The Enemies Shall not invade your Land


Hezekiah received a threat letter from the Sennacherib king of Assyria. After reading the letter, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.  The Lord responded to his prayer, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Your prayer to me about Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. This is the word that the Lord has spoken concerning him: “She despises you, she scorns you— the virgin daughter of Sion; she wags her head behind you— the daughter of Jerusalem.” “For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Sion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord will do this. “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the Lord. For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” And that night the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. (2 Kings 19:9b-ll, 14-21, 31-35a, 36). Child of God, do you know that you are the virgin daughter of Sion? As the daughter of Jerusalem no evil shall befall you! The enemies will never invade your land. They will not succeed! he Lord will surely protect you from the hands of your enemies and it shall be well with you in Jesus name - Amen!
