I.   Lessons from Hezekiah include the lesson of Restoration<\/h3>\n

1. The temple worship was restored (2 Chronicles 29)<\/p>\n

1) 2 Chronicles 29:3-5<\/p>\n

2) 2 Chronicles 29:18-19<\/p>\n

3) 2 Chronicles 29:28-29<\/p>\n

1) 2 Chronicles 30:1-3<\/p>\n

2) 2 Chronicles 30:13-16<\/p>\n

3. How did they know how to do these things?<\/p>\n

4. They went to the word of God – 2 Chronicles 30:16.<\/p>\n

5. We can have restoration of the church today if we go to the word of God.<\/p>\n

1) Luke 8:11 says, “The seed is the word of God.”<\/p>\n

2) 1 Peter 1:22-23 “Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.”<\/p>\n

3) When we follow the word of God and do what it says, we can, like Hezekiah, have a restoration.<\/p>\n

II.  Lessons from Hezekiah include the lesson of Prayer<\/h3>\n

1. In regard to the armies of Assyria.<\/p>\n

1) In the 14th year of Hezekiah’s reign, the king of Assyria, Sennacherib came up against Israel (2 Kings 18:13).<\/p>\n

2) Hezekiah sent tribute money to Sennacherib in an effort to pacify him (2 Kings 18:14-16).<\/p>\n

3) Nevertheless, Sennacherib took all of the fortified cities around Jerusalem in Judah and then came up against Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

4) It wasn’t enough for Sennacherib to have all of these things, he wanted the people to stop trusting in the Lord, Jehovah, Yahweh.<\/p>\n

5) This, Hezekiah would not do.<\/p>\n

6) Read 2 Kings 19:1-7<\/p>\n

7) Read 2 Kings 19:14-19<\/p>\n

8) God delivered Jerusalem from the hands of Sennacherib by sending angels into their camp which slew 185,000 of their men in one night (2 Kings 19:35).<\/p>\n

2. In regard to Hezekiah’s sickness (2 Kings 20:1-7).<\/p>\n

1) Hezekiah got sick and was near death.<\/p>\n

2) Isaiah the prophet came in and told him that he was to die.<\/p>\n

3) But Hezekiah prayed to the Lord for deliverance and he was restored to health.<\/p>\n

3. From Hezekiah, we learn that prayer can change things.<\/p>\n

1) James 5:16-18 “Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.”<\/p>\n

2) 1 John 3:22 “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”<\/p>\n

Finally, in this sermon on Hezekiah…<\/p>\n

III. Lessons from Hezekiah include the lesson of Pride<\/h3>\n

1. Hezekiah also displayed a measure of pride in his life as a king.<\/p>\n

2. We find that after Sennacherib left that he began to glory in the riches of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

3. One of the sons of the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and Hezekiah showed him all of their wealth.<\/p>\n

4. Read Isaiah 39:1-2.<\/p>\n

5. Isaiah then came to Hezekiah and told him that because he did this thing that Babylon would carry everything away.<\/p>\n

6. Read Isaiah 39:3-8.<\/p>\n

7. We’ve all got to be careful with the problem of pride.<\/p>\n

8. Hezekiah was an object lesson of Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.”<\/p>\n

9. Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”<\/p>\n
