SPEAKER_00:

Well, it's Thursday night, another night of dimensions. It's 8 p.m. And listen, this is the last of the last. We've got one more day left of our fast. We've been having such a time. And I tell you what, I feel great. And I tell you what, when you're eating the things of heaven and pushing aside the things of the flesh, it's an outstanding time. So tonight, I've got some great things to share with you. I've got some exciting things. And uh I'm real encouraged about what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. And we're gonna be wrapping up our fast tomorrow. So I've got some great things to share that you're not gonna want to miss. It's gonna be good. We're gonna have a time as we always do right here on Dimensions. So lock and load, ready your weapons, because Dimensions starts right now. And I'm looking forward to getting in on this. Now, listen, before I go any further, I want to mention this very, very important that everybody take a minute to like, subscribe, follow, and share all those wonderful things that we normally do. And if you have not downloaded the Dimensions podcast, make sure you go wherever podcasts are being held and go ahead and take a hold of that. And uh you will be the latest member of the Dimensions family. And that's guess what? You'll never miss a Dimensions episode. Every time we finish our live portion, we upload it, and guess what happens? It'll come right to wherever you are, and you will never ever miss an opportunity to tap into what God is saying in the prophetic now. You know, the whole purpose behind doing all of this is to help people uh keep oiling their lamps, loving their heart, and sin 11 out of their lives. And because Jesus Christ is coming back soon. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, he is, and we want to be ready when he comes. Can I get an amen, somebody? So it's gonna be a great time tonight. I'm so glad that y'all have tuned in and uh got a lot of things that I'm gonna be stirring around in my spirit, getting ready to release to you. And uh there's a crazy weekend that's coming up, but this is the thing I want to say. Tomorrow night, 11 p.m., with the church doors will be open. We are doing our crossover service. We are gonna pray in a brand new season. We're wrapping up our time of fasting and prayer, and we are gonna jump into a brand new season in Jesus' name. So I hope to see you tomorrow night at 11 p.m. It's gonna be a great time, but it won't be the same if you're not there. So we're gonna be praying that in uh at 11 p.m. And I'm asking everybody that wants to to come on out, bring your favorite snack or food or whatever you want to do, come on in, and we're gonna wrap up our fast, and then we're gonna get back to life as normal. And when I say as normal, uh, I mean you're gonna be able to get back to eating and doing different things. But I'm gonna talk to you about that in just a moment, about uh the the dangers of coming off of a fast and uh what you need to do to be prepared to um make the best and to sustain uh the disciplines that you've worked uh in your fast. Uh so that's important. Uh I also want to mention, I also want to mention this, everybody is terrified of the snow. I mean, I need to take a look at this. I mean, you gotta understand, people run into giant eagle, make sure they get the milk, trying to get the bread. Look at this. Look at this. That's what a lot of people are right now. People running out there, running away from the snow. I mean, running. Look at that little girl right there. She got her little bread, her milk. Ladies and gentlemen, it's only gonna last about a day. And everybody's running around like, oh God, what are we gonna do? Listen, I'm from Buffalo, New York area, a place called Oleanne, New York, south of Buffalo. Ladies and gentlemen, I ain't afraid of no snow. Uh I I am debating on switching our services to Saturday, possibly, uh, because I know a lot of people won't be coming out. So I'm thinking about doing a Saturday afternoon, but I'm not sure if we're gonna do that yet. Uh, those of you that are on our text link, you'll be able to seeing that, and you'll be able to check out our Facebook. Uh, it'll be on Facebook and all our social media stuff as well. But I'm I'm confirming with everybody that that might be a better move for everybody. But I was planning to go there no matter what. Uh I'm going. I was gonna be in church on Sunday morning. Uh, it's just the way that I thought about it, saw a lot of people saying, you know what? You know, we could do a Saturday. Uh we're still gonna have our Friday night no matter what. We'll do a Saturday afternoon. We'll do a quick turnaround. Then you'll be able to sleep it on Sunday and be able to relax. And if the snow hits, whatever. But I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of no snow. I was gonna be in the house of God. And very rarely ever again. I I canceled a couple of times in uh uh December, but I was like, I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be there in Jesus' name. So I had had that planned a while ago that I was gonna be there and the doors are gonna be open, and we're gonna go in Jesus' name. And that's right, I ain't afraid of no snow. That's right. Amen. Ain't afraid of it. I I never have been. And I understand, listen, there's no condemnation. People that can't drive in it, and I understand it. Uh you got to remember, you know, a quick little story here. Share with you. I remember uh when I first moved to uh Pittsburgh in 2014, I believe there was a pretty bad snowstorm uh that um that that year. And uh I'll never forget, I was at Giant Eagle. Matter of fact, just like that little picture of that girl, I was at Giant Eagle, and everybody's running around, man. People buying beanie weenies and bottled water and ramen noodles, like the world was coming to an end. So I looked around, I said, What in the world is going on around here? And the lady looked at me and said, Didn't you hear? There's a storm coming. I said, Really? I said, what type of storm? How much are we gonna get? She said, We're getting six inches. I said, six inches? I'm used to six feet, y'all. Literally, six feet of snow. So much snow that where you have four lanes, you have two on one side, two on the other. Two of those lanes on the inside aren't used because it's all filled with snow. You can't see the other side. And they actually have a machine that goes through and puts it on a conveyor belt and throws it into a dump truck, and they got to take it somewhere because there's no place to put the snow. You can't even plow that. You have to plow it into the middle. I'm used to that. I'm used to having so much snow to where literally it would come up to the top of our uh porch. We would jump off the porch and do flips and just land in the snow. There was so much of it. That's how we did. We built snow forts, all that. I mean, we went to school when there's a foot, foot and a half of snow. It just, yeah, nowadays they cancel just in case. Just in case snow comes. I'm not afraid of snow. I've always driven in it. Uh my wife's a little bit different. She's like, You going out now? I was like, babe, you forget. I'm from Buffalo, uh, the Buffalo area. I say Buffalo because most people don't know where Ole Ann is. And uh I'm yeah, listen, I ain't scared of none of that. So, but I respect it. I know how to drive in it. And if you feel you need to stay home, you do what you need to do. Uh, but I planned on being there, but uh, just to give everybody a heads up about that. So I thought that was a cute little picture. Little girl running around. She had her bread and her milk. Gotta go. Most people never drink milk, anyways. And they got the bread and milk to make sure. Look at that. Man, she's on a run. Snowflur is coming down. Gotta get out of here. Grab the bread and milk. We got to get home for uh uh Armageddon. Snow beginnt hits. So listen, but hey, it's gonna be a great weekend either way. Uh, really looking forward to that uh Friday night. And uh we're gonna have service one of those two days. Uh, even if I decide to keep it with Sunday, I'll be there. You can live stream if you want, but the doors uh may be open there on Sunday. We're just gonna see kind of what happens here. But you know, as I move forward here, navigating this, uh, we're gonna be wrapping up our fast tomorrow. Um, and that's how we're going out with prayer. Uh, some people may be ending a little early, some people do a sunrise, a sunset, and things like that. So however you do it, it's fine. But officially, the fasting day will be over at midnight. So one of the things that we're gonna be doing is uh we're having our prayer service. We're gonna anoint everybody, we're gonna have a great time doing that. But then also um I want to share with you just a couple of minutes um about uh the importance of not losing the disciplines of what you've invested in the fast. You know, they say it takes about 21 days to make a habit. And, you know, if you take a look at everything, uh, you know, you've you've developed some strong disciplines in your life. You know, you really have. Uh you've developed um, you know, ability to put it down sugar, to put down sweets. Some of you haven't been eating much at all. Some of you might have done some liquid fast. Whatever it is that you've done, you've put some certain things in place. Some of you, you should have been fasting and praying. So hopefully you've been reading your word, you've been spending time in prayer, you've been doing those things. There's been some disciplines that you've added. Don't go back. I've been saying this for the past couple of days. Don't go back and say, hey, you know what? I'm just gonna go back to living any old way. I'm not gonna get up and pray. I'm not gonna fast anymore. I'm not gonna, I'm gonna eat any old thing. You know, if you've cut a lot of sugar and all of that stuff, leave that stuff out of your diet. Don't go right back. It doesn't mean you can't never have it, but don't go back to filling your room up with ho-hos and cream puffs and uh jelly rolls and everything else that you could possibly eat. You know, don't go back to eating all that stuff. Stay away from it. You know, if you want to have a little treat or something like that or whatever, go ahead and do that. But there's so much that you get from fasting. How healthy is it for you to be able to fast? I mean, I've even for me, uh, you know, I take a look at all the water I've drank. I mean, I drink a lot of water, anyways, uh, especially these right here, these periate bottle water spark. Oh man, I love these. This is for the sanctified, dignified pastor. Uh, you got to have that in Jesus' name. Uh, so uh don't leave uh what you've been doing, you know, stay with uh the disciplines that you've had in fasting and in prayer and you've been getting up early and all those type of things. And if you do decide uh, you know, you're gonna incorporate some things back into your diet, then put certain things in in parameter because you're already in the discipline of it. You already have what you need to have. You know, you already have shut down those areas that want all of that. You don't have to have that anymore. So leave that stuff alone and be very careful of what you bring back. And those of you that have done on some extreme fasting, depends on what you've done, be careful on what you take into your belly when you first start. Uh, you could have some issues uh down the line. But I'll tell you what, let me tell you this, y'all. I am excited about coming off the fast. I mean, in in a whole different light. And what I mean by that, I've I've never done a fast, I think, this extreme. And it has been such a blessing. I I plan on, Lord willing, I'm gonna do it every year uh the same way I've done it, and I'll probably even go even further and longer next time because um it's just been very, very good for me. And um I thank the Lord for it. And the encounters I've had with him and in his presence have been life-changing, literally. And I don't just say that uh it has really been powerful, the things that he's done, the things that he's shown me, the realignment that has taken place, um, just so many great things. And I I continue to plan on operating in the afterfruit of that as well, of what the Spirit of the Lord has shown me and what he's spoken to me and what's gonna transpire. But I don't plan on going back to everything like I did. And God made that very clear to me that um that we would not be the same coming out of this fast as we normally have, that God was gonna do something different uh in and throughout our lives. That I believe he's doing something different in our hearts. I believe that there is a new anointing coming and on us. I believe that there's a new wine skin. I believe that he's sharpening the axe head. I believe that he's putting a new mantle upon people. I believe so many different things are transpiring, and I don't want to see people lose me. Even the natural benefits of fasting. You know, you've crucified your flesh. Excuse me. You've crucified your flesh. You know, you have laid your flesh down, you have crucified it, you're not eating goodies and sweets like you were. Uh, you've cut out a lot of things out of your life, and now you've made an adjustment. And most of you probably aren't missing what you cut out. And even for me, the fast that I've done, what's amazing is that me returning back to eating is not like, oh, I get a chance to eat. It's not that. There is a there's a promise that God gave me. He said that those that sacrifice the way that I've called them to, that they would, God would bless their bread and their water uh this year in an uh in a supernatural way. And the returning back to it, I I don't think I've ever been this joyful about eating. Not, oh, I finally get a chance to have a piece of chicken or I finally get now. It's not that. It's not that. It's more of like God is saying, job well done. And now I'm going to bless this time. I'm gonna bless your food. I'm gonna bless your fellowship. I'm gonna bless the time around the food. I'm gonna bless that. And uh uh, it's just an amazing thing to see God fulfill his promise uh in your life when you do these types of things. So I'm really excited about this. And I was like, man, I'm really looking forward to coming off of this and just enjoying food again, uh God's way. Uh yeah, I I hope that makes sense. Uh, but all I can tell you is that it's working for me. And uh, so I'm really looking forward to that, looking forward to getting off of the fast, looking forward to uh maintaining the disciplines, looking forward to uh seeing the afterfruit, looking forward to building upon what God has laid uh in our lives over the last few weeks. And um, you know, I'm looking forward to doing another fast in July. We're gonna do a seven-day fast. I think it's the third week in July that we already have it on our church calendar. I even thought about doing a couple three-day fasts. So every quarter we'll do um a fast. So we'll have the beginning of the year, then we'll do um around April, then we'll do one in July, then we'll do one in October, and then we'll back in January again. So you're constantly fasting, not for 21 days, but you know, a three-day fast, a seven-day, then a three-day, then a 21-day. And uh, and having that as a routine uh in our church to keep us focused on what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. So um real, I'm I'm like I said, I'm real excited, but I don't want to see you lose what God has done in your life, even to prayer time. You know, uh, even for example, like we've been on here seven days a week doing prayer, uh, five days a week, sometimes close to seven. Uh, we've done we've done so many different things that God has done, that we've done and that God has showed us to do, that obviously we're not gonna do that uh coming off the fast starting next week. Uh, we'll have dimensions five days a week, but prayer will be only on Wednesdays. We've got a men's prayer at 5:30 a.m. Uh, we have uh a ladies' prayer that's gonna be on certain Saturdays of the month and and at the church. Uh, we've got a lot of different things that are coming up uh that we're gonna be doing. We're gonna be releasing our church calendar soon of all the things that we plan from now till February of next year. Uh a lot of great things that are coming. Uh, and you're gonna have a great time. We're gonna be starting up our small groups uh on the 4th of February, uh, coming back with that. So, like now we're all ready to go, right? You know, we've got our spirit men built up. Our flesh has been crucified, our minds are renewed, your flesh isn't dominating us. Uh, we can hear clearer than we've ever heard before. This is the time that you need to make decisions to launch out. I've got some other new things. I've got a meeting tomorrow morning with somebody about something brand new we're starting in our church. Can't wait to release that. That's coming really, really soon. When I say really soon, I mean real soon. That is coming. So many great things. We're gonna do more this year than we've ever had before. And I give God all the glory and the praise in advance due to the fact that we've been fasting and praying and seeking the face of God. We are gonna leave, ladies and gentlemen, a place of just enough and we are entering into a season of more than enough. Come on, somebody. Even if you're experiencing lack right now, it's only because there's an anointing of kingdom economic grace that is coming upon your life that God is going to release even greater into your life. I believe we're gonna have greater impact in this year of 26. I believe even our pregnancy center, we're getting ready to go from glory to glory. We we just had a great uh meeting last night uh on Facebook. If you didn't get a chance to check it out, go back and look at it. My wife and I came on and we talked about the pregnancy center. 67 babies that have been saved to date. We've got a phenomenal uh event coming up with Seth Gruber. Uh, can't wait to have him. And we're gonna do things this year we've never done before. We're gonna have more income and finances coming into the center than we've ever had before. We're getting ready to go from places we've never gone before. And I tell you what, I am so excited. And that's why we took a bigger venue. We're gonna have it at the Cranberry Marriott this year because we're believing God, four to five hundred people are gonna be there that night, and it's gonna be a powerful time. We already have a spirit of expectation that God is gonna move in a supernatural way and that people are gonna be totally transformed. It is gonna be so awesome. See, when you come out of fast like this, we're not leaving the same, y'all. Come on, we're not leaving the same. We're going into this season completely different. We're going in with a new perspective, a new outlook. Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly, far above all that we could ask or think. And He's ready to do that in your life. That's why this fast has been so pivotal. I can tell you what, I've gone on a lot of fast. With this one here, I'm telling you something. I got everything I needed to get out of this, and I want to get more, though. I got a lot out of this fast. God has shown me so many different things. I mean, I mean, I said I was going for it, and by the grace of God, I said I was gonna go for it. I went for it. I pray that you did the same exact thing. You said, you know what? I'm going in in Jesus' name. I'm expecting new things. God is doing a new thing. Now it's springing forth. Do you not perceive it? Do you not know it? God is doing some awesome things right now, and uh you need to be a part of it. This next week coming up as well. We're going right into Telethon. We've got a fundraiser at the uh at Cornerstone Television. I'm gonna be preaching live at Cornerstone Monday night. Uh, our team is gonna be doing some worship. Pastor Kellen and the team, he's got some people, he preached, he brings people from all over the city together to do something. They're gonna be doing Monday and Tuesday. My wife will be hosting Monday through Friday. It's gonna be an awesome time. We've got new speakers coming. If you want to come any night, I hope to see you on Monday night at 8 o'clock. Come and hang out with me there in the studio at Cornerstone Television and One Signal Hill Drive. Would love to have you there. But then any night throughout the week, it's just gonna be an awesome time. And I'm saying all of this to you because all this stuff is coming and God has prepared us. Now, my question to you, what does God put in your spirit during this fast? Get the most out of every fast that you do and get that, get everything you can and now begin to put feet to your faith and say, God, I'm ready to move forward in Jesus' name. Now, listen, I want to share something with you also that I shared last night that um I want to bring a little bit more to clarity on uh to you, because many times when you need a miracle in your life, right, and whenever you need God to do something in your life, God will always give you an instruction. I shared that last night, but I'm sharing this again. He will always give you a step of instruction. You never know. Listen to me, if you're believing God for a miracle, right? If you're believing God to do something, I think you never know what he's gonna do with the step. The step may not even make any sense to you. You may not even know why you're taking it. That's faith. Faith believes God before it knows the outcome, but believes in the character of God enough to take the step, knowing that he that promise will fulfill. And there are many times in my life that God Say, I want you to step out and do something. And you might have it right. Maybe you know why you're going. And then there's other times you may not know why you're taking the step. But you take the step, anyways, and you trust God and you go. And anytime that you want a miracle in God, anytime you need God to do something, anytime you need God to open a door, it will always require a step of obedience. And as you take the step of obedience, there's no telling what God will do in and through your life when you go. God may tell you to sow a seed. God may tell you to go make a phone call. God may tell you to start a budget. God may tell you to go here, to go there, to do this, do that. And if it doesn't make any sense, but you know God's telling you to do it, you step out and you follow him and you do what he tells you to do. And sometimes one of two things will happen. One, you'll take the step and then you'll be done. And then, or number two, you'll take the step and the first step will lead to other steps. Sometimes when you believe in God for a miracle, he'll show you multiple things that he wants you to do. He'll say, do this, this, this, and this, and this. The first thing you need to do is get up and go and do immediately what the Spirit of the Lord asked you to do. And I'm saying this to you because you're coming out of a fast, and there may be things that God gave you to do. There may be things he's going to tell you to do. And there may be times you may need a miracle in your life, you need a breakthrough in your life. You're saying, God, I need you to do something. God is always there to speak a word in season. He will give you what you need if you're willing to step out in faith and trust the Lord and to go. He may tell you to make a phone call. God may, you may be believing God. Like when we wanted to uh open up the pregnancy center, God spoke to us one thing. He said, I want you to be one neck, one door next to the largest abortion provider. So we started searching around. We had one phone number. We made that phone number. That phone number led to another phone number. And that phone number that we got a hold of led us to right one block away from the largest abortion provider in all of Pittsburgh. And then there was a for rent sign. So then we took that step and then we got a hold of them and we called them and it took about a week or two. Then we finally signed the lease for that. Didn't have any money,$2,500 a month. Then I mean I can just go on and on how God just led us through this whole process. We've been at season right now in our center and in our church. We need a miracle for the we've gone from here to here in ministry and we need uh financial miracles. God showed me things that He wants me to do. He said, This is what I want you to do. These are the steps I want you to take. You take each step, you make the phone call, you do this, you do that, you go here, you do those things, and you watch God give birth. See, we we you can't go to the next level and say, God, I want to go to another level and not take any steps of faith. If you do what you've always done, you'd already been there. So God will lead you to take steps that he calls you to take. And then as you go, breakthroughs will begin to happen in the name of Jesus. And I'm telling you, there's some of you right now, whether you realize it or not, God has given you the next step to the next dimension, and you've got to go forward and you've got to do it. And then this is what will happen. Once you take the step, either the breakthrough will happen or you'll have done everything you need to do. And then at that point, you may not have your miracle yet. And you're saying, God, what do I need to do? And God has spoken clearly in his word. And there's a song that Dottie McClurkin sang years ago that I'm sharing with you now. After you've done all you can, you just stand. What do you do when your heart is filled with pain and it's renting too? What do you do when you're giving your all and it seems like it's never enough? Child, you just stand. And what does it say in Galatians or Ephesians chapter 6? Having done all to stand, stand therefore. Once you've done everything, you don't have to try to make anything happen. Do what God called you to do, and then you stand still. Come on, somebody, and see the salvation of the Lord. Hold up to the shield of faith, and you stand and you deflect the fiery darts. The lies of the enemy will come, the doubts of the enemy will come. These different things are going to happen. Just quench those darts. Don't listen to the naysayer. Don't listen to the doubters. Don't listen to the people that say it can't be done. Don't listen to all the negativity. Child, stand. Stand, having your helmet of salvation all the way down to your feet sham with the preparation of the gospel of peace and stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, and He will come through and break you through. Why am I saying this to you? You can come through a fast, and all hell can seemingly break loose into your life. Just stand. Take the helmet of salvation, uh, helmet of salvation, take the shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the spirit, your loins girded about with truth, you have on the uh uh uh the breastplate of righteousness, your feet shot with the preparation of gospel of peace, and stand there and watch God break you through. Can I get an amen, somebody? I believe that when you take those steps, see, people have to learn how to get a miracle. You don't get it by begging, you don't get it by pleased with sugar with sugar on top, you get it by being obedient and taking steps of faith, an onward Christian soldier, and you keep moving one foot in front of the other and follow the direct commands of the Lord and what he tells you to do, you do it. And when you take the step and you allow him to lead you and to guide you, breakthroughs will happen in your life. You can take it to the bank, book it, because a breakthrough will happen in your life. I've seen it. Anytime I've needed God to do anything, there's always an instruction. There's always a command. There's always something he's going to require you to do. And then you take your steps and then you work it. And if he tells you to take another one, you take another one. Whatever it is that you need to do, you just keep moving forward in Jesus' name until the breakthrough happens. And after you've done everything, you feel like you're completely exhausted and say, I don't have anything else left to give, I don't know what else to do. You say, What do I do, Pastor Jay? You just stand. You just stand and say, God, I've done my part. Now it's time for you to do yours. Hallelujah. Come on. God's always gonna do his. He's just waiting on us to do ours. But when we do our part, come on, ladies and gentlemen. God will step in late in the midnight hour. God will turn it around. People may not believe, people may not have faith. They don't got to. They ain't walking your journey. All you got to do is stand, baby. I can look back over my life and see every time I come to a Red Sea, a Jordan River, needed a miracle in my life, only had five loaves and two fish, had 12 baskets left over, walk through on dry ground. Come on, somebody. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly, far above all that we could ask or think. He's a God that does the impossible. He's a God that can do anything but fail. Believe your God. Trust him, even when your back's up against the wall. Put your heart and soul and faith and everything and trust in the Lord because he will never fail. He's never lost and he never will. And he'll always bring you through. I feel the Holy Ghost in here today. Somebody needs to just stand and say, God, I thank you. That breakthrough will happen in my life. I will see my miracle. I'm gonna see the victory God called me to have. I'm gonna see my family saved. I'm gonna see my body healed. I'm gonna see the land of more than enough. Can anybody get a witness with that? 26 is gonna be the year you live in the land of more than enough. No longer is it gonna be just enough. You're gonna live in too much overflow, double for your trouble. Believe God that He's able to do it. Take the steps that He calls you to take. Maybe you believe in God for a spouse. Launch out, make it. You want to open up a ministry, launch out, go with it and see where the Lord takes you. Because you never know what one step of obedience can do in your life. You never know how one situation that God calls you to operate in calls everything to change in your life. If I had time, I'd talk to you about my story of how I got here to Pittsburgh. If I would have known that what all that God was doing, I mean, my goodness, God had me working a job that I was wondering, why am I doing this? And I was on to open up a church in Florida and didn't find out the job I worked in in Olean, New York prepared me that when I needed to move to Pittsburgh, it was the perfect job in order to move me to this city that I live in here today. If I wouldn't have followed the Lord and done that, I would never be where I'm at today. And I'm telling you, there are some of you don't realize you are on the precipice of a supernatural breakthrough. Follow the Lord. It may not make sense in the mind, it may not do it, but listen, one of the things you have to do too, you got to be willing to be open, you got to be flexible. And God said this will be the year that changes are coming. And when God brings change in your life, it always requires steps of faith. And what'll happen, it may seem a little crazy up front, you'll be saying, oh my gosh, am I really thinking this? Am I really doing this? But then as you do it, faith will come. Faith will come and you'll begin to feel the supernatural power of God gird you up and to give you strength to do what is that needs to be done. We're at a point right now we need, we, we are believing God for so much right now, it's crazy. It's crazy. But I know he's coming. I know he's here. I know it's on the way. I know there's a new anointing on my life. I believe there's a new anointing on yours as well. I believe you haven't seen anything yet of what God's about to do. I believe that 26, God gave me this promise in Psalm 126. He said that when God turned their captivity, it was as if they dreamed. He said, This will be the year that those that have sowed in tears will come now and reap in joy. I don't know about y'all, but I've had some teary days and teary nights. But we're gonna weep this year in 26, but not watch this. We're gonna weep in joy. We're gonna weep in restoration. We're gonna weep in the fact that we're holding our promise and that the breakthrough has happened, that time is now. We're gonna weep in the fact that God did and he promised and he brought us from a mile away, and now he's turning things in our favor. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the tears you're gonna have in this year. It ain't gonna be tears of sorrow. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and he addeth no sorrow with it. That's coming upon your life right now in 26. And that's the reason why you gotta launch out and say, God, I'm gonna believe you in this season. I'm gonna go for it because I believe the rain is coming. Listen, there's so much precipitation happening, even though the snow. Oh my goodness. Every time it falls, I said, that means there's another wave of glory getting ready to hit my life. There's another wave of glory getting ready to hit your life. There's another wave of glory, there's another wave of the anointing. There's more of that latter rain. I love it in Isaiah 55. It's about the rain and the snow cometh down hither, and it waters the earth and makes it bring forth and but so shall be my word that shall not return into me void, but it shall accomplish what I have set out for it to do. What does that mean with all this snow coming? Ladies and gentlemen, without a doubt, it may seem like it's an interruption, but it's a divine interruption. And God is sending it saying, that is a sign, I believe this, of the natural in the natural, of the supernatural outpour of the latter rain that is falling down, the harvest that's about to spring forth. God is positioning his people, he's positioning his church. There's a move of God that's on the way. There's levels of favor and grace and goodness that is coming upon your life. The goodness of God is chasing after your life. Those that have lived in sin and in darkness, they're about to be exposed, they're about to go through things. But those that have served God and praised God and been faithful to God while they were going through everything, listen to me, listen to me. Listen, I want you to hear this right now. When Joseph was living in Potiphar's house, when Joseph was living in the pit, when Joseph was living in the prison, everybody was doing well. But then all of a sudden, God elevated Joseph and brought him to the palace. And then all of a sudden there were seven years of plenty and seven years of lack. Joseph kept on thriving and his family kept on thriving when everybody else went down. Listen, it's about to change. People that ain't been serving God and doing right, they about you're about to go up, other people about to go down. But this is the reason. They ain't going down just because God's trying to get rid of them. He's taking you up to elevate you, so then you can tell them how to come up. That there's a God that loves them, there's a savior that redeems, there's a cross that still bleeds, there's a God that loves them and wants to convert them and to change them. And you're gonna be the one to minister to people's lives like never before. So get ready. You're about to accelerate, you're about to increase in every area of your life. Others were going down, and then God's gonna send you back to the very people that threw you into the pit, Joseph, that threw you into the prison, that threw you in to all those things. Did you wrong in Potiphar's house? And God's gonna ask you to go back and help them. Even though they don't deserve it. Why? Because the favor you have, you don't deserve either. God just chose you and you haven't been perfect. Everything about you ain't perfect. You've got some things in your closet that you know you don't want anybody to see. And God's gonna use you, though, and say, just as I've been good to you, go be good to others as well. I'm telling you, it's here. I'm telling you right now, there's a new anointing. There's the blessing of Almighty God that is coming upon his chosen vessels, and I believe you're one of them. You are one of the chosen vessels that God's gonna use in this time, season, and moment. So I am so excited. I tell you what, I have so excited. Coming out of this fast, I feel like a brand new man. I feel refreshed. My goodness. I mean, no calories in my body, literally. There ain't no calories in there. Uh, but I feel good. I'm full of the presence and the anointing of God. I can't wait to see what God's gonna do. I can't wait for this next season. God spoke me 12, 13 days ago and said, Jay, I'm asking for these next 12 and 13 days. Uh, or however long it was, uh, maybe longer than that. But he said, he said, I'm asking to give me these days for the next season of your life. Oh, God, I thank you. The next season is already blessed. I'm prepped and primed and pumped, and I know you are too, for the new season that God has for us. That's why we're doing the crossover service tomorrow at 11 o'clock, waving bye-bye to everything of the past, saying hello to a brand new tomorrow in Jesus' name. So I hope this has encouraged you today. I can't wait. Tomorrow, 12 o'clock, we'll be praying as well. We're gonna be back at it in Jesus' name. As a matter of fact, let me look at something real quick. I might have a conflict there now that I'm thinking about it. There's something I have to do. Uh so I have to make sure that I may have to change that. I forgot. I have something I have to do. So, you know what? We may not have that prayer tomorrow. I'm gonna send out a text. Um, or unless I get someone to fill in for me, maybe I'll do that too. Um, because I have another meeting I have to go to. So I just thought about that. I know I'm talking out loud, but uh that's all. Uh, we're gonna try to get somebody else in there to fill in at 12 o'clock. That'll be our last prayer. Then we'll have 8 o'clock dimensions here, and then I might even do it right from the church uh tomorrow uh because I'll be there, and then we're gonna bring in the new season. This is our watch night service. Come on, somebody. This is our watch night service, and then I'll let you know about what's gonna happen concerning Saturday, and uh it's gonna be a great time. I hope that y'all have been blessed by today. I know I have been, and I'm looking forward to uh wrapping this up tomorrow. This is day 22 or day uh 20, uh today is uh 22nd, uh, but tomorrow's the 23rd. This is day 20 of our fast. 21 is tomorrow, and then we're stepping into a brand new season in Jesus' name. It's gonna be awesome. Don't miss one moment of it. This whole weekend's gonna be great. And I'm still rebuking that snow in the name of Jesus. I want it to lead. I don't want all that snow here stopping people from moving to the house of God. I'm gonna be there. I'll put my car in four-wheel drive, whatever I got to do, I'm gonna be there in Jesus' name. So uh I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be in my post because I'm expecting and I'm ready for what God is gonna do in 2026. And I can't wait because I've already peeked into your future, and you look much better than you do today. It's gonna be a great year. The time is now, and I can't wait to see all that God's gonna do. God bless you, and I'll see you tomorrow.
