2 Kings 18-19: Good King Hezekiah


Listen Later

When an unstoppable army marches to Judah’s doorstep–mocking their faith and daring them to trust God–find out how King Hezekiah and the Prophet Isaiah respond (it's awesome) in 2 Kings 18 and 2 Kings 19. 

Themes of this podcast episode:

Recognizing the Enemy’s Tactics. The Assyrian commander uses fear, lies, and twisted theology to manipulate Judah into surrender. His strategy mirrors the enemy’s tactics today, showing us why we must be grounded in truth to stand firm.

Trusting God in the Face of Fear. King Hezekiah faces overwhelming opposition...twice. The first time, he panics and makes a big mistake. The second time, he makes an incredible faith come back. Don’t miss this helpful reminder that faith isn’t about the absence of fear—it’s about where we place our trust when fear comes knocking.

Prayer Changes History. Hezekiah’s bold, God-centered prayer isn’t just a desperate plea, it’s a game-changer. His prayer aligns with God’s will, giving us a powerful example of how we can bring our own struggles to God.

🎧 Listen now to this incredible story of faith, prayer, and divine intervention.
