2 Kings 20:1-6
Mark it down; God hears the cry of His people. He sees each and
every tear that comes from our setbacks and sorrows. Hezekiah had become
deathly ill and the prophet of the Lord came and said; "Set you affairs in
order, for you are going to die."
It's rare that God would send us a personal
warning that you are going to die. Each of us know sooner of later everyone one
of us will leave this life and go into eternity.
When God warns Hezekiah to set his house in
order, your going to die, He turns to the wall with weeping and praying.
"God you know I have been faithful to you and have served you
singe-mindedly, always doing what pleases you."
Before Isaiah could get out of the courtyard,
God tells him to go back and tell Hezekiah, "I have heard your prayer and
will add fifteen years to your life." It's not over till God says it's
over.
God does hear the cry of his servants and yes
He does see every tear that falls from your eyes. God even says that he bottles
our tears up in heaven. Some people pride themselves in having elaborate wine
cellars from various exotic wines around the world, but God has tear cellar in
heaven. God has seen every tear from every struggle and pain you have ever been
through.
God surely saw Hezekiah's tears that day and
changed His mind about his future. To confirm to the king, he ask the prophet,
"How will I know that this will be true?" The prophet said, "Do
you want the shadow of the sun to go forward ten degrees or would you rather it
go backwards ten degrees?" Hezekiah said, "Let it go backwards ten
degrees."
History proves that God's word is dead on
target. Some astronauts were calculating where the stars and orbits would be
1000 years from now. They placed their numbers in the computer and their study
revealed that a day was missing. What could be wrong, how is it off a day, one
said, "That's not possible?" Then one revealed a story he had learned
in Sunday school.
Joshua had prayed in a battle with the Amorites
for the sun to stand still so they might win a victory. (Joshua 10:12,13.) It
says; "so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and hasted not to
down about a day." But where is the lost forty minutes? Hezekiah prayed;
'Let the sun go back Ten degrees." Friend, ten degrees is exactly forty minutes.
These men proved scientifically that God's word
is accurately spoken. Go to the following site to read the entire miraculous

Can God really do that? Yes, He can and He is
no respecter of persons. If He heard this kings prayers, He will hear yours as
well. Call on Him today in your hurt and pain and see what incredible thing He
can do for you.
