Behind Every Strong Person There is God!

2 Chronicles 29

Hezekiah “owned” his father’s corruption: “Our fathers acted faithlessly and did evil in the eyes of the Lord, our God. They abandoned him, turned away their faces from the Lord’s dwelling, and turned their backs on him. They refused to burn incense and offer holocausts to the honor of the God of Israel.” Remarkably, this young king full of the Holy Spirit exclaims, “Now, I intend to make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, that his burning anger may withdraw from us. My sons, be not negligent any longer, for it is You whom the Lord has chosen to stand before Him, to minister to Him, to be His ministers and to offer incense.”

Yes, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, it is YOU that God is asking to put on the armor of His protection and witness to the evil that threatens our existence. Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow me… Let us call on God’s army of angels in heaven and Archangel Michael to defend us in battle.

“Saint Michael the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: And do thou, O Prince of Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for ruin of souls. Amen.
