31 / 100

Isa 37:21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria, the Lord has spoken this word against him:"The virgin daughter of Zion
despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem
shakes her head in derision as you flee.

Let me put you in the picture. King Hezekiah has been careless about God and has done some pretty dumb stuff. Then a more evil King comes to attack him and his city. His first response is to go into the presence of God and send for the prophet to 'hear the word of the Lord'.

Please take the time to read Is 36 - 37 if you are believing for your city or you have a challenge in your life and as you read, look for the keys that saw Hezekiah receive his victory.

Here in this verse, the prophet says, 'Because you prayed' ... and goes on to annouce the favour of God for his situation.

I, like you and Hezekiah, have done some dumb stuff, but do not let that keep you out of the presence of God. Go there, go there today, commit your plans to Him and he will establish you. This story is full of promises for the Warrior. We are believing for our city and I receive this word that Isaiah announces over my prayers. Take 10 mins today and go to the 'temple' and tell Him your cares and ask for redemption, in the name of His Son, Jesus!
