CALL upon GOD

 Genesis 4:25-26

King James Version

25 And Adam knew his wife again; 

and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: 

For God, said she, hath appointed me 

another seed instead of Abel, 

whom Cain slew.

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.


You can feel the earth groan.

As man continues to sin.

As problems continue to hound us.

As we are all on the verge of many wars.

As many continue to deceive.

We are in the greatest danger yet.

Will you call upon GOD?


What happened when JESUS called to GOD?

Matthew 27:45-50

King James Version

45 Now from the sixth hour 

there was darkness over all the land 

unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried 

with a loud voice, saying, 

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? 

that is to say, 

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, 

when they heard that, said, 

This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, 

and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, 

and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, 

Let be, let us see 

whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, 

when he had cried again with a loud voice, 

yielded up the ghost.


What happens when we CALL upon the NAME of the LORD?

Exodus 17:4-7

King James Version

4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, 

What shall I do unto this people? 

they be almost ready to stone me.

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, 

Go on before the people, 

and take with thee of the elders of Israel; 

and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, 

take in thine hand, and go.

6 Behold, 

I will stand before thee 

there upon the rock in Horeb; 

and thou shalt smite the rock, 

and there shall come water out of it, 

that the people may drink. 

And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 And he called the name of the place Massah, 

and Meribah, 

because of the chiding of the children of Israel, 

and because they tempted the Lord, saying, 

Is the Lord among us, or not?


1 Samuel 12:17-18

King James Version

17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? 

I will call unto the Lord, 

and he shall send thunder and rain; 

that ye may perceive and see 

that your wickedness is great, 

which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, 

in asking you a king.

18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; 

and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: 

and all the people greatly feared the Lord 

and Samuel.

and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
