The Resurrection Cycle

UV 3209/10000 The Resurrection Cycle
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
2 King 20 v 5
The prophet Isaiah had just warned Hezekiah that he should set his house in order as he was going to die. The king had hit a wall in his life. He did not avoid the wall. Instead, the king turned to the wall and prayed with tears reminding the Lord how he had served Him faithfully with a perfect heart. Before the prophet left the outer court, the Lord heard the tears and words of Hezekiah and sent the prophet Isaiah back to him with the fresh word he had received from the Lord. Likewise, when we turn to the wall of Jesus and pray with sincerity and tears, the Lord will send us a fresh word to strengthen, encourage, revive and heal us.
It is interesting that the Lord refers to Hezekiah as His captain. Yes, whatever be our leadership position, we are captains of the Lord. We are wearing our caps on account of the anointing or the sovereign choice of the Lord. We should discharge our responsibilities as a sacred trust given to us by the Lord, the King of Kings. Whenever we see an obstacle, a barrier, a wall that seems insurmountable, we need to turn back to the true Wall of our strength, protection and provision, Jesus. He will enable us to run through a troop of the enemy and to scale the wall however insurmountable. We only need to keep our hearts perfect before the Lord. Our attitudes should be right or we may miss the grace. Hezekiah’s attitudes of humility, devotion, sincerity and faith moved the very heart of God who revoked the sentence of death upon his life.
I recently hit a wall in my career. It seemed insurmountable. I turned to my Wall –Jesus and He sent a fresh word to me to encourage me, to revive my hope. He said, “ On the third day, it will happen that which people told you is impossible.” I call this the Resurrection Cycle for Jesus died and rose again on the third day. Accordingly, on the third day, we received the good news of having crossed the wall. That which was dead and had no chance of happening, the Lord brought alive. He removed all barriers and obstacles. He also gave a sign on the third day to confirm His word and His will. In the case of Hezekiah, the Lord healed him of a fatal disease. On the third day, he received a sign to encourage him when the shadow cast by the sun went back ten degrees to confirm that the Lord will heal him. The Lord God revels in doing the impossible for He is God.
