How to get victory through the prayer of King Hezekiah

Series 5 Prayer 2 ( Biblical Prayers for Today) I indirectly addressed this prayer several times, the most notable was in my post  Defending the Great Name of God through Prayer. In that post the purpose was to show how we have a responsibility to defend the Name of God. That particular post more than any other was met with a lot of resistance, I think because it asks the lay Christian to come out of his comfort zone and actively engage the devices of Satan in battle, through prayer. I am  not sure why Christians, who are supposed to be praying people refuse to pray the will of God with such dogged resistance. However that was that post.

Some of you may argue that God did not want you there anyway; my argument is maybe God did want you there to make a change, but because of your willingness to conform to the ways of the world, you have become of no value to God at all. (Selah) Savior It is these very same people that feel you are invading their space when you tell them about Christ. It is these very same people that have no problem with bragging about their perverted sexual preference, they find it t totally acceptable to boast about how many women they have ...
