Hezekiah is under great stress and pressure from the Assyria army. They have man handled the surrounding nations. They have brought them to destruction. King Sennacherib is planning on doing the same to Jerusalem
One of the kings official's Rabshekah speaks to Hezekiah's leaders and says "tell your king to look around at what the kings of Assyria have done all over the world-one country after another devastated, and do you think your going to get off? Do you see anything left?"
Hezekiah took this letter and spread the letter out before God. When was the last time that you took the deadly words that have pierced your heart, and spread it out before God? Friend there are deadly words out of hell that are out to steal your confidence and your courage, to hinder you from pressing and walking forward in Gods plan for your life.
Hezekiah servants said, do you think your God heard what the Rabshekah said, sent by his master the king ofAssyria to mock the living God?
Later the prophet Isaiah sends words to Hezekiah, "Don't be upset by what you've heard. God will personally take care of him."
Hezekiah prayed to God. You are God, the only God there is, God of all kingdoms on earth. Mark all these words of Sennacherib that he sent to mock the living God. Save us from him, let all the kingdoms of earth know that you alone are God.
God tells Hezekiah, "This year's crop will be slim pickings, and the next year won't be much better. But in the three years, farming will be back to normal, with regular sowing and reaping, planting and harvesting."
"As far asAssyria goes: Don't worry, he won't enter this city, won't let loose a single arrow. I've got my hand on this city to save it, save it for my very own sake."
God adds, "Sennacherib, He will die and be killed a violent death." Then the Angel of God arrived and struck the Assyrian camp-185,000 Assyrians died. By the time the sun came up, they were all dead -an army of corpses. Sennacherib ran home and years later was killed by his sons.
Why do we put so much stock, so much value, and so much credence in the words out of hell? How many nights have we lost sleep over words that have taken our peace, our joy, our confidence in the God who saved us?
Hezekiah took it to the Lord. God heard the threats, the pomp, the arrogance, the pride, the deadly words that caused God's leadership and children to be distraught.
God is no different today; He hears the deadly words that cause you grief and sleepless nights. God has a word for your every situation that threatens your well being and you going forward. He did for Hezekiah, and He will for you.
