Call on God............

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

Just because Jesus is no longer eating and walking among us in a physical body doesn't mean that we cannot count on Him. Today's Jesus is pretty much like yesterday Jesus. "For I am the LORD, I change not" Malachi 3:6; Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8. He is the miracle worker. He still saves. His compassion is the same. He still wants to bring you peace. You may not see Him in the natural but you must know, without a shadow of a doubt that He is with you.

So you are in trouble, the walls are closing in, call on His name. Are you at the bottom of the pit? Don't call on those who will not answer. Call on the one who will never be too busy for you. Most friends go into hiding when they know you are in needs, when you are in pain. They just don't know how to deal with you or what to do or say when you are going through the tough times, but Christ knows exactly how to comfort you because He's been there at the bottom of the pit. Are you in pain? He went through pain. Are you rejected? He suffered rejection. Are they plotting against you at work? Oh how He understands plots! There is nothing that you may be going through today that He cannot related to. He understands firsthand the torments of this world and more importantly He knows how to get you out of them. This is how my favorite Bible teacher explains the authority of Jesus "Just because He died on the cross does not mean He is no longer powerful, if anything, by his resurrection, Jesus was exalted to the right of God and declared to be Lord of all, the King of kings in the sense that God has subjected everything to His power." Friend,  Jesus is the Christ of glory, the preferred "Son" of God. That is why we can count on Jesus!

You may feel lonely this morning, no where to turn, no one to call but I assure you Jesus is near, His invisible hand is holding and guiding your every step. If you would just turn to Him, He would rush to your rescue, the only reason why you are still alone is by choice because He is alive. He is alive. He is now seated to the right of the Father waiting to plead your case. Waiting to fight for your causes, your battles, waiting (with pounding heart) for you to make the first move. Your victory is up to you. You may continue to fight alone or you may call on the One who never lost a battle. Glory! The choice is totally yours. You may not be able to see Him, but this presence and communion with Jesus is only possible by faith; if you do not have faith, you cannot experience his presence and glory in action. Jesus is the bridge toward God, for us Christians. Any access to God is by grace, gift of God, because God is inaccessible by nature; only by grace can men approach God. Only by the blood of Christ can we approach God.

Release your faith this morning. Let go of your pride. Put your faith in God; believe that He cares about you. He cares so much that He sent His son, Jesus Christ to be die for your sins and salvation. His intention is for you to be saved in every sense of the word. He planned for you to be at the next level. Just hang on tight to the word of God meditate on it day and night and soon you will enjoy perfect/complete victory. The victory you already have in the spiritual will manifest in the natural.

Praise the Lord!
