare you for the Battle Ground. Position you to be seen from Higher Ground. Give you the confidence on the Proving Ground. And plant your feet on Solid Ground. 2 Chronicle 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." This is a call from God for his people to get our priorities properly in line with him. We learn in this book that this is an Individual call for a group purpose. When God says, "If my people who are called by my name," the group cannot answer. It is an individual answer that is up to you and me to follow. The group cannot follow each level. Only an individual can follow each level, but when each person follows the level successfully, it then positively affects the group (The Church). I pray that you will use this book to receive the forgiveness of your sin and the healing of your land that is promised to those who obey God's word Rev Dr. Jimmie Hicks, Jr. is the founder and senior pastor at Start Right Church of God in Christ in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, founder and Executive director of Start Right Community Development Corp, chaplain of the Cleveland Height Police Dept and author of The Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Life.
