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

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
