Read 2 Samuel 21:1-14. King David well understood conditions and
principles that strongly pertained to the "Healing of the Land."

Three years of famine -- sent by God, not the devil -- got the full
attention of David. He no doubt sought counsel of God through Urim &
Thummim for an explanation.

God needed David's obedience to undo the sin of his predecessor, King
Saul. Saul in his zeal had broken the covenant made by Joshua with
the Gibeonites centuries earlier. Early in his rulership, Saul in his
zeal overlooked the importance of covenant, and broke this one by
killing Gibeonites in spite of Joshua's oath of protection through
covenant. David may or may not have been aware at the beginning, of
the breach of covenant with the Gibeonites on the part of Saul.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;" align="left">

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;" align="left">
But in the light of 3 years of famine, his research turned up this
breach. Immediately he sought out the Gibeonites and asked, "What
can I do for you, that you might forgive this breach, so that God can
once again bring favor upon the land?" The Gibeonites answered
David that they held nothing against him personally, but that if he
provided 7 sons of Saul for them to execute -- then he would be free
from their enmity towards Saul, and God would be free to once again
bless the land.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;" align="left">
David immediately complied with their request. The closing word to
this account was: <b>"And </b><u><b>after that</b></u><b> God was
entreated for the land" </b>(2 Samuel 21:14b).</p>

May the lessons from this account sink deeply into our ears and
heart. Consider the judgment on <u>our land</u> because of abortions,
crime, drugs, injustice, godlessness -- through judges, people,
"women's lib" movements, etc. They hold God's teaching on this
subject lightly -- <u>God does not!</u> Our land <u>desperately</u>
needs to have wrongs made right, just as Northern Alberta in 1987
required repentance, apology and request for forgiveness from the
First Nations People of Hobbema following the death of one of their
men in Wetaskiwin a decade earlier.</p>

<u>AND WHAT OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGEL?</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
Dr. Kenneth McAll in his book "Healing the Family Tree" recounts
an experience of his wife and himself, that etched itself indelibly
upon his memory. They were traveling together by ship to the West
Indies, where he as a psychiatrist and expert in the "Healing of
the land," was journeying to fulfill a speaking conference.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">The captain informed the
passengers: "We have a choice facing us. To get to our destination
in the West Indies, we can save 2 days by going through the Bermuda
Triangle -- or we can go around it. If there is even one passenger
who feels skittish concerning the first option -- we will take the
extra 2 days by going around."</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Unanimously the passengers
replied, "Captain, if you feel okay about going through the
Triangle, we trust you and your judgment, and will go along with
you."</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">However, part way through the
Bermuda Triangle, the ship's boiler blew up, and could easily have
sent them all down to Davy Jones' Locker. But the boiler had repair
possibilities, and the crew set to it. As they did, Mrs. McAll asked
her husband, "Why are the workmen singing those dirges?" He
responded, "I'll go and see."</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">When he inquired of the crew,
they replied: "O -- you've heard it too!" The crew was not
singing dirges, yet all distinctly heard something.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">They completed the repairs, and
the ship made its destination. Following the conference the McAlls
returned to England. But Dr. McAll couldn't get the above event out
of his mind. So he visited London and did research concerning the
Bermuda Triangle. He discovered it was on the direct route from
Africa to America for the slave ships of some time ago. These were
sailing ships in those days, and depended on good winds -- but became
becalmed for days in the Sargasso Sea, adjacent to the Bermuda
Triangle. Many of the slaves aboard died there, and their bodies
thrown overboard for generations during that period of time -- to the
tune of 2 million souls! It was those abused souls by their own
people, Moslem traders and white slavers -- to whom they were crying
out and overheard by the McAlls!</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Dr. McAll immediately arranged
for 12 intercessory prayer groups to meet throughout England, Wales,
Ireland and Scotland. The groups would write out the sins of those
involved in the slave-trade including Great Britain. William
Wilberforce was eventually a great voice in ending Britain's
participation in the slave trade, even before our nation of America.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">These 12 intercessory groups
placed the listing of the sins of their people (much like Daniel did
in Daniel chapter 9) upon the communion table. At the time of the
Eucharist (Dr. McAll was Anglican), they like Daniel confessed the
sins of their people and asked forgiveness on behalf of the land and
the Bermuda Triangle -- on the basis of the Atoning, Finished work of
Christ at Calvary.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Suddenly all 12 home meetings
contacted Dr. McAll at approximately the same time. God had spoken to
all 12 and proclaimed forgiveness of the Slavers, and healing of the
Bermuda Triangle. Up to that time -- 100's of ships had disappeared
without trace or explanation. Many planes suffered the same fate. But
from the date the 12 Intercessory prayer groups heard from God, not
another ship or plane disappeared in the region of the Bermuda
Triangle.</span></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Billy Graham wrote a 4-5 page
account of this in one of his books on Prayer.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">In conclusion -- putting these
two events alongside of the 1987 "healing of the land" of
Northern Alberta; and we have proof that </span><u>wrongs can</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
affect the land. God's judgment may fall on land where transgression
has been committed. A Daniel 9 approach can work miracles. In
Daniel's case it brought restoration of Israel to their land after 70
years of captivity. The above 3 cases are also quite spectacular.</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">Daniel records the healing of the
land of Hawaii in 100 locations in 6 of the islands where human
sacrifice and idolatry took place. Invaders 800 years ago perpetrated
this. The land was healed 10 years ago through much the same type of
action as that taken by Dr. McAll for the Bermuda Triangle.</span></p>
