ENEMY AT THE GATES | Pastor David Jacinto | Sunday, 01/11/26

This powerful message takes us deep into 2 Chronicles 32, where King Hezekiah faces an impossible situation: the mighty Assyrian army, the most feared military force of the ancient world, is at Jerusalem's gates. What unfolds is a masterclass in bold faith under pressure. Hezekiah doesn't just pray; he combines natural preparation with supernatural trust. He secures the water supply, reinforces the walls, and manufactures weapons, all practical steps. But then he does something even more critical: he speaks courage into his people before the battle begins, reminding them that greater is He who is with them than he who is against them. When the enemy king sends psychological warfare through mocking letters, declaring that no god has ever defeated Assyria, Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cry out to God in prayer. The result? One angel destroys 185,000 Assyrian soldiers overnight. The lesson for us is profound. Moments of pressure reveal what we truly trust. Are we merely playing spiritual games when life is comfortable, or have we developed genuine faith that stands when obstacles, opposition, or difficulties arise? This message challenges us to prepare before the battles come, to cultivate our relationship with God in the calm so we can stand with boldness in the storm. Victory comes through combining wise natural action with unwavering supernatural faith.
