Topic: Miracles Through Prayers
Text: 2 Kings 20:1-5
1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
3I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
Key Verse: “… Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.” 2 Kings 20:5b
Message
Quit playing start praying, quit feasting start fasting, talk less with men, talk more to God. Listen less to men, listen more to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail (Leonard Ravenhill). Men have power with God in the place of prayer. You can turn any situation around through prayers. God is always wanting to answer your prayers; so pray until your prayers are answered.
Daniel 11:32b says, “but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Do you know God? Are you saved? Is your heart cleansed by the blood of the Lamb? Delay no longer, come before Him today, acknowledging your sinfulness. Ask for His pardon and invite Him into your heart. Like Hezekiah, you can then stand and pray to change any negative prophecy against your life and family. Hezekiah was not pleading with the prophet but with God because he knows his God. Don’t wait for anyone before you get your miracle, like Hezekiah settle it on your knees. Your testimony is the next!
Further Reading: Matthew 8:5-10
Prayer for today: Dear Father, please increase my faith in You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
