Just what LAND is being spoken about?
2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
It would appear to be the Land of Israel.
Psalm 81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
A Further Look at what the Scripture says about the LAND!
MOSES told the Israelites …
Deuteronomy 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
IT APPEARS THE LAND BELONGS TO THE LORD GOD…
Judges 11:12-13 And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

Ezekiel 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Many today cite 2 Chronicles 7:14 as a promise to the Church. Although the application is there, this is a PROMISE to Israel. Believers DO NOT have a land in this world. Our home is in HEAVEN.
