King Hezekiah says, If we pray HE will do greater things

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 07Mar2025

We are much more Powerful because the Lord Our God Fights on Our side.

Reference Scripture: 2 Ch 32:2-8/ 2Kg 18/ Is 36:1-22 

This is not ordinary times, but more or less, it's similar situation mentioned in 2 Ch 32. The Assyrian king Sennacherib launched a campaign against the the King of Judah Hezekiah, captured cities, sieged Jerusalem sent letters via officials to intimidate the ruling king and his people. He mocked King Hezekiah's trust in God, claiming no god had ever saved other nations from Assyria's might!

First response from the King of Judah recorded in 2 Kg 18:13-37, he agreed to pay 300 talents silver and 30 talents of gold to withdraw the fight. He was preparing to pay this price by collecting the resources across all places, however the enemy king decided to threaten and mock and insult the people by sending messengers to deliver information to all people in Hebrew to who sit on the wall, highways and byways. They used shameful words and made fun of the Lord. They talked about the LORD as if he were nothing but an ordinary god or an idol that someone had made. 

First fortified the cities, second sent insulting messages, third mocked the trust of the people in the Lord and lastly claiming no god any nation has ever been able to stand up to Assyria!

Now Hezekiah decided not to surrender and sought The Lord's help, went to the temple, spread out the blasphemous letter before God, Prayed earnestly for deliverance. He has collaborated with the Prophet Isaiah asked for God's help. they received the assurance of God's protection. I can confirm, Their faith and unceasing prayer gained God's attention. The answer came from the Lord that the enemies will not enter Jerusalem- This is the word to us this month, in this season that schemes of the enemies will not enter into our church, families. 

The King Hezekiah encouraged the people before and after prayer, to be strong, courageous, determined and confident for THERE IS A GREATER ONE WITH US THAT WITH ASSYRIANS. They have the arm of the flesh but with us is the LORD OUR GOD TO HELP US AND FIGHT OUR BATTLES.

That same night 185000 soldiers died, because the Lord sent one angel to destroy the complete camp, which forces Sennacherib to go back to Nineveh, later assassinated by one of his own sons while he was in his god's temple. The End. Terrified conclusion as the battle owned by YHWH. 

In this month, during this Lent season, There is no reason to be afraid for any threats, challenges, shortfalls, sickness, dryness, famines, distractions, doubts and difficulties. For the ONE with us is Greater, Stronger, more than enough to support, help us. There are more on our Side, God arranged fires of horses, chariots to cover our territories. If God is for us who can be against us? HE is with us wherever we go. HE will never leave us not forsake us. HE will surely help us, supply our needs according to His righteous in this month/ season. The Lord is in our side, He will fight for us. We just need to be still, make a progress and pass through by His Grace. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Amen. Hallelujah.

Lets happily PRAY and journey with ADONAI, as David did in Ps 21:2, The LORD is my Light and My Salvation who shall I fear? The Lord is my Stronghold of my Life, My Family, My Church in Jesus Name, Amen!

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us.
Shalom. Have a Great weekend.
In His Grip

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
