Whosoever Shall Call
The key to unlock the riches of God’s mercy, grace, and power is; calling on the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ, in faith, from a believing heart.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
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.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Rom. 10:11-17 KJV
The promises of God, are for whosoever believeth on Christ, and whosoever shall call:
Notice God’s Order;
Believing, then Calling: It’s no use calling unless you first believe on Christ, that is; you have been genuinely born of God, and when you have been born again you will call upon Him in spirit and in truth.
Tepid Love?
You believed and called upon Him the day you were saved, but perhaps since then you became stagnant, relying on; that event, an experience, or depending upon your pastor teaching you, perhaps twice a week.
Real Love
That’s far from what God has in mind: He wants you calling on Him, constantly depending upon His Spirit, leading and teaching you from the inside.
Dead Works
Believing and calling are altogether different from the religious treadmill of; rote prayers, a parroted creed, routine church attendance, and singing “worship songs”. That’s man’s way: Not God’s.
Following Men or God?
Your denomination, whatever it is, has gone off the narrow path, your church will go wrong, your pastor will miss the mark: But Praise God the Holy Ghost is always revealing the Living Word of God, Who has never, and never will, go off. GLORY!
Kept From Falling
I believed and called on the LORD Jesus Christ to save me 32 years ago in New Zealand, was baptised in water the next day, and I have not ceased believing and calling on Him to lead me daily into His plan for my brief time on this sin-sick Earth.
His Word Works!
During those three decades, I’ve seen my LORD confirming His word with wonderful healing miracles, and answers to prayer, but I have also come across churches and movements imploding, I’ve witnessed pastors fall into grievous sin and backslide. Some of the people God used to lead me to faith in Christ have even become bogged down in denominational bondage: But Praise God, not once has the Spirit of God failed to point the way to walk pleasing to Him, and He has provided everything I need to glorify Him. He’s never failed you either.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever Heb. 13:8 KJV
The same Spirit who lived in Jesus of Nazareth, who dwelt in Peter, John, and Paul, has made His home in my heart, and by yielding – staying filled with Him, He keeps me busy, productive, happy, and healthy, just exactly as He kept His first followers.
God wants to do the same through you: He wants you to know Him intimately, to understand why you are here, what you are to do, and where you are going.
Jehovah Jireh: The LORD Provides
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Psalms 105:37 KJV
He didn’t give His Perfect only Begotten Son, so you could; “muddle by, making the best of a bad job, hoping things will turn out okay”: No! That’s for make-believers, day-dreamers, sinners, losers and no-hopers.
Christ bled and died to make you more than a conqueror, Rom. 8:37 KJV;
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Real believers become triumphant through trusting His word and Spirit in you, by doing as He leads, 2 Cor. 2:14 KJV;
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
If you are not walking in victory over sin, Satan, and sickness, then something is wrong at your end, with your believing and your calling.
What Are You Believing?
Believing must be wholehearted confidence in God’s written word revealed by His Spirt, and when you believe like that, your actions will line up with God’s infallible word: The KJV for English speakers.
When you call on your LORD and Master to guide you moment by moment you’ll; learn to recognize His voice, become familiar with His leading, and have constant assurance that Almightiness is with you, for you, and in you: Putting you over every obstacle of unbelief and temptation the Devil fabricates to deflect you.
Whosoever Includes You
Whosoever means it is for you, even if you’ve been the worst sinner in the world, you can believe and call on Father now to forgive you, you can be cleansed, and lifted onto His shoulders where you belong.
Take responsibility for your faith, words, and actions; it is up to you what you believe, what you say, and what you do.
The choice is yours: And when you choose to follow His Way, believing and speaking His words, the power and ability will be His, and He will bring His words to pass.
Only Believe!
Flee from the idolatry of religion: Come into the Living Christ and be set truly free.
Halleluia… AMEN!
