EARLY ANSWERS; EARLY MANIFESTATIONS; EARLY EVIDENCE

This was the first day of the 21-day prayer and fasting that opens 2025, under the banner "Early answers, early manifestations, early evidence". Worship opened on Hebrews 11:6 ("we know you are a rewarder of those who diligently seek your face") and the refrain "what you cannot do does not exist". A recorded recap from Pastor Jerry then told two wonders from three weeks earlier: a woman confirmed clinically dead who came back to life five minutes after the prayer ended, with her daughter's phone held beside her at full volume on a word of knowledge; and a man just out of brain cancer surgery, told he would be unconscious for six months and might never walk, who answered when his wife called his name and then stood up off the stretcher while staff were removing a window to move him. His wife's answer to the doctor became the day's refrain: "What God cannot do does not exist."

The prayer itself moved through a run of declarations. Psalm 46:5 was personalised ("God is in the midst of me, I shall not be moved, the Lord will help me, and that right early") alongside the Lion of the tribe of Judah roaring over answers, results, evidence and manifestation. He set fire against every power of delay and the cycles of stagnation, defeat and limitation, then prayed "Let it rain, no delay": the former and latter rain at the same time, good measure pressed down, waters rising from ankle to knee until we swim. The longest section was "Awake, my glory" (Psalm 57:8): glory, favour, visibility, prophecies, helpers, systems, ministry gifts and every organ of the body were commanded to wake, with Lazarus "not dead but sleeping" as the picture and a prophetic "awake, awake, awake" shouted 21 times.

He then preached against waiting: "Say not, there are yet four months... the field is already white" (John 4:35). From the parable of the tares he warned that the enemy sows while men sleep, and declared that wrong seed is not allowed in 2025. The Lord had told him that on the first day of the fast His people would lift their voice against every stubborn challenge ("this kind goes out only by prayer and fasting"), so the altar commanded long-standing challenges to bow, followed by a Paul and Silas earthquake against foundations of negativity. Isaiah 40:31 was read as three groups (some soar, some run, some walk) and the congregation chose to soar; then came "I hear my new name", with seven chances to call out a new name: healed, married, promoted, elevated, enlarged.

Words of knowledge followed: metastatic atrophic gastritis, a diabetic coma, a tumour mimicking pregnancy, nerves damaged in surgery, a planned reconstruction using the intestine, blood flowing backwards in the heart, liver cancer, a three-year-old with heart failure, children with slow development, cancer seen in spinal fluid and a cerebral abscess, all under "affliction shall not rise a second time". A seed of thanksgiving was marked "early answers", and the decree was: "Welcome to your season of early answers."

The testimonies were a 33 million naira debt cleared and a life turned from sexual addiction to service, with a wife and a wedding largely given as a gift; a son after 15 years and three daughters; a metal plate in a young man's spine gone on a doctor's scan; a Canadian woman's Crohn's disease and strictures healed on a word of knowledge the morning after she saw her surgeon; and a woman who carried a birthday balloon as her "wedding balloon" and was married that December. Salvation, three servings of communion ("they are all awake" and the communion of answers), announcements of the Lagos conference, and a Psalm 91 declaration closed the service with seven congratulations. The day's declaration: "They are all awake."

Theme and timing

• Day 1 of the 21-day prayer and fasting for 2025; theme "Early answers, early manifestations, early evidence".
• The Lord told Pastor Jerry that on the first day of the fast His people would lift their voice against every stubborn challenge.
• Near the end of the prayer he announced a list of "operations" (caption is broken, likely the prayer lines for the days ahead or for tomorrow): systems aligned; uproot what the Lord did not plant; "draw it earlier"; calling forth into manifestation; the season I prayed for is finally here; let it rain high favour.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Recap, three weeks earlier (dead woman): a daughter beside her mother, confirmed clinically dead hours before, turned up the phone volume on a word of knowledge; nothing happened when the prayer ended, she felt God had disappointed them, and five minutes later the mother came back to life.
• Recap (brain cancer surgery): surgeons said they could not avoid sensitive areas, he would be unconscious six months and might never walk. His wife told the doctor "what God cannot do does not exist", called his name in ICU a few hours after surgery and he responded; when staff removed the window to move the stretcher out, he stood up on his feet.
• Prince A. (Lagos, caption name partial): went to the UK in 2022, everything blocked; owed 33 million naira with shop and house rent unpaid. On 9 November found NSPPD on YouTube on the word "what you are afraid of will not happen". God told him to give Him two years, stay away from sin and return to Nigeria, then to come to Streams of Joy and serve. Today is his two-year anniversary there. Within three months (by March 2023) the debt was paid, both rents settled, a bigger apartment and a new Lagos shop he had sought for eight years. Delivered from using sex as "therapy"; now a protocol worker. The protocol lady who once gave him a seat became his wife: proposed in March, court wedding 26 September, traditional wedding 26 October, then a white wedding. On "what you are saving for will be given to you as a gift", he spent only 30% of his savings; the rest was gift.
• Mother of Samuel: married 15 years with three daughters, wanted a son; gender selection kept failing. In 2023 she held the word "that thing your eyes have not seen, carry it as your evidence", conceived after the 21-day fast, avoided scans and sat on the altar daily. Two weeks before delivery her husband insisted on a scan: "an active boy". Samuel was born without complications.
• Young man (from Ghana, caption unclear): spinal deformity at age 4 with metal put in his back; 15 years later the same pain, told to return for surgery. On 26 June 2023, 1 hour 1 minute 19 seconds into the prayer, the word "you had a surgery and they put metal in your back... let the pain disappear... let every metal dissolve". In January 2024 the doctor found everything normal and could not see the metal plate.
• Timmy (Canada): sick since August 2020, diagnosed with Crohn's disease in November 2023; hospitalised every month from April to September 2024 with strictures in the small bowel. Flew from Kenya to Canada straight to emergency and was referred to a surgeon to cut out the section. Had been praying for "bowel stricture"; the morning after the surgeon visit the word was "Crohn's disease". Pre-surgical scan came back clear; no pain for the first time in four years and eating normally.
• Happiness Brightens: single in 2023, believing for marriage and healing at Pastor Jerry's birthday service; missed the cake but took the falling balloons as a point of contact, singing "this is my wedding balloon". Met her husband in September, married in December; came with her husband.

1. What God cannot do does not exist. Clinical death, brain surgery and expert verdicts do not set the limit; we are in a revival of the strange acts of God, and people will no longer ask "where is your God?"
2. 2025 is a year of early answers. God helps "right early", and doors of early evidence will come out of the 21 days; do not say it will happen next week, the field is already white.
3. Faith is now. The answer can come while He is yet speaking, even five minutes after it looks like God has failed.
4. Everything God placed on your life must wake: glory, favour, visibility, prophecies, gifts, helpers and systems. Nothing will sleep on you, and no delay is allowed in January.
5. The enemy sows while men sleep, so the altar refuses wrong seed in 2025; stubborn challenges that lingered for years must bow, because this kind goes out by prayer and fasting.
6. Of those who wait on the Lord, some soar, some run, some walk; choose to soar this season, and receive a new name.
7. Who you become matters more than what you get: the greatest testimony is a changed life.
