This is a prayer of thanksgiving to God for all that he will accomplish in the lives of those who read it. Even as they read this, let go of your authority. In Jesus' tremendous name, let your word pierce every heart, pierce every life.
1-9 of Jonah The King James Bible (KJV)
So Jonah, the son of Amittai, was sent by the Lord to go and protest against the evil of Nineveh, the largest city in the world. In order to run from the presence of God, Jonah set out for Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. He paid the fare and boarded the ship; thus he was able to escape to Tarshish from God's presence. However, the LORD sent a powerful wind into the sea, causing a violent storm that was close to breaking the ship. Then the seafarers became frightened and screamed out to their gods, and threw the ship's cargo into the ocean to make it lighter. Jonah, on the other hand, had sunk to the bottom of the ship and was deep asleep. He was approached by the ship's captain, who asked him, "What do you mean, O slumberer? " In the event that God is thinking about us, we should rise and pray to him, so that we don't die. And they said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, so that we might find out who is to blame for this atrocity." So they drew lots, and Jonah came out on top. What is your profession? They begged him to tell them why this evil has come upon them. and where did you come from? What is the name of your nation? And who are you, then? And he told them, "I am an Israelite, and I reverence the Lord, the God of Heaven, who created the sea and the dry land," to which they agreed. The glory of God should fill everyone who reads this right now, Father, in your precious name. Reach out and touch everyone. Reach out to everyone and touch their souls. Let the power of your words inspire others. Let it lead to remorse. Let it be a savior. Right now, I send God's word into every home. Let the fires of God's wrath blaze out. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
