Amen.

you've ever heard before. It's what I call a deep cut. Sometimes I like these Bible stories

that we haven't heard a million times like Moses in the Red Sea and David and Goliath. Those

are good too. Jesus getting up from the grave. That's the best one. But there are these little

stories and there's one little story that I've been living in for the last few weeks and I want

to share it with you. But first let me tell you what we're going to talk about today. Is something

that the Lord told me to tell you a charge that He wants me to give you. And today I want to teach

you how to challenge the shadow. Challenge the shadow. And just give your neighbor that title on

your way to your seat. Say challenge the shadow and put it in the comments if you're online. You may

be seated. Challenge the shadow. And this is going to help us today. Challenge the shadow.

In 2 Kings chapter 20, there is a story of the king named Hezekiah. He was the greatest king

since David in the time where many of the kings were wicked. It wasn't perfect.

No human king is. That's Jesus' job when he comes onto the scene in the book of Matthew.

But Hezekiah did pretty good and got help him in a great way. He accomplished a lot. He defeated

and subdued a lot of enemies. But in 2 Kings chapter 20, verse 1, just after God has given

Hezekiah a great victory, something kind of crazy happens. And I want to tell you about it today.

2 Kings chapter 20, verse 1, the scripture records, in those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the

point of death. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amos, went to him and said, this is what the Lord says. Put

your house in order because you're going to die. You will not recover. Thanks a lot, prophet. Isaiah.

Appreciate that. Can we get another prophet in here? How about Micah? Nehom? How back it? Zeffaniah.

But this word from God comes through the prophet. You're going to die. You won't recover.

Now look at this. In verse 2, Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord.
