Call ME - Pastor Joel E. Gregory
Pastor Joel E. Gregory
“Call ME - Part 3”
Introduction:
Jeremiah 33:1-2 (NKJV)
Jeremiah was commanded to pray for great and mighty things from the confinement of prison. A rebellious king named Zedekiah attempted to stifle the prophet’s convicting pronouncements about the doom of Judah. This king would be the last before Babylon took the nation captive.
The LORD would command Jeremiah to pray and then back the command with His creative power (v. 2). Nothing is too hard for the LORD who established and made heaven and earth and everything in it. The LORD commands Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV)
- We must pray because God has the power to deliver what He promises!
- There is power in God’s position as Creator. This is why it is so necessary to obey His command to call upon Him.

1. His Position: “Call to Me!”
2. His Promise: “I will answer you!”
3. His Persuasion: “I will show you!”
What is it that God will show us? How shall He persuade us? The demonstration of God’s power unleashed through our prayer effort is supported around three categories of things:
a. Great things.
b. Mighty things.
c. Things we do not know.
c. Things you do not know - Nothing is Beyond the Abundance of God's Revelation.
How do you know?
- 1 Corinthians 2:6-12,16 (NKJV)
- 1 Corinthians 14:2 (NKJV)
- 1 Corinthians 14:2 (AMPC)
This final category is distinct from mighty things in that it speaks God's revelation to man. The more we call upon God the more He reveals of Himself. This is the abundance of God unmatched by any false rival. And it comes to those who pray!
Conclusion:
The great things, the mighty things, and the things you do not know persuade us that nothing is beyond the ability, access, and abundance of God. The power of God’s position enables His command to "Call" upon Him in prayer. The power of God’s promise assures His answer. The persuasion of great and mighty things which we do not know is unrivaled.
