In Chapter 32 of 2 Chronicles the king of Assyria and all his forces were laying siege to one of Judah’s largest cities. It doesn’t look good for Judah. An army of great force is surrounding them and the King of Assyria is sending messages to the people mocking them and mocking the God of Israel. He says…
2 Chronicles 31:15 “Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you and mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your god deliver you from my hand!”
I love the result!
2 Chronicles 32:20-21
20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this. 21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the leaders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons cut him down with the sword.
Hezekiah and Isaiah cry out to God and their prayer is answered! An Angel ANNIHILATES the entire army of the King of Assyria.
We need to realise that this is the same God with the same power that we pray to today!
Prayer Is Powerful!
