1. How can we escape the influence of Satan’s DNA, which was injected into man? Through repentance. When there is repentance, we take on an attitude that does not exist in the devil’s DNA. He does not know what repentance is. Seth and Enosh represent the resumption of the lineage according to God’s will. They recognized human weakness and repented, declaring that they did not want to follow the path of Cain’s lineage—arrogance, violence, presumption, and independence from God. Repentance is a change of direction; it is leaving Cain’s path (Gen. 4:16–26; Rom. 1:20–32; Rev. 20:1–10).
2. In Hebrew, the meaning of “to call upon” is “to call out loud, to cry out, to shout for help.” You only cry out for help when you realize there is no other solution or hope. In such a situation, there is no politeness or formality—only a desperate cry for help remains. “To call upon” carries a sense of humility, of recognizing one’s incapacity. When we acknowledge our insufficiency, we immediately cry out: “Lord, help! I need salvation! I cannot live without You!” “To call upon” is a desperate act of one’s seeking help and needing to be heard, not merely a religious ritual (Ps. 56:9–11, 13; Joel 2:32; Isa. 12:2–6; Ps. 18:6; 31:17; 116:4; 118:5).
3. Repentance is the way to salvation: it tears man away from connection with the devil. It is the first door of rescue opened to deliver us from the lineage of the brood of vipers and transfer us into another sphere—the kingdom of heaven. To repent is to be willing to break ties with Satan; to believe is to be willing to enter into the sphere of the kingdom of heaven through the gift of the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:15; Matt. 3:2; Acts 2:18, 38; 2 Cor. 7:9–10).
4. When we call upon the Lord with a pure heart, He hears and comes to help us. How many times does our soul need help?! It is the most fragile part of our being, and our emotions are often affected. But there is help for our soul. Call: “Oh Lord Jesus.” That “oh” begins a vocative expression—it shows that you are calling. Cry out: “Oh Lord Jesus, deliver my soul!” When you are going through tribulations, pressures, suffering, affliction —call upon the Lord. He will bring relief, joy, and comfort. Do not expect help from man; trust in the Lord and seek refuge only in Him (Ps. 118:5–9; Rom. 10:10–13).
5. Calling on the name of the Lord is the first step toward the salvation of our spirit. Once the spirit is saved, we are reconnected with Christ. Now, we must move forward to foment the salvation of our soul. Just as a cellphone or computer connects to the internet to receive messages, once we are connected to God through calling on the name of the Lord, we must immediately seek to receive His word for the transformation of our soul. It is through the washing of water by the word that we are sanctified and filled with God’s reality. Listen to and closely follow the Word, make transcriptions, proclaim the war cries, practice ultra-refined immersion, and create energization chambers (Rom. 10:17; 1 Pet. 1:6–9; Eph. 5:25–27).
