Are you in a time of need? What comes out of your mouth in time of need. Who do you call upon in times of trouble? For most of us, we would call upon the Lord Jesus. However, for most of us, I must ask, who do you call upon in the times of celebration, and the times of ease? Who do you call upon when you are by yourself, when no one is watching. Brothers and sisters, I encourage you to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus, each and every time. Praise him during the good and bad!! May you be the example of steadfast faith, to lead others to salvation though the good, and bad times.
Romans 10:8-13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
8But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,
9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
11The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.
12[No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].
13For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for knowing your name is always near by, and your word is near. Help us to be carriers of your word and salvation to others, so those who don not know of you, may hear the good news. Let us be worthy examples pleasing to you, in all we do, when in public, and when alone. May we be consistent, steadfast, and open to your will for us, for your glory, and not our own. Our prayers are for those who do not know you, to call upon your name, and to be called upon in your Kingdom. Help us to be the tools in building those relationships with you, as their personal Saviour. In Jesus name we ask ans claim these things, Amen!!
God Bless,
David B.
