Teaching Notes
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” (Jonah 2:10-3:2)

NORMALCY
INTERRUPTION
ESCAPE
CRISIS
DARKNESS
AWAKENING
RELEASE
Three Key Questions:
“Will I receive God’s call as an interruption or opportunity?”
“In darkness, will I let my heart harden or awaken?”
Through it all, do I believe that God loves me no matter what?
Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. (Jonah 3:3)
Obeying is simply saying to God: “OKAY.”
Okay is the sound of surrender.
In release, you will experience the warmth and weight of heaven
Warmth
The affection of the Father
The release of all your striving
Lightness, freedom
Weight
Gravitas
Conviction
A new determination
A new authority
Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
Jonah 3:3-10
Prevenience: “the priority of grace.”
“We are always coming in on something that is already going on.” -Eugene Peterson, Under The Unpredictable Plant
When God calls you to someone, trust that He’s calling them too.
Who is He calling you to?

When we say to God “Okay”
God says… “YEAAAAH!”
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.’”
Romans 10:9-11
