DRY BONES WILL LIVE AGAIN

The service opens mid-fire, in the closing stretch of the 14-day prayer and fasting. Pastor Jerry has the congregation declare that anything in soul, spirit or body not in line with God's will "must be altered on this altar," and he immediately begins calling out what he is seeing - a wheelchair lifted up, then another; then a word for any woman trusting God for the fruit of the womb: "no matter what the medical report, carry your evidence right now." The salvation call comes early, before the main prayer.

The message itself is Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, preached as a command rather than a story. "I prophesied as I was commanded... and there was a noise" - Pastor Jerry insists the noise was not a noise of shame or pain, but the sound of transition, of a new season, of God doing what man cannot do, and he has the house declare "I hear the noise." He layers three other resurrection pictures on it: Lazarus ("roll away the stone... come out"), the first and last Adam ("the last Adam was a quickening spirit - I am a lifegiver spirit"), and Paul stoned at Lystra and dragged out of the city for dead until the brethren gathered around him and he rose up. On that last picture he leads the whole congregation to "gather around" one another's careers, finances, children, businesses, sick husbands, wives and children and command them to rise.

Two further turns sharpen the charge. From Ezekiel 37:12 - "I will bring you out of your graves" - he argues you cannot be alive while your certificate, your marriage, your health, your consecration, your celebration stay buried: "whatsoever the enemy has planned will remain in the grave while I am still alive - you lie." And from Psalm 137 he has the house refuse the captor's demand for a song: "I will not sing the Lord's song in a strange land," because to sing it there is to accept that captivity is your inheritance. He also breaks off twice for unscheduled prayers - that stubborn pursuers be rewarded with shame, and that every crafted plot of wickedness "boomerang."

A long block of words of knowledge follows, mostly medical, each ended with "if you are the one, put it on the live stream, the devil is a liar - let it be reversed." Then the announcement of a new season: 40 Days of Power, Miracles and Manifestation, beginning Monday and running to Friday 21st, the day before his birthday on the 22nd - a season he says they did not plan but noticed, because testimonies kept clustering around that date.

Three testimonies are played, and the last one produces the day's most striking moment: a man told he had a 95% likelihood of adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon, brought onto the altar by a doctor he met in a TikTok gastritis group, whose repeat colonoscopy found no stricture at all - and the doctor herself appears on video to confirm it. Pastor Jerry answers with communion and the closing declaration of Psalm 91, and sends everyone out with the day's word: "Dry bones are alive."

Theme and timing

• Theme of the day: Dry bones will live again / "Dry bones are alive."
• This is near the end of the 14 days of prayer and fasting; the fast closes on Sunday.
• Evening prayers continue at 5:30 p.m. Nigerian time - Saturday 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 5:30 p.m. Morning services run as usual, then the closing prayer in the evening.
• 40 Days of Power, Miracles and Manifestation (40 days of PMM) begins Monday and runs to Friday the 21st; Pastor Jerry's birthday is the 22nd. He says it was not planned - they noticed testimonies clustering around his birthday and counted the days. Day one's theme: "God of wonders, God of perfection." Every day of the 40 will have a unique prayer point on the altar. Pastor Jerry says he is already on a fast and will continue it until that day.
• Declared operations for the season: "the evidence is in your hands", "no more obstacle", "divine alignment", "the sound of a new season", "breakout of favour", "helpers have arrived", "the Lord has done it his way", "my season is not empty."

Salvation

• Salvation prayer led twice (early in the prayer and again after the testimonies): "Lord Jesus, come into my life. Come and be my Lord and personal Saviour. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me. Sanctify me. And make me pure and holy again. Amen."

Communion

Three servings, each followed by "eat of the flesh of Jesus and drink of the blood of the new covenant":

1. From the crown of your head to the sole of your feet, whatever is not of God - let it be flushed out.
2. Dry bones are alive.
3. A communion of thanksgiving: on your knees, ask the Lord for nothing, just thank him - "I decree it is done."

Testimonies played

• Antonia Richard (Lagos, Nigeria) - after completing the January 21-day fast, her husband returned from the village seriously ill. Diagnosed first as malaria and typhoid with an infection in the red blood cells; his condition collapsed - memory loss, vomiting greenish matter, foaming at the mouth, seizures; the MRI could not be done because of the seizures. A CT scan showed the virus had reached his brain; it was later named as meningitis. Her in-law brought a mantle from the Lagos conference and she laid it on his head. On 9 February she joined the 7 a.m. prayer and held on to two words - "any spirit of death, let it be reversed" and "anyone that is sent an arrow of seizure, let that seizure be terminated." The seizures ceased immediately; he became stable, slept, ate, began speaking and questioning his doctor himself; the kidney issue resolved and the man who could not walk was walking. She showed the medical report on camera. The doctor told her: "Madam, that God you are serving - hold on to your God."
• Chaka (Denmark) - believed for twins on the altar. On Pastor Jerry's birthday (August 2024) she and her husband came with downloaded pictures of twins as he prophesied over women trusting for the fruit of the womb; she placed her hand on his chest and "grabbed" her twins. That night she dreamt of his birthday gift-sharing, where she was passed over, then encouraged not to be afraid to ask, and given two notes (two 500s, one blue and one green) instead of one. She had planned to conceive in 2025 but conceived in November 2024; a scan during the January 21-day fast confirmed twins; the pregnancy was smooth and a boy and a girl were born on 11 July 2025. Her charge: "whatever you want on this altar, be serious, be desperate."
• The brother from Benue State (captions render his name as "Tama"; Pastor Jerry and the doctor call him Samuel) - over three weeks of severe difficulty passing stool. A colonoscopy scope could not pass the sigmoid junction; a barium enema showed an obstruction, giving a 95% chance of adenocarcinoma. Through a gastritis TikTok group, a doctor took interest, prayed with him, and asked him to join NSPPD at 7 a.m. every morning - waking him with calls and offering to buy him data. On the morning of his CT scan he heard "what they saw before, they will not see it again"; the report shifted to IBD/IBS with a 2.5 cm stricture narrowing the sigmoid colon, no mass, clean lymph nodes and organs. The biopsy showed only lymphocytic colitis, no cancerous growth; surgery to resect the colon was still scheduled. On the Monday of the "reverse by fire" prayer he knelt and declared it. At the repeat colonoscopy, the specialist asked permission to try passing the sigmoid instead of just measuring - he passed it, three separate times, with no stricture and no pain, and recorded it on tape for the surgeon. He may not need the surgery; his symptoms, weight and appearance have all recovered. He had doubted that the testifiers were genuine strangers to Pastor Jerry - and decided to become that testimony himself. He now shares the link and invites others.
• Dr. J.V.N., senior registrar, department of paediatrics, Federal Medical Centre - appeared on video to confirm she is the doctor who brought Samuel to the platform, that his complaints were the classical symptoms of a growing cancer, and that she prayed and declared "what was seen before will not be seen again."

1. Prophesying is commanded, not optional. Ezekiel did not wait for the bones to look promising - "I prophesied as I was commanded." Your part is to speak over what is dry; the noise is God's part.
2. The noise is the point. When the bones rattled it was not a noise of shame or pain but the sound of transition - of a new season, of the hand of the Lord at work, of God doing what man cannot do. "If you hear the noise, shout."
3. You cannot be alive while what belongs to you stays in the grave. "I will bring you out of your graves" applies to the certificate, the marriage, the health, the business, the ministry, the celebration. Being alive with your things buried is a contradiction the enemy planted.
4. What God raised cannot be killed twice. They gathered to kill Lazarus a second time and failed. Whatever the Lord has raised in your life will not die.
5. Resurrection is now your nature, not just your hope. The last Adam was a quickening spirit; that life lives in you - "I am a lifegiver spirit." Which is why the command "arise" can be spoken over a dead ministry, a tired believer, a burden of shame.
6. Refuse to sing the captor's song. If you sing the Lord's song in a strange land, the captors will make you believe your captivity is your inheritance. Declaring health while accepting sickness, declaring completion while settling for less - "it's an error."
7. Faith gathers around what is dying. The brethren surrounded Paul and he rose. The church is meant to close ranks around each other's dead things and command them to live.
8. The "exceeding great army" is present-continuous. Whatever stopped them before will not stop them again - the increase keeps increasing.
9. Nothing left in the hands of the Lord goes unanswered. "Nobody leaves anything in the hands of the Lord and does not see the hand of the Lord."
10. Testimony is the easiest evangelism there is. The last testimony is not "let us open to the book of Mark" - it is "come and see what the Lord has done." A doctor became a witness and brought a dying man to the altar. "The Lord will give you evidence that will make you convert others."
11. Do not treat God's seasons as seasonal. Don't fast, then disappear until the next fast. God has "hooked you" with 40 days - stay on the altar with the same fire you came with.
