PRAY; FOR PRAYER CHANGES SITUATIONS
FOCAL SCRIPTURE
ISAIAH 38:1-10
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Vs. 1
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, Vs. 2
And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, 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. Vs. 3
Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Vs. 4
Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen* years. Vs. 5
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. Vs. 6
And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Vs. 7
Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. Vs. 8
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness: Vs. 9
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years. Vs. 10
King Hezekiah was told by the prophet that his medical condition was a serious one and am sure if they had doctors, the doctors might have told him that he wasn't going to survive the sickness. Every one told him that there was no hope for him. Hezekiah reported it to God and had 15 more years added to his life.
Prayer still makes things happen, prayer changes situations around and we have a God who answers our outcry in times of distress.
No matter the report of the doctors, just go to Him in prayer believing that with you prayer things will turn around for your good.
He never sleeps or slumber so why would you think that He cannot hear you? He hears us, He hears our every cry, and He sees our tears and will answer our prayer.
Prayer is the key to that situation, prayer moves mountain, prayer changes situation, prayer heals our sicknesses. By His stripes we are healed.
Don’t forget to go to Him in prayer.
