The love of God
After Enosh was born, we are told that it was then men began to call upon the name of the Lord. The Hebrew word for “call” that is used here is qara, which indicates more than just calling out to Him. It also implies that they began “proclaiming,” or “acknowledging,” the Lord. This is the beginning of our return to the light. To not see God in creation is a profound delusion, a darkness so deep that it is an intellectual black hole. A black hole is a term used for anomalies in space that have such a gravitational pull that even light cannot escape them. Men have in our times fallen into such intellectual depravity that they cannot acknowledge God, even though the scientific evidence that He exists is so overwhelming. Even so, from the beginning, there has always been some who would proclaim Him.
Man can fall into the deepest depravity, but if he still has enough light to call upon the name of the Lord, he can be saved. The incomprehensible love of God will not reject anyone who turns to Him, just as we are promised in Acts 2:21: “And it shall be, that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” This is repeated and elaborated on in Rom 10:12-14:
…the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon Him; for “Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
The Lord is “abounding in riches for all who call upon Him.” These are the true riches of the kingdom—the truth and the knowledge of God\’s ways. We are also told that others cannot believe without a preacher. How can we who have been blessed with such great riches not proclaim Him? To “call upon the name of the Lord” is more than just praying to Him, it is also to proclaim Him. How can we not share in the unlimited wealth that comes from the knowledge of His ways if we have been touched by His love?
- Pray Isaiah 44.24-25 and Jeremiah 10.1-16. Dismantle the wisdom, understanding and knowledge by which the kingdom of witchcraft is built rendering all their wisdom to be foolishness.
- Pray that their understanding will dismantle them rather than establish them and their dark knowledge will deplete and impoverish them rather than fill them with precious treasures with regard to the purpose of the LORD in every kingdom citizen’s life and experience.
- Pray that the Lord will destroy the works of ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Al Queda. Pray that their source will dry up and God will confuse their tongue.
