Isaiah was God’s prophet to Israel during the time of king Hezekiah of Judah. The king of Assyria had sent a message to Hezekiah threatening destruction if he didn’t submit to him and directly challenging his commitment to the Lord. Interestingly, Isaiah wrote about Lucifer’s tactics in association with the Assyrian challenge [Is. 14:25]. Both voices and messages were the same.

Hezekiah cried out to God who saved Judah by sending one angel to smite 185,000 enemy soldiers on one night. The evil king of Assyria was slain shortly thereafter.

We learn to recognize the enemy’s voice through whomever it comes. We cry out to God and watch Him destroy our enemy.

PRAYER: Lord, You are the great God. You are the ruler of the universe, and we submit ONLY to You. Give us a discerning ear to recognize the enemy’s voice and refute it through prayer and obedience to Your Word.
