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

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
