Every night from the 3rd to the 23rd at 8 p.m, be here for a word in season
What's going on, everybody? Welcome to this special weekend episode of Dimensions. During the fast, just from the 3rd to the 23rd, we're going to be going seven nights a week at 8 p.m., helping you keep oiling your lip, loving your heart, and send a lemon out of your life. And listen, you've got to have your water here. I've got my water here while you're in the middle of a fast. And you say, why is that? Well, because water is the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of fasting champions. So that's what you got to do. You got to have lots of water during the fast. You should drink lots of water anyway, but you definitely got to have lots of water during the fast. It's Saturday night, y'all. I remember I used to be doing service times around this time a year ago. But now God has blessed us. We are in a new building and in a new place and in a new location. And I'm so excited about it. I'm excited about what God's going to do in 2026. And while we're fasting and praying and getting ourselves all filled up, I want to make sure that each and every day I'm bringing something special to you. So you're not going to want to miss this prophetic episode of Dimensions. I don't know what I'm going to share. I don't have everything laid out right now. I just know it's going to be good and it's going to be a blessing to you. So stay tuned because Dimensions starts right now. It's your boy Jay Anthony Gilbert back in the house here for Dimension. I'm so excited to be coming to you on a Saturday night at 8 p.m. Listen, all throughout the fast. We started our fast from the 3rd to the 23rd. We will be on Dimensions every single night at 8 p.m. So prepare, lock it in on your calendar, set your alarm clock, set a little buzzer to go off at about 7.55 to get yourself prepared to not miss any episode of Dimensions during the fast. And when I say fast, that's why I've got my pure life water here. I hope you got your water because water is the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of fasting champions, ladies and gentlemen. It's not soda, it's not chicken wings, it's not subs, it's not all that. It's water, y'all. This is the time where we open up ourselves and we allow the Holy Spirit to come and to speak. For man does not live by bread alone, but every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. So I want to encourage you, seven days a week, y'all. We're going to be here at 8 p.m. from the 3rd to the 23rd. I am so excited to be doing this, and I can't wait each and every night for the Spirit of the Lord to see what He's going to say in these moments. So it's going to be really, really good. But otherwise, we're here set five nights a week, every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. And listen, as always, take a minute right now to like, subscribe, follow, and share. Let everybody know that you're watching Dimensions. Get the word out. People are looking to be fed throughout this time. This is a time to turn off your television, turn off everything else, and get into the presence of the Lord. Get into the Word of God. Get yourself filled up. Allow the Holy Spirit to align you and to position you for what He's about to say and do in 2026. Because He's got some great things in store for you, but you've got to recognize the time, season, and moment that we are in. Put yourself into position to get filled up and saturated. Get yourself a vision for 2026. So then, therefore, you know where to lock and load, ready your weapons, and to begin to launch out and do what it is that the Spirit of the Lord is calling you to do. So take a minute, like, subscribe, follow, and share so everybody can keep oil in their lamps, love in their heart, sin 11 out of your life. That's the reason why dimensions exist, is to help prepare the body of Christ, the bride of Christ for the return of Jesus Christ. Because ladies and gentlemen, he is coming back soon. And we want to make sure that we've got that oil in our lamp so then we don't get let off into deception. You know, there's a lot of darkness. God spoke to me a few months ago and about the fall of 2025 and said that darkness was coming, that a wave of deception was coming, that there are things that are happening in the earth that are going to continue to arise, but to keep that oil in your lamp and to keep love in your heart and to keep sin 11 out. Don't allow, listen, carnality to come into your life. That is very, very important. Don't allow carnality to come into your life. Don't allow things of the world to creep into your life. The purpose of fasting is to crucify your flesh once again, to shed off the old wineskin, to sharpen the axe head, to get yourself into a place and a position to where you're filled up and saturated with the power of God. And one of the great things about fasting is that it helps us to rid ourselves of the things of carnality and the things of the flesh. It helps us to get the leaven out of our life. Leaven is things that may not necessarily be sin, but it caters to the sinful nature. It caters to the carnal nature. It creates an appetite. See, one of the things that'll happen is as you're fasting, you'll develop more of an appetite for the things of God. You'll begin to have more of a passion for the things of God. You'll have more of a hunger and a thirst for the things of God and less for the things of the world. And the more that you shed off the flesh, the more that God is going to open your eyes to what he has for you. You do understand that the eyes of your understanding must be enlightened. Let's go over there real quickly to Ephesians, chapter number three, I believe it is. I did not plan on going here. I just I turn on the camera. I prayed up. I've been in my Bible literally, literally all day today, seeking the face of God and spending time with him. And I believe that God's got great things in store for you. Hallelujah. Ephesians chapter one. Let's look here at verse number 15. You ready? Grab your Bible. Listen, you should get a Bible. You've got to have a Bible, ladies and gentlemen. And not just one of these. I'm looking at my desk over here. I've got a couple of Bibles laid out there, actual Bibles. You got to have those as well. You know, the most important thing is that you're reading it, but there's nothing like having a good old-fashioned paper Bible that you can go through as well. But Ephesians chapter 1, verse number 15 says, Therefore, I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. Look at this here. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, hallelujah, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened. My good God. My prayer today is that our eyes of our understanding would be opened, that they would be enlightened, that our understanding has an ability to see. That means understanding has perspective, it has perception. The eyes of your perspective, your perspective has eyes. It's how your understanding sees things. Are you with me? The eyes of your understanding. So that means my understanding has an ability, it has vision, it has perspective, it has perception. And so Paul prayed that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened. Korara Bashita. Father, I pray right now for every person listening and watching that right now the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened, oh God, that their eyes would come open right now in the name of Jesus, supernaturally that it would happen in the name of Jesus. You know, that's the purpose behind fasting. It removes the veil from your understanding that you might be able to look at the rest, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Now, watch this. When you begin to fast, when you begin to pray, it sheds off the veil of the flesh. The flesh is what blinds your understanding, the flesh is what dulls your hearing. The flesh is what causes you not to be able to understand the things of the spirit. It is what blocks you from the spirit. That's why the Bible talks about circumcising the heart. Remove the flesh from the heart. So then the heart is sensitive to the moving of the Holy Spirit. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened. When you fast, it gives you more of an ability to have your understanding enlightened. It's an opportunity to shut off all the things that normally distract us and cause us to go to the left and to the right. And it causes us to focus in on the things of God. You begin to dig out the scriptures. Hallelujah. Would somebody type that in the chat right now? You've got to dig out the scriptures when you fast. Come on, put that in there for me. Dig out the scriptures when you fast. You've got to dig it out. You can't just sit back and not do anything. You've got to dig out the scriptures in the name of Jesus. You've got to dig into the things of God. You've got to seek the Lord. The Bible says in Isaiah chapter number 55, seek the Lord while he may be found. Call upon him while he is near. The flesh removes the veil of the I'm sorry, fasting removes the veil of the flesh, so then you might be able to see what is the hope of his calling. Come on, somebody. That you can see what is the hope of his calling. This is the reality. And look what he says here, that you may know what his hope is calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Do you realize there is an inheritance inside of you? And that as you begin to fast, God wants to show you. Let me help you right now. 2026 is going to be a year that God is going to bring many people into what he has prepared them for, and what has been prepared for them are getting ready to intersect. You're getting ready to come into collision. You're about to have a collision head-on course with the inheritance that you have been prepared for. God has an inheritance for your life. Fasting is a way that we remove the distractions, we remove the veil of the flesh, and we position ourselves to see and to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to us. And then this is the thing. Now watch this. This is important. I want you to catch this. You must be in a position to hear from him. And then when he reveals it to you, you've got to begin to pray and to seek the face of God about what he has showed you. So maybe God is speaking to you about your family getting saved. And that's what he has. Look at this. Maybe it's you're going to have children and you haven't been able. Maybe you're going to be debt-free. Whatever it might be, you've got to begin to pray and read the word and seek out the scriptures and begin to study. Because wherever God gives revelation, watch this, he puts his anointing upon that area. And as you search out the scriptures, you will begin to see in the scriptures more mysteries from the scriptures that will help you get to what that inheritance that he has for your life. So wherever he's talking to you, as you're fasting, the purpose behind this 21 days of fasting is to begin to seek the Lord so then you can see what he has out in front of you. And then as you see the prophetic oracle from the Lord, you begin to dig it out in the scriptures. So what is God talking to you about in 2026? What has God been speaking to you about? I'd like to know that. What is God talking to you about in 2026? And therefore, whatever he's talking to you about, you've got to begin to research the scriptures. You've got to begin to pray in that direction. You've got to begin to push into the area that God has revealed to you. Ephesians 1:15, look at this again. Verse 18. It says, the eyes of your understanding, being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. That inheritance that's in you, what happens is the veil of the flesh gets removed through fasting, so you can begin to see that your eyes would be flooded with light. Hallelujah. Matter of fact, let's look at that there in the amplified real quickly. Let's take a peek at this so I can show you this here. Ephesians 1, verse number 18. And I pray that the eyes of your heart, the very center and core of your being, may be enlightened, flooded with light by the Holy Spirit, so that you will know and cherish the hope, the divine guarantee, the confident expectation to which he has called you. My good God, did you see that right there? The divine guarantee, the confident expectation to which he has called you. Now watch this. When God floods your eyes, your inner being, your understanding with the revelation of his word, there is a divine guarantee that comes with it. There is a confident expectation that what he has called you to, you will have. Come on, somebody. Can I get an amen in the house right now? God is bringing you into the inheritance that he has for your life. Come on, somebody. That is so powerful when you think about that. Now let's go back here. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe? According to the working of his mighty power, which he worked in Christ Jesus when he raised from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion in every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come, and put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in out. Now he said a mouthful there, but to encapsulate it, what he is saying to us, ladies and gentlemen, is that because he's given us this exceeding great and precious promises, all power has been given to us, all authority has been given to us. That's why we have a guarantee that it is going to happen. What he reveals to you will come to pass if you press into it. So I want to encourage you, what is your vision for 2026? What are you believing God to do? Even in the middle of the fasting right now, I'm in the middle of fasting, just like many of you are. I'm asking the Lord, what do you want us to accomplish? Father, what is the blueprint for 2026? I believe that we're in a season as well, ladies and gentlemen, that how we have done things in the past does not mean we're necessarily doing it in this season. I believe that when we crossed over into 2026, that we are in a prophetic season shift, that the season has changed. Daniel 2.20, he changes the times and the seasons. He raises up kings and removes kings. There's a whole lot to that passage there, but that's the main part of what I'm mentioning right now. That God has changed the times and the seasons. God said, prepare yourself for sudden shifts to happen in your life. You've got to be prepared. See, this reason why you've got to begin to pray. You've got to begin to seek the face of God. You've got to begin to call out to Him because listen, if you don't recognize the time and the season and the moment you're in, you won't press in and it doesn't just fall into your lap. You've got to move yourself into position. You've got to put yourself into position to get a new wineskin, to get a new revelation, to get new insight. God is doing a new thing. Do you understand how prophetic even this year is in our nation? That it is the 250th year. That is, it means that we are in a Jubilee season. Five Jubilees have hit America. Could this be a time where we are going to tap into the great awakening? Could it be a time because we're in a 50th year and a Jubilee year is symbolic of this? Now watch this. It's the fifth Jubilee, five being the number of grace. Could this be the awakening that is coming to America? Could it be? I'm not saying prophetically that God is telling me that it is. I'm saying it's a prophetic moment. 250 years, five Jubilees, the number of grace. Jubilee is when everything goes back to its rightful owner. I believe one of the major words that God gave me for 2026. Watch this. In 2026, it is a year of restoration. This will be a time that people that have sowed in tears are going to reap enjoy. This is going to be a time that God is going to open up the books and what needs to be brought to you is going to be brought to you. You are going to see some people that are going to begin to reap very, very heavily. They're going to reap, watch this. You're going to see a lot of people reap heavily, but some are going to reap well and some are going to reap not so well based upon how they have sowed. This is a time of restoration when God is going to right the wrongs, and then he is also going to do right by those that have done wrong. And what I mean by that, he's going to make sure justice comes to them. Restoration is coming in 2026. It is here and now in the name of Jesus. And the reason why I'm saying this to you is because when God begins to bring restoration into your life, he will open up your eyes. He's going to flood your understanding with light. So then you would know what is the hope of this calling, that you would have the divine guarantee that what he's showing you during your fast, what he's showing you in the beginning of this year is going to manifest in him through your life. I hope that you can get excited about this because God is getting ready to bring something into your life that you have never had before. God is getting ready to make it up to you in a way that has never been made up before. God is getting ready. People that have done you wrong and you still bless them, God is going to make it up to you. When you are faithful to God and you've sowed and you served and you did all the things you need to do and have not seen the harvest yet, I'm prophetically declaring over your life, this is the season that God is going to restore you and he's going to begin to bless you in a supernatural way. This is not a time to be discouraged. This is a time to be encouraged. This is a time to lift up your eyes and get a new perspective. Why? This is what I was just praying to you or saying to you, and I'm praying over you. In verse number 17 and 18 of Ephesians 1 again, I do not cease to give thank that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling. You know, I was studying today, I've been studying through different individuals about the latter ends of their lives, about a Season of restoration in different people. And I was watching how the Lord made it up to different people based upon what they have been through. And I believe that there are many of you listening and watching right now that you have been through many things in your life and you have not seen the harvest of it. You have not seen, you've been faithful. And I believe that we're in a season too that God is really ready. This is a time for those that have an ear to hear, that God is ready to do the things that He's performed. There are many people, I have been praying and interceding for people, because I believe many people are heart sick in this season. And that what do I mean by that? The Bible says hope deferred in the book of Proverbs make the heart sick, but a promise fulfilled is a tree of life. There are many of you that are still cultivating a promise that has not been fulfilled. And this will be the year, watch this, that God is going to fulfill the areas that have not been fulfilled yet. And the reason why your heart has been sick is because God has not done with that promise, and you don't even have the strength to believe it. You don't have the strength and the faith to try to push it out again, but God is going to do it anyways, and He's going to revive you and He's going to restore you in the year of 2026. Can I get an Amen, somebody? Hallelujah. I believe God is going to restore the years, that the locusts, the caterpillar, the canker worm, and the palma worm have eaten. God is restoring to you the years. Come on, somebody, that the locusts, the caterpillar, the canker worm, the crawling locusts, the consuming locust, the chewing locust, the things that God is going to give the armies that God has sent amongst you, but God is getting ready to give it back to you in the name of Jesus. I believe this is your time, season, and moment. I want you to stay encouraged right now. And that's the reason why I also said, you know what, I'm going to come on seven days a week, just so y'all know. Hope y'all are taking a minute on your Facebook page or YouTube page to share this, that which is coming out. It's seven days a week, every single day at 8 p.m. Your boy's going to be right here, live at 8 o'clock, bringing a word in season because I want us to be positioned for what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. Tomorrow morning, 10 a.m., I'm going to be in church. I'm going to be filled up with the word, ready to run in the name of Jesus and to do what it is that God has called me to do. This is a time that the devil, you know, the devil really shouldn't even let me get to January because by the time I come out of my prayer and fasting, y'all, I'm in, I'm going to spend so much time. I have spent so much time already, but even more, so I'm going to be in the Word. That's all I'm doing is, and listen, you've got to get yourself your water. This is the, this is the meal, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of fasting champions. You just simply go with water. I know a lot of people like to do the Daniel fast. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with doing a total or uh sunrise or sunset fast. But put some days in there where you don't do nothing but water. Put some days in there where you really press into God and you put that flesh under subjection. You want a true anointing? A true anointing. If you want the ultimate anointing, it comes from an ultimate price. You've got to pay a price in order to have that in and through your world. So I want to encourage you, press in because God wants to show you things. Even for my ministry, I'm seeking the Lord right now. You know what's amazing in the middle of all of this fasting and stuff, I got word that uh they're shutting down three of the four planned parenthoods in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Come on, somebody. I mean, three of four of them are going to be shut down in the name of Jesus. Come on. God is moving. This is a season of restoration. This is a season, I believe in our nation, it's a Jubilee season, just because it's a 50th year. It's another 50 years, and this is a time where things are going to begin to happen. And I believe for your life, you need to claim a Jubilee in 2026, that all that has been lost is coming back to you. My good God Almighty. I believe that with all of my heart. I believe this is a season that God said, I'm going to restore your joy. That's been one of the biggest words that God gave me about 26, that this will be a year of restoration, that God is going to restore the years. Come on, somebody. God is going to restore you. He's going to restore your joy. He's going to restore your faith. And I, and if you receive these words, like maybe you're talking about, well, Pastor Jay, I'm believing in restoration of the joy. I believe that. I believe that's for me. I'm believing in restoration of my finances. I'm believing in a restoration of my relationship. Start reading in those areas because there will be an anointing that God will flood your understanding with light to know the hope of his calling. It's not just you making something up. That's why even when you listen to your pastor, you're listening to a preacher, if you're tuning into another level online, if you're tuning into me or your pastor, wherever it is that you go and something comes alive and you start studying it. The purpose behind revelation from a pulpit is to show you where you need to dig. Revelation from the pulpit shows you the field that you need to begin to dig because if there's revelation there, you can dig out even more. Come on, somebody. The purpose by, see, people think because they got a good word from the pulpit that it's over. No, what that preacher did is put you in the field where you need to dig for the pearl. The Bible talks about the pearl of great price, how when he had bought one pearl, found one pearl in a field, he went and sold all that he had and dug in that field because he said if there was one pearl in there, there's going to be several pearls in there. So I'm encouraging you right now, if something comes alive in you during this fast, don't think because it was sounded good from the pulpit, you got it. No, God's saying, go home now, do your homework, research, study, read, get into the scriptures, and allow God to flood your eyes with light. My good God Almighty. God, open up my eyes that I might see what you have for me in this year of 2026. Because look what it says in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and verse number 8 through 10. It says, That I has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the physical, natural, carnal heart of man, the things that God has in store for those that love him. But I love this part here, he has revealed them unto us by his spirit. I'm going to pray here in just a moment that God would bring you supernatural revelation during this fast, that your eyes would come open and that God would begin to flood your understanding with the hope of the calling and the great things that He has in store for you in 2026. My good God Almighty, open up our eyes, oh God. Come on, if you receive that now, let me pray for you. Father, open up our eyes in the name of Jesus. Every person that's listening or watching, I declare in the name of Jesus that their eyes would come open, that they would be flooded with light, that their understanding would come alive, oh God, and that you would begin to bless them in supernatural ways, oh God. I pray, Father, that we would not be lethargic, lazy, Father, uh disinterested in the revelation you've given us. But Lord, we would pay the price and dig out the revelation and the things that you have in store for us. Father, I pray for every person listening and watching, that as they fast, Father, they would not cater to their flesh. But Lord, they would walk in the supernatural power of the Spirit. And Lord, that they would be anointed in the name of Jesus. That Lord, they would see what you have in store for them, that they would believe what you have in store for them, and they would begin to walk in what you have in store. So, Father, I bless them now in the name of Jesus. I bless them now, Father, even in this fast, Father, that you would anoint them and fill them in the name of Jesus. And Lord God, that you would do wondrous things in and through their lives. And Father, we thank you. Lord, we give you praise, we give you honor, and we give you glory for your goodness and blessing. Father, I pray for every person that's listening and watching, every pastor, every church, that tomorrow would be a Holy Ghost time. Father, that we would none of us would leave the same way that we came, but we all would leave changed, renewed, revived, and transformed, oh God. Filled, Father, with the power of your spirit, having our understanding flooded with light. And Father, we'll thank you for it. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Now listen, real quickly before I go, I want to mention to you guys again.

I know football is gonna be happening, the playoffs are going on, and everybody's all excited about it. And that's all good, all fine and dandy.
