Changing Hopeless Situations Part 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet…said unto him Thus saith the lord, set thine house in order: for thou shall die, and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face towards the wall, and prayed unto the lord {Isaiah 38:1-2}. Through prayer you can change any hopeless situation am not just referring to the kind of casual praying some folks engage in sometimes; I am talking about the earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of the righteous man! That kind of prayer, according to the bible makes tremendous power available, dynamic in its working. (James5:16 AMP). I have seen people who speak in tongues casually when something excites them or when something excites them or when they want to greet a fellow believer. Well, there’s nothing wrong with that, but however nice that may seem, such tongues are mere expressions in the realm of the spirit and don’t make much impact in your life as an individual. But there’s a way to pray in other tongues that stirs the power of God and causes it to produce result for you: I call it “turning your face to the wall.” That’s the way to pray when you have something to deal with; when there’s a hopeless situation you want to change. Turning your face to the wall means to turn away from men and the world around you unto God! You shut out all the distractions of life and focus on God speaking in other tongues. The Bible tells us how king Hezekiah, after the prophet Isaiah had announced to him God’s verdict of death, turned his face to the wall and prayed intensely. The result of his action was that the sentence of death on him was immediately reversed and the lord added fifteen more years to his life (Isaiah 38:4-6). Do you have something specific you want to call the attention of the spirit to? Find a quiet place where your spirit can be calm enough to hear God, and start speaking in other tongues. It may be somewhere behind closed doors, an open space or even on your bed so long as it‘s a place where you wouldn’t be easily distracted, get on your knees before the Lord and begin to pray! Call that thing by name and speak in tongues with the passion and intensity of the spirit.
