They Called Upon the Lord
And Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel; for Cain killed him.”
And to Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD (Gen 4:25-26).
After the original transgression in the Garden, the corruption of mankind continued on a downward spiral. The Lord created man to be free, and He would let man go his own way. Yet, in His unfathomable compassion, He continued to bless them and help them as much as He could. The Lord knew the end from the beginning, and from the beginning He planned and prepared for man\’s ultimate redemption and restoration from his sin.
Faith Promise Declaration #8
By Faith, I am saved and delivered from the curse. I am a child of God, I am part of a royal seed. By faith I will enter the Holy of Holies and take hold of everything that I need!
All of God\’s ways are so much higher than man\’s that we will be spending eternity learning about Him. He stretched out the galaxies like a curtain, with billions upon billions of stars in each one. He set the earth in such a tiny slice of orbit that if we deviated just the equivalent of one-eighth of an inch over a one hundred-mile distance we would either freeze or fry. He set the earth on a tilting axis so that the seasons would change, alternately melting the ice so that it would not wobble out of its orbit. Then He set the moon and other planets in their appointed orbits so that their gravitational pulls would perfectly stabilize the earth. If any of these things changed, the earth would quickly drift out of its orbit and all life would perish. Scientists have conceded that if the power of all of the computers in the world were added together, they could not compute the odds that all of this just happened by accident. When we begin adding the extraordinary balance of nature needed on the planet to sustain life, we know that the mind of God is far, far beyond our ability to comprehend. When we look at the heavens, the whole earth is but a speck of dust, like a single grain of sand to the oceans. King David wondered:
When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? (Ps 8:3-4)
God not only considers man, but He has chosen to dwell with man. For some incomprehensible reason, He loves us. He even loved us enough to empty Himself and become one of us for our salvation. As much as He can without violating the freedom that He gave us, He fixes our mistakes and blesses us even though most of the time we do not even know it. The serpent may have deceived Eve, but she realized that it was the Lord who gave her another son.
- The refugee issues have overwhelmed the UN.
- Thousands of Burundians are now refugees in Tanzania, Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Thousands of Nigerians are refugees in Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
- Millions of Syrians and Iraqis are refugees in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon
- Thousands have fled Southern Sudan.
- Pray for the cleansing of the lands that have been defiled by the shedding of innocent blood.
- Pray that The Body of Christ will fully utilize the powerful weapon they have to take the word of GOD and stretch it out to any situation through proclamation. The most effective way to release His authority in any situation is to proclaim His word in faith and under anointing of the Holy Spirit. When we do this, His word has all the authority of YHVH in that situation.
