In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the story of Jonah from the Bible. Jonah was a Hebrew who feared the Lord and was called by God to go to the city of Nineveh and preach against its wickedness. However, Jonah chose to flee from God's presence and boarded a ship to Tarshish. As a result, a great storm arose, and the sailors cast lots to determine who was responsible for the calamity. The lot fell on Jonah, and he confessed to fleeing from God. Eventually, Jonah was thrown into the sea and swallowed by a great fish. After three days and nights, Jonah repented and prayed to God, and the fish vomited him onto dry land. The preacher emphasizes the importance of staying in the presence of God and not using diversions to avoid fulfilling God's calling.

Paul West delves into the spiritual battle that believers face, emphasizing the unseen warfare that occurs within and around them. He highlights the importance of understanding that the victory over sin has already been secured by Christ, but believers must daily engage in the ongoing battle against the enemy's attempts to hinder their spiritual growth and ministry. By abiding in Christ and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can overcome the temptations of the flesh, the devil, and the world's influences, ultimately resting in God's strength to achieve victory.
