Among all the kings of Judah and Israel, there were very few who "did what was right." Hezekiah was one of the good kings! Even though his father was evil, Hezekiah ushered in a period of spiritual renewal. Every renewal or awakening begins with one person and it is without regard to their ancestry. Every renewal begins with a return to God's word and has an effect on generations to come. Are you the one to begin our next "spiritual awakening?"

1. Hezekiah: Spiritual
Renewal

2. Hezekiah: Spiritual
2Kings 18:3
And he did what was right in the
sight of the LORD, according to all
that his father David had done.

3. 2Kings 18:4
He removed the high places and broke
the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden
image and broke in pieces the bronze
serpent that Moses had made; for until
those days the children of Israel burned
incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.

4. 2Kings 18:5,6
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so
that after him was none like him among
all the kings of Judah, nor who were
before him. For he held fast to the LORD;
he did not depart from following Him,
but kept His commandments, which the
LORD had commanded Moses.

5. 2Chronicles 29:3
In the first year of his reign, in the
first month, he opened the doors
of the house of the LORD and
repaired them.

6. 2Chronicles 29:18,19
18 Then they went in to King Hezekiah
and said, “We have cleansed all the
house of the LORD, the altar of burnt
offerings with all its articles, and the
table of the showbread with all its
articles.

7. 2Chronicles 29:18,19
19 Moreover all the articles which King
Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his
transgression we have prepared and
sanctified; and there they are, before the
altar of the LORD.”

8. 2Chronicles 29:20,21
20 Then King Hezekiah rose early, gathered
the rulers of the city, and went up to the
house of the LORD. 21 And they brought seven
bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven
male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom,
for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he
commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron,
to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

9. 2Chronicles 30:1
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and
Judah, and also wrote letters to
Ephraim and Manasseh, that they
should come to the house of the LORD
at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to
the LORD God of Israel.

10. 2Chronicles 31:1
Now when all this was finished, all Israel
who were present went out to the cities
of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in
pieces, cut down the wooden images,
and threw down the high places and the

11. 2Chronicles 31:1
altars—from all Judah, Benjamin,
Ephraim, and Manasseh—until they had
utterly destroyed them all. Then all the
children of Israel returned to their own
cities, every man to his possession.

12. 2Chronicles 31:4,5
4 Moreover he commanded the people
who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute
support for the priests and the Levites,
that they might devote themselves to
the Law of the LORD.

13. 2Chronicles 31:4,5
5 As soon as the commandment was
circulated, the children of Israel
brought in abundance the firstfruits of
grain and wine, oil and honey, and of
all the produce of the field; and they
brought in abundantly the tithe of
everything.

14. 2Chronicles 31:20,21
20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah,
and he did what was good and right and
true before the LORD his God. 21 And in
every work that he began in the service of
the house of God, in the law and in the
commandment, to seek his God, he did it
with all his heart. So he prospered.

16. Spiritual Renewal
• Every spiritual renewal begins with one
person

17. Joshua 24:15
And if it seems evil to you to serve the
Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom
you will serve, whether the gods which
your fathers served that were on the other
side of the River, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

18. Joshua 24:15
But as for me and my
house, we will serve the
Lord.”

19. Spiritual Renewal
• Every spiritual renewal begins with one
person
• It is without regard to their ancestry

20. 2Chronicles 28:1-4
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he
became king, and he reigned sixteen years
in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was
right in the sight of the LORD, as his father
David had done. 2 For he walked in the
ways of the kings of Israel, and made
molded images for the Baals. 3 He burned

21. 2Chronicles 28:1-4
incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom,
and burned his children in the fire,
according to the abominations of the
nations whom the LORD had cast out before
the children of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed
and burned incense on the high places, on
the hills, and under every green tree.

22. Spiritual Renewal
• Every spiritual renewal began with one
person
• It was without regard to their ancestry
• It always begins with a return to God’s
word!

23. 2Chronicles 34:14
Now when they brought out the
money that was brought into the
house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest
found the Book of the Law of the Lord
given by Moses.

24. 2Chronicles 34:19
Thus it happened, when the king
heard the words of the Law, that
he tore his clothes.

25. 2Chronicles 34:29-33
29 Then the king sent and gathered all the
elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30 The
king went up to the house of the LORD,
with all the men of Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests
and the Levites, and all the people, great

26. 2Chronicles 34:29-33
and small. And he read in their hearing
all the words of the Book of the
Covenant which had been found in the
house of the LORD. 31 Then the king stood
in his place and made a covenant before
the LORD, to follow the LORD, and to keep

27. 2Chronicles 34:29-33
His commandments and His testimonies
and His statutes with all his heart and all
his soul, to perform the words of the
covenant that were written in this book.
32 And he made all who were present in
Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand. So

28. 2Chronicles 34:29-33
the inhabitants of Jerusalem did
according to the covenant of God, the
God of their fathers. 33 Thus Josiah
removed all the abominations from all
the country that belonged to the
children of Israel, and made all who were

29. 2Chronicles 34:29-33
present in Israel diligently serve the LORD
their God. All his days they did not
depart from following the LORD God of
their fathers.

30. Spiritual Renewal
• Every spiritual renewal began with one
person
• It was without regard to their ancestry
• It always begins with a return to God’s
word!
• Our actions affect generations to come!

31. 2Kings 20:16-19
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the
word of the LORD: 17 ‘Behold, the days are
coming when all that is in your house,
and what your fathers have accumulated
until this day, shall be carried to Babylon;
nothing shall be left,’ says the LORD.

32. 2Kings 20:16-19
18 ‘And they shall take away some of your
sons who will descend from you, whom
you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs
in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ”

33. 2Kings 20:16-19
19 So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word
of the LORD which you have spoken is
good!” For he said, “Will there not be
peace and truth at least in my days?”
