Pray is real, every prayer is the powerful weapon to demolish the strong hold of satan-
(Ephesians 6:10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
(Ephesians 6:11) Put on all the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(Ephesians 6:12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.
(Ephesians 6:13) Therefore take up all the armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
(Ephesians 6:14) Stand firm therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
(Ephesians 6:15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
(Ephesians 6:16) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
(Ephesians 6:17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;
(Ephesians 6:18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
(Ephesians 6:19) and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
(Ephesians 6:20) for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Pray is real, we live in it!
(2 Kings 18:1) Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.
(2 Kings 18:2) He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
(2 Kings 18:3) And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father David had done.
(2 Kings 18:4) He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, chopped down the groves and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.
(2 Kings 18:5) He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him.
(2 Kings 18:6) For he clung to Jehovah; he did not turn aside from following after Him, but kept His commandments, which Jehovah had commanded Moses.
(2 Kings 18:7) Jehovah was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
(2 Kings 18:8) He struck the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.
(2 Kings 18:9) And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
(2 Kings 18:10) And at the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
(2 Kings 18:11) And the king of Assyria carried Israel away captive to Assyria, and led them to Halah and the Habor, the River of Gozan, and to the cities of the Medes,
(2 Kings 18:12) because they had not obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed His covenant and all that Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded; they had neither heeded nor done them.
(2 Kings 18:13) And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
(2 Kings 18:14) And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, I have done wrong; turn away from me; whatever you impose upon me I will endure. And the king of Assyria assessed Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
(2 Kings 18:15) And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah and in the treasuries of the king’s house.
(2 Kings 18:16) At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold from the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
(2 Kings 18:17) And the king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish, with great forces against Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they had come up, they went and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which was on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.
(2 Kings 18:18) And when they had called out to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to them.
(2 Kings 18:19) And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which you have trusted?
(2 Kings 18:20) You have spoken of having counsel and power for war; but they are mere words of the lips. And in whom have you trusted, that you have rebelled against me?
(2 Kings 18:21) Now behold, you have trusted in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting in him.
(2 Kings 18:22) But if you say to me, We have trusted in Jehovah our God, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall bow down before this altar in Jerusalem?
(2 Kings 18:23) Now therefore, I urge you, give a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses; if you are able on your part to put riders on them!
(2 Kings 18:24) How then will you turn away the face of one governor of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
(2 Kings 18:25) Have I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah has said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
(2 Kings 18:26) Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jewish language in the hearing of the people on the wall.
(2 Kings 18:27) But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not also to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?
(2 Kings 18:28) Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!
(2 Kings 18:29) Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand;
(2 Kings 18:30) nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will rescue to deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
(2 Kings 18:31) Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make a peace treaty and come out to me; and every one of you shall eat from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree, and every one of you shall drink the waters of his own cistern;
(2 Kings 18:32) until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive groves and honey, that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.
(2 Kings 18:33) Have any of the gods of the nations at all delivered its land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
(2 Kings 18:34) Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim and Hena and Ivah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
(2 Kings 18:35) Who among all the gods of the lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
(2 Kings 18:36) But the people kept quiet and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, Do not answer him.
(2 Kings 18:37) Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
(2 Kings 19:1) And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
(2 Kings 19:2) And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
(2 Kings 19:3) And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke, and contempt; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring forth.
(2 Kings 19:4) It may be that Jehovah your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is found left.
(2 Kings 19:5) So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
(2 Kings 19:6) And Isaiah said to them, Thus you shall say to your master, Thus says Jehovah: Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
(2 Kings 19:7) Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
(2 Kings 19:8) And Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
(2 Kings 19:9) And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come out to wage war with you. So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
(2 Kings 19:10) Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
(2 Kings 19:11) Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall you be delivered?
(2 Kings 19:12) Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
(2 Kings 19:13) Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
(2 Kings 19:14) And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
(2 Kings 19:15) And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said: O Jehovah the God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and earth.
(2 Kings 19:16) Extend Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open Your eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
(2 Kings 19:17) Truly, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
(2 Kings 19:18) and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands; wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them.
(2 Kings 19:19) Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, I pray, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah God, You alone.
(2 Kings 19:20) Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I have heard that which you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria.
(2 Kings 19:21) This is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem Has shaken her head behind you!
(2 Kings 19:22) Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
(2 Kings 19:23) By your messengers you have reproached the Lord, and said: By the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, next to Lebanon; I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees; I will enter the ends of its lodging places, into its forest at Carmel.
(2 Kings 19:24) I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the soles of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
(2 Kings 19:25) Have you not heard? From long ago I have made it, and from ancient times I have formed it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
(2 Kings 19:26) Therefore their inhabitants were short handed; they were shattered and put to shame; they were as the grass of the field and the green herb, as the grass on the housetops and grain blighted before it is grown.
(2 Kings 19:27) But I know your abode, your going out and your coming in, and your rage against Me.
(2 Kings 19:28) Because your rage against Me and your arrogance have come up into My ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way which you have come.
(2 Kings 19:29) This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such as grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from the same; also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
(2 Kings 19:30) And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
(2 Kings 19:31) For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this.
(2 Kings 19:32) Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a siege mound against it.
(2 Kings 19:33) By the way that he came, by the same shall he return; and he shall not come into this city, says Jehovah.
(2 Kings 19:34) For I have defended this city, to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.
(2 Kings 19:35) And it came to pass that night that the Angel of Jehovah went out, and struck in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when they arose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead corpses.
(2 Kings 19:36) So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
(2 Kings 19:37) Now it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
(2 Kings 20:1) In those days Hezekiah had become sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Set your house in order, for you are dying, and shall not live.
(2 Kings 20:2) And he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, saying,
(2 Kings 20:3) Remember now, O Jehovah, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what was good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wailed with great weeping.
(2 Kings 20:4) And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
(2 Kings 20:5) Return and say to Hezekiah the ruler of My people, Thus says Jehovah the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of Jehovah.
(2 Kings 20:6) And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.
(2 Kings 20:7) And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. So they took and laid it on the boil, and he lived.
(2 Kings 20:8) And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah the third day?
(2 Kings 20:9) And Isaiah said, This is the sign to you from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps or go backward ten steps?
(2 Kings 20:10) And Hezekiah answered, It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten steps; no, but let the shadow go backward ten steps.
(2 Kings 20:11) So Isaiah the prophet cried out to Jehovah, and He brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
(2 Kings 20:12) At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
(2 Kings 20:13) And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures; the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all the house of his weapons; all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
(2 Kings 20:14) Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and from where did they come to you? So Hezekiah said, They came from a distant land, from Babylon.
(2 Kings 20:15) And he said, What have they seen in your house? So Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
(2 Kings 20:16) Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the Word of Jehovah:
(2 Kings 20:17) Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have laid in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.
(2 Kings 20:18) And they shall take away some of your sons who shall come forth from you, whom you shall beget; and they shall be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.
(2 Kings 20:19) And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good! For he thought, Will there not be peace and truth in my days?
(2 Kings 20:20) Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah; all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city; are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah.
(2 Kings 20:21) So Hezekiah rested with his fathers. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
If God can do to Hezekiah according to his prayer under the old covenant, how much more He will do to you today under the new covenant!

(Hebrews 12:2) looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:3) For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.
(Hebrews 12:4) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
(Hebrews 12:5) And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him.
(Hebrews 12:6) For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.
(Hebrews 12:7) If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
(Hebrews 12:8) But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
(Hebrews 12:9) Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
(Hebrews 12:10) For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
(Hebrews 12:11) Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
(Hebrews 12:12) Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
(Hebrews 12:13) and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.
(Hebrews 12:14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;
(Hebrews 12:15) watching carefully that no one fall short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and through this many become defiled;
(Hebrews 12:16) that there be no prostitute or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food gave away his birthright.
(Hebrews 12:17) For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
(Hebrews 12:18) For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,
(Hebrews 12:19) and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.
(Hebrews 12:20) (For they could not endure what was commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.
(Hebrews 12:21) And so formidable was the sight that Moses said, I am in terror and trembling.)
(Hebrews 12:22) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable multitude of angels,
(Hebrews 12:23) to the gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made complete,
(Hebrews 12:24) to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
(Hebrews 12:25) See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from the One speaking from Heaven,
(Hebrews 12:26) whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.
(Hebrews 12:27) Now this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being overthrown, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be overthrown may remain.
(Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
(Hebrews 12:29) For our God is a consuming fire.
(Hebrews 13:1) Let brotherly love continue.
(Hebrews 13:2) Do not forget hospitality, for by so doing some have unknowingly entertained angels.
(Hebrews 13:3) Remember the prisoners as if bound with them; and those who are mistreated, as also being in the body, yourselves.
(Hebrews 13:4) Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but prostitutes and adulterers God will judge.
(Hebrews 13:5) Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.
(Hebrews 13:6) So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
(Hebrews 13:7) Remember those in authority over you, who have spoken the Word of God to you. Observing the outworkings of their behavior, imitate their faith.
(Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
(Hebrews 13:9) Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
(Hebrews 13:10) We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
(Hebrews 13:11) For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
(Hebrews 13:12) Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
(Hebrews 13:13) Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
(Hebrews 13:14) For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
(Hebrews 13:15) Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to His name.
(Hebrews 13:16) But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
(Hebrews 13:17) Obey those in authority over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
(Hebrews 13:18) Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.
(Hebrews 13:19) But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
(Hebrews 13:20) Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
(Hebrews 13:21) make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
