*Call upon me says the Lord!*
📍I ministered in a series of messages called *Prevailing Prayer* last September and then found myself afflicted for 7 months last year. During this time, especially during the 44 days ( 3 admissions) I spent in the hospital I found myself crying out to the Lord for myself and the many who were crying out in pain around me.
There were many, many persons around the world who were crying out to God on my behalf. I found the many prayers that I saw and heard very comforting to my soul. Thank Ya'll 🙌🏽
I must say prayer has preserved my soul and sealed my destiny. As long as I stay in God’s will I will one day head Him say well done.
📍Throughout the scriptures we see where people called upon the Lord and experienced His wonderful works and in and through their lives.
Let us look at three examples.
📖Then Samson called to the Lord and said, “O Lord God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this one time, O God, and let me take vengeance on the Philistines
for my two eyes.”
Judges 16:2-3
📖 And Hannah was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. [11] Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”
Samuel 1:10-11 NKJV
Throughout the Psalms David admonished us to call on the name of the Lord. He too had to cry out for help many times.
📖I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; And I am saved from my enemies. [Rev 5:12]
Psalms 18:3 AMP
📖 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. [18] The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Psalms 34:17-18 NKJV
📍The Lord himself admonished us to call Him.
‘📖*Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’*
Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
📖The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.Psalms 145:18 NKJV
The Lord invites us to call upon him.
Look closely at what he said to Jeremiah and now to us:
📖And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Why then will some of us not cry out to Him or why do some of us seek the Lord half heartedly?
We not call upon the Lord because of several reasons including:
Pride ( low and highway esteem)
Fear
Sin in our lives
Presumption
Unbelief
Prayer says to God, over to you!. Lord I trust you!
I woke up this morning and thought about the upcoming 24th High School Passion and Purity High School Conference- The Record, Go Music! A Call To Worship! St Jago High School. I heard the Lord say, call me and invite others to call me. I can do it again. I want to direct the hearts of many to worship me. Please join me in calling God for this today.
*Reflect and Respond*
Is there a situation direct or indirect that the Holy Spirit is prodding you to cry out to Him for today?
Remember you can cry out to Him for yourself and others.
What is stopping you from crying out to the Lord today!
Today and always let us intentionally call upon the name of the Lord as the Holy Spirit leads us.
You may need to call.other to help you call on the name of the Lord.
Let us then write down and share the amazing ways in which He answers.
Hey guys stop!
Hala, bawl, cry, weep, pour out your heart to the Lord. He is waiting to hear and answer us. Will you
