We
read, Lord, about Hezekiah, facing a very powerful enemy –
‘Sennacherib, king of Assyria’ (Isaiah 36:1). We read his prayer for
deliverance – ‘O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand’. He prays for
salvation – ‘O Lord our God, save us…’ (Isaiah 37:20). We face an even
more powerful enemy – Satan, ‘the ruler of this world’, ‘the god of this
world.’ We pray for deliverance. We look to You, Lord, for salvation.
Help us to pray with faith in Jesus Christ. Satan ‘has no power over’
Jesus. When Jesus was ‘lifted up from the earth’ (crucified), He won a
mighty victory over Satan. Jesus died for us so that Satan, ‘the ruler
of this world’ might be ‘cast out.’ We thank You, Lord, that Satan’s
power is broken when ‘the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ’
shines ‘in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ.’ We pray for
deliverance. We look to You, Lord, for salvation. Help us to pray with
faith in Jesus Christ. Satan ‘has no power over’ Jesus. When Jesus was

‘the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ’ shines ‘in our hearts
to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Christ’ (John 14:30;12:31-33; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6).
