Jonah 3
6 When the news 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.
7 Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh:
"By the decree of the king and his nobles:
Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste
anything; do not let them eat or drink.
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth.
Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their
evil ways and their violence.
9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn
from his fierce anger so that we will not perish."
10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from
their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon
them the destruction he had threatened.

1. Even animals Fasted....that's true repetance, turn all your heart to God Almighty.........

2. God does not want to kill anyone..only that you repent and accept His Grace in Christ Jesus by Faith.....turn your heart to to God Like those people in Ninevah...please
.................................................. ....................................

LOOK AT THE OPPOSITE
Deiverance and Healing from sin is by Faith not by works of the flesh neither would you buy it.........Look at Naaman...

2 Kings 5

Vs 1] Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy]

How many people around the world who got it all..wealth, praise from people all over the world, well respected....but the fact is they sick and got the sickness of Leprosy-Being slaved of SIN-which is to be govened by their own evil desires, but not by the Spirit of God......yet the praise has clouded their thinking..God knows how the heart of Naaman was like when he was all alone, seeing his skin to be like that? Painful experience..yet praise still clouded him..no matter how much you have..there is no Joy without Jesus Christ............

Good News there is Healing: vs 10] Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed."

It's clear only Jesus Christ who wash away the sins of the world by His blood shed on the Cross of Calvery...only Jesus who provide cleansing of ones soul, only Jesus who Gives Eternal Life..........But look how they respond when we tell them this awesome Good news............

vs 11-12]But Naaman went away angry and said, "I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than any of the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?" So he turned and went off in a rage.

They want us to call fire on heaven to burn trees before they believe...some think what can save them it's religion...little did they know religion kills....you can dress white clothes, bow ten time but if your heart is filthy and ther is no Jesus is your Life ita pointless and it will kill you..you can call on dead peole..all they going to bring is trouble, you can try to mdeditate and say you connecting with mother nature, let me reimng you ther is not mother nature on the Father in Heaven.......Only Jesus is the Way and Answer.....It's about Relationship with God of Heven and earth my brothers and sisters.....It's about Faith....it's about righteousness of Faith............ which is a Gift of God lest a man should boast..........

I am Glad there are still people like this one who understand Faith, who hear the voice of the Spirit of God.........

Vs 13]Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!"

Wash and be clean..that's all......Romans10: 9-10]That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved

That's all, no Phylosophy, no theology, no religion, no science can save you........but Christ Crucified, Risen from Dead, Ascended to Heaven...All principalities, dominons etc under His feet.......He Reigns in Glory and Majesty......He Reigns forever..Govenment is upon His shoulder....................

PLEASE " WASH AND BE CLEANSED"..................

vs 14]So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

Finaly some understanding....when in Christ you become a New Creature...........Let me tell you we don't need your money...but God needs your soul to Live and be His Child..He Loves you...

Vs 15-16]Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel[Finally the true Light has come]. Please accept now a gift from your servant." The prophet answered, "As surely as the LORD lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing" And even though Naaman urged him, he refused[I wonder do we still do this in nower days.? God help us]

Amen Nathi, that is a good word- thanks brother Larry

Dusty

Tee Hee ...Brother Larry but I did get a funny from your response. At first I thought why is bro Larry thanking himself and then I realized he had forgotten that little comma. See what a difference a comma makes.

Anyways, Nathi ,thankyou for your study. Very good info.

Yes, Nathi we must all come to the cross. For without the cross there is no remission of sin. Praise God Nathi and may the Lord bless you

Thank you, brother Nathi! A very good post...
We all should repent and change our lives.

This is the gospel Jesus proclaimed:
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mt.4:17)

This is what the Apostols told:
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you (Ac.3:19,20)

Amen.
