Jonah chapter 2 is a record of Jonah’s prayer. Jonah has been swallowed by a huge fish and thinks he’s going to die. He’s slowly being digested alive and he cries out from the belly of the grave… and God hears his voice! God often uses a crisis to drive us to pray to focus our attention upon His Word.

Are we really that much different from Jonah? Sometimes sadly some are not! As Christians, we should examine ourselves in light of the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 2… and really, it’s not just the nations, it’s our neighbors Because it was not simply about Jonah going to Mosul. It was about going and taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth to all the peoples of the earth.

In Matthew 17, a father brings his son who is demon possessed to the disciples to be able to deliver the boy. They fail to meet those expectations and sadly, could not cast the demon out. Our culture still brings people who need help to the church today. They bring the helpless, the hapless, the hopeless and lay them at the feet of the church and we are to minister to them in the name of an absentee Lord. Sadly, we will not touch the culture because of our religious agendas, our words, or our debates… The culture asks why can’t you cast it out? ONLY JESUS CAN DO THAT! There must be a sense of dependence upon Him.
