Hezekiah, God's Man of the Hour
by Daniel Rodgers
TEXT: 2 Chron. 31:20-21, And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God. [21] And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered. INTRODUCTION: Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became Judah's 13th king. You will remember that Israel had been divided since the death of King Solomon. Ten tribes had followed Jeroboam, and two tribes--Judah and Benjamin, had followed Rehoboam, Solomon's son. Worse than their division, as...

Living a Life That Counts
by Robert Walker
The longtime missionary to Zaire is still living today and loves to tell this story. "A mother at our mission station died after giving birth to a premature baby. We tried to improvise an incubator to keep the infant alive, but the only hot water bottle we had was beyond repair. So we asked the children to pray for the baby and for her sister. One of the girls responded, 'Dear God, please send a hot water bottle today. Tomorrow will be too late because by then the baby will be dead. And dear Lord, send a doll for the sister so she won't feel so lonely.' That afternoon a large package arrived from England. The children watched...
Time of Testing (8 of 8)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he'd had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests. ''During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. 'Son are you guessing on this test?' he asked. 'No sir,' replied the student. 'I'm just checking my answers.'''APPLY: When I was in college it was a fact of life that you'd be given tests. There were essay tests, true and false tests, fill in the blank tests… and I got to the point where I knew which teachers would give what kind of tests - and I'd study accordingly...
Hezekiah: A Great Man
by Jesse Hendley
We are going to take up today the study of a marvelous man, one of the greatest men in God's blessed history. You know, we have what we call profane history, and then spiritual history. It is wonderful to come to the Bible and see the history God has written down. What a wonderful man was Hezekiah! The other day in my devotionals I was reading the passage in Second Kings 18 and received such a blessing that I want to pass on something of that blessing. Hezekiah was the king of Judah. He was just a young man only twenty-five years of age when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. Now the amazing...
Fought the Enemy (4 of 6)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: While revival is a wonderful time of bliss and returning to God, it is not just a time of ease! Returning to God means Rebelling against the Enemy! A time of revival does not take us out of battle; it puts us energized into battle! In this sense a revival is a time of refreshing in the Spirit and resisting Satan! Revivals don't end our problems, nor eliminate our efforts in spiritual warfare; a revival often increases the amount of work. ILLUS: Renewing the Church is like remodeling your house: it takes longer than you hoped, costs more than you planned, and makes a bigger mess than you ever thought possible. -- Paul Smith in Is It OK...
The Power of Prayer and the Problem of Pride (3 of 3)
by J.D. Greear
Well, what really happened "next" with Hezekiah? It's really interesting, and really instructive for us…because how Hezekiah's life turns out after a great start, shows us the potential our lives can have-both for good and bad. 2 Kings 19-20: 2 Kings 19 records the story of the greatest battle that never happened. Sennacherib was the wicked king of Assyria...(worst name: snack of ribs). Assyria, which he ruled, was also really terrible place, a place so bad that, according to Veggie Tales, people slapped each other with fishes... Sennacherib had gone on a mini-world conquest and conquered over 46 city-states and kingdoms. In 2 Kings...
Hezekiah - King Who Prayed the Wrong Prayer (12 of 14)
by Jerry Vines
Second Chronicles 29, beginning with verse 1, introduces us to this Old Testament Bible character, Hezekiah. He began to reign when he was five and twenty years old. He reigned 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. God used King Hezekiah to lead one of the greatest revivals ever recorded for us in the Old Testament times. It was also a result of the preaching of Micah and Hosea and the great prophet Isaiah. But Hezekiah was the man God used to bring a great revival. The account of that revival is in chapter 29, but I want you to look over toward the end of that chapter, verse 36. That really...
Hope in the Hard Place of Sickness (1 of 4)
by Joe Alain
Sickness and the suffering that accompanies it is universal. All of us are touched by sickness either directly or indirectly. Sickness happens because we live in a fallen world (cf. Rom. 8:18-ff.). We know people who are hurting. Each week we hear of family members and friends dealing with illnesses. Our prayer lists seem to get longer each week. What do you do when you find yourself in that hard place of sickness? When King Hezekiah became deathly ill he turned to God in prayer and was healed. Life Application: In times of sickness, we are to trust God and seek His glory. This passage in 2 Kings 20:1-6 offers some practical...
The Prayer of Hezekiah (10 of 13)
by Clarence E. Macartney
In one of our bookstores, looking for a New Year greeting card, I picked up a card with this wish printed on it: ''May the New Year bring to you nothing but laughter and sunshine.'' I gathered up some of the cards, intending to purchase them; but upon second thought, I left them and chose others. Could I really wish for my friends that the year would bring to them nothing but sunshine and laughter? I felt that I could not, that I ought not to make such a wish, either for myself or for my friends. It takes more than sunshine and laughter to produce strong and useful lives. The cloud and the rainfall must play their part. A friend who has passed...
Heaven's Healer
by Ernest Easley
On this Day of Hope Sunday, you need to know that: Heaven has a healer! He heals broken hearts for we read in Psalm 147.3, "He HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED and binds up their wounds." Heaven has a healer! He heals all our diseases for we read in Psalm 103.2-3, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, WHO HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES," Heaven has a healer! We read in Exodus 15.26b, "for I am the LORD, your HEALER" which literally says, "I am Jehovah-Rapha," the God who heals, the God who restores, the God who heals. Heaven has a healer! He heals...
Remember My Faithfulness (10 of 14)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: When is it the hardest time to say ''NO'' to your kids? For me it was when they had just done some wonderful thing like dishes without being asked, or they followed through on important helpful tasks without being asked, and THEN they came and asked for a favor! Why is it so hard to say ''NO'' after they have been good beyond expectation? Because you want to capture these moments and reward them as part of the process of their maturing character, those kind of actions and attitudes that reveal a maturing, caring, thoughtful and unselfish person need rewarding. It is hard NOT to reward good behavior and...
Set Your House in Order
by Rex Yancey
2 Chronicles 31:20-21 gives us a background to King Hezekiah. ''And thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good, right and true before the Lord his God. And every work which he began in the service of the house of God, he did with all his heart and prospered.'' Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became Judah's 13th King. Israel had divided after Solomon. Ten tribes followed Jeroboam. Two tribes had followed Rehoboam. Israel had turned from God and polluted their land with idol worship. Ahaz, Hezekiah's predecessor ''Made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the Lord...
