Notice the Lord says, Call on Me, believing. That means we call in the Spirit of faith expecting Him to respond. Then notice He said He will respond to the voice of His Word through us. Too often believers call upon the Lord but in the same way they did as sinners, with a sense of unworthiness and panic. If we pray that way, our prayer is diminished in effectiveness and I dare say may be useless altogether. Unworthiness was wiped out at the Cross and we were re-created in His image. So we don’t come to the Lord with a sense of inferiority but boldly with unquestionable submission to His lordship. Sin consciousness is diminishing but righteousness in submission is empowering. With that in mind, let’s continue to look at the instructions received in the word from the Lord: 'You must come to Me, you must approach Me, you must know Me and you must know My ways. You see, the authority that I have given you is not an authority of your own. Remember Jesus said in His earthly ministry that “My authority is not My own. I speak only what I hear Him (the Father) speak. I do only what I see Him (the Father) do….” Do you not understand that you are in your earthly ministry? You now must walk in your earthly ministry the same as He walked in His earthly ministry. You must listen for My voice, but to hear My voice, you must know My voice. You must be acquainted with the things that I say. You must be acquainted with the things that I do. All that you need to know for the future is recorded in My Word as records of the past. For everything that I have done in the past is quick and alive for your present and it will be quick and alive in your future. [Think on this statement. And remember, His Word is alive!] If you will walk with Me, if you will seek My ways, if you seek My counsel, if you will seek Me in all you say, seek Me in all you do, then I will show you My ways and My words by My Spirit. Then My words and My ways will become My miracles. And My words and My ways will become My outstanding signs for this hour, and they will become the signs and miracles for this hour through you and through your earthly ministry.' What marvelous promises! Let’s hear and heed the great cry of the Spirit to 'Call on Me!' The Word of God clearly calls us all to prayer, and the Holy Spirit has spoken to us and said, 'Call on Me!' The world is crying out. The Church is crying out. If you’ll listen, you’ll know that your own heart is crying out for those streams of the Spirit to flow through your spirit, your soul and your body, just as powerfully as in the early days of the Church. We want God and the nature of His Being to flood us until we sound like, act like and are like Jesus, the Anointed One. If we will but call upon Him and then seek out His ways through prayer and His Word, He will not only answer us with the greatest awakening the world has seen, but He will do it through us!
