A Deep-Dive Bible Study Into The Book of Jonah-Episode 5

“Ignoring God Won't Work”

May 13th, 2022

In our fifth episode, titled “Ignoring God Won’t Work,” Keith uncovers a tale of two responses to a crisis—that of the pagan sailors and that of the prophet Jonah. He asks: When a storm hits your life, who do you cry to?

When facing trouble, the people of God need to understand that regardless of the circumstances, the Almighty is working out His plan and purpose in our lives.

    Very good study and I needed it! I know that what is going on for 2 years is permitted by the creator of the universe to refine and prepare us. I believe He wants to put us at the right place and in his time. I confess that I froze but slowly and surely I’m getting out and saying yes Father.. your will, not mine and open my mouth so I may sing and speak repentance and hope to ears that will hear and eyes that will see.
    Thanks for the great work.. Shalom

    A humanbeing’s getting frozen before horror in disaster is normal coz of fear but always in only a few seconds. After that frozen time is fleeing coz of instinct.
    However Jonah sleep and get frozen not because of fear. He is angry with God and escape from job purposely.
    Like a spoiled son of father, he believes loving father will not punish him to die. So this ignoring is on purpose. And untill really died can repent.

    Dear Keith, I have absolutely loved this course and would like to do the whole book of Yonah. Before it was like reading it as flat line but now it has really brought it a live. 3D. I have tried to learn Hebrew before and study really hard but I just couldn’t get it out of my mouth. So I am enjoying the slower pace where I can repeat it again and again but still if that what it take for me. Its going in. Thank you for all your hard work.

    Blessing and Shalom

    My good brother to answer your question: We are “flighting”! The church where I’m at in Northern California is, in the imagination of their minds (dreaming), resisting the works of the nachash while in a deep sleep. There is a revival / restoration to be had in the city of Sacramento (Nineveh), it’s king (Newsome) and as it is said of our nation: As the state of California goes, so goes the nation. I’m strategically located near the “headwaters” of the SACRAMENTo river, where the waters pours out of the ROCK in Mt. Shasta, through our city Redding. Until we fulfill our calling as Jonah reluctantly and finally did, in order for His purpose to be accomplished, we await being cast into the sea, swallowed by the great fish and vomited / resurrected onto the beach. I look foward to the completion of this series: a very timely and relevant word for the season that we are in.
    Blessings & Shalom
