MORNING TIDE!! 2nd Kinds 20:1-6 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, “Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the LORD came to him: “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD.I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.” Power of prayers!!!!the above scripture shows that the plea of a righteous person can turn aside divine judgment, even after that judgment has been announced. Hezekiah teaches us an important Bible lesson. He listened to Isaiahs words about Gods sovereignty, and trusted the Lord to remove the Assyrian threat. God did. When Hezekiah became sick, he recalled what God had said through Isaiah about the Lords willingness to restore the godly, even after judgment had been announced. So Hezekiah called on God, pleading his godly life. And the Lord did heal, even though He had earlier announced that Hezekiah would die. Friends,what are you suffering from today??God hears and answers our prayers.Have faith like that of Hezekiah!!!!! MT…setting the pace for the day with yours Irene.Are you with me???Today we take it to the Lord in prayer?How can we stand in the gap for you and with you????Talk to me…Blessed day!
