Isaiah 37:14-21  "Hezekiah’s Prayer 14 Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: 16 “Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 17 Give ear, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see; listen to all the words Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God.

18 “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands. 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands. 20 Now, Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are the only God.” 21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me ..."

"I Just Feel Like Something Good is About to Happen" (Lyrics)

I just feel like something good is about to happenI just feel like something good is on its wayHe has promised that He'd open all of HeavenAnd, brother, it could happen any dayWhen God's people humble themselves and call on JesusAnd they look to Heaven expecting as they pray
I just feel like something good is about to happenAnd, brother, this could be that very day
...Because you have prayed!!
We don't want to miss an open heaven! Don't miss this moment!
We serve a Great God who can do abundantly above and beyond what we can imagine!
*Prayer Warriors need Prayer Warriors!
  • pray for each other

  1. Spread out the letters before Him
  2. Listen for His instruction

The Battle Belongs to Him...

"Battle Belongs" (Lyrics)

When all I see is the battle, You see my victoryWhen all I see is the mountain, You see a mountain movedAnd as I walk through the shadow, Your love surrounds meThere's nothing to fear now for I am safe with You
So when I fight, I'll fight on my kneesWith my hands lifted highOh God, the battle belongs to YouAnd every fear I lay at Your feetI'll sing through the nightOh God, the battle belongs to You
And if You are for me, who can be against me? YeahFor Jesus, there's nothing impossible for YouWhen all I see are the ashes, You see the beautyThank You, GodWhen all I see is a cross, God, You see the empty tomb
So when I fight, I'll fight on my kneesWith my hands lifted highOh, God, the battle belongs to YouAnd every fear I lay at Your feetI'll sing through the nightOh God, the battle belongs to You
Almighty fortress, You go before usNothing can stand against the power of our GodYou shine in the shadow, You win every battleNothing can stand against the power of our God
An almighty fortress, You go before usNothing can stand against the power of our GodYou shine in the shadow, You win every battleNothing can stand against the power of our God
An almighty fortress, You go before usNothing can stand against the power of our GodYou shine in the shadows, You win every battleNothing can stand against the power of our God
So when I fight, I'll fight on my kneesWith my hands lifted highOh God, the battle belongs to YouAnd every fear I lay at Your feetI'll sing through the nightOh God, the battle belongs to You
Oh God, the battle belongs to You
