Father God, first and foremost, we want to thank you for waking us up and blessing us with another day.

We want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to be on this live, Father God.

Right now, I just pray over this live, I pray over this Bible study. I pray over the

Wi-Fi, the connection. I pray over each and every person that's tuned in, Father God, I pray over

their Wi-Fi and their connection, Father God, I pray over them throughout this week. Father God, I pray that this

word reaches the ears that you set out for it to reach Father God and that it plants a seed of

fighting on a new level Father God. Every day is something with life, Father God, and we just want to thank you in this moment for giving us what we need to war with Father God and for preparing us for what it is that you're calling us to Father God. We love you and will forever praise your name.

In Jesus name we pray, amen.

As y'all could see from our prayer, what we're gonna be talking about tonight is war with words. And we're coming from the book of Jonah and I'm going to be

talking about chapter one but the main verse that I want you guys to focus on is in

Jonah chapter two and it's verse 10 so you already know I got to give you all a little summary, a little back story. So like I said

God gave me this word all over the weekend he's been telling me the way that you wore is with words. In this season I need you to

war with words. In some seasons God calls us to step out on faith and some seasons God

gives us steps or he gives us guidance or he gives us specific things to do. But in this season, and for those of you who are in the same season as me because, you know, we're all in different seasons, but in this season for me specifically, he's saying, I'm telling you to be still in this season and allow your words to war for you.

So when he said that I automatically thought I was going to be in a book of numbers but then he led me to the book of Jonah.

So Jonah chapter one, y'all probably know the story of Jonah. So Jonah chapter one, y'all probably know the story of

Jonah. Jonah flea from God, God gave him some instructions and it starts off.

Jonah chapter one verse one says the word of the Lord came to Jonah, and he told Jonah what to do, and

verse says Jonah ran away from the Lord.
