Description

Gary Wilkerson challenges believers to recognize and break free from "subtle Jonah" tendencies—small compromises that prevent us from fully obeying God's call.

Main Points:

• What is a Subtle Jonah? - Unlike Jonah's blatant rebellion, most Christians compromise subtly through partial obedience and minor disobediences that seem harmless

• The Impact of Small Compromises - "Little foxes spoil the vines" (Song of Solomon 2:15 ) - seemingly small compromises can destroy your destiny, calling, and spiritual fruitfulness when your life is ready to bloom

• Breaking Free to Live Radically - Regain sensitivity to the Holy Spirit instead of sensuality; stop accepting worldly standards and chase away the "little foxes" through God's power

• Examples of Subtle Compromise - Pornography instead of full adultery, skipping prayer with children, choosing comfort over mission work, unhealthy habits God has called you to change

• The Call to Full Obedience - God has a magnificent destiny for your life that requires eliminating even small compromises; heroes like Moses, Noah, and Rosa Parks refused to minimize their vision
