FOR BELIEVERS
Something happened to me as a child that has stayed with me ever since. I think I was 13ish, my dad had a sickle cell crisis. He was in a lot of pain. Then on another occasion, his business was struggling and he needed a miracle.
I heard him just call the name of Jesus over and over and over. Sometimes audibly, sometimes under his breathe. He will switch and also call Jehovah. I was a child. It made an indelible impression on my heart. God came through miraculously for him every time. I can’t forget.
I’ve had times in my life when I couldn’t pray and the cloud was all I saw. But I didn’t forget those experiences of my Dad I witnessed. I do the same. I will call the name over and over. Again, no fancy prayer lines. I didn’t even have any. Just a desperate consistent call of that name. I pulled through. God came through.
There are times you’ll not know how to pray or what to pray. Times you’re too tired, too scared and maybe too angry. Don’t worry about not knowing what to pray, or whether you’re praying right, the Father already knows what you need.
One thing, you have to remember is the name JESUS. Call the name loudly or silently under your breathe, it doesn’t matter. No theatrics, no drama, no fancy lines, just call that name over and over. When we surrender, miracles happen and the sun shines again.
- The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run in and they’re saved. Proverbs 18:10
- For there’s no other name given under heaven by which man shall be saved. For at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess him as Lord. Acts 4:12
- Call unto me and I will show you great and mighty things. Jeremiah 33:3
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13
- But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” Acts 3:6
- And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11
That name is my anchor. It is a life hack! If you think you’re not qualified to call that name you’re wrong. By “Believers” above, I don’t mean Christians, I mean those who will believe in what I’m sharing. Christ’s sacrifice is done and available for the whole world (John 3:16) and it doesn’t matter what your religious affiliation or non-affiliation is. You’re a candidate for the help available in Jesus!
