[0:00] Thank you for tuning into this message by David Entry. Every true revival is a product of the strong preaching of God's word. May you receive a word from this message that will spark a revival in you. [0:12] Some of us are praying in a season like this. And God was just prompting my heart that some of us have issues that we need to release. [0:25] Because this season is supposed to greatly benefit you. But there are things that are hindrances there. Some of us are dealing with pain, disappointment, hurts. [0:36] That has now become a situation inside you. Some of us have actually just packed it on the side, decided not to even touch it. But it's a stumbling block. Some of you need to just put your hand on your chest and say, Lord, I forgive this person. I release this person. I release this situation. [0:55] Some of us have to go back home and continue to declare it until the emotions that is attached to those situations is also released. You have to deal with it because it's going to be the difference between those of us who make it and benefit of this season and those who don't. [1:13] And so you're going to pray any pain, anything that is a hindrance for you in your heart. Some of us, you haven't said to anybody. But it's become a situation for you. [1:24] It's become a stumbling block for you. It's become a stronghold for you. God said, we need to deal with it tonight. We are on day nine. We need to deal with it. [1:35] You can't enter day 10, 12, 13, 15 to day 21 and not having dealt with it because by the time this fast will finish by God's grace. We will move on to other seasons. We are plowing the grounds. [1:49] We will move to the way. Some of us are sowing seeds. And this season will be the reason for a harvest for 2026. You must not miss your harvest. [2:02] You will not miss your harvest. In the mighty name of Jesus. So there are some weeds that you need to deal with. Because they are going to choke the good seeds you are sowing in your prayer, in your fastings. [2:16] And by the time harvest comes, you look in your hands and say, where is my harvest? You would have missed out on the season. Because of pain. Because of bitterness. [2:29] Because of unforgiveness. I wrote it down. Deal with it. You can't pack it on the side. Because this season cannot take it. The season requires that you are free. [2:40] And truly free indeed to receive all that God has for you. So just anything. Just even if you forgot the Holy Spirit, remind me. Anything in the past. Whether now, long time ago, whatever it is. [2:52] Say, Holy Spirit, help me. I release this matter. I release this person. He will bring to remembrance. If there's anything that you've forgotten. Say, Lord. And just in case. You see me? I'm so free. [3:03] Pray ahead. Because the Bible says offenses will come. 2026. The enemy might be lurking in March. Somewhere in March. Somewhere in October. [3:15] Just before your harvest comes. You may cause your heart to be offended. We have seen people so close. Yet so far. So close to their day of victory. [3:27] But missed it because of offense. And so you might say, I don't have anything like that in my life. Pray ahead. 2026. I will not be caught in any trap. I will not be caught in any snare of offense. [3:38] Look. It looked like the enemy was eating away people's destinies. Some of us have become so slow. We're just used to church. And doing church as usual. And in the midst of that, our destinies were being washed away. [3:50] In the midst of that, prophecies that had gone ahead of us. We're being just laid dormant. But in this season. I see a great awakening. I see a great awakening. [4:01] The people of God are coming back. In the name of Jesus. We need atmospheres like these. We need them. [4:12] Because it can so easily become church as usual. So easily. But God calls us to seasons like this. God prepares seasons like this. [4:22] Just so that your destiny will not go waste. Just so that you will not fall asleep. Just so that you will not sleep the sleep of death. Just so that you will be delivered one more time. [4:33] You will rise again one more time. And I see it happening. February will show it. March will show it. April will show that you really prayed. [4:43] You really fasted. By June fasting. It will be obvious to all those around you. That you waited on God. You cried on God. And the Lord answered you. In the name of Jesus. [4:55] The Bible says. In Ephesians chapter 5 verse 14. It said. Awake or sleep arise. From the dead. Strangely enough. [5:06] He didn't say Jesus will raise you up. He said. You arise from the dead. Meaning that when the fasting becomes tough. You should tell yourself. I cannot be dead. I have to arise. [5:16] Jesus is not going to bring me out. He said. You arise from the dead. He said. You awake from your sleep. Arise from the dead. And after that he said. Christ will give you light. [5:27] He's not giving light to people who are sleeping. He's not giving light to those who are dead. He said. You awake. You wake up from your dead. You rise up. And I will give you light. [5:40] Arise and shine. For the light has come. And the glory of the Lord. Is risen upon you. His glory will come only if you arise. We receive grace to arise. [5:50] In the name of Jesus. The grace for arising is coming upon you. In the name of Jesus. Grace to arise is coming upon you. In the name of Jesus. You will no longer be caught in sin anymore. [6:03] In the name of Jesus. You will no longer be lazy. You will no longer be up. In the name of Jesus. Jesus. 2026 will be a different year. The grace you are catching in January. [6:16] Will continue to speak in December. In the name of Jesus. You will not be found once and in the middle of the year. You will not backslide. You will be fervent in spirit. [6:26] Serving the Lord. In the name of Jesus. God is helping us. God is helping us. God is helping you. In the name of Jesus. [6:37] We receive help from God. Thank you Lord. In Matthew chapter 25. It tells of a story. Of 10 virgins. They were all invited to the wedding. [6:49] All 10 were invited. When you enter a place. You have your coupon. Meaning you have your right. To collect whatever you want to collect from the service. [7:00] So all of them were invited. All of us. Are partakers of the blessing of the season. Every one of us. Everybody who. And even if it's their last day. You join us. [7:11] You are still a partaker. Of the blessing of the season. So all 10 were invited. And when they were invited. It looked like. The groom had tarried. [7:22] It kept a bit long. It just. It looked like the groom was wasting time. It took too long. We don't know whether his shoes. Had issues or. The. Rooms man bringing it. [7:33] They didn't bring. We don't know. But for whatever reason. The scripture says that. They had tarried. And they fell asleep. But you know what. When they fell asleep. [7:44] They didn't look at their qualification. Five were wise. Five were foolish. It's a dangerous thing to be foolish and fall asleep. You cannot be foolish. And fall asleep on top of it. [7:56] There's a difference between the foolish and the wise. They all fell asleep. But their stories didn't end the same. It didn't end the same. People slept. [8:07] But woke up. When they woke up. Some people had oil. And they didn't have oil. Their foolishness was showing. They didn't have oil. [8:18] Some of you. This season is your oil season. It is your oil season. It is time to fill up. It's time to go into your storage. [8:28] And fill your storage. In the name of Jesus. God. The things you struggled with in the past. You will no longer struggle anymore. [8:39] And what used to be easy. But it's too difficult for you now. You are gaining mastery. In the name of Jesus. May God grant you oil for it. [8:50] In the name of Jesus. May God give you an awakening. A great awakening. In the name of Jesus. We will not finish this fast and remain the same. [9:01] When the master comes. We will be ready. When the trumpet sounds. We will be ready. When the victory sounds. We will be ready. [9:12] When the word comes. We will be ready to receive it. We will manifest the word in the name of Jesus. They were all not the same. Go deep within. [9:23] And go into a holy conviction. A holy anger. That I will not remain the same. This fasting must be a different fast for me. This season must be a different season for me. [9:37] That is the sign of wisdom. God forbid. Even if you doze off during March. When the sun comes. There is something already in there. There is something already that can stir it up again. [9:48] That can activate it up again. Just in case you are being a bit slow. A word will come and it will activate you. Because you have a storage. You have a storage. That you make sure you prepare for in this season. [9:59] I just see myself launching behind the wings of God. And taking a flight into destiny. I see somebody's helping for you as well. It will happen for you. [10:10] You are taking the flight on God's back. Into destiny. In the name of Jesus. Amen. You need seasons like this. To push into his presence. [10:23] To push and say. I know. In whom I have believed. And I am fully persuaded. Fully persuaded. You must have that conviction. Have it. [10:35] It takes seasons like this. To build convictions like that. So when I come into an atmosphere like this. To be honest. I don't take it for granted at all. And my desire is. [10:47] Lord. Let me guard this like this. As I am going home. Let me guard it like this. So that when I kneel down. Oh God. May I have the same presence. What I am having here. [10:59] May I take it home. May I have the same presence. May I have the same presence. You God. May you show up. When I kneel down to pray. When I rise up to walk about my home. [11:09] To pray. May I carry the same. May I carry the same. You will carry the same presence. You will carry it to your home. You will carry it to your home. You will carry it to your workplace. [11:20] You will carry it to your universities. In the name of Jesus. We need times like this. We need it. They don't know they are God. [11:32] They shall be strong. They will do exploits. They will do exploits. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. [11:49] We pray you have been revived towards God. You can connect with David Entry. On all relevant social media platforms.
