Easy-to-Read Version
Hezekiah Prays to the Lord

14 Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers and read them. Then he went up to the Lord’s Temple and laid the letters out in front of the Lord.

15 Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, “Lord, God of Israel, you sit as King above the Cherub angels. You alone are the God who rules all the kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth.

16 Lord, please listen to me. Lord, open your eyes and look at this message. Hear the words that Sennacherib sent to insult the living God.

17 It is true, Lord. The kings of Assyria did destroy all those nations.

18 They did throw the gods of those nations into the fire. But they were not real gods. They were only wood and stone—statues that people made. That is why the kings of Assyria could destroy them.

19 But you are the Lord our God, so please save us from the king of Assyria. Then all the other nations will know that you, Lord, are the only God.”

God Answered Hezekiah

20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah. Isaiah said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: You prayed to me about the message that came from King Sennacherib of Assyria. I have heard you.

2 Kings 19:32-37

32 “So the Lord says this about the king of Assyria:

‘He will not come into this city
or shoot an arrow at this city.
He will not bring his shields up against this city or build up a hill of dirt to attack its walls.

33 He will go back the way he came,
and he will not come into this city.
The Lord says this.

34 I will protect this city and save it.
I will do this for myself and for my servant David.’”
The Assyrian Army Is Destroyed

35 That night the angel of the Lord went out and killed 185,000 people in the Assyrian camp. When the others got up in the morning, they saw all the dead bodies.

36 So King Sennacherib of Assyria left and went back to Nineveh where he stayed.

37 One day Sennacherib was in the temple of his god Nisroch, worshiping him. His sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword and ran away to Ararat. So his son Esarhaddon became the new king of Assyria.

MFM 26/4/22 MESSAGE:
Prayer has so many definitions with almost all of them pointing to its power and efficacy. Prayer has been described as the master key. This means that it has the power to open all locked good doors and lock up all opened bad ones. It is also defined as the staff of the Christian to walk with God. That is, to live a victorious Christian life, you must be a person of prayer.

King Hezekiah’s exemplary life of prayer is a pointer to what God can do in the lives of those who can pray. The Bible says in James 5:16b that: “The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.” Hezekiah was a righteous king who trusted in the Lord God of Israel. The Bible records that God was with him and prospered his ways.

Hezekiah was troubled when he received the boastful threats of Sennacherib. He sent a message to Prophet Isaiah who gave him the assurance of God’s backing. He also took the letter to God in prayer personally. Again, Prophet Isaiah sent to tell him that God had answered his prayers and would give him victory over Sennacherib.

Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, at that time, had the record of defeating every king or city that he fought against, until he made the fatal mistake of going against a praying child of God, Hezekiah. He received a total knock-out; his army of 185,000 soldiers was completely wiped out in just one night. He returned to his country shamefully and fell into the waiting hands of his assassinators.

What is the battle that is harassing your life? What is the Sennacherib that is challenging the power of God in your life — finance, career, business, marriage, health, etc.? As Hezekiah did, I enjoin you to hand your challenge over to the Man of War (Exodus 15:3) and experience the raw manifestation of His power that delivers to the uttermost.

BIBLE in one YEAR:
2 Samuel 23–24; Luke 19:1–27
