We Are The People

2 Kings 18:13-14

“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. ¹⁴ Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; turn away from me; whatever you impose on me I will pay.” And the king of Assyria assessed Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.”

Good evening and welcome to the Sunday Night Edition of “We are the People” Prayer for America.  Every Sunday we bring together the hearts of intercessors that choose to invest a minimum of 15 minutes in prayers of agreement between the hours of 6:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. using the three focus points listed below as a guide. May God bless you for your concern for America’s future expressed in prayer tonight.  We encourage you to join us in prayer daily and invite others to join us.

King Hezekiah did not learn when King Sennacherib of Syria came against the land. He took the land that belonged to God’s people. Now the new Assyrian King Sennacherib did what his predecessor did and more.

Prayer Focus #1 Sennacherib took the land. Pray that America will be vigilant against attacks like cyber and biological. We must keep our physical boarders and infrastructures secure from hidden attacks by our adversaries. Pray in agreement tonight that we will be able to escape and evade the “snare of the fowler.”

Prayer Focus #2 Hezekiah was a good but weak leader. He quickly told Sennacherib that he himself was wrong and offered to pay off the Assyrians. Pray tonight that we will have godly leaders who will stand strong against all enemies who would like to plunder that which God has blessed us with.

Prayer Focus #3 After the enemy finished with Hezekiah, he would have to say like Peter and John did in the book of Acts, “Silver and gold have I none.” The only difference Peter and John had something to give the lame man – the ability to walk. Pray that we will have leaders who do not give away all we have. God teaches us to always reserve some for unexpected needs. In our federal spending we must keep margins of safety.
