RESET!

Isaiah 38:1-6 MEV
In those days Hezekiah was mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.”
[2] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD,
[3] and said, “Remember now, O LORD, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
[4] Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying: [5] “Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Surely I will add to your days fifteen years.
[6] I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

Reset means to set again, to put something back to its original state where possible, reset to factory setting or brand-new state. Reset is to cause something to enter the state of neutral representation.
There is no move of God that was or will ever be manifested on the earth without fervent, powerful prayer made by a righteous person says James 5:16. We all need “reset” in life at some point and can only get such reset through prayer. We need to start and keep dialoguing with God to get a reset. When we pray the prayer for reset, it means we are ready for a new thing and are asking God to help us start without a previous history as seen in Revelation 21:5.
After Hezekiah poured out his heart in prayer to God in deep humility, asking God to meet his need because he had stayed faithful to God’s covenant by submitting to God’s value, the Lord answered him by demonstration of grace and power. How sure are you of God’s covenant?
Notice that Hezekiah based his prayer request for healing on his faithfulness to God-not God’s faithfulness to him.
So many of us are under the impression that we must accept godly announcements and pronouncements without consideration, unlike Hezekiah who petitioned God for a change of sentence and the Lord’s favourable response illustrates His willingness to hear and answer our we pray.
There’s an agreement that God doesn’t change His mind, but you only need to look and understand through the scriptures that when a righteous man is fervent in faith, God will change His mind NOT His person-that NEVER changes. We see in Exodus 32:9-14, John 2:1-12, and Genesis 18:16-32 that intentions were changed and there was a reset at their bargaining.
Hezekiah got a confirmation to his reset as instantly as others before him, even when he asked God for something naturally impossible. God’s guarantee to him was to make the shadow on the sundial go ten steps backwards, Hezekiah got a supernatural signature to his reset.
The miracle of the sundial proves prophet Isaiah’s worthiness and God’s faithfulness as well as a confirmation of God’s answer to Hezekiah’s prayer.
God is able and still willing to turn the sundial of your life to a reset, have you asked God for a reset? Then push the reset button.
Verse 2 states that Hezekiah cried to the Lord, but God saw Hezekiah’s tears in verse 5 and responded accordingly.
Do you need a reset in your life? Pray and cry to the Lord- the Lord can reset that bad, hurtful marriage, reset the vagabond life, reset the wasted years, reset sickness to wholeness and much more.
In Jeremiah 32:27 God asked if anything is too hard for Him? If He can turn the shadow on the sundial 10 steps backwards and Hezekiah received 15 more years, He certainly can do the same for you.
Hezekiah submitted to God’s value, he accorded the control of his destiny to God because he recognised God’s faithfulness to His word and covenant. Don’t be hesitant to take that matter to the Lord in prayer when it looks like it’s out of control, He can reset the issues. Push the reset button!
Shalom
