- 2:58Speaker 2: got that out of the way, today we're gonna start
- 3:03Speaker 2: chapter two in the Book of Jonah. Chapter two in
- 3:08Speaker 2: the Book of Jonah. So for a little background. In
- 3:14Speaker 2: verse one, we went through the first chapter. He saw
- 3:18Speaker 2: that God has a calling on this prophet, on Jonah's life,
- 3:25Speaker 2: and this should encourage us. If God can use a Jonah,
- 3:28Speaker 2: a man that ran from the call of God with
- 3:32Speaker 2: all of his might. Right he ran. He wanted to
- 3:34Speaker 2: go to the opposite side of the planet. He went
- 3:38Speaker 2: down to Joppa, he paid for a ship to go
- 3:41Speaker 2: to Tarshis, fleeing from the Lord because he did not
- 3:46Speaker 2: want to do what God called him to do. So
- 3:49Speaker 2: this is a very interesting book. We saw that this
- 3:53Speaker 2: prophet was stubborn and God has to use some drastic
- 3:58Speaker 2: measures to turn it them, turn them around. God knew
- 4:01Speaker 2: that he would get him to a point of obedience,
- 4:05Speaker 2: but he had to work with them. And so we
- 4:09Speaker 2: should all be able to relate to that. Right, we
- 4:12Speaker 2: should all be able to relate to the fact that
- 4:14Speaker 2: God is working with us. We've been a little difficult,
- 4:17Speaker 2: maybe even more than a little for him to work with.
- 4:22Speaker 2: But I believe through this podcast all that can change.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I'm praying against the stubbornness that's in me. You know,
- 4:30Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I'll be transparent. I know I
- 4:32Speaker 2: got some stubborn spots and I'm praying through the Holy
- 4:36Speaker 2: Spirit that God will break that and help us through
- 4:40Speaker 2: this chapter and man, as we see it in the
- 4:44Speaker 2: life of Job, We're gonna look into it. And so
- 4:49Speaker 2: Job fellas this tripped me out. He was down here
- 4:52Speaker 2: sleeping while this ship was being torn apart, and the
- 4:56Speaker 2: sailors and all these guys they're throwing stuff overboard. They're
- 4:59Speaker 2: panic and they wake him up, like what are you doing?
- 5:02Speaker 2: And they like gave him the third degree. He's like,
- 5:05Speaker 2: who is your family? And who are your people? Where
- 5:07Speaker 2: you come from? Like call out to your God? Like
- 5:11Speaker 2: these men were traumatized. And then finally Jonah exposed the
- 5:17Speaker 2: fact that he was a Hebrew and he served the
- 5:20Speaker 2: chewing living God and he's the reason why the sea
- 5:24Speaker 2: is about to swallow him up. So these men fear God. Man.
- 5:28Speaker 2: They through Jonah overboard, but they prayed and they asked
- 5:32Speaker 2: God for forgiveness, like they vowed to God. These men
- 5:37Speaker 2: got touched. So even in his disobedience, God still got
- 5:41Speaker 2: the glory. The gospel went forth like they saw the
- 5:47Speaker 2: power of God. And God used these unbelievers to rebuke them.
- 5:53Speaker 2: You know, they're like why would you do this? Like
- 5:55Speaker 2: why are you running from the Lord? And sometimes that
- 5:58Speaker 2: don't happen to us. You know, we're God's people, were
- 6:01Speaker 2: serving God. We're the ones who they're supposed to shine
- 6:04Speaker 2: a light or whatever. But once we go astray or
- 6:09Speaker 2: we're struggling in an area. Sometimes an unbeliever, some unbeliever
- 6:14Speaker 2: in your job, they seem to know more about what
- 6:17Speaker 2: you're supposed to be doing than you do. Like you're
- 6:19Speaker 2: not supposed to be doing that. You're supposed to be
- 6:21Speaker 2: a Christian. I know that's happened to me, But it's
- 6:28Speaker 2: all good. God loves us. So let's pray. Family, Father,
- 6:34Speaker 2: we thank you Father for another opportunity, Father God, to
- 6:39Speaker 2: create this content, to be able to go through your word,
- 6:42Speaker 2: Oh God, to be able to broadcast it. And we pray,
- 6:46Speaker 2: Oh God, that this will be able to bless as
- 6:49Speaker 2: many people that will hear it, Oh God, every year
- 6:53Speaker 2: that will hear it, Oh God, let them be blessed,
- 6:56Speaker 2: let them be touched. We ask Father, God, to be
- 6:59Speaker 2: faithful to your word, and Father, allow your word to
- 7:03Speaker 2: work in us, to be ingrafted in us. And we
- 7:07Speaker 2: thank you in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. All right, well,
- 7:14Speaker 2: let's break it down. We're gonna go ahead and start
- 7:18Speaker 2: off with chapter one the Book of Jonah. It says
- 7:29Speaker 2: in Jonah prayed to the Lord is God from the
- 7:34Speaker 2: fish's belly. All right, now, God prepared this huge fish
- 7:43Speaker 2: to swallow him up. It is not too difficult for God. Amen. Now,
- 7:53Speaker 2: Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God from the belly
- 8:01Speaker 2: of the fish. When the fish is belly. Now, Now,
- 8:06Speaker 2: Jonah's first instinct was to pray. Actually, let me say
- 8:14Speaker 2: that again. It wasn't to pray, That's what I'm trying
- 8:22Speaker 2: to say. His first instinct was not to pray because
- 8:26Speaker 2: he was so stubborn. He ran from God. He resisted God.
- 8:31Speaker 2: He was willing to die. Really, he had like a
- 8:35Speaker 2: death wish. He did not want to go to Nineveh.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Right when he was asking the people to throw him overboard,
- 8:42Speaker 2: he thought it was over. They thought that they were
- 8:45Speaker 2: killing him. He was saying in his heart, I'd rather
- 8:50Speaker 2: die than to do what the Lord is calling me
- 8:53Speaker 2: to do. I mean, you got to look at the scripture,
- 8:58Speaker 2: you got to look at the truth behind this. But
- 9:02Speaker 2: when he did hit rock bottom, when he got a
- 9:04Speaker 2: little taste of it, literally in the belly of the fish,
- 9:10Speaker 2: he finally turned to prayer. He's, oh, I don't want
- 9:13Speaker 2: none of this. It took him three days before he
- 9:16Speaker 2: cried out to the Lord. And sometimes God has to
- 9:20Speaker 2: allow us to these tight spaces to get our attention
- 9:26Speaker 2: to wake us up. How many times do we try
- 9:31Speaker 2: everything else before we pray?
- 9:34Speaker 3: Right?
- 9:35Speaker 2: Jonah resisted this. Now, Jonah, he reminds us of us
- 9:43Speaker 2: a lot of us. Right. But the truth is, you
- 9:47Speaker 2: can't outrun God's calling on your life. He can't outrun it.
- 9:54Speaker 2: But he can always cry out to him. We can
- 10:00Speaker 2: always cry out to our God. Amen. Verse two. And
- 10:07Speaker 2: he said, I cried out to the Lord because of
- 10:11Speaker 2: my affliction. And he answered me, hallelujah. We sing a
- 10:17Speaker 2: song in church and says, I cry out to the Lord,
- 10:21Speaker 2: and he heard me, and he answered me, that's why
- 10:25Speaker 2: I love him. I mean, that's an amazing song. Now,
- 10:31Speaker 2: how many of us have been in the place where
- 10:33Speaker 2: we've cried out to the Lord And he answered, hallelujah.
- 10:40Speaker 2: It actually happened for me right before this podcast. I
- 10:42Speaker 2: was crying out to God and I received a breakthrough.
- 10:46Speaker 2: God is so good. Amen. It's our time, our quiet
- 10:51Speaker 2: time in prayer. It's the time of crying out. Is
- 10:55Speaker 2: where we're going to get our breakthrough, our deliverance. Jonah
- 11:00Speaker 2: had enough sense to at least cry out, and he
- 11:04Speaker 2: was in the belly of the fish. Now, it is
- 11:07Speaker 2: not a like thing that God hurt him. He heard
- 11:10Speaker 2: him in that place. Amen, for you cast me verse two,
- 11:26Speaker 2: and I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
- 11:29Speaker 2: and he answered me. Out of the belly of shoe,
- 11:33Speaker 2: I cried, and you heard my voice. Now joining lichens
- 11:38Speaker 2: the fish's belly as shoe s h e o l
- 11:42Speaker 2: shawl sell. It's a Hebrew word for grave, for the
- 11:48Speaker 2: pit of the place of the dead. Now he thought
- 11:52Speaker 2: he was finished, yet God still hurt him. Sometimes life
- 12:00Speaker 2: can feel like the grave depression. We can get here
- 12:05Speaker 2: with depression. We make mistakes. Then we start dealing with
- 12:12Speaker 2: rejection and everything. It feels final, like our feelings. It
- 12:20Speaker 2: feels like we're never gonna get out of this.
- 12:23Speaker 4: It looks like you lost another one.
- 12:24Speaker 2: It feels like this is it for us. God hears
- 12:33Speaker 2: us even from our lowest point. When we say this again,
- 12:39Speaker 2: even and our lowest point, Guy's ear is still open
- 12:45Speaker 2: to us, say man. Verse three, For you cast me
- 12:49Speaker 2: into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and
- 12:56Speaker 2: the floods surrounded me. All your billows in your waves
- 13:04Speaker 2: passed me over. Amen. Notice Jonah recognizes Guy's hand in
- 13:16Speaker 2: this situation, even though it was the sellers that threw
- 13:20Speaker 2: them overboard. Jonah says, you cast me. Now he knows
- 13:24Speaker 2: about the sovereignty of God. Now this is a sign
- 13:29Speaker 2: of maturity on Jonah's behalf, seeing that even discipline is
- 13:34Speaker 2: from God's love. Sometimes the waves were drowning in are
- 13:41Speaker 2: the very waves that God will use us to push
- 13:46Speaker 2: us towards obedience. Sometimes we have to deal with that.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Sometimes we have to go through these situations so that
- 13:56Speaker 2: we can learn to obey. And Beloved, the quicker the learn,
- 14:02Speaker 2: the better off we will be a man. We don't
- 14:05Speaker 2: have to go through the school of hard knocks. We
- 14:08Speaker 2: can learn it now. We can learn it from Jonah
- 14:11Speaker 2: so that we don't have to go through it. And
- 14:14Speaker 2: I think it's actually pretty significant that right here Jonah
- 14:21Speaker 2: is actually quoting the Book of Psalms. He's talking about
- 14:26Speaker 2: the bellows have come over me and all this like
- 14:29Speaker 2: Jonah had a great working knowledge of the Word of God.
- 14:34Speaker 2: He's quoting scripture. He's crying out to the Lord in
- 14:38Speaker 2: his deepest, darkest moment in this story. All right, let's
- 14:47Speaker 2: go to verse four. Then I said, I have been
- 14:52Speaker 2: cast out of your sight. Yet I will look again
- 14:56Speaker 2: towards your holy temple. The water surrounded me, even to
- 15:04Speaker 2: my soul, the deep closed around me. These were wrapped
- 15:10Speaker 2: around my head. Wow, this is an amazing story right here,
- 15:18Speaker 2: right now. In despair, Jonah felt like he was a castaway,
- 15:28Speaker 2: but in faith he looked back towards God's temple. Now,
- 15:34Speaker 2: I wonder how did he know what direction the temple
- 15:37Speaker 2: was in? In the bellies fish right, But in his heart,
- 15:41Speaker 2: his heart posture was looking at the temple, and the
- 15:45Speaker 2: temple was a symbol of God's presence. God's presence is amazing. Like,
- 15:52Speaker 2: I don't want to be anywhere where his presence isn't
- 15:55Speaker 2: a man. I don't want to cause his presence to
- 15:59Speaker 2: leave me. I felt it before, but I don't ever
- 16:05Speaker 2: want to feel that again. I know what it's like now.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Feelings will lie. You may feel abandoned, but faith looks
- 16:15Speaker 2: up every time. We have to look, and we have
- 16:19Speaker 2: to hold on to our faith. No matter how far
- 16:21Speaker 2: you run, you can look back to God. You can
- 16:26Speaker 2: look back, and He is willing and able to receive us.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Say man, all right, let's take verse five and six.
- 16:40Speaker 2: The water surrounded me, even to my soul, the deep
- 16:47Speaker 2: closed over me. Weeds were wrapped around my head. I
- 16:53Speaker 2: went down to the morning of the mountains, the earth
- 16:59Speaker 2: with its bars close behind me forever. Yet you have
- 17:04Speaker 2: brought my life from the pit, Oh Lord, my God, hallelujah.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Now that is worthy to be praised right now, when
- 17:17Speaker 2: God brings his soul from the pit. You just don't
- 17:21Speaker 2: know how amazing that is, how significant that is. We
- 17:25Speaker 2: need God to bring us from the pit like that is.
- 17:29Speaker 2: We need to make that one of our daily prayers. Now,
- 17:37Speaker 2: Jonah right here, he paints a very vivid picture right
- 17:42Speaker 2: seaweed around his head. I can just imagine that, you know,
- 17:47Speaker 2: sinking into the roots of the mountains. Now, he thought
- 17:54Speaker 2: it was over, but he declares God's rescue. Now, family,
- 18:02Speaker 2: don't miss it. Don't miss this. God rescues us from
- 18:06Speaker 2: the pit. Like I said a minute ago. Now, if
- 18:12Speaker 2: he can bring Jonah up from the bottom of the sea,
- 18:17Speaker 2: he can bring you out of depression. He can bring
- 18:22Speaker 2: you out of addiction, He can bring you out of sin.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Whatever pit that you're falling in, he can bring you
- 18:33Speaker 2: out of it. He specializes in that we just read
- 18:36Speaker 2: in the Book of Romans. He specializes and making the
- 18:42Speaker 2: ungodly righteous right. That's his heart's desire. All right, Let's
- 18:54Speaker 2: go to verse seven. When my soul fainted with then
- 19:00Speaker 2: me I remembered the Lord, and my prayer went up
- 19:05Speaker 2: to you into your holy temple. Amen. Amen. Now sometimes
- 19:17Speaker 2: we wait until our soul is famed. Right, We wait
- 19:21Speaker 2: till we come to the end of us, until it's
- 19:25Speaker 2: the very end, the end of our strength, the end
- 19:28Speaker 2: of our wit. And then at that time we want
- 19:32Speaker 2: to remember God. Right, that's when we want to cry
- 19:37Speaker 2: out and remember. And still he hears us. He's actually
- 19:45Speaker 2: waiting for us to come to ourselves, come to the
- 19:49Speaker 2: end of ourselves. He's waiting for that moment. But let's
- 19:53Speaker 2: not wait until we're feigning. Let's build a habit of
- 19:58Speaker 2: remembering God daily and strength and in weaknesses. Amen. I
- 20:06Speaker 2: don't remember him every day, and not just what I'm
- 20:10Speaker 2: in need, all right. Verse eight. Those who regard worthless
- 20:19Speaker 2: idols forsake their own mercy. Now this is big. He's
- 20:24Speaker 2: talking about the false gods. He's talking about false idols. Amen. Now, Jonah,
- 20:37Speaker 2: he will He's contrast the idols with God's mercy. To
- 20:42Speaker 2: fidal idols is to forfeit the mercy of God. You
- 20:49Speaker 2: forfeit them. Just think think about that when you follow
- 20:53Speaker 2: an idol, when you worship a different God. That's why
- 21:01Speaker 2: it's important to understand and know what you believe. That's
- 21:07Speaker 2: why there are so many religions in the world, because
- 21:12Speaker 2: when you worship an idol or a false God, the
- 21:15Speaker 2: mercies of God are forfeited. And that's the plan and
- 21:19Speaker 2: that's the strategy of our adversary today. Idols aren't just
- 21:28Speaker 2: statues their pride. Idol could be money, fame, a phone,
- 21:36Speaker 2: you can even be ministry, it can be family. Don't
- 21:40Speaker 2: trade God's mercy or something that is worthless, and anything
- 21:48Speaker 2: compared to God is worthless. That should be a memory
- 21:53Speaker 2: scripture right there. Hey man, but I will sacrifice to
- 22:05Speaker 2: you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay what
- 22:11Speaker 2: I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. Hallelujah. Now
- 22:24Speaker 2: Jonah's shifts from despair to thanksgiving. Now he declares the
- 22:32Speaker 2: core of the Gospel, Salvation is of the Lord. Like
- 22:38Speaker 2: if the Bible had a mission statement, this will be it.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Salvation is of the Lord. Salvation isn't in hustling. It's
- 22:49Speaker 2: not in the hustle. It's not found in our cultures.
- 22:54Speaker 2: It's not in culture. It is in the Lord alone.
- 22:59Speaker 2: That's all we need to He can. We need to
- 23:00Speaker 2: abide in him. We need to be in the Lord.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Jonah finally surrendered in so much we we gotta stop
- 23:10Speaker 2: being stubborn, we gotta stop resisting verse ten. So the
- 23:18Speaker 2: Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah and
- 23:24Speaker 2: took dry land. Amen. Now amazes me that it took
- 23:30Speaker 2: Jonah three days to cry out. Like I would have
- 23:33Speaker 2: been repenting on my way down off the ship. I'd
- 23:39Speaker 2: have been like, oh, one day is enough, Like you
- 23:42Speaker 2: want to stay two more days in this situation before
- 23:47Speaker 2: you cry out to the Lord and you get spat
- 23:52Speaker 2: out in this situation. Now, this shows us how God
- 23:59Speaker 2: can in creation as well. He prepared the fish. He
- 24:04Speaker 2: spoke to the fish, and the fish obeyed him. When
- 24:08Speaker 2: the fish was more obedient than Jonah in this story,
- 24:11Speaker 2: he obeyed him immediately. Just imagine if the fish swam
- 24:15Speaker 2: to Joppa or try to swim the Tarsus and not
- 24:20Speaker 2: obey the voice of the Lord, like Jonah would have died.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Jonah would not have made it. Ain't God. These animals
- 24:28Speaker 2: don't act like humans. Amen. Now listen, when God's not
- 24:37Speaker 2: finished with you, he'll put you back on track. Jonah
- 24:45Speaker 2: got a second chance, And if you're listen to the
- 24:52Speaker 2: sound of my voice, I'm willing to say that you
- 24:56Speaker 2: have a second chance as well. He's given me second chances.
- 25:00Speaker 2: He's given me more than just a second chance. He's
- 25:05Speaker 2: given me fifth six seven. But do not take that
- 25:13Speaker 2: for granted. Now is the time to get right with
- 25:17Speaker 2: God and stop with all this stubbornness. All right, y'all,
- 25:24Speaker 2: let's take a quick break.
- 25:25Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas.
- 25:28Speaker 2: This is the hiss hop radio show.
- 25:50Speaker 4: I'm gonna crash out. Yeah, they want to own me.
- 25:54Speaker 4: I like him better when he wasn't a phrase. We're
- 25:56Speaker 4: exposed to be careful what you've been wishing for? What
- 25:59Speaker 4: they are riches for everybody want real music. So what
- 26:02Speaker 4: you listen to them? Which is, oh why do you
- 26:04Speaker 4: do that? Which one of them are?
- 26:05Speaker 3: Which? All of them?
- 26:07Speaker 4: And every time that we singing the lyrics, we don't
- 26:09Speaker 4: even know that were calling them entertaining the devil, giving
- 26:12Speaker 4: him out with emotions. Whenever you sing it with all
- 26:14Speaker 4: that emotion, might as well mixed emotion with craft. Forgive me,
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's funny that when I'm not talking crazy. They don't
- 26:22Speaker 4: hear me. It don't matter. I'm still gonna aim persecution.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Come with the game. I'd rather that than be in
- 26:26Speaker 4: them flames.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Every day.
- 26:27Speaker 4: I'm gonna lift his name, Jesus Christ, but I gotta
- 26:31Speaker 4: put my kids away. Can't even watch a movie. They

- 35:58Speaker 2: is something that community can benefit from. Actually is needed,
- 36:03Speaker 2: it is needed, and it's the will of God. I
- 36:07Speaker 2: know for a fact that God desires this. So amen,
- 36:14Speaker 2: if you want to support, that's where we go. All right, well,
- 36:21Speaker 2: it's about time to wrap this up. The Book of
- 36:26Speaker 2: Jonah is actually not that big. We're almost halfway through
- 36:29Speaker 2: this book, and I pray that we're going to get
- 36:33Speaker 2: out all everything that the Lord wants us to get.
- 36:42Speaker 2: But let me go ahead and say this. We just
- 36:47Speaker 2: walked through the Book of Jonah, Chapter two, Jonah's prayer
- 36:51Speaker 2: from the Deep. Now, remember, salvation is of the Lord.
- 36:58Speaker 2: That's his prayer. This is Jonah's confession. Salvation is not
- 37:04Speaker 2: any other thing, and the ingrafted word of God is
- 37:10Speaker 2: able to save our souls. We need to live a
- 37:13Speaker 2: life that is pleasing to God. It's not about us,
- 37:17Speaker 2: it's not about anyone else. Amen. So let's go with
- 37:23Speaker 2: that confession. And if you want to make Jesus your Lord,
- 37:28Speaker 2: this is your heart's desire, then I want to close
- 37:33Speaker 2: out in a prayer so that you can't receive him
- 37:40Speaker 2: at this moment. Turn off the TV, turn off the radio,
- 37:45Speaker 2: whatever you got going, you move all distraction and just
- 37:49Speaker 2: give your heart and your full attention over to the Lord.
- 37:54Speaker 2: And in your voice cry out and say, Heavenly Father,
- 37:59Speaker 2: I come, as I have sinned against you and against
- 38:04Speaker 2: heaven Father, I ask for your forgiveness. Make me your child,
- 38:16Speaker 2: Train me up in the way of the Lord, so
- 38:18Speaker 2: that will not depart from it. Wash me by your blood.
- 38:25Speaker 2: I put my faith in Jesus Christ. I believe he
- 38:28Speaker 2: died on the cross, and I believe he rose again
- 38:31Speaker 2: on the third day, and I believe that he is
- 38:35Speaker 2: able to forgive me of my sin. Amen. Amen. If
- 38:43Speaker 2: you pray that, let us know, let us know. In
- 38:46Speaker 2: the life chat. The Bible says that if we confessed
- 38:50Speaker 2: with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus
- 38:54Speaker 2: rose again, then we shall be saved. Amen. Even the
- 39:01Speaker 2: angels in heaven are rejoicing over one sinner who repents.
- 39:06Speaker 2: And this is just the beginning of the journey. You
- 39:08Speaker 2: need to be discipled, you need to mature in your
- 39:10Speaker 2: walk with the Lord. So make sure you let us
- 39:13Speaker 2: know in the Life Chat, reach out to us, find
- 39:16Speaker 2: a Bible believing church and get that fellowship. Hallelujah. No
- 39:25Speaker 2: matter what you're dealing with, you might be in a deep,
- 39:27Speaker 2: dark pit. God is able to rescue you. All right, y'all,
- 39:35Speaker 2: Well that's my time. I appreciate y'all, and remember it's
- 39:42Speaker 2: not about us, It's all about the Christ in us.
