Trust In the Lord for God is our Strength (2 Kings 18:1-19:37)

Part of the Spiritual Maturity series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Amplified Bible
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

Jesus is a greater Hezekiah who received the letter from the enemy that was a death certificate to us.
Jesus received the letter of our annihilation.
The enemy of our souls mocked the Lord as Jesus was on the cross the same way they mocked the God is Hezekiah. This the same mocking voice that comes to you and me.
Jesus is the better Hezekiah and revealed that God is our strength when instead of taking the letter of our annihilation into the Lord’s temple and spreading it out upon the floor, HE TOOK THE LETTER OF OUR ANNIHILATION UPON HIMSELF TO THE CROSS AND SPREAD OUT HIS ARMS AND BODY BEFORE THE LORD AS THE SACRIFICE FOR US IN OUR PLACE.
HE ANNIHILATED WHAT WAS MEANT TO ANNIHILATED US.

Colossians 2:13-15 - You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross
