Question - Why didn’t Jonah want to minister to the people of Nineveh? Worded differently - What was it about the people of Ninevah that drove Jonah to blatantly disobey God’s instruction to minister to them? Hint - Why is this relevant to the current discussion? Answer to hint - Remember that King Sennacherib was from Nineveh.

King Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, terrorized King Hezekiah, the King of Judah. The Lord intervened and fought King Hezekiah’s battle. King Hezekiah fought his battle by crying out to the Lord. Scriptural authority: The battle is set forth in great detail beginning in Isaiah chapter 36:1 through the end of Isaiah chapter 37. The same exact battle is also recounted, with slightly different emphasis, starting at 2 Kings 18:13 and continuing through the end of 2 Kings chapter 19.🔥 The scripture setting forth King Hezekiah’s very stressful ordeal is chocked full of rich revelation - the enemy’s clear intention was to immobilize King Hezekiah, and the people of Judah, with fear - please note in 2 Kings 19:36 (and in Isaiah 37:37) that King Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, was from Nineveh. I have heard commentators speak about Nineveh’s reputation for being brutal - I have also heard that groups like Isis have their roots in Assyria. In this regard, reflect back upon the manner in which Isis has a history of terrorizing the world during previous presidential administrations. They would film their terror and then send social media posts with videos of rows of blindfolded men kneeling in orange jumpsuits just prior to being beheaded before the rolling cameras. Are you able to recall a time in your life when the enemy of our souls sought to create terror in your life? The answer is likely yes - However, comfort and equipping, about our authority as sons and daughters of God, are found in His Word … see scripture citations in the comments below 🔥

Quick Question - Have you ever thought to yourself, I am decreeing and declaring the Word, I am trying to take authority, and I don't see the enemy leaving? Well, as a follow-up to last evening's meeting, let's examine a scriptural example of the enemy continuing to threaten (verbally terrorize) God's servant even though the enemy was already a defeated foe according to God's proclamation against him. Here goes... (1) In Isaiah 37:6 - 7, God used the Prophet Isaiah to speak a Word against King Sennacherib, the King of Assyria. (2) Unbeknownst to the King of Assyria, the Word of God against him, had already gone forth and was even starting to manifest in Isaiah 37:8-9. Notwithstanding that, the King of Assyria was sending threats to King Hezekiah, the King of Judah, from verse 9 to verse 13. (3) The threats were so intimidating that King Hezekiah went into the temple to pray directly to God, from verse 14 to verse 20. King Hezekiah had already received the previous Word from the Prophet Isaiah but he went into the Holy place for himself. (4) Because of King Hezekiah's prayer, God sent the Prophet Isaiah again starting in verse 21. We see the angel of the Lord kill in the camp of the Assyrians starting in verse 36. We see King Sennacherib return to his homeland (Ninevah) in verse 37, and we see him killed, according to the Word of the Lord, in verse 38. (5) The scripture states, in James 4:7 - Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee. It's legal, the enemy has to leave (flee) - even if he is making threats while he is leaving (fleeing), he still has to leave (flee). If the enemy has to flee, then it stands to reason that every lesser devil must flee as well (i.e., the spirit of fear, etc...) King Sennacherib's departure, as discussed above, gives us a great scriptural example of an enemy "trying" to continue to threaten even though he was a defeated foe. But we know from scripture, that the King of Assyria's rapidly approaching death, as prophesied, cut off his terrorism.

Ok so i just discovered something while Im working on my new book "Predestined? Free Will vs. God's Hand in Finding Your Spouse" In Genesis 1 and 2 the word for Man is the same word for Adam. Genesis 1:27 Modern English Version 27 So God created man(Adam) in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Ok so in this verse God is saying God created Adam in his own image, BUT as he's saying this he then says He created them male and female... but he's talking of Adam 😳... ya'll ever seen an Angel or heard someone describe one... where they have the beauty of a woman but they're masculine? - Don't get thrown off here but trans people are confused and unknowingly doing the opposite of God while still trying to obtain the perfection of God. Remember in verses like Genesis 1:26 Modern English Version 26 Then God said, “Let us make man (Adam) in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God is saying them but Adam is by himself or not even created yet... this is maybe why the translator said "man" instead of Adam. But this is the crazy part!!! 23 Then Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she will be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man.”(iysh) 24 Therefore a man (iysh) will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh. As soon as Eve was Taken OUT of Adam... the word for MAN was changed from "Adam" to "Iysh". Why? Because in Adam was both male and female... Eve was inside of Adam from the beginning and that was the name God gave them. But when Eve was removed... His name stayed the same but this was the first time God was speaking of mankind as a whole... you see, we think when God was speaking of multiples when he would say Adam... God was speaking of Mankind... no God was speaking of those he had already created...
