Wednesday 01/08/2018 (Possessing the gates of the Month's Prayer)



POSSESSING THE GATES OF AUGUST 2018
TOPIC: A BATTLE OF THRONES
TEXT.2 Kings 19:14-19.

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: "O Lord, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
16 Give ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.
17 "It is true, O Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste these nations and their lands.
18 They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by men's hands.
19 Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God."
INTRODUCTION
The news that we receive nowadays shows us that there is a battle of ‘kingdoms’ going on, we see on a daily basis that the kingdom of darkness is all out for battle against children of the kingdom of light. Today we stand at the gate of the month of August to declare our authority as children of God over the sons and daughters of darkness.

INTRODUCTION In the Lord Bible, Jesus asked His Disciples, who do the people say I am…and He later asked, Who do you say the Son of man is? …..
