I heard an analogy, back in the day, of the “calling on the Lord” teaching something like incessantly calling someone who is already there. I.e., a mom who keeps calling “Johnny Johnny Johnny!” And Johnny says “Mom! I’m right here in front of you!” Yet Mom continues to “call”.

Remember “just call Oh Lord…he’ll change your life” ? The truth is, you’ll change your own life when you obey his voice.

The “calling” teaching, is little more than a chant for you to figure out how often, how long, and how to get it right.

I also remember people calling on the Lord AT me when I didn’t fall in line with the protocol. Aka shunning. In today’s context, a weaponized teaching. I remember X-Ray Graver sitting in the front row, head down, “moaning on the Lord”.

I don’t “call” any more. I talk to him a lot. I listen to him. I listen for him. I ask questions. I obey him.
