Discover the life-changing power of calling on the name of Jesus. This sermon on “Call Upon His Name” reveals how His name brings salvation, healing, deliverance, and divine presence.
Throughout
the Bible, we are invited — even commanded — to call upon the name of the
Lord.
God’s name is not just a title; it represents His character, power, and
presence.
When we cry out “Jesus!”, heaven moves, chains break, and hearts are changed.
Psalm 50:15
says,
“Call upon
Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
To call
upon His name means to turn to God in every situation — not as a last
resort, but as our first response.
Whether in joy, pain, fear, or confusion, the answer is the same: Call upon
His name, and He will answer.
The Bible
tells us in Romans 10:13 —
“For
everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
This simple
yet profound truth reveals the heart of God — that His name carries power,
authority, mercy, and salvation. Calling upon His name isn’t just about saying
“Jesus” — it’s about invoking His presence, trusting His power, and
surrendering to His will.
There is
power, healing, and hope in one name — Jesus. The Bible reminds us that
when we call upon His name, He listens, answers, and rescues. His name is not
an ordinary name; it carries heaven’s authority and brings divine
transformation to our lives.
Today, let us dive deep into what it truly means to Call Upon His Name
and how it can change our hearts and destinies forever.
1. Call
Upon His Name for Salvation
📖 Romans 10:13 – “Everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Salvation
begins with a call.
No one is too far gone that God cannot reach them.
When you cry out to Jesus with a sincere heart, He forgives, restores, and
redeems.
The thief on
the cross called out, “Lord, remember me” — and in that moment, eternity
changed for him.
You don’t need fancy words or religious titles — just faith in your heart and
the name of Jesus on your lips.
The first
step to salvation is recognizing that we cannot save ourselves. When we call
upon Jesus, we invite His redeeming grace to wash over us. No matter your past,
your shame, or your mistakes — when you cry out “Lord Jesus, save me,” He hears
and responds immediately.
Think about
the thief on the cross. In his last moments, he called upon the name of Jesus
and was promised paradise (Luke 23:42-43). That’s the saving power of
His name!
Salvation
doesn’t come from our efforts but from Jesus Christ alone. When you call upon
His name with faith, you receive forgiveness, grace, and eternal life.
Remember the
thief on the cross — one simple call, “Lord, remember me,” and Jesus promised
him paradise.
➡️ Application:
If you want new life, forgiveness, and hope — call upon His name today.
Jesus still saves, still forgives, still welcomes sinners home.
Don’t wait
for the perfect moment — call upon Him now. He’s closer than you think,
ready to forgive and restore your heart.
No matter
your past, it’s never too late to call on Jesus. One prayer can change your
eternity.
2. Call
Upon His Name for Strength
📖 Isaiah 40:29 – “He gives power to
the faint and increases the strength of the weak.”
There are
moments when life drains you — when you feel tired, broken, or alone.
But when you whisper the name “Jesus”, strength rises in your spirit.
David cried
out in the wilderness; Elijah prayed under a tree of despair; Paul called on
God in prison — and every time, God gave strength.
➡️ Application:
When your energy runs out, call on Jesus — the One who renews your spirit.
You may be weak, but His power is made perfect in your weakness.
3. Call
Upon His Name for Healing
📖 Psalm 107:20 – “He sent His word
and healed them.”
The name of
Jesus carries healing power.
Blind eyes opened, lepers were cleansed, and the dead were raised — all in His
name.
And that same power is alive today.
Healing may
come instantly, gradually, or spiritually — but God always responds to faith.
➡️ Application:
If your body, heart, or soul is hurting — call upon His name.
Pray not just for healing, but for wholeness — physical, emotional, and
spiritual.
There is
healing in the name of Jesus!
4. Call
Upon His Name for Deliverance
📖 Psalm 34:17 – “The righteous cry
out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.”
There are
invisible chains — fear, addiction, anxiety, or sin — that hold many captive.
But there is freedom in the name of Jesus.
When Peter
was sinking in the water, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” and Jesus reached out
immediately.
No matter how deep you’ve fallen, His hand can still pull you out.
Scripture: Psalm 50:15
“Call upon
Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
When trouble comes — sickness, fear, danger, or despair — God invites us to call
upon Him. The moment we do, heaven’s armies move on our behalf. God never
ignores a desperate cry from a faithful heart.
The
Israelites cried out under Egyptian slavery — and God raised up Moses. Jonah
cried out from the belly of the fish — and God brought him to dry land. Paul
and Silas called on the name of the Lord in prison — and the chains broke,
doors opened, and freedom came.
When life
seems impossible, when fear grips your heart, God says: Call upon Me!
His name carries deliverance.
Paul and Silas prayed in prison, calling upon Jesus — and the doors opened,
chains broke, and freedom came.
➡️ Application:
When the enemy attacks your peace, call upon Jesus — your Deliverer.
Speak His name boldly, and darkness must flee.
Whatever
bondage or fear is holding you — cry out, “Jesus!” He can still break chains
today. His name still heals, restores, and rescues those who believe.
Whatever
binds you — addiction, anxiety, or guilt — speak His name. The same Jesus who
set captives free still works miracles today.
5. Call
Upon His Name in Worship
📖 Psalm 145:18 – “The Lord is near
to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
Calling on
the Lord isn’t only for desperate moments — it’s for daily devotion.
When you worship and call upon His name in thanksgiving, you invite His
presence into your life.
True worship
is not about music or mood — it’s about connection.
When you lift up His name in praise, heaven responds.
➡️ Application:
Start your mornings and end your nights calling upon His name — in gratitude,
in song, and in prayer.
When His name is on your lips, peace fills your heart.
6. The
Name Above All Names
Scripture: Philippians 2:9–10
“Therefore
God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…”
Scripture: Philippians 2:9–10
“Therefore
God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every
name.”
Explanation:
The name “Jesus” means “The Lord saves.” This name carries divine
authority, unmatched power, and eternal hope. When we call upon Jesus, we are
not calling upon an ordinary name; we are declaring the Lordship of the Son of
God over every situation.
Every
sickness, sin, fear, and demonic power must bow to His name. When you speak
“Jesus,” heaven moves, hell trembles, and peace fills your soul.
The name
“Jesus” means The Lord Saves. Every knee must bow to this name — in
heaven, on earth, and even under the earth. When you speak His name, fear
disappears, peace enters, and miracles begin.
Application:
When life becomes too heavy to carry — speak His name. When you are confused or
anxious — whisper His name. His presence will meet you right where you are.
When life
feels heavy, whisper “Jesus.” When you feel lost or anxious, call His name. His
presence will bring light to your darkness.
7. Calling
Upon His Name Invites His Presence
Scripture: Matthew 18:20
“For where
two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Explanation:
Calling upon Jesus brings His tangible presence into our environment. Worship
becomes powerful when it’s centered on His name. Prayer becomes effective when
it’s made in His name. Miracles happen when His name is lifted high.
His name
isn’t a magic word — it’s a doorway to divine communion. When you say “Jesus,”
you’re not just speaking into the air — you’re entering into His holy presence
where peace, love, and strength overflow.
When we call
on the name of Jesus, His presence fills the room. His name brings peace to
chaos and healing to broken hearts. It transforms ordinary moments into holy
encounters.
Application:
Make it a habit to invite His name into every area of your life — your home,
your work, your relationships, and your decisions. His presence will transform
everything around you.
Invite Jesus
into your home, your family, and your work. His name changes the atmosphere
wherever it’s spoken.
8. Calling
Upon His Name Is a Lifestyle
Scripture: Colossians 3:17
“And
whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Explanation:
Calling upon Jesus is not just for emergencies; it’s a way of living. Every
action, word, and decision should be done in His name. That means we walk in
integrity, humility, and love — representing Christ in everything we do.
When we live
in His name, we carry His light into dark places. We become His hands and feet
on earth — spreading hope, healing, and grace.
Calling upon
Jesus is not just for emergencies; it’s a daily lifestyle. Every action, word,
and decision should glorify His name. Living in His name means walking in
faith, love, and obedience every day.
Application:
Let “Jesus” be the center of your day. Begin your morning by calling on His
name and end your day with thanksgiving in His name. Live so that people see
Jesus through your life.
Start and
end your day with the name of Jesus on your lips. Let His name guide your steps
and fill your heart with purpose.
9. The
Power of Collective Calling
Scripture: Joel 2:32
“And it
shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be
saved.”
Explanation:
When communities unite in calling upon the name of the Lord, revival happens.
Throughout history, every great move of God began with people crying out to
Jesus in unity and faith.
When the
church calls on His name together — strongholds fall, hearts are healed, and
nations are changed.
When God’s
people unite and call upon His name together, revival happens. Every great
spiritual awakening began with believers crying out to Jesus in prayer. His
name has the power to heal nations and restore communities.
Application:
Pray with your family, friends, and church. Call on His name for your city,
your nation, and the world. The world is longing for hope — and His name is the
answer.
Gather your
family, friends, or church and call on His name together. Pray for your city
and your country — because when we call, God responds.
