RAIN OF ANSWERS

There is a sound of abundance of rain: demonstrate it, grow in it, keep moving so the rain stops you not, and behold the great and effectual door already opened unto you, by His word and His name.

Summary
This was the Sunday after the NSPPD UK prayer conference at the ExCeL Arena, London (Saturday 23 August), and two days after Pastor Jerry's birthday (Friday 22 August). The day ran as four services. Pastor Jerry's two messages were played to the congregation (a host remarks "I know he's watching you from wherever he is"): "A sound of abundance of rain" from 1 Kings 18 in the first and third services, and "A great and effectual door, opened unto me" from 1 Corinthians 16:9 and Revelation 3:8 in the second and fourth. Each message opened with the same fire prayer for a "rain of answers" and closed with an offering and a reel of the London miracles.
The opening prayer set the cry of the day: "Let it rain. Let it rain your answers right now." He prayed for answers that end years of delay and restore wasted years, stood in the gap for family members, declared "I am the answer", and had the congregation lift both hands and shout "I have my answers", then tell seven people "The Lord has given me my answers." He taught that God answers by His capability, not your capacity; that every answer carries a seed for more answers, matures you before it gives to you, provokes the gates of hell, is generational rather than individual, comes with assigned angels ("Where are my angels?"), and begins in eternity before it is brought into time by prayer.
From 1 Kings 18 he drew five lines. "Show thyself unto Ahab" means demonstrate: the gospel is power, not words only, so lay hands on your child, on your own body, and towards your father's house. Elijah heard before he saw: seasons are preceded by sounds, so refuse every sound that is not yours (obituary, delay, curses, limitation). It rained water, not food: rain makes growth and growth makes the harvest that reverses famine, so the greatest blessing is growth ("May the Lord baptize you with growth"). Elijah went back to Carmel, the place of past fire, because situations change but God's patterns are constant. "Prepare thy chariot... that the rain stop thee not": don't let the blessing you prayed for make you prayerless or comfortable. And the sky went black before the downpour: "It may be dark, it may be black, but it's a sign that it is about to rain heavy."
From 1 Corinthians 16 he showed Paul staying in Ephesus, where he had "fought with beasts", because a door had opened that he did not open himself. The door is great (mega) and effectual (energes, active and operative, unlike great contacts who are never active in your life). It is opened "unto me", so nobody can copy, steal or gossip it away, like a ramp built for the one who needs it. The adversaries wait at the doorway camouflaged and strike with small weapons ("the little foxes"). Revelation 3:8 gives the access code, "His word and His name", and the word "Behold": many people are standing at an open door they have not seen, so pray "Lord, open my eyes."
Both messages carried words of knowledge (cancers, fractures without accident, clots, a daughter who ran away mentally ill coming home within 24 hours) and a declaration for each day of the week. The London reel was shown in every service. Between the services, eight people testified: two promotions; a suspected brain aneurysm; a sister revived after collapsing with severe bleeding; a nurse registration; peripheral neuropathy and a breast lump reversed; network-marketing car awards; a leg the doctors wanted to operate on; H. pylori and a triple car deal; ptosis and myasthenia gravis reversed.

Testimonies in the services
- Oku Blessing (travelled from "Aqua State", likely Akwa Ibom): prayed two years for promotion and vowed to testify at the altar. After a 4 July exam she lay on the altar on 5 July; on the 13th a friend called and she found "congratulations" in her email. While waiting she was rushed to emergency with an excruciating headache, had CT, MRI and ECG, and was admitted; she prayed "Dr. Arroi", replayed old NSPPD broadcasts (on the altar since 2020), and was discharged on 2 August. The doctor told her it was a suspected brain aneurysm. She thanked the colleagues who brought her to the altar.
- Stella Kaleb, for her younger sister Doris Kaleb: after an aunt died on 19 June, Doris fell ill in Abuja: BP 50/30, acute kidney injury, septicaemia, severe malaria, PCV 28% falling to 15%. A doctor and a lab technician each gave a pint of blood. Back home she passed blood, then on the Wednesday of "Oh Lord, Show Me Mercy" bled for 30 minutes and collapsed with jerking legs and rolling eyes. Stella declared "The body of my sister will not be buried", and Doris revived and repeated the words. She was transfused and scans and cultures came back clear; Stella claimed a word about "anal fissure", the bleeding stopped, and she believes it is healed without the colonoscopy she could not afford. In July she had dreamt of Pastor Jerry praying for her and pouring oil on her head.
- Favour: failed several exams for work abroad from 2021; a stranger linked her to an agency and she travelled in 2023. Her documentation was suspended in November 2024 and her hospital threatened deportation; she had insomnia and depression. On 13 April Pastor Jerry spoke of "a miraculous email"; she danced without knowing why on the Monday, and on 15 April received the email that she was a registered nurse. She came to Nigeria to testify in person.
- Teresa: in a diabetic coma on 27 October 2022 at an Abuja hospital while her daughter played "Oh Lord, Show Me Mercy" by her ear; she recovered, moved closer to town and joined the church in January 2023. On 19 June 2025 food lodged in her throat and she choked for six hours until an ENT doctor removed it. Exam 26 July, interview 28 July, and on Thursday (Pastor Jerry's birthday) her boss told her the promotion list was out: she was promoted to the next rank, "Signary A" as captioned.
- A third woman (likely Chiamaka; names introduced: Favour, Teresa, Chiamaka and one more): her mother returned from abroad via ICU "looking like a 12-year-old boy", unable to feed or bathe herself, diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy; when Pastor Jerry said "peripheral neuropathy reversed" she claimed it, and her mother turned 70 in May fully healed. A September fall left threads from a failed second stitch on her elbow and a reported nerve injury (therapy quoted at 430,000); after dancing in a dress during the 15-minute dance she slept in it, and the next morning both threads were gone and she could clench her fist. A two-month lump under her breast with swelling and numbness vanished at the UK conference on 23 August as Pastor Jerry came on stage.
- A woman from Awka, Anambra State (caption "Betren Wu"): ten years stagnant in network marketing; she kept posting the NSPPD links though people blocked her. In a new company she rose, and at the car award her son won the car raffle ticket her mother-in-law urged her to buy. She then reached two car ranks in a month, was paid 11 million naira in January, and after laying a written request on the altar on Thursday her "double crystal" rank clicked at midnight. At the award on Saturday she received a Toyota RAV4; she now earns weekly what she had never seen in her life.
- Anyam (fourth service): on government duty abroad from 2022, cold-related leg pain left her on a walking aid with her children escorting her to work; a doctor planned to cut the leg and fit metal. She joined NSPPD in August 2022, and in December, when Pastor Jerry declared at a conference "walking aids, walk out", she dropped it and has walked since. She completed the three-year posting, retired "from service alive", and a promotion withheld since 2022 was released in February 2025.
- Emmanuel, Streams of Joy Port Harcourt (caption "pot"): pains from last year, a first scan found nothing, a second test in April found H. pylori; two weeks of medication failed. During "God of Wonders", replaying an "Oh Lord, Show Me Mercy" Wednesday at midnight, he heard "H. pylori reversed", was healed instantly, worked out and ate the foods he could not. In August a three-year deal closed: a client wanting one car bought three. "I prayed for one, God gave me three."
- Efedola Rachel (fourth service): from 4 July, during the 14-day fast, dizziness, high eye pressure and a closing right eye; diagnosed with ptosis with a possible tumour. MRI on 19 July, the day of the NSPPD USA prayer conference, where Pastor Jerry said "you can't see with one of your eyes, let it be reversed", and on Sunday "eye surgery cancelled". The MRI was normal; she never opened the referral to an oculoplastic surgeon. Three weeks later the eye popped open on its own, crossed at first. A relative doctor suggested myasthenia gravis; on 6 August Pastor Jerry declared "myasthenia gravis reversed", and her sight is now fully clear.
Words of knowledge / healing declarations

- Garments of delay and disappointment burnt.
- Anxieties reversed; pain in the heart region you are afraid to check; feet burning as if walking through fire.
- Miraculous reconciliation.
Important message
- God answers according to His capability, not your capacity. Every answer from Him carries a seed of more answers, matures you before it gives to you, and stirs the gates of hell; "if it came too easy, is it God that brought it?"
- God's answers are generational, not individualistic. What man gives can be lost; the favour God gives runs in your DNA and can be passed to your children by impartation.
- Every answer has angels assigned to it, and every answer starts in eternity; prayer brings into time what God has already answered.
- This is a season of demonstration. The gospel is power, not words only; don't let the devil cower you into timidity.
- Seasons are preceded by sounds. Elijah heard before he saw. Know your sound (celebration, congratulation, the miraculous) and refuse any sound that is not yours.
- It rained water, not food. Rain produces growth, and growth produces the harvest that reverses famine. Your growth is your rain; your prayers may be "too small for the size of your destiny", so God lets you grow.
- Go back to your Carmel: situations differ, but the patterns of God are constant. What He did before is your evidence and your last testimony is your precedent.
- "That the rain stop thee not." The blessing you prayed for must not make you prayerless, worldly or settled; thank God for the rain and keep moving.
- Darkness before the downpour is a sign, not a verdict: the blacker the sky, the heavier the rain.
- The door is great and effectual: large, and active. God opened it "unto me", so it cannot be copied, stolen, married away or gossiped shut, and no one who "would not have called my name" gets a vote.
- Adversaries do not stop an opened door. They wait camouflaged at the threshold with small weapons, so watch the little foxes.
- The access code at a door that will not open is His word and His name, not your strength. And "behold" is a spiritual responsibility: most people do not lack an open door, they fail to see it. "Let them take everything from you, but may they never take your vision."
