Favor Called And God Heard

I. EXORDIUM:

Hannah or "channah" in Hebrew meaning "favored". The ALEPH-TAV, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the ALPHA and OMEGA's signature was placed after the word "called" giving it emphasis and special meaning "invite, preach, pronounce, proclaim, publish, read". Samuel or "shemuel" in Hebrew meaning "heard of GOD"

Thus our title came into being, Favor Called, Heard of GOD. or Called favor, GOD heard or Favor Called, GOD heard. The LORD JESUS CHRIST who does the calling or praying to GOD on behalf of Hannah was heard of GOD.

GOD wanted us to know and learn that our prayers are heard of GOD because of the LORD JESUS that intercedes on our behalf.

Romans 8:34 (Amplified Bible)

Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

Nothing can be closer to GOD as JESUS is because He is seated at the right hand of GOD, and He's the SON OF GOD, not a mere servant, and when He intercedes for us, He actually pleads. Will His prayers be heard? Of course, all His prayers on earth are heard of GOD, how much more when He's seated in Heaven, praying and letting GOD does something.

Hebrews 9:24 (Amplified Bible)

For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands, only a copy and pattern and type of the true one, but [He has entered] into heaven itself, now to appear in the [very] presence of God on our behalf.

1 John 2:1-2 (Amplified Bible)

MY LITTLE children, I write you these things so that you may not violate God’s law and sin. But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father—[it is] Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father’s will in every purpose, thought, and action].
