Stan Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth." (19:15) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." They both place God where He should be on His throne above all things and names Him creator of all things. They are important to faith because we must realize that on a creator God and a loving God who is above all can answer prayer and save usfrom our sinfulness. With out the faith in who God really is how can we expect Him to answer us and keep us to the end. We need faith and strength to pray forceful prayers during our times of trouble like Hezekiah's and a firm belief that our God will answer.

Nina Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? Hezekiah begins his prayer giving honor and awe to the God of everything just as the Lord's Prayer begins giving honor to God - Hallowed be Thy name. This is important to our faith because we need to praise God and give Him the proper honor and respect so we can grow closer to Him and build our faith by realizing His majesty and power and all He has done for us. When we get an understanding of the magnificance and power of God, it builds our faith. We can come before God with assurance that He is able to answer our prayers and take care of any situation.

iam4-1god Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? These sentences are affirmation to us, and God, that we are praying to the One, True God of all creation. For me, I am talking straight to God-my Heavenly Father. My Provider, my Sustainer, my Everything. And for God, it is the same. He knows that we are talking straight to Him, and that we believe that He is The One True God and that we believe that He will hear and answer.

JanMary Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? Hezekiah, as Jesus did, begins by addressing and acknowledging the Lord, by his title and position of God/Father, enthroned in Heaven....declaring Who He Is. Sovereign over all creation. How are they important to faith? Addressing the Lord this way, puts whatever I'm praying about in the proper perspective in light of Who He is....sometimes I begin by saying, especially if I'm feeling overwhelmed..."Heavenly Father, You created the Universe by simply speaking a Word and bringing it forth out of nothing.." after that, my issues are tiny and easily handled by my Mighty Warrior God and Father. It's not just throwing a "hey you" out into the Heavenlies....it's a respectful address by one of His children. How are they important to God answering the prayer? He responds to faith...the way I address Him demonstrates faith...that I know and love Whom I'm praying to and that I believe He hears and answers prayer, as well as has the power and authority to answer in the way that is best.

RickJW Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? "Our Father, who art in heaven" - and - "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth." Both of these opening sentences of prayer, praise God, and acknowledge his soverign rule over all creation. It is important that we recognize God's authority over us, and indeed, all of creation, as God rejoices that we realize His position, and our position as well. Since we are taught in scripture to pray this way, it is expected of us, if we are to expect God to answer us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordwoman Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? Both prayers exalt God as the true and living God and His sovereignty above all. Also, it verifies his "residence"... Important to faith because it shows the relationship -- He's God...we're not. He is Father..we are child. God wants us to be dependent upon Him. He's the Dad, we're the child...He'll take care of it...whatever "it" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer? Both prayers revealed that God is above all others and in control of everything and everybody. We must understand to hold onto our faith no matter how grim it looks. We must take our faith off the unemployment line and work our faith because faith without works is dead. When we pray Gods will and believe what we have prayed our prayers will be answered. Patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patience123 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 The first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer like the first sentence of The Lord's Prayer proclaim the greatness of Almighty God. They are important to faith as this vision of God drives our faith in his power---placing our heart and mind in the correct position to petition our GOD who has limitless power and unfailing love to his children. I was so thrilled to read of the Exodus, the desert wanderings,the building of the Tabernacle and later on the building of the first Temple in Jerusalem. That is when I truly felt how great is our God, every year when I get to that part of the Bible I feel great excitement knowing what a treat is in store, I never tire of reading it, thankyou Lord for your wonderful Word. I would also like to thank Dr Ralph for these lessons, they are so helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PathFinder51 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? 2 Kings 19:15 (NIV) "And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD: "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth." Matthew 6:9 (ASV) "Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." Hezekiah begins his prayer with a vision of who God really is. Introduction Introduction "Our Father who art in heaven" "O Lord" The word translated as father is abba. Hezekiah adores God First Petition "God of Israel" Because Israel was his peculiar people. "Hallowed be thy name" People may look upon God's name "Enthroned between the cherubim" as holy; something that inspires awe There was the peculiar residence of his glory upon earth. and reverence. "the God of the whole earth" Hezekiah gives glory to God who is not confined to the temple. "for thou hast made heaven and earth" Being Creator of all, by an incontestable title God is owner and ruler of all. How are they important to faith? The title says it all. If our own vision of God is small, we'll never ask of him great things. Hezekiah's prayer springs from his faith in the God of creation. How are they important to God answering the prayer?

JoanG Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 The openings of both prayers tell of the greatness of God. They show how powerful he is. They hold him above all that is on this earth. When we believe in the greatness of God, we know in our hearts and souls that he is capable of doing anything. Nothing stops us from taking all of our thoughts and concerns and prayers to him. God knows that we truly trust in him. God can see into our hearts and souls and he knows how much we trust him. He knows how we really feel about him. It shows how much we adore and love him as our heavenly Father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
