Calling on the Lord

by Elder Lin Brown

Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

2 Sam 22:4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

1 Chr 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Psa 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Psa 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Zep 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Our key verse in this article is Jeremiah 33:3 which says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not". Also the verse in First Corinthians says that there are things that the Lord has for us that we do not even know about or have neither entered into our mind. What does it mean to call upon the Lord. I believe that when things become so desperate for us that we cry out in that desperation for some release. Scripture tells us that it is to the Lord that the cry of desperation should be directed. Have you ever been there? I have, many times in my life, and when I did call on the name of the Lord in true sincerity I always found that He answered me. The great thing is when we call on the Lord in faith and we find that He has great things to reveal to us in His own time. I am reminded that we have every spiritual blessing available to us in Christ Jesus. Just think the child of God has every resource he could ever need to live life here on earth. There is no trial, tragedy, suffering, discouragement, or anything that is adverse that can not be overcome by calling on the Lord in believing prayer. When the enemy comes in like a flood(be it a physical enemy, a discouragement, bad news, or anything thing whatsoever- don’t cry out to the rocks and the hills to hide you, cry out with all of your heart and soul to the Lord and rest assured that He will answer and will show you great and mighty things and things that have not even entered into your heart.
