Can someone do this for me, and tell me what they get as a response?
I'm not sure if Jesus can be evoked or not.

Why would you want someone else to evoke Jesus for you? Why not do it yourself?

I think they evoke/invoke him everyday at Church with their prayers and songs.

I just want to see if He will be evoked like other gods/goddesses.
As for church - yeah, we do "evoke" him at church, but not to the point which most pagans evoke gods and goddesses: they can hear, feel, or sometimes even see their evokee. I want to know if someone evokes Jesus and can actually know of His prescence.

Well I'm sure Jesus could be evoked like any other god or goddess. But my question still remains, why would you like someone else to evoke him? Why not try it yourself?

He makes his presence known in your heart. . .
Also, you can pray for very specific things and given the answer is "yes" you will see a response - the trick is recognizing it. . .because sometimes the answers are subtle - goes along with the constant searching for God's presence in our lives. . .
I, personally pray to all three (YHWH, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit). I am not Catholic, so I don't pray the same way they do. . .and I do not recognize saints, especially as intercessories. . .

Well,I dont know what evoked means ,but I do know Christ is personall with a heart of gold,he isnt controlled by the whim of any,you ask him,talk to him,and he becomes your best friend,maybe he will answer your prayer,maybe he wont,but he is absolutely trustworthy.

To summon or call forth.

Ohhh,thanks,Hmmm,thats a good question I guess,My humble opinion is yes,(according to my faith)so long as you are alive,you can pray,but God has a way of waiting to answer you when ever he is ready,not when we want him to.God moves in his own time and in his own way,nobody can controll him,but we can move him through faith,and faith impresses him,as does love.

Hmm why don't you want to evoke Jesus yourself, Taurwen?

The only way you can answer that question for yourself is by doing it yourself. You can't have other people create an experience that is meant to be personal for you.

Yeah. Jesus really is someone you have to evoke yourself. He may go aid another person when someone asks him to, but generally if you want to call upon him, you in some way need to be fully involved in asking him to come to you, even if it is together with others asking in your presence and you waiting expectantly for him. But he is the type that can come like a thunderstorm or, most often, is the soft breeze behind the storm. I usually have to listen hard for him with my very spirit bared wide open, waiting and praying for him to approach and let me know he's there. With my cluttered worldly confused mind, I'm sure I've missed his presence very often, especially as of late, no matter how much I've prayed.
