“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.” (Isaiah 38:1-3)
🔘Isn’t this beautiful! In spite of the fact that the message that he was going to die came with a note of finality, he still pleaded his case to God with tears, and brought forth his strong reasons. He separated himself from everything and everyone; his pains and discomfort, and the thought of his inevitable death, and turned to God.
🔘His strong reasons were that he walked before God in truth and with a perfect heart, and did things that were acceptable to Him.
🔘The next thing that happened is simply exciting.
📖God stopped the prophet on his way back, and told him to go back to Hezekiah.
📖“Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.” (Isaiah 38:4-5)
🔘Hallelujah! Have you made a supplication to God lately? Did the Presence of God overwhelm you, as you brought forth your strong reasons?
📖“Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.” (Isaiah 41:21)
If this has happened to you, then it was the Spirit of prayer that came on you.
🔘That means you’re on your way to your miracle.
🔘Your prayer must be based on the Word of God; His provision in Christ.
🔘Otherwise, your reasons aren’t strong enough to get His attention.
🔘God will always honour His Word, when His Word is declared with your mouth in faith. Devils will shake and tremble, situations will bow.
🔘Why? Jesus said,
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mark 11:23-24)

When you pray and open your heart to God, you’ll forget about everybody else. This opens the door of your heart and because the Father is listening to you, He answers and steps into the room with you. Then the prayer increases as there would be a greater liberty to pray and the words will flow more and more from you like a ‘gusher’.
📖“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)
🔘When the Holy Ghost moves upon your life you will have a greater liberty to express yourself to God.
🔘There will be so much joy and boldness to say anything you want to God.
🔘Your whole heart bubbles out with joy, as you talk to God, since there is a greater freedom of expression in His Presence.
