Our world longs for peace, but the peace we need cannot be obtained through anything in this world, nor can it be obtained solely by our efforts alone. The peace we need is a supernatural peace that is imputed to us by Jesus Christ.

Our God is the Lord of Hosts, the one who has ultimate authority over the heavens and the earth. He is able to do all things, including bring revival to His people.

Our fight is not against flesh and blood, it is against the rulers, authorities and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. We can fight like Joshua (in the natural) all we want, but until we start fighting like Moses (in prayer) we will lose. Neglect of prayer means losing the battle. The banner we live under means our war is fought with hands raised, knees bowed and self-sufficiency slaughtered.

Our God, Jehovah Rapha, heals all our diseases; physical, emotional, moral, and spiritual.

God sees you. He sees you when it feels like no one else does. He sees your afflictions; your disobedience; your past, present and future; and he sees what you need.

The life of a Christian flourishes best when our love and desire for our Heavenly Father runs deep.

Fathers Day 2022 message

The final chapter of Jonah reveals that Jonah struggled with God's true nature. He was angry that God turned out to be the exact character He is revealed to be over and over in scripture. Jonah's view of God was skewed by His own sinfulness. Likewise, our view of God can be skewed by our own sinfulness. Will we humbly surrender our thoughts, our feelings, our inclinations and our expectations to what God's true, revealed nature is? This is the lesson of chapter four.

We will never reach a culture full of lost souls if all we have is angst and contempt toward it....don't be like Jonah.

We can learn much about God in his response to Jonah's prayer in Jonah chapter two. Jonah 1:17-2:10
