Title: Your Current Condition is not Your Conclusion
Text: 2 Kings 20:1-6
Author: Darrow Perkins
INTRODUCTION: There are times when we feel that where were are or what we're going through is the end of the line. Some people take it a few steps further by hurting others or hurting themselves because they feel the situation is so bleak that there is no positive outcome. Let's be honest today, all of us have some kind of condition or situation we're dealing with and we need someone with real power to help us out of it.
The word "condition" is defined by Webster's dictionary is "A mode of being or form of existence of a person or thing, a state at a particular time." One of the things that caught my eye there is time, which tells me that it's only for a season and will not last always. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." That's not to say you won't have some rough days, but those days will only last for a season!! So that would mean that your current condition is only for a season, but it's not your conclusion!
BACKGROUND/TEXT: Our selected text deals with three individuals: King Hezekiah, the Prophet Isaiah, and God. The text tells us that Hezekiah condition was sick unto death and he was going to die soon. Hezekiah was a man of faith and believed that God could do anything and everything and nothing was too hard for him. Concerning Hezekiah, 2 Kings 18:5 says, "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was not like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him." He was the king; he was the ruler of Judah; he was a man that trusted God; yet trouble and conditions still found his address.
This lets us know that with conditions, it's an equal opportunity predator that looks beyond position, status, and spiritual connection. There's three things I'd like to look at from this text.
