Now, looky here. The greatest military and a—one of the greatest Christians that we’d call it today in the nation…Now, here it is. I want you to get it. The king, not an unbeliever, a true believer, a worshipper of God, in prayer, sincere weeping with his face to the wall on his deathbed…Looked like God would’ve spoke to him. He’s was the greatest figure in the nation as far as politics was concerned. He was the king. But God has His own ways of doing things. Instead of doing that, the prophet had done gone, so He spoke to the prophet and said, “Return back and tell him. I heard his prayer. I’m going to spare him for fifteen years,” God speaking to His prophet to go tell him. Now, it wasn’t the prophet’s prayer that healed the king; it was the king’s own prayer. But God spoke to the prophet and told him what he…See what I mean? Amen. I hope you see that. Get what I mean? Now, He’s the same God tonight. Now, look what prayer does. Prayer changed from death to life. God had said, “The man’s going to die.” And I believe Isaiah told the truth. He was borned a prophet, and his words were true and came from God. And then Hezekiah’s prayer changed the opinion of God. Oh, my. I like that. Prayer changes things. It’s the most powerful force that God ever put in the hands of man, is a sincere prayer offered to God. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that I’ll do.” Believe it. Try it once, and see if it isn’t true.
