Jonah 2:10-3:3b
God’s Commitment to the Message
1. God speaks to anyone who will listen, v. 2:10
Some of the ways God speaks to us…
a) Creation
Psalm 19:1-4
Romans 1:18-20
b) Bible/the Word
Psalm 1:1-3
c) prayer
d) spiritual authority
e) circumstances
2. God repeats Himself, v. 1-2
Three similarities between them…
a) Peter ran from his calling, just like Jonah, and Peter got a second chance to submit to God.
b) Peter is similar to Jonah in that he was the first of the apostle to cross the Jew/Gentile boundary with the gospel.
c) Peter receives his vision about the animals being clean at the house of Simon the Tanner in the city of Joppa.
3. God speaks through His prophets, v. 2
“We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.”
- A.W. Tozer
Three evidences of a prophet…
a) They live in the unseen.
b) The speak for God.
c) They move according to the word of the Lord, v. 3

Mental worship…
1. When is the last time you had good “tone” on something?
2. When you pray, are you talking to God or thinking about the people in the room who are hearing you?
3. Have you ever tried to disqualify yourself with your behavior from something God was calling you to?
4. What one word best describes a life lived according to the Word?
5. What would you like to ask God to repeat?
6. Do you have prophetic friends and who are they?
