THE LORD SUDDENLY TURNED IT - SHOUTS OF JOY
THE LORD SUDDENLY TURNED IT - SHOUTS OF JOY || SUNDAY SERVICE || 23RD NOVEMBER 2025
The God of suddenly is turning it around this week: stay at the gate, pray past the messenger, break every contradiction, and get ready to shout, because "it's already too late for you to fail."

Summary
The day opened "less than 40 days to the end of 2025" with a call to meet "the God of suddenly", then a week-long declaration: on each day of the coming week "suddenly the Lord turned it" in the order of Zion, Joshua the high priest, Joseph, Israel, and Jesus. A long fire session followed ("No more delay", "We break free... I overcome... I dominate", "Turn around by fire"). Pastor Jerry called out delay in childbearing and conception, "disappointment at the edge of breakthrough", a hole in the heart, a baby not developing in the womb, cancer spreading through chemotherapy, and a six-month-old child, and declared "Let it be reversed." His theme sentence: the world's systems are built against heaven, so when God acts in them "he has to turn it."
Every service had its own text, all on the same turnaround theme. First service (Acts 3:1-11): the lame man was carried to the Gate Beautiful every day. "Stay at the gate", because the gate is where decisions are made and where demonic gatekeepers sit. Ask only people who go into the temple, and do not look for counsel from people with no access to God. "Every turnaround does not come by silver and gold": each believer carries a "such as I have", so do not run your race on someone else's system. Prayer is legislation, not "vain repetition", and troubled water, as at Bethesda, can be the first sign of an answer. Second service (Luke 8:41-56): Jairus's name means light, but there was darkness in his house until the Word came. The crowd pressed Jesus with muscle, but the woman touched (Greek hapto, "to be made one") from her heart and carried out virtue. "When the woman saw that she was not hid": "You cannot be hid."
Third service (Mark 5:1-12): the Gadarene demoniac as a list of "contradictions" to break: crying on the mountain, cutting himself (powers that make people "walk against themselves", with Pastor Jerry's own story of a UNFPA interview nearly lost over certificates he had left under a car mat), alive among the tombs (dead dreams, careers, accounts), crying by night and by day, and worshipping Jesus while saying "What have I to do with thee?" Fourth service (2 Kings 20:1-7): Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, went past the messenger to the God who changes the report, and pleaded his walk with God. By "elimination method" his walk with God cancelled death. "Turn again... I have seen thy tears." God told him to plan for thanksgiving on the third day, and saved the city because the king lived. From there came a charge on leadership: it is a responsibility, not a privilege. "Sign the files on your table," and "Is it time?" (Elisha to Gehazi).
Testimonies ran through the day from Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Germany, the UK, the USA, Abakaliki, and Lagos. They covered a job rejection reversed, an amputation averted, a first-sitting NCLEX pass, a husband delivered from suicidal oppression, a Buddhist turned to Christ, a breech baby turned in the womb, and an ectopic pregnancy found back in the womb. Each service ended with Psalm 91 and a "2025" declaration to El Roi ("the God that sees me"). The declaration of the day, in his words: "Turn around by fire." Its companion line: "It's already too late for you to fail."
Information given
Theme and timing
- Sunday 23 November 2025, Streams of Joy Abuja: four services on one stream, each with its own reading (Acts 3, Luke 8, Mark 5, 2 Kings 20) and all under "The Lord Suddenly Turned It - Shouts of Joy".
- "Less than 40 days" to the end of 2025; "seven days" left in November.
- This week on NSPPD (Monday-Friday): five days of "And the Most High Showed Up: Established, Perfected, Settled", "another global crusade". Pastor Jerry said the Lord told him it will be a week of "instant turnarounds, impossibility turnarounds and generational turnarounds".
- Monday focus: growths in any part of the body; families where someone has died of protracted sickness; families with a history of premature or tragic death ("we're going to be cancelling that ordinance forever"); families where "everybody is average". Monday's word: "I am answering / handling what is left."
- Next Sunday, 30 November 2025: "And the Lord Reversed It", the healing and deliverance service in all four services, and the last Sunday of November.
Fast
- Skip breakfast again this week, 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday to Friday. "It will not kill you." He noted that some people drank tea and ate bread during last week's fast.
Items to bring
- A "suddenly list": every family goal (and personal goal) not yet completed, written with "suddenly" on it.
- A written list of every evil journey to cancel in the remaining days of 2025: "things that have journeyed with you" that you do not like.
Pastor Jerry's prayer WhatsApp channel
- Prayers, words, and voice messages will drop "back to back" and at random this week, as the Lord gives them. A special drop comes on Monday.
- Copy the channel link or scan the QR code and send it to someone.
Church calendar (Streams of Joy Abuja)
- Word & Fire midweek, "Finishing Powerfully", continues Thursday at 6 p.m.
- Discipleship class: Monday 24 November, 6 p.m., at the church premises.
- 12-year global anniversary: Sunday 7 December 2025. He first said "7th of November" and corrected himself. Dress code: men in white agbada with white embroidery and a royal purple cap; women in royal purple traditional monochrome from head to toe. "Don't spare anything." Ministers announced for the anniversary are hard to recover from the captions: "Laenjo bag" (unclear), "Great Man" (possibly Greatman Takit), and Moses Bliss ("Moses please").
- Crossover night (31 December): Sinach, Prosper Ochimana, and "sister Mirabel" (caption; name uncertain).
- Thanksgiving and dedication of babies, businesses, properties, and assets: Sunday 30 November 2025, fourth service. Details at the inquiry desk.
- Singles church variety and thanksgiving service, "Praise Unscripted": Sunday 14 December 2025, 4:30 p.m., church premises. Pastor Jerry said he will attend.
- Church building project is ongoing, with account details on screen. In the third service he showed video of the new Abuja building: luxurious interior, better parking, and a move "by the time we are done with our crossover night". "We built for where we were, not for where we are," hence multiple services.
- The Umuahia (Abia State) branch, where Streams of Joy started, moves into a bigger place in about two weeks. He thanked his wife.
- New branches: Streams of Joy will start in Benin and Enugu before the year ends. A third "major city" is being kept under wraps.
- Devotional books and MP3s at the Streams Emporium; partnership forms and testimony forms at the inquiry desk ("Don't keep that testimony. The year is ending.").
- First-timers: fill the usher's form. Visitors waved flags from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Zambia. In the fourth service, visitors from outside Nigeria were called out and blessed.
Pastor Jerry's own story
- At an interview for a UNFPA job, after a strong interview, his originals and photocopies were "nowhere to be found". He was told to leave. The driver later found the file under the car's floor carpet, brought it to the UNFPA building, and he was called back in. He used the story to illustrate "powers that make you walk against yourself."
- He said he rarely sleeps at night because he prays for every member, and "every outside declaration must first have a private altar."
Testimonies played / recapped
Second service
- Kingsley ("Fresh Talk"), comedian, Abuja: he wanted clean, non-vulgar comedy. He turned down an alcohol sponsor, a sponsor that wanted vulgar jokes, and one that wanted to add a secular artist, and got funding without debt. He also had an electric tool, broken since July, that he had packed up for repair; he picked it up during Thursday's inanimate-object prayer and it came on.
- Woman with an NGO (name not clear): unexplained head "signal interruptions", chest pain, and business collapse from late 2024; UK tests found nothing. After going church to church and "places I'm ashamed to say I went to", she had mobility problems, night noises ("witchcraft birds"), and was told her hair, clothes, and body fluid were at an evil temple. Her daughter brought her to a fourth (youth) service before 7 September. On about 9 September a word named exactly that altar and broke it. She has had no headaches or mobility problems since. The same week she got a contract from someone she had chased for a year and a US visa, with the trip funded. On the mantle prayer "two Fridays ago" she felt fire in her hand and received a large unexpected donation for her NGO the same day.
- Dami (from Addis Ababa, chartered accountant, 40th-birthday thanksgiving): on NSPPD since July 2021. Her first daughter struggled to learn and had falling dreams; now she gets top marks in maths and makes and sells beads (over 100k). Her second daughter's fungal big toenails, photographed in 2021, grew back new. At work she was moved to the organisation's highest office, then a unit head role. She took a year off to pray over her credentials on the church floor, then got a VP role without applying. An Addis Ababa job rejected her on 26 February; she wrote "reversed" on the email during "And the Lord Reversed It" week and left the torn paper under a chair. On 24 April they reopened her offer. When her husband's Addis posting was then threatened, she laid the notice on the altar. On 12 June a word said "who are they to remove your beautiful garments"; people rallied and it was reversed. She came to redeem her vow with the first of her earnings.
Third service
- Gold (Damola Gold?), from the Southwest; flew from Lagos: a self-described "lazy" student (K-dramas). She got into nursing late, failed two courses in 2021, asked God to finish without another resit, and graduated in 2024 with none. On crossover night she asked to pass the NCLEX (US/Canada/Australia licensing) at one sitting and to pay the "millions" for it; her business grew without adverts and paid for everything. Her internship leave was granted after a 4 September word ("they will change their mind"). She sat the exam in Kenya on 27 October, got all 150 questions after calling "El Roi" at each one (remembering a US nurse's testimony), and passed. "My new name is a registered nurse to the United States of America."
- Blessing Light Chaaka (caption spelling): the Holy Spirit told her to empty her account into church work instead of her business-contest budget. She fasted a week and skipped breakfast despite H. pylori, raised her outfit at the Thursday altar, and won the Abuja business contest "yesterday" before she had finished pitching. It was her second seven-figure prize, and sponsors are now calling. "You don't have to sleep with any man to make it."
- Emang (from Germany): a medical student in Ukraine when the war came, with a failed exam she could not resit. She joined NSPPD in December 2022, wrote detailed requests, and in summer 2023 was allowed to sit the exam abroad online; she passed it and a second one and is now a medical doctor. Weeks after joining a nursing programme in Germany as a student (September 2024), the head of the school hired her to teach the class she sat in. She never applied. Shoulder pain was healed at the NSPPD Ghana conference; she is in Abuja for her sister's wedding.
- Evergreen (from Abakaliki, Ebonyi): age 27, one-year-old baby. Her husband, an evangelist, had dreams of death, lost people week after week, and became depressed and suicidal, the same pattern that killed her father. She dry-fasted five days during a 6 a.m.-1 p.m. fast and emptied her account. Day one, a word that "the thing that is missing has been found": a lost property document was handed back to him "from nowhere". Next day the man manipulating him was caught and publicly disgraced, and her husband came home free and apologising. Her own side pain and heart palpitations were healed during the UK conference on 23 August, and the word "a clean bill of health" gave her courage to do the tests, which came back clear.
- Former Buddhist / New Ager (UK): she volunteered at the London Buddhist Centre. She met NSPPD in 2022 through a friend healed of cancer, and listened "as an ego exercise". During a Sunday word about an "evil cloud" she covered her eyes, saw herself unprotected, and gave her life to Christ. Warfare followed (a scorpion dream, a swollen hand) and she prayed through it with NSPPD. She has left the Buddhist centre, prays in tongues, and volunteers with the UK conference.
Fourth service
- Karen (Nairobi, Kenya; first time in Nigeria, on the altar in person since the 13th): a neighbour's stroke (brain clot) needed no operation. The same neighbour spent two months in HDU with an amputation marked on her leg; Karen kept her mantle on the leg, the senior doctor refused to amputate, and a word on the 29th "mercy prayer" named "Caroline's" leg. On her pattern of job terminations: a 2023 dream of double doors; one opened in Dubai on 13 March and one in the US on 14 March. The US embassy had held her passport for a month; on 15 August 2023 a word ("who is sitting on your destiny?") came and the visa was stamped by 16 August. She received an Australian visa on the 18th and flies there on the 28th.
- Woman redeeming a family vow (Mrs M?): her mother's funeral week, from 20 October, had over 2,000 guests, no accidents, no vendor delays, and no rain in their local government while it rained next door. Her tinnitus of 14+ years, worse since she was widowed six years ago, stopped two or three weeks ago.
- Emer (UK, pharmacist): joined in 2021 during COVID at 40. She relocated with her family to the UK and now coaches people into jobs to evangelise. The family visa was expiring on 21 February 2025, with no plan B. Two remembered words ("the third date, the 22nd": her interview was on 22 January; "the second congratulations call is yours") came true. She was offered the job on a Friday and got sponsorship ("URGENT") on 19 February. Her old employer kept her on part-time so she never went a day without income. She started on 18 June 2025, and on 18 September 2025 she got the keys to the family's own home. She urged everyone to attend the midweek service.
- Kim Madasu (USA; caption spelling): joined in 2020. A green card her lawyer expected to be cancelled was approved in 2021, and the biased officer was fired; she got a 10-year card instead of two. She printed her interviewers' LinkedIn photos to pray over and got a six-figure job at exactly the figure she wrote. Her breech baby turned during "Oh Lord Show Me Mercy" (the repositioning-by-mercy prayer). At delivery, with fever and complications, she played that prayer, and the baby was born before they got her to theatre, without a C-section. She has also bought her dream home.
- Woman from the fourth service (name not clear): her brother's UK visa refusal, blamed on years of childlessness, was reversed within 24 hours of a Thursday altar word on immigration challenges. A new visa was issued for both him and his wife. In 2024, after multiple miscarriages, doctors found an ovarian cyst (4.8 cm, then 6.5 cm), fibroids, and an ectopic pregnancy, and booked surgery; she did not go. She slept with a stone from the church under her pillow and heard "that thing you are afraid of will not happen" and a call for pregnant women to kneel. At five months the scan showed the cyst gone and the pregnancy in the womb, and the reserved blood was not needed. She held up the baby as her evidence.
Words of knowledge / healing declarations
- A multiple hole in the heart; "who took your wedding gown and soaked it in the mud"; walking without eyesight or vision and falling into a ditch.
- "You put in 10 years, they reduced it to two"; a baby in the womb "not well developed"; cancer that "spreads the more you take chemotherapy"; a six-month-old child.
- Someone who met him two weeks ago with a cancer report and came back "last night" with the report gone; "You don't have cervical cancer. It has been turned around."
- Delay in childbearing and conception, lack of visibility, rising and falling, obituary patterns, witchcraft attack.
- Anyone who left a strange object in your house: "that thing will fall out by itself." Two children placed "in the wilderness of nowhere": broken.
- A door that is open "but you are bigger than the door": the right door will open. Drugs taken for a long time: turned around.
- In the first service: "no stray bullet to anyone"; "your family will not be put to a premature mourning in November"; "in 3 days, what you lost, you didn't know you lost, they will give it back to you."
- "Let the Lord prove it before Thursday morning"; "in 48 hours... conditions will not remain the way they are"; "a 24-hour miracle... you will scream for joy sooner than you ever imagined"; "Let Him show you a sign in 24 hours."
Offering
- Offerings, tithes, and partnership were raised as a wave offering in each service, with 1 Peter 5:10 in the first. "I feel a shift coming this week. The water has just been troubled for your sake."
Important message
- Turnaround is how heaven acts in a hostile system. The world's systems, gatekeepers, policies, and evil altars are built to keep God out. When God moves, "he has to turn it", as Jesus turned the Sabbath, water, and synagogue readings. The last turnaround was not yesterday; with God they go "from glory to glory".
- Stay at the gate. The lame man was not perfect, but he was at the gate. The gate is where decisions are made and where demonic gatekeepers sit, and whoever controls the gate decides who goes in. Prayer is how you hold the gate; let nothing push you off it.
- Such as I have. Not every turnaround comes by silver and gold. God puts an unseen deposit on each person (as on Esther, the Hebrew boys, Peter, Paul, Naaman's maid, Elijah). At your gate season your generation will ask for "such as you have": give your own, and do not change yourself to fit their style.
- Prayer is legislation, and troubled water is a sign. A royal priesthood with "one foot in the affairs of men, the other in the courts of heaven". The seven spirits of God release counsel, might, wisdom, and knowledge. What looks like chaos may be the answer arriving.
- Identity needs the Word. Jairus was "light" by name with darkness in his house; confession without the Word does not change things. Touch like the woman did, from the heart and with an agenda, not like the pressing crowd. Once virtue enters you, "you cannot be hid."
- Break the contradictions. God's promises and your experience are not meant to disagree. Do not cry on your mountain, cut yourself, carry dead things while alive, weep in your daytime, or worship while living "what have I to do with thee". "You are in your daytime season": the tears, betrayals, burials, and rejections are over.
- Your walk with God cancels things. Like Hezekiah, go past the messenger and the ugly process to God, and do not hide your tears from Him. In Christ we plead the gift of righteousness, not our works. But make sure you have a walk: "I never knew you" is the warning. Plan your thanksgiving before the healing shows.
- Leadership is a responsibility. God saved the city because the king lived. Dead consciences in leadership lose cities. Using work time for private business, idle payrolls, and diverted funds are all corruption. Ask "Is it time?" before taking a blessing, because a premature blessing can become your nemesis.
- It is already too late for you to fail. If God can revive a blender, a fridge, or a motorcycle, He will not forget the apple of His eye. This is "that week that you prayed for".
What he asks of us
Today / this season
- Shout, and say it aloud: "Turn around by fire," "No more delay," "Contradictions are broken," "I will not walk against myself," "Turn again." Rehearse how you will shout when your turnaround lands.
- Stay at the gate: keep praying even when nothing seems to move. Do not ask counsel of those with no access to God.
- Make sure you have a walk with God. Bring your tears to Him, not to people. Start preparing your thanksgiving.
- "Know God for yourself": do not live by fear-mongering "prophets". If a word is too heavy, bring it to Monday's altar to be cancelled.
- In any leadership role, "sign the files on your table" on Monday, do not slow down productive people over personal grudges, and come to work early.
- Listen to the Mark 5 message again ("these contradictions are broken").
- Send testimonies (pick up a testimony form) before the year ends, and join the midweek service.
- First-timers: fill in the usher's form and hand it in.
