[0:00] Hallelujah. We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God.

[0:11] May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this word. In Christ we don't wait for things to change. We speak to effect the changes.

[0:30] You speak from a position of victory. It doesn't matter what seems to surround you.

[0:42] In Christ we open our mouth and speak. Amen. Even when it comes to salvation, even when it comes to salvation, it says that with their heart man believes.

[1:04] And with their mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. He said unto salvation. Romans chapter 10 verse 10. So you can't be saved with a closed mouth.

[1:18] In the same way situations can change for the believer with a closed mouth. You must speak forth. I see victories coming all around.

[1:32] Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. During the COVID, one of the revelations I had was, oh, this COVID thing is just to stifle the church.

[1:52] That's why many governments were so aggressive about stopping people from gathering. Because there's something about gathering that gives the church its strength.

[2:04] Right from the day one, they were gathering. In the book of Acts, it's a gathering. Even before Jesus left, he was gathering with them. Acts 1, for when they had assembled together.

[2:16] After resurrection, he was gathering with them. They were eating. So the devil targeted our gathering. That's why a lot of people backslided. Because the gathering was attacked. And secondly, our speaking forth.

[2:27] If nothing can silence your victory. Well, we want to pray one important prayer.

[2:45] Esther had access. Access. Access. Say access. Access. Access. Say to somebody, I've got access.

[2:56] I've got access. I've got access. How do you know you've got access? In Hebrews, Hebrews 4, 16, it said, let us come boldly. So it's access now.

[3:07] Yeah. It said, by whom we have access. Through his blood, by the Holy Spirit. So, Hebrews 10, 20 as well. We have access to the Father.

[3:18] Now we have access. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 18, 19. We have access. There's an access actually. You know, so, for three, we both have access by one to the, we have access.

[3:33] It's a very important thing to understand. That's what theologically is called the priesthood of all believers. Every believer has access to the Father.

[3:44] It's not sacerdotalism. Sacerdotalism is when only a special trained, esoteric, with some esoteric knowledge or special people who have only access to God.

[3:56] So, like the priests, you always have to go to God through the priest, through the special man of God. You know, in Christ, there's no special man of God through whom you gain access to God.

[4:09] We all have direct, we have God's direct line. You have God's direct line. Praise the Lord. So we have access to God.

[4:21] Esther, the king, you can't just appear to the king. You can't just appear before the king. But Esther, in Esther chapter 4, verse 16, he said, go and gather all the people.

[4:33] And let them fast for me. And me and my team will also fast. And then he said, then I will go before the king. Which is actually against the law.

[4:45] But Esther said, I'll do that after fasting. Esther said, fast for me. And after the fasting, I'll go to the king. Fast. Me too, I'll fast. Those people who are always depending on others to fast for them.

[4:58] He said, fast for me. And I and my maidens will also, who will fast also. And afterwards, I'll go to the king. And he said, which is against the law, I'm going to go.

[5:09] But if I perish, I perish. After the fasting, take a step. Apply for that master's program again. Apply.

[5:20] Apply. Apply. After the fasting, start the mortgage process. Start it. After the fasting, try the scholarship program. After the fasting, try something.

[5:33] It's important to understand that access makes a bit different. They fasted and afterwards, Esther decided, Esther chapter 5, verse 2 and 3, she went towards the king.

[5:47] Esther was the king. And the king, the soldiers, you are not allowed. The king lifted his scepter. Esther came in. And you know what the king said to Esther? Esther, what is your request?

[5:58] To the half of my kingdom. Esther said, I don't have any complicated requests. Esther said, no problem, I'll come. He said, no, not you alone. Come with Haman. He said, oh, Haman, Haman will come. And then they went. You can't just invite me to the king.

[6:09] What is your request? What is your request? To the half of my kingdom. What is your request? What is your request? To the half of my kingdom. Then Esther said, I don't have any complicated requests. My people, I want you to come for dinner in my house.

[6:20] The king said, yes, no problem, I'll come. He said, no, not you alone. Come with Haman. He said, oh, Haman will come. And then they went. As they were eating, verse 5, the king said, no, no. You can't just invite me to just come and eat and does it. Esther, what is your request? I don't, you don't know I'm talking to you already.

[6:31] Once you get access, the next thing is, what is your request? Esther's prayer request was so prudent.

[6:55] She didn't just say this is what I need. She said, if I have found. found. Today we'll be praying for favor.

[7:10] But before you do that, we are going to pray. The king said, Esther, what is it? Esther said, come again. Esther said, come again.

[7:22] Then chapter 7, verse 2. Verse 2. Yes. And then what is your petition? Queen Esther. Did you see the king keeping asking?

[7:32] Because Esther, you keep coming. You have escalated your fasting to the one that is not normal. You keep coming. Every day you are here. And people don't know what you go through to stand here.

[7:48] We all don't go through the same challenges to be here. Some even to be standing here is a big breakthrough. It's a big ask. Some have traveled from all kinds of places and you have come.

[8:02] You keep coming to God because you know God is real and God is here. You are making use of the access. So, she came and the king kept asking, what?

[8:16] Because the way you keep coming, there's something on your heart. One of the things that prayer does for us is prayer is one, prayerlessness is, it's a major reflection and depiction of pride.

[8:35] When you don't pray, that means you can, you don't need God to do something. You will be fine with, you will be fine without God. Prayer is an expression of humility. So, that's why God loves it when we pray.

[8:48] He loves it when we, when we come into his presence. He loves it for us to be in his presence. Prayer. Praying and asking him. Praise the Lord.

[8:59] And some of us, I know, do I have one or two people here who you know some people who don't understand? Why are you always going like that? They don't understand.

[9:11] Why? And they ask you, what time the service starts? You say seven. And you are, meanwhile you live, let's say, 30 minutes away and the service starts at seven. So, I believe even if you live 25, six, six to 25 will be.

[9:26] And you are living at four. They don't get, they don't get it. They don't, am I talking to somebody at all? They don't get it. They don't get it.

[9:38] Your results will explain it. For God is not unrighteous to forget your labor of life. Your results will explain it.

[9:49] Your results will explain it. Your results will explain it. Your results will explain it. In the name of Jesus. Well, we are about to pray.

[10:01] What's that prayer topic? The first prayer we are supposed to pray is from 1 Corinthians chapter 14, verse 26.

[10:11] It says, when you come together, when you assemble, each one has, this is very, whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation.

[10:27] Now, what is my point from here? Do you know, all of us, our prayers are not the same. Some are praying for a child. Some are praying for money. Some are praying for a job.

[10:39] Some are praying to overcome temptation. Some are praying for their education. Some are praying for their sick mother, sick brother, a situation at home. And, everyone, but let all things be done in order.

[10:51] So, the prayer we are going to pray is, some too, all you want is Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me. Somebody, they are evicting him from his house.

[11:05] So, he needs the Holy Spirit, but this one, now you understand where I'm coming from here. I need the Holy Spirit, but, Holy Spirit is my house.

[11:21] Holy Spirit is my house. So, we want to, we are going to, in a moment, you are going to pray, why do you keep coming? Esther, what do you want?

[11:35] Esther, what are you looking for? Speak to my ears. Today's reading, he said, verse 2, he said, God is king over all the earth. Can you imagine?

[11:48] He said, the Lord Most High is awesome. He is great king over all the earth. Look at the verse 8. He says that he is king over the earth. He says that he reigns over all the nations.

[11:59] He sits on his holy throne. But God, but God, he sits on his holy throne. King Hazaras was sick.

[12:12] He said, Esther, talk to me. He was, he was in power, when he asked for, our God is king over all the earth. And he said, talk to me.

[12:22] What do you want? Some people, pastors, some people are fasting extra. I am so convinced, this fasting time, it carries, will change many things.

[12:33] not only many things, but many major things.

[12:48] I have not even, I don't remember the last time, since I've been pastoring caries in the revival times, so I've been caries, pushed myself in fasting like this.

[12:59] And many people, many people are doing, three days, four days, two days, without breaking. That's not a normal type of fasting.

[13:11] That's not a normal type of, the way people are putting demand on heaven. That's why I feel sorry for those who think life normal, things as usual, they are staying here, when they can, they can, when they can, come.

[13:24] No problem. Let's continue going to the year, we will see. Some people, I know, anointing has come on them, but now, because God is raising some movers, and some shakers, some movers, and some shakers, some movers, and some shakers, some movers.

[13:51] You're going to pray for your family, you are going to pray for your health, you are going to pray for any burden on your life, your ministry, fresh oil, Holy Ghost baptism, we have a short time, so cry out unto the Lord.

[14:03] Cry out unto the Lord. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. I see somebody has procured a testimony.

[14:17] I see somebody has secured the victory. I see somebody has received your breakthrough. I see the change has come for somebody.

[14:28] You are going to step into it physically. And all I shall see that God has blessed you. In the name of Jesus.

[14:39] I want to pray. I want to pray. Last prayer. It's general prayer. You know, he asked Esther, what do you want to the half of my kingdom?

[14:52] Esther said, if I have found favor, not because I'm pushing, not because of my extreme, not because of my fasting, but if I have found favor in your sight, just let this be done for me.

[15:07] There are things that are done only for people with favor. A lot of promotion at workplaces has favor. Sometimes you are so qualified, you go for interview, you are very qualified.

[15:24] And because she didn't have favor, they said, no, no, no. They made that. If they saw you come in, they made up their mind, no, not this one. It doesn't matter how good it is. I don't like this one. Listen, there's always somebody somewhere who can show you favor and you change everything about your life.

[15:41] You know, you know when you have favor, some people can say, the law says this, but you know what, it doesn't matter. They do it all the time.

[15:54] Your mortgage application goes before somebody says that, but I didn't have the, didn't have the, didn't have the, I can't, okay, I'll do it. A lot of scholarship has to do with favor.

[16:09] Not just competence. Some people are so competent, but they don't have favor. They don't have favor. Favor is coming your way.

[16:21] I prophesy favor your way. I prophesy favor your way. I prophesy favor your way. Shout and believe in a man.

[16:38] In Genesis chapter 39, he was arrested, he was caught, and he was in potty face house. Verse 2, the Bible says that God was with him.

[16:51] Verse 3, and God, they said, and his master saw that the Lord was with him, and the Lord made him, made all the things that he did in order to prosper. And God gave him favor.

[17:04] Look at verse 21. He was in prison. A prisoner with favor. So he had access to all the top inmates, political inmates, those who were presidential candidates, everybody had access to them.

[17:21] Because he was, he had, he had, favor in prison. Say favor in prison. Favor in prison. God gave him favor in the side of the keeper of the prison. There's no condition and situation you find yourself, you can't image a champion out of.

[17:38] When there's favor all your life. Are you getting it? Some of you said, I want to be in football, I want to be in fashion. People don't mind you. Not that you are no good.

[17:49] Favor must speak for you. Favor must speak for you. One, one of the things that sometimes some of you might take for granted is this man standing here, I have all shades of favors.

[18:08] You are going to pray favors, say unusual favors. Unusual favors. But favors that cannot be explained. What is this? What is this? What is this? this year it will follow you.

[18:21] This year it will follow you. This year it will follow you. This year it shall follow you. This year it shall follow you. Favor shall follow you.

[18:32] Favor shall follow you. In the name of Jesus. Esther said, if I have found favor with you, then do this for me.

[18:45] He didn't say because she said to the half of my kingdom. That was not the thing. The king can do to the half of his kingdom. But favor will determine how far he can do it. We're going to pray for unusual favors.

[19:00] For marital testimonies. Sometimes the one you're about to marry. You must have favor with him.

[19:12] Or with her. Oh yeah. Yeah. Favor. Shout favor. Shout favor.

[19:23] As you are shouting it, you are grabbing it. As you are shouting it, you are catching it. As you are shouting it, it's happening. As you are shouting it, it's happening. As you are shouting it, it's happening.

[19:34] As you are shouting it, it's happening. Shout favor. Favour!

[19:47] Favour! Jesus! The songwriter said, I'm walking in power, I'm walking in miracle, I live a life of favour.

[20:07] I'm walking in... I live a life of favour, You live a life of favour, 2026, You shall live a life of favour.

[20:20] I live a life of favour, I know who I am. Walking in power, Walking in miracles, I live a life of favour, Cause I know who I am.

[22:17] Some of you, You have an uncle, Who is so big, But he doesn't care. Just remember you. One day, Bible says, You know what we just read?

[22:28] One day the king, Chapter 6, The king could not sleep. He couldn't sleep. Verse 1, He said, The king couldn't sleep, Because it was time, For Mordecai to be promoted.

[22:43] It was time for Mordecai to be promoted. After the fasting, After the fasting, The king could not sleep. He said, What shall be done, For the one the king desires to honour, Bring me the books.
