Read Ch 36 of Isaiah and there is Hezekiah staring down the enemy. The enemy begins ranting at God's people and explaining to them why they are going to 'lose'. He systematically challenges all the promises of God and reminds them of their failures.
Isa 36:4-10 "This is what the great king of Assyria says: What are you trusting in that makes you so confident? Do you think that mere words can substitute for military skill and strength? Who are you counting on, that you have rebelled against me? ... "But perhaps you will say to me, 'We are trusting in the Lord our God!'.
Transcribed into our lives we must answer these sometimes on a daily basis. Yes I am trusting in God and Yes these 'mere' words spoken in Faith to Our Father in heaven are far superior to military might, enemy lies and announcements of doom.
We, like Hezekiah are believing that God will intervene in our cities, and as we cry out to Him who hears us, we restate our dependance on the One who was and is and is to come. Your Kingdom Come, Lord Jesus.
Today especially Lord we pray for all who you have called to stand up on their feet in this great army you are assembling. May the 'sound' be heard in every corner of our nation and in the heavens, so that the day of the Lords favour can be unleashed on us and our children.
In the name of the King, Jesus, Messiah.
