FURNACE OF ANSWERS [DAY 4]

Day 4 of the Furnace of Answers week, which comes straight out of the mid-year fast, opened in worship ("I hear the sound of the abundance of rain") and moved into prayer "in the order of Elijah": before the rain came, fire cleared the way. The congregation cried "Fire, clear the way, my rain is coming", and Pastor Jerry announced rain of healing, babies, opportunities, elevation, restoration and revival, rain over three, five, twelve and forty years of waiting.

Three scriptures he said the Lord "placed in my spirit" shaped the hour. First, the sons of the prophets crying "there is death in the pot": the church asked who is cooking death in the pot against their destiny, family and career, and declared that whatever should feed them and has become poison is broken and scattered. Second, the Lord's word to Israel, "this day you will cross this Jordan to possess nations greater and mightier": as the year crosses from first half to second half, he declared the people would possess greater and mightier evidence and answers. This became the day's cry: "Greater and mightier." Third, the hand of Jeroboam that dried up when raised against the prophet: every hand of delay, witchcraft, infirmity, marital delay and "rising and falling" that says you will stay where you were from January to June was told to dry up.

He then took Isaiah's word that Jacob shall take root, blossom and bud and fill the earth with fruit, and the "new song" of Psalm 40 for July to December, and set it against Jesus' parable of the children who piped and mourned while others refused to dance. The church declared "I will not dance" to every song of shame, lamentation, obituary, calamity, accident, ambulance, cancer, career hindrance and business limitation, citing Jacob refusing his name, Cain's sentence reduced, and the daughters of Zelophehad changing a law. A prayer released anything held by man, spirit, system or institution within the next 24 hours, and the hour closed with "None of me, all of Jesus."

Words of knowledge followed (epilepsy in three children, autoimmune fibrosis, a removed lung, fluid in the shoulder, a decaying private part, hardworking men in a house with no evidence, a helper turned destroyer), with the call "If you are the one, put it on the live stream; let it be reversed." He declared over the past and future ("I go back, I arrange; I go forward, I arrange"), released prophetic words (your case will be an exception, the big one will burst without process or protocol, what you fear will not happen, closed doors become open gates, strong helpers within four weeks), prayed over the mantle for discernment of times and seasons, and announced Glory Friday for tomorrow. A seed of thanksgiving was received with the decree "you have crossed over."

Testimonies covered a valedictorian, Nigerian Law School first class results and tier one law firm offers, a UK nurse cleared of thalassaemia, a woman whose babies used to die in the womb, and a husband healed of suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome after the altar named his exact symptoms. Pastor K and another minister reflected on the day ("that pot they are cooking death has finally scattered"), led Psalm 91 and closed with congratulations. In a recorded close, Pastor Jerry told of a mother clinically dead who came back after a phone was placed beside her during the prayer, and a husband after brain surgery who woke when his wife called his name and stood up while staff were planning to move his stretcher out through a window.

Post-fast teaching (announcements)

• The most critical season after a fast is the days and weeks after it. Do not finish and "go rest": stay on the altar, which is positioning to receive.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Young student (valedictorian): after hearing a Thursday message on salt in a new cruse while preparing for the Cambridge Checkpoint exams, she committed the exams to God; at her award assembly on 3 July she was named valedictorian of 2025 for her year.
• Nigerian Law School graduates: one resumed a month late and was far behind; held on to the 16 May 2024 word "God will use you to set a new example of His goodness", placed an edited screenshot of a first class result beside the device and prayed for mercy 15 minutes a day for 3 days, and made a first class. Another finished at the University of Ibadan with a second class upper in 2023, vowed to come back and testify to a first class from the Abuja campus, and did; call to bar on Thursday. Applied to about 12 firms with no response, joined the 21-day fast in January, received a tier one law firm offer on 21 January and a second one a week after the fast.
• Lava Kelvin (UK, nurse): in October 2023 was exhausted, breathless, with numbness and palpitations; tests showed borderline cholesterol, high blood pressure and prediabetes, then in January 2024 abnormal blood results and a thalassaemia diagnosis. After a testimony by a woman called Bojo (8 April) she asked God to repeat the word; on 17 May (also said "7th of May") Pastor Jerry mentioned thalassaemia. A genetic test reported on 30 October found no cause and excluded delta beta thalassaemia (caption "delta delta"); confirmed at a February 2025 review. Free of thalassaemia.
• Woman whose children died in the womb: claimed the word of 27 February 2024, "a woman, children die in your womb". Her husband had driven her out. Her newborn had unstable blood sugar and a doctor told them the baby would die; she prayed with the altar around 11:00 and by the next morning the baby was stable and they were discharged.
• Mr and Mrs John (place uncertain, caption "Cot Nigeria"), on NSPPD since 2020: in April the husband had severe diarrhoea, then electric tingling in the legs, then could not walk. Doctors suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome (caption "golampa syndrome"), said it could not be treated in Nigeria, and steroids failed. He could not eat or drink for 2-3 weeks and the weakness moved to his hands. On the 28th the altar said "it started with your legs, now it has moved to your hands, total paralysis, be reversed"; she laid hands on him and he began to eat and drink. Later the altar named "spinal shock" and "Guillain-Barré syndrome" by name; after a thanksgiving seed of perfection on a Sunday he was healed on the Monday. Heart rate and blood pressure normal, no medication, daily communion.
• Pastor Jerry's story (recorded close): three weeks earlier, a word for someone beside a dead woman to turn up the phone volume and place it beside her. The mother had been confirmed clinically dead; nothing happened when the prayer ended, and five minutes later the miracle came.
• Brain cancer surgery: a wife was told her husband would stay unconscious for six months and might never walk. She answered the doctor "What God cannot do does not exist", went to the ICU and called his name; he opened his eyes. When staff removed the window blinds to move the stretcher out, he stood up on his feet.

Words of knowledge / healing declarations

• "If you are the one, put it on the live stream; let it be reversed, let it be fast":
  • Three of your children down with epilepsy.
  • Autoimmune fibrosis (caption "immune my fibrosis").
  • Further syndromes and diseases named with uncertain captions: "Canada syndrome", "romantic brain disease", "very fast syndrome", "bure", and a disease touching the nerves.
  • A lung that was removed: let the Lord replace it.
  • Fluid in your shoulder.
  • A witchcraft attack: a private part decaying while you are alive; at menstruation only smelly pus comes out, no blood.
  • The male members of your household are hardworking but have no evidence: let the seal be broken.
  • Someone spoke over a wedding gift and brought negativity into your family: in 48 hours they will come and confess.
  • "How did your helper become your destroyer?" Whoever spoke against you to your helper, let it be reversed.
• Prophetic declarations: your case will be an exception; God avenges what they spoke and sent; the big one will burst without process or protocol; what you are afraid of will not happen; they closed the door, but "I will open gates for you"; within the next four weeks strong helpers with voice, influence and dominion will seek you out and fight your battles; your name is on that list; a new chapter has opened; the next big testimony they hear will be yours.
• Over the mantle on the head: discernment to understand the times and seasons; you will know what to do, how to do it and when.

1. In the order of Elijah, fire clears the way before the rain. Delays that lasted years are being cleared so the rain can come.
2. Whatever was meant to feed you and has been turned into poison is exposed: there is death in the pot, and God scatters the pot and those cooking in it.
3. As you cross from the first half into the second half of the year, you possess things greater and mightier than yourself. You do not remain where you were from January to June.
4. Every hand raised against you, whether institutional, witchcraft, marital delay or affliction, will dry up like Jeroboam's.
5. You do not have to dance to the song the enemy plays. Jacob refused his name, Cain's sentence was reduced, and five daughters changed a law; with this much prayer and prophecy there is no reason to dance to shame or stagnation.
6. None of me, all of Jesus: the outcome rests on Christ in you, not your strength or ability.
7. The weeks after a fast are the season of fortification. The enemy returns to see whether the house is empty, so stay on the altar and position yourself to receive.
8. Spouses waiting for a child: your spouse is not your problem; fight the common enemy together.
9. We are in a season of a revival of the strange acts of God. Faith is now, and the same Jesus works yesterday, today and forever.
