OH LORD SHOW ME MERCY

Summary
Day 3 of the Furnace of Answers opens with worship ("We know You are the rewarder of those who diligently seek You... with You nothing is impossible") and a recorded recount by Pastor Jerry of two wonders from three weeks earlier. In the first, a word of knowledge told someone sitting beside a woman declared clinically dead to turn up the phone volume and lay it beside her; when the prayer ended nothing happened, the daughter felt God had failed her, but "5 minutes later" the story turned. In the second, a wife whose husband had brain cancer surgery was told he would stay unconscious for six months and might never walk. She answered the doctor, "What God cannot do does not exist," called her husband's name in the ICU a few hours after surgery, and he opened his eyes; later, while staff removed a window to carry his stretcher out, he stood up on his feet. "We are in a season of a revival of the strange acts of God."
The long prayer section is a cry for mercy. Pastor Jerry leads the altar through the psalms of mercy: the eyes of the Lord are on those who hope in His mercy, "my flesh and my heart faileth, but You are the strength of my life," "in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy." He prays for those who "are holding on only by Your mercy," who are tired, ashamed, bereaved and confused, calling on the God of the weak, the abandoned and the oppressed. The day's cry, in his words: "Oh Lord, show me mercy, where my labour has failed, where my intellect cannot help me, where my effort cannot save me." Like the Syrophoenician woman, the ten lepers and Bartimaeus, the people call out "Jesus, mercy," and he declares that every stubborn challenge is swallowed by the compassion of the Lord, and that the mercy that raised Lazarus goes to every organ and the bloodstream.
Words of knowledge follow: a yolk sac tumour, organ failure moving from organ to organ, a one-year-old who cannot sit because of the spine, growths in the intestines, a woman who twice gave birth to children who "don't look like human beings" (he breaks it as a witchcraft attack), limbic system dysfunction, three leaking heart valves, tuberculosis, pneumonia, hypermobile joints, a cancer that "will not come back," diabetic neuropathy and the bone marrow. A minister then leads the mercy declaration from the throne of grace (Lot, Joseph in prison, Israel after 430 years, Elizabeth, Jacob), and the Lord gives the narration "new mercies" over the seed of thanksgiving, with a decree that in 48 hours "your evidence shall be called a multitude."
Testimonies played: Pastor Kenneth healed of a 10-12 year fungal scalp infection; Dr Kelly from Maryland, told after two failed IVF rounds that only an egg donor could help, now holding her baby; a woman appointed Rector of a Federal Polytechnic after a run of words from the altar; and a mother whose 12-year-old daughter planned to set her school on fire, a plot that collapsed the Monday after the mother's cry of "Father, show me mercy," and the girl is now top of her class. Pastor Jerry reflects on the mother's burden and the Pastor K team thanks him for "staying current with God."
The close carries the salvation prayer, two communions (mercy, then answers), the testimony line, the NSPPD Zambia prayer conference (half the venue gone in 24 hours), the declaration "New mercies everywhere," Psalm 91 and seven congratulations. He charges the altar for Day 4: Herod "will be decimated tomorrow."

Testimonies played / recapped
- Raised mother (recount, three weeks earlier): word of knowledge to turn up the phone beside a woman just confirmed clinically dead; nothing at first, then "5 minutes later."
- Brain cancer husband (recount): doctor said six months unconscious and may never walk; wife called his name hours after surgery, he opened his eyes; when they removed the window to carry him out, he stood up.
- Pastor Kenneth: fungal infection on the scalp for more than 10-12 years, scratching till it bled, carried combs everywhere; word of knowledge on 31 January 2025 ("as one is drying up, another is coming up"); peace on the scalp since.
- Dr Kelly, Maryland: married 2019; first IVF July 2022, one egg retrieved, did not fertilise ("low quality egg"); second IVF October 2022, no egg retrieved; told only an egg donor could help and refused. Joined NSPPD at the 31 December crossover, fasted in January 2024, danced holding Pampers and wipes. March 2024 blood test positive, scan showed 6 weeks 4 days; baby girl born November 2024.
- Rector, Federal Polytechnic (name of the school unclear in captions; she worships in Abuja): applied November 2023 amid petitions and fights. Words she held: 8 October 2024 (interview day) "I will fight for you and you will hold your peace," she came first of 18 shortlisted; 29 November "Why are you afraid? Will I bring you this far and leave you in the middle?"; 31 December, after she asked God to confirm, "your case is different"; 2 February first service "I see a new letter written for you"; 4 February about 8 am "in 3 hours... a new garment without protocol." Around 11 am that day she was called: the President had approved her appointment as Rector.
- Mother of a 12-year-old daughter: the girl read fluently at 3 but for five years could not sit still, stole, and changed schools repeatedly. At a December morning prayer the mother brought printed pictures as asked and wailed "Father, show me mercy." The next Monday the school called: the daughter had recruited three students to set off the gas cylinder, generator and fridge with fuel and a battery, with the dormitory above and over 300 children inside; one child cried, the matron caught it, and nothing happened. Next morning's word: "the child you are concerned about... it is settled." Moved to a new school, she now reads and does homework; December result 14 subjects with no C (captions read "11 F 3 p", grades uncertain), and at the February open day she was the best student.

Important message
- What God cannot do does not exist. The wife who said it to a doctor saw her husband wake and stand; faith is "now," not tomorrow.
- This is a season of the revival of God's strange acts, when women receive their dead back to life and the world can no longer ask "where is your God."
- Mercy reaches where labour, intellect and effort fail. In Him the fatherless finds mercy; He will not send away empty those who have stayed with Him these days.
- Mercy swallows what was sent to swallow you: stubborn challenges, shame, regret, affliction. The mercy that raised Lazarus can reach every organ.
- Mercy is new every morning. The Lord's narration over this season is "new mercies": things that never happened before begin to happen, and your case is an exception.
- Because God has shown you mercy, systems, kings and men in high places will show you mercy; you are forgiven and made new.
- Herod has fallen; your father's house will be called by a new name; you are equipped and prepared, with the mantles of the chosen, the first, the preferred, the covered and the defended.
- Hold on to every word from the altar that speaks to you, write it down and wage warfare with it, as the Rector did.
