fThe Effectual Call”
I stated, no preacher
►n five a sinner the ef
Pwtual call to come to
rVBw. Why not? Every
4nner is dead in trespasses
«nd sins, alienated from
God. Being dead, only the
I power of the God of resur
rection can make that sin
ner alive. When the effec
tual call comes, the sinner
is awakened to his lost
condition. When the Holy
Spirit opens that heart and
■bows you your lost condi
tion, it is the most startling
thing that ever happened to
you. You never dreamed of
your lost condition. Now
you have had some dreams
like 1 did before the Lord
awakened me to my lost
condition. When I became
troubled about my soul the
Devil immediately began
to work. He gave me
dreams of being lost but in
the end of the dream he’d
have me saved. He gave
me many of them. One of
them was so real I told one
of my school teachers
about it and this was her
reply: “You don’t have to
be worried about your little
soul.” That was from an
emissary of Satan. What a
trick the Devil was puling
on me. But when God gave
me the effectual calf* He
revealed to me I was lost
and had never been saved
even though I was most'
religious and was looked
upon as a model boy and
leader among the young
people. I was talking to a
woman there one Sunday
after a service and told her
I was not saved. Herreply
was; “you made profes
sion, didn’t you?” I said;
“Yes, but I’m not saved.”
She didn’t know what to do
with me. When the effec
tual call comes home to the
heart of a sinner in the
religious world, the church
members, including the
pastor, don’t know what to
do with that “disturbed
fellow.” Why? You’ve
never been there yourself.
The effectual call comes
from the portals of Heaven,
and praise the Lord that is
so. Salvation is a Divine
work of grace wrought in
tKelittft by the Holy Spi
rit. And when the call
eomefe from on High, you
cannot resist itc You will
try to get away from it, but
the Lord has the hook in
your Jaws. The more you
resist the call, the more
you And you capnot. It
——
Second in series
would be so much better if
you’d just surrender, you’d
get. saved quicker. In
salvation it is not the voice
of the preacher you hear,
but the Voice of the Son of
God. Have you heard the
Effectual Call, preacher?
Personal soul winner, so
called, have you heard the
Effectual Call? It was a
great day when I heard the
Effectual Call. I thank the
Lord I couldn’t resist that
caU. HI had, I’d be in HeU
today. In the Effectual CaU
the Holy Spirit shines the
light of the glorious gospel
of Christ into your heart,
(II Cor. 4.). It is He who
gives you life for the very
first time. Before this, you
didn’t know whom you
were. You thought you
were a Christian, but then
you see you -are not a
Christian. I'm talking
about a sinner coming
down the Way of Grace to
Christ. The reason you are
in rebellion and criticizing
is because you are a total
, stranger to the effectual
caU. But, effectually called
you wiU be or you are going
W' rteir withtwrwawaig.
Apart from the. effectual
caU you are on the road to
HeU without warning. This
caU is a warning. It is
different because it comes
from tite portals of glory.
This effectual or Divine
caU is the pivot from which
all other blessings flow.
Miss the call and you are
doomed forever. Now,
after the sinner receives
the call, what is he to do?
Now some earnest reli
gious soul will say; “all a
sinner has to do to be saved
it ‘believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ’ as Paul told
the Phillippian jailer. My
question to you is; how can
a sinner with a hard heart
of unbelief believe on the
Lord? He cannot. Practi
cally 100 percent of our
preachers will tell a sinner
who says he is lost; “just
trust Christ and you are
saved.” The blinded
preachers don’t know that
the awakened sinner strug
gles with a hard heart of
unbelief. You don’t know
that. When the sinner
receives the call he is
under Holy Spirit convic
tion. The blessed Holy
Spirit reveals ta him his
heart of unbelief. Have you
ever seen and felt the
weight of your heart of
unbelief? When I was
under Holy Spirit convic
tion I told someone that my
hard heart of unbelief was
so hard I couldn’t dent it
with a sledge hammer. Do
y<jG know-what I’m talking'
about? -
