I am Jonah, the prophet. I do not claim to be the resurrected prophet from ancient times, nor am I claiming to have been him in a past life. I am not fashioning myself after the biblical prophet Jonah. I am preaching Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
Rather, I refer to myself as Jonah because I am one who has run away from my responsibility to preach unto the world, and unto this generation. In seeking to escape from my duties I turned away from my God, and from life itself. I hid myself in the darkest corners of the earth, but it is the grace of God that we are not able to hide sufficiently from His sight.
Behold, I was swallowed up by the whale, and my way was made crooked before me. That which I would desire to prosper became withered in my hands; when I sought to grab for gold it immediately turned to rust; when I looked for the comfort of the world, the world fled from me: when I cried out to Satan to rescue me from God, Satan would not answer. He could not; he was not permitted to answer, for my soul has been paid for.
What else could I do except list to obey God? He has broken my ways, and he has brought me down unto the fathomless depths...yet He has only done this in order that His will might be accomplished in my life.
Grudgingly I comply, and reluctantly do I grasp the sword at the hilt, but I can no longer resist the mighty hand of God. He would destroy me before He would allow me to prosper in transgression and iniquity.
Truthfully, I have only Him to thank. I am alive right now because of Him. In 2004 He saved my family and I from the forceful gale, and calmed the storm that may have consumed us. Many other times has my life been spared, and on a daily basis. I exist only because I am a prepared vessel; no longer can I deny the truth in plain sight!
And so, to this end, I am making this page with the intention of preaching the word of Christ, the one who lives, who was dead, and who ives forevermore. If I do this in secrecy then it is because of my own realization of my iniquities. Nevertheless, the purpose for which I was born shall be fulfilled: to be a warrior of Christ in this dark and dismal age.
The sermons and information that is to be transcribed here are left open to the public to be disseminated and distributed by anyone as they see fit, whether for good or ill (it matters not, God controls all).So let your will be done in my life, O God;In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
