Intro
Text - 2 Kings 2.11-15
Title - Calling God On The Scene
Illustration - the 911 emergency call
never busy line
help arrives within 10 minutes - anywhere
responds to all kinds of emergency needs
The Main Point
We have an open and never busy line direct to God
We can CALL on God
anytime of the day or night
anywhere we are in life
for any reason at all
God is inviting us to “call on Him”
He wants to answer your prayers!
God is not some anynomous person behind the line of 911
God is Someone who knows and understands us and our situations even before we call on Him!
He wants to show great and mighty things
calling God on the scene is an opportunity new things
God always does things in the supernatural
Just because He can!
because He is God - it is what is expected of Him!
but - God’s “immediate response” is NOT for everyone!
It’s for the true believer!
God says to the wicked…
It’s for the child of God
Jesus prioritized the children of the kingdom of God to a Greek woman
Illustration
children call less and less on their parents as they grow old
personal experiences
The Christian life is different -
as we grow up in the faith, we become more and more dependent on God!
Christian maturity brings us closer to God
Christian maturity is about making God more visible in life
It’s for the servant of God
Elisha claimed his privilege to call God on the scene!
he did not ask for Elijah - he was gone
he called on God to vindicate his call to the ministry
the other prophets knew the anointing is now on Elisha
still they wanted to Elijah
Ways we can call God on the scene
Prayer
Elijah prayed at Mount Carmel
It must a prayer of faith
A declaration of faith
Elisha declared his confidence in the God of Elijah
Joshua instructed the sun and the moon
Moses declared that the rebels will die in the most unlikely way - swallowed by the earth
A time of worship
Paul and Silas experienced delivered in a special way
Israel’s enemies were destroyed when Israel went to battle with the priests leading in worship
Conclusion
We need God “on the scene” today!
The present condition of the world is in dire need of the living presence of God
the world’s condition - reise and prevalence of evil
the churches’ condition - spiritual blindness, confusion, amnesia
the message churches’ condition
stuck in the life and times of the endtime Elijah!
afraid of discovering new and fresh “knowledge” from the Scripture - they would rather “say what the tape says”
contented on being tagged as “message believer” - there is no more hunger for the greater works of God
God’s children are becoming more independent of God!
message churches are less dependent on the Bible
message believers are less concerned with holiness, godliness and faithfulness!
When Christians are less dependent on God, it is not maturity, it is backsliding!
God is waiting for His people to call Him on the scene!
God wants to be on the scene in our lives!
that’s why He allowed the circumstances to happen
Song - Reach Out and Touch the Lord
