FURNACE OF ANSWERS [DAY 1]

Day 1 of Furnace of Answers opened in worship and fire prayers: "Let the fire fall" over wicked ordinances, walls of limitation, chains, repeated battles, rising and falling, and manipulation. The theme of the morning was that fire and glory are one thing: "When I call fire, I call glory." Pastor Jerry spoke a word that people were rising again, that God was "doing a new thing", and that no one should be tied to where men left them.

He prayed from Obadiah's picture of the house of Jacob as fire and the house of Joseph as a flame, calling every "house of delay", "house of shame", "house of opposition" and "house of addiction" stubble, and the house of each believer fire. From Ezekiel's vision of men devising mischief at the east gate of the temple, he asked, since the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, "Who is around your gate?" He prayed that territorial powers would feel the heat, structures collapse, evil voices go silent and helpers align, then turned it into "Fire, clear the way" wherever the gate has been locked against a person or a generation. He released grace "to start big projects and finish them in record time with high favour" and the word that "you may not see the wind, you may not see the rain, but your valley will be full of water."

The glory of God appearing when the people wanted to stone Moses and Joshua became "Fire, reply" against every storm raised against life, family and career. Then came a strong word about Lazarus: "My Lazarus is alive," with the command to roll away every stone of limitation, including a stone of cancer, followed by Isaiah's question: "Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth?" He also prayed over the exchange of glory (Psalm 106), ordering every exchanged glory, season or child to be reversed, and every strange presence that entered a home to leave.

The words of knowledge covered kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, a three-year-old in a coma, bleeding from the eyes, ears and nose, a family pattern of hysterectomies, a mother searching for two missing children, a person diagnosed with 19 diseases at once, and a run of three botched surgeries. The congregation then prepared thanksgiving seeds while the declaration of the day rose: "The Lord has already started."

Testimonies followed: a woman married on 19 July 2025, twins after the birthday declarations, 20 years of haemorrhoids healed without surgery, a first proper job with a work visa after 10 years, and a Congolese woman whose cancer vanished before a planned removal of her womb. Communion, prophetic birthday declarations, a Psalm 91 confession and a charge to bring five new people closed the service.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Vivian (surname unclear in captions): on the altar since 2021 believing for marital settlement; keyed into the declarations for women in their 30s to 60s. Her husband's family came on 19 July 2025, bride price paid traditionally; recap says settled at 47.
• Woman believing for the fruit of the womb (caption gives "John" and "Perpetual"; place "Aquar", uncertain): downloaded a picture of twins as instructed; at the birthday declarations last August ("carry your twins") she claimed twins. Pregnant by September, smooth pregnancy, delivered a girl and a boy.
• Evangelist Dr Gloria (surname unclear), USA: joined 12 December 2020; haemorrhoids since 1997 with heavy bleeding, two banding procedures, refused surgery. Bleeding stopped by June/July 2021; divinely healed, no surgery. Gave the testimony live with her husband and son as witnesses.
• Chuku Samuel (caption "Chuku Samas"): left university in 2014, unemployed 10+ years; got his first proper job with a work visa abroad, the visa arriving on the Friday that ended Fullness of Answers. Chronic gastritis and hydrocele disappeared when mentioned on the altar; delivered from depression, smoking, drinking and promiscuity. Came to NSPPD through his sister, healed of neurofibromatosis. "For the first time in my life, I can stay 2 hours and pray."
• Nikki, Congolese: diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer (caption "individual cancer", likely endometrial); doctors planned to remove her womb and organs. A clinician told her "What God cannot do does not exist" and put the NSPPD link on her phone. Within two weeks, two biopsies came back negative and the MRI could not find the cancer. The clinician confirmed it on camera.

1. Fire is glory. When the believer calls fire, they call the glory of God, and that glory fills the whole land with no hiding place for darkness.
2. The believer's house is fire and every house of delay, shame, opposition and addiction is stubble before it.
3. The body is God's temple. Whatever stands at its gate devising mischief must face the fire, and fire clears the way where a gate has been locked against a person or a generation.
4. What God said about your life and children is still alive. Lazarus is alive; only the stone remains, and it must roll away.
5. God does not bring anyone to the point of birth without letting them bring forth: no marriage age without the spouse, no door reached that stays shut, "no final without the trophy."
6. The answer is already in motion, even unseen: no wind, no rain, yet the valley fills. "The Lord has already started."
7. Testimonies are today's Acts of the Apostles; they are what people who will never read the Bible from cover to cover are waiting to see.
