The Great Fix Fast - Pastor Will Roos

OK, so this is the year of the great fix.

Very simple, great fix. God spoke to us through Word.

Isaiah 58 is the year of the great fix.

OK, rebuild, repair, restore, right?

So that's Isaiah 58 and I am super excited for this year.

2026 is the year of the great fix.

OK, we've looked at that last week in detail.

So powerful. But today we are going to go

deeper. Are you ready to go deeper?

Because we're going to go in detail through Isaiah 58, OK?

Last week we just touched on it. God gave us the theme.

Now we've got the foundation and we're going to build on that and

we're going to go through scripture upon scripture.

And I love it when things on context because we'll be shocked

when we see how what's actually in Isaiah 58.

It's loaded with promises. Wow.

Please this week spend time in Isaiah 58.

That is from heaven. That is the word of God for us

for such a time as this. If you want to know what God

saying that is it OK, So Are you ready for the for the great fix

somebody? Yeah, I'm like Lord, do it.

Fix it. Come on, somebody say fix it,

Lord. OK, side like a minute.

Come on, somebody fixed it, Lord.

Yeah, yeah. Hallelujah.

OK, So whatever Mason problem or trouble that you are facing

today, whatever situation or challenge that you are, yeah, or

going through, OK, get ready because God is about to fix it.

Yeah, I'm yeah. With the words from heaven, God

sent me here, tell my people, whatever trouble, whatever

difficulty, whatever challenge it is, I am fixing it.

So what of the Lord? I am the main messenger, OK?

I'm delivering the mail, OK? So just receive that message

from the Lord that God is saying, listen, I'm about to fix

it because that is who our God is, OK?

So if you've been here last week, you will know that God is

a repairer. That is what God does.

He's a repairer. He read balls, he's a restorer,

he's a finisher. That is our God.

God repairs. So whatever problem you've come,

God knew that you're going to be here and God is already

numbered. You got us or you're not living

the same way today. You're not living the same way.

You can. You're walking out of this place

different. You cannot sit under the word of

God and stay the same because the word of God comes and brings

fixing. The word of God brings repair.

He repairs. He fixes our lives.

Come on, somebody shot Hallelujah.

He's got some place in this place.

If you are receiving this word from heaven, Hallelujah.

Yeah, he's fixing it. Come on, tell your neighbor.

Tell somebody he's fixing it. He's fixing it.

Yeah. It's like, OK, we can relax,

breathe, right? He's got it.

God's in control. God is Lord's and in charges.

Goddess. OK, it's time.

We're not going to be uptight this year.

We're going to be relaxed. OK, Relax at peace, OK?

Because God's taking care of things.

And so right there in Desire 58, God shows us one of the ways he

brings fix in our lives, how he fixes things in our lives.

And I was like, Lord, I was really Desire 58 and just boom.

So off the page. It's right there in the very

beginning of the chapter. God says it is through fasting,

Hallelujah. And so today we are stepping

into our 21 day of prayer and fasting Hallelujah.

Praise God, Are you ready for this 21 days?

OK, and listen, this is a corporate fast.

The church as part of the body of Christ, we are fasting around

the country, OK? It's happening.

Head office, our campuses, the churches globally.

It's amazing how many people are prayer and fasting the first

month of the year, setting the rest of the year, consecrating

mate, setting God first, seeking God in this time.

It's amazing how it's happening around the world.

And this is not just something we've just, we've been doing

this for many, many for a long time.

We've been every first month of the year, we consecrate that

time and we seek the face of God with powerful results.

If you put God first the first month, the rest of the month,

February, March, and then it's blessed.

I said largely, firstly, God's Kingdom and then all the other

things will be added. Yeah.

So when you put God's first, OK, your week goes better, your mind

goes better, your family goes better, your career goes better.

When you start, like today, we starting today, it goes better

because the Bible says that when you put God first, all these

other things shall be added to you.

And so I'm very excited about this faster today.

So the theme, it's just so amazing how it fits in with the

theme of the great fix. OK, so the great fix.

So today I'm talking about fasting and the title of the

message is the great fast fix. So the fix.

So it's a great year of a great fix 2026, the year of a great

fix. And so this is the great fix

fast. So we're going to talk about the

fast and this fast is powerful. It's straight from Scripture and

is so in line with this year's theme of rebuild, restore, OK,

repair. And so as we step into this, we

are going to keep on reminding ourselves that, and this is so

powerful, that God is not finished.

He is fixing it. OK, He's not finished with you.

He's not finished. He's still fixing it.

God is fixing it. OK, Say that with me.

God's not finished, he's fixing it.

They said again, God's not finished, he's fixing it.

I'm super excited because this is one of the end times signed

Acts chapter 3, verse 20. Before Jesus comes back, there

Acts 3:20

must first be a fixing. He said in the Bible we looked

at the law. So I don't have time to re cut

that, but please go listen to the message.

Go and get that sermon because there must first be a

restoration, a great fix before the great tribulation.

There must first be a fix and a restoration of the church.

Jesus not coming back for a week, struggling church.

He's coming back for a victorious church.

So right now what we look out for is the signs of the restored

church. And it's happening through US,

OK, for each one of us, Hallelujah.

I says they're so strong. Get ready somebody for this

great fix fast. This is going to be of grateful

because this fast, OK, it's about to break change lift

patterns and that's what I want you to get out of this fast

because he's about to repair. He's about to restore, rebuild.

I say it's the move of God in this place.

Yeah, God's already moving. Yeah, he's not leaving you the

same way He's not leaving you. Not staying the same way.

He's not leaving you like you. OK?

God's fixing God. It's like God's.

I just like a picture of God's rolling up his sleeves.

OK, Getting ready. He's ready for the great fix.

Yeah, and he's saying get ready. I'm about to repair what has

been weighing you down. I was about to restore what the

devil stole. I'm about to report your light.

Stronger than the. Oh, until the boom.

I feel the moving of the Holy Ghost in this place.

Whoa, Hallelujah. Whoa, come on, somebody shout

Hallelujah. Yeah, yeah.

I feel it's so strong because God is not finished yet.

He's fixing. He's fixing.

It's Hallelujah. Now let me make fasting simple

because some people when they hear the word fast, they're

like, oh great, I'm going to be grumpy, OK?

Now, fasting is not about being miserable, OK?

Fasting is about being focused. Fasting is simply, according to

the Bible, giving up food. OK, that's fasting.

Giving up food and the Bible through the Bible, that's

fasting. The definition of fasting is

giving up. OK, So you're putting food

aside, OK, Without food to see God, that's the definition of

fasting. OK, Now people like, OK, Lord,

how? Because the Bible says very

clearly that we shall not live by, OK?

We shall not just live by McDonald's alone, OK, but by the

word of God. So we, there is more to than

just food, OK? And so it's not punishment, it's

not performance. It's not like earning Browning

points, earning God's love. And so, OK, fasting is

positioning. So it's position, it's putting

our heart in a place where we can hear God more clearly

because how many of you know, life is busy, there's a lot of

noisy distractions. So we're putting our hearts in a

place to year to align with God to year to receive what God was

all wants to already give us. Okay, And so if you are near to

fasting, okay, because I know when years ago, 20 years when I

got born again, it's bird fall. I'm like, Oh my God, what's this

fasting? People are fasting 40 days.

I'm like, wow, I really felt into if you need to fasting,

relax, breathe, okay. God's not asking you to impress

him. God's inviting you to come

closer. So if you're new to fasting,

start where you are. Everyone is unique.

Everyone runs their own race, OK?

There's no competing or comparing in the Kingdom.

Oh, that person's done a 40 that fast to anyone that you start

where you are. OK, If you cannot do a 21 and

you're like, OK, maybe one meal a day, something like that.

Start where you are and just flow as the Lord leads you

personally. Because the main thing really is

fasting is this increasing hunger for God because a lot of

people out there, they filling ourself with so many different

things. And so there's only little bits

left for God, OK, filling ourselves with the design and

all sorts of things. But now when we put food aside,

we have more space. We, we make room for God.

So it increases our hunger for God.

So we have a hunger God because a hungry heart God honors a

hungry heart. And so when life gets busy, gets

loud, OK, we get distracted, we get busy, OK, we get pulled in

10 different directions. There's entertainment

everywhere, OK? And So what we do is fasting if

one of the ways, turning the volume down, turn the volume

down on entertainment, mute the entertainment, mute the Netflix

on the entertainment, turn it down, turn down everything, shut

it down muted so that I can turn the volume up for you God.

So we want to hear God more clearly.

So we, we shut those things down during fasting.

And Jesus said something very important when his disciples

came to him and they said, so why couldn't we get the

breakthrough? Jesus said something very, very

profound. This company come out through

fasting and prayer, very profound.

Why couldn't we get that breakthrough?

Jesus gave them the he gave them the answer I want to I want to

show you Mark 9/29. He says he said to them, Jesus

said to his disciples, OK, let's just go back to the our title,

the great fix fast. Somebody say the great fix fast,

right? This is very exciting.

This fast is very, very exciting.

It's not weighing down, it's lifting us up.

Why I'm super excited about this measure that God gave us.

It says here, So Jesus said to his disciples, he said to them,

this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and forces.

So that teaches us there are some things that do not shift,

do not move, do not change just casually, just because there are

some things that only change, that only move and shift and

change when we get serious about seeking God, when we get

serious, when we hang out, thirst for God, some burdens

only left when we stop trying to manage ourselves and we give it

to him. There are some struggles,

cycles, burdens, some change, only break when we fast and pray

words of Jesus. So there's some certain things

in our lives, sometimes generational curses that's been

landed down by families, patterns in our lives that never

shifts, never breaks at all. We fast, we pray, we seek God

with a hunger, with a focused hunger.

OK, somebody. And so Isaiah 58, this great fix

fast. This is a 5 step that breaks

James this fast, but we are stepping in.

It lifts burdens. Now let's go there because

Isaiah 58 is full of the promises.

So he says right, this great fast, OK, when we do this, this

is what I promise you any listing, there's a list.

It's powerful. Then your light will

breakthrough, then the healing will come.

Then you'll call and I will answer.

Now let's go to as I 58 and we start there because that's God's

road map for us straight from Scripture, verse 6.

Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen?

Take note of that. To loose the change of

injustice, untie the courts of the yoke, to set the oppressed

free and break every yoke. That's the kind of fast that God

chose. He says this is the fast that I

chose. Isaiah 58 fast, the great thick

fast that breaks change, that removes the enlist burdens.

Let's pray together. Father, as we come to your word,

Lord speak to us, give us focus, give us hunger, let every chain

break, let every burden left, let every heart come alive.

Do your great fix work in and through us.

In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.

Somebody say Amen. OK, now let me give you a simple

picture to carry through this farce because Jesus looking at

us and he's looking at his, you know, that smile, that gentle

smile, and he's saying bring, bring the shoulder.

OK, bring it, bring the shoulder, bring the cheek and

bring the stomach. Because those are the three

places where a lot of real life battles show up in those three

places. Shoulder, that is a picture of

burdens, anxiety, pressure, heaviness that we cannot

explain. The cheek talks about offence.

The Bible talks about, you know, when somebody hitch on the

cheek, turn the other cheek, right cheek is offence that is

hurts, bitterness that speaks of unforgiveness.

Then the stomach speaks of appetites, control.

That's addictions. That is the the comfort zones,

OK, the place that we run to when love gets hard.

And so he, he gives us this stream and Jesus is saying, OK,

those that's tired, those that's heavy laden, those that come to

me because I will give you rest, OK, I will lift it off you.

I will restrain you. I will charge you, I will give

you energy. I will lift off the heavy yoke.

I will hurt. I will heal what hurts.

And so we are not just talking about skipping meals, but we are

talking about letting God do a deep work, Let him repair.

They didn't fix it, restore, rebuild.

OK. And so through this great fix

fast, Hosiah starts and is very early in the chapter, those

first few verses, he starts right off and he gives us the

difference between a wrong fast, because how many of you know you

can do it wrong here, wrong and a right fast.

And so God doesn't want us to fast and stay stuck.

And so he comes and he's showing us what is.

He's chosen fast for us. And he makes it so clear what

he's chosen fast is for us in Isaiah 58.

Because when the people were fasting, they were frustrated,

OK? So yeah, they were fasting.

They were skipping meals and and they were asking God, but why

isn't anything changing? We are fasting.

Why isn't anything? Because they were skipping meals

and they were fasting and God answers them, OK, the outside

looks good, religious or spiritual, but the inside's

still the same. And so they were fasting, but

while they were fasting, they were still holding grudges,

still blaming, OK, still pointing fingers, still offended

while they were fasting. So that's a big lesson right

there that you can skip meals and still feed the old habits.

So yeah, your stomach is empty, but you know, the heart is still

offended. It's still full and clogged up

with bits and this and offence. It's like unplugging the fridge

but plugging into frustration. So you're unplugged from food

but plugged into fear. Now unplugging food, turning

food off. Yeah, but then powered up anger

and offense and gossip. So yes, the fridge is off, but

you've still been fed. So some of us are fasting from

food. Yeah, fasting from food, but

feasting on frustration. Now God is showing us the right

way to fast. And so we're going to start this

off the right way. God's chosen fast.

And he's saying, listen, I want the way that I want you to fall

this fast, to lift you, not to weigh you down, because that's

the purpose of the fast, to break off the burdens, to break

off the chains. The great fast, this great fix

fast. OK?

It's not just a hungry stomach, but it's a humble heart.

Are you with me, somebody? Are you getting this?

It's a humble heart this great fast.

We're humbling our heart before God.

So it's not just a hungry star. It's a humble heart.

Not just less food, but the emphasis on more freedom break

every. So it's it's lifting burden.

So it's the yoke removed, chain break, burden left.

It's a hung that's restored, repaired, rebuilt, that's this

fast that God is saying. God is saying, listen, I am not

after a religious show, after a religious performance showing

out, wow, this is how good we get fast this and that.

That's not what God is after. He's after real freedom.

That's the purpose of the fast, bring about real and true

freedom in our lives. Somebody say freedom.

And so the Scripture just shows us what happens when we fast

this way. When we fast God's way, the

right way, the burdens will be removed.

OK, somebody change will break. OK, it burdens will lift.

So this isn't about skipping meals.

This is about God. It's not just skipping.

It's it's God coming in and bringing freedom, lifting off

something of your life. And you know, some of us are

strong, pushing through, doing your best, but it's like you

feel tired, tired, but not because you are weak.

It's because you have been carrying something that you are

never meant or never supposed to carry.

OK, let me give you an illustration here.

Because in the Bible days, they would put a yoke on an ox and

the yoke goes around the ox's shoulders.

And so that. Yoke on the ox's shoulder is

there to restrict the ox, to control the ox limit, pull back.

That ox is strong, but with that yoke around is everything feels

heavier than it should. That is how the enemy works

sometimes. If he cannot stop you or destroy

you, the enemy is trying to restrict you.

He's trying to limit you, restrict you.

Living under limitations tries to make you feel and live small

and stuck under a yoke. OK, now limitation isn't you can

be gifted, talented, cold, OK, and still feel heavy if there's

a yoke serving, loving God, still life feels, still heavy if

there is a yoke. Because a yoke can sound like

oh, I'm not good enough. I've made too many mistakes.

I'm never going to change. This is just who I am.

I am not good enough. And so a yoke can show up as

fear, anxiety, doubt, depression, rejection, low

confidence. And so the good news is that God

doesn't just notice the yoke. He has a plan to destroy it.

Come on, somebody. Yeah, that's the kind of God,

and it gives us the answer in his word.

Hallelujah. Somebody say break every chain.

Yeah, come on. Heziah chapter 10, verse 27.

He's so clear. The Bible says that the yoke

shall be destroyed. It will be destroyed.

The Bible doesn't say the yoke will be managed or tolerated,

destroyed. That means God isn't just

trimming it back. He's sending it.

He's not just removing, he's destroying it.

Oh, my God, it's not coming back.

Jesus, that thing breaks off your life.

You'll never see it again. Hold up by such another slapper.

That addiction, that training, it breaks off.

My God, that thing broke off me. I remember.

Listen, I mean, I'm not on sugar now.

For how long? Since your last year's first?

There's some things you'll never see again.

You're never going to fight it. You're never going to go.

That pattern, that cycle, and it may be a generational curse, has

been passed down through three generations.

That thing is broken off. It snaps off your life like

that. This is our car.

This is our car. Oh, I feel it because this is

the time we are in. Hallelujah, my God.

Now remember the picture, the shoulder, the chick in the

stomach, because it starts with the shoulder.

For many of us, it starts with the shoulder.

The burdens, OK, And so money pressure, health pressure,

family pressure, future pressure.

But God says that pressure that is not yours to carry.

He says in first Peter 5 and 7 cast all your anxiety on him

because he cares for you. This means you don't have to

hold everything together. You do not have to hold the

weight of the world carried on your shoulders because Jesus

already carried it on the cross. So we are not we listen, we're

not going to we won't carry what Jesus already carried.

Say that with me. I won't carry what Jesus already

carried. Hallelujah, praise God because

this fast, what it is, it's a transfer.

It's a handoff from from your shoulders to his shoulders.

That's what happens during this time when we just cast it off.

We don't carry those burdens anymore.

And so as I 58, it doesn't just stop with what is happening in

US, but what is happening through US, how we treat people,

how we treat how we speak to people, OK, talking about words,

OK, so how we respond and how we love.

Because he says here in verse four, he says your fasting ends

in quarreling and strife. Because here's the thing about a

real fast. It doesn't just changes your

appetite a real fast, changes your attitude a real fast says

stop blaming and pointing fingers.

Stop the harsh words, OK, Stop the hurtful words, the sharp

talk. And so my mouth will match my

fast, somebody. Hallelujah.

Yeah, my mouth will match my fast.

I'm not just putting food aside, but I'm also putting hopeful

words aside. Right.

OK. It's like toothpaste.

That's words are like toothpaste.

Once you do toothpaste, once it's out, it's out.

Once those words are out, it's out.

It's like, oh, I said it, now I want to try and you know, can

you get that? You cannot get the toothpaste

back into that tube. Once the toothpaste is out of

the tube, it's out. The words.

Oh my God, I wish I never said that.

Please, Lord, put kindness in our tone, the way we speak.

Let us be gentle with one another.

We're not going to be slicing up and devouring one another.

Oh, we are God's people. We are God's people.

We're going to be kind. We're going to be loving.

So getting this fast. We are going to pray.

Lord, put kindness in my tone. Lord, help me to respond in

peace. The way I talk and treat people.

That's and please Lord, please heal my heart so I don't speak

out of a place of pain. Hurtful people want to hurt

others, so heal our hearts. And so my mouth will match my

fast. We thank God we put food aside.

But yes, let's put some hurtful negative words aside as well.

My mouth will match my fast. Come on, let's say that my mouth

will match my fast. Hallelujah, Isaiah 58.

Now it goes on and it says share your food.

And this is amazing because during a fast, I'm not at the

grocery store buying food, OK, I'm not at Tesco's because I'm

fasting. I'm not hanging out at LD buying

steaks because I'm fasting. And I thank God for the steak

cake, but that's maybe for someone again.

Hey now is a ton of fasting so there will be some extra money

leftover. I will not be buying food.

So what do we do with the money? The Bible says share the food

with somebody else. I go to my neighbor.

I say neighbor can I buy you some groceries?

Yeah, share. OK, so we help vulnerable.

We care for people. This is the Bible.

Let me show it to you. This is verse 7.

It says there is it not to share your food with a hungry to

provide the poor wanderer or shelter when we see the naked

and clove there. So in other words, the fast

becomes a public love. So you are becoming a miracle to

someone else. I heard about a story about a

Doctor Who's doing surgery on people in remote areas in

Africa. And so very limited electric,

limited supplies, limited tools, hard work in a remote village in

Africa. They're just doing a lot of

surgeries operating and on people.

They limited tools, long hours. And this one day this young man

comes in and he's a life threatening injury, urgently

need blood. They don't have a supply of

blood. Now the doctor could have

prayed, oh Lord, send a miracle and that's good and that's great

to play all that. But in that moment, he realized

he's the miracle. And so he donated his own blood.

And so when he donated, after he gave his blood, then he did the

operation surgery and he saved the man's, that young man's

life. Hallelujah.

Now, what I want you to understand is we know that God

can do miracles, but understand that God puts miracles in you.

Come on, somebody. Yes.

And so you may not give blood like that, but you can give your

time. You can give your kindness, a

listening ear, a meal, a bride and encouraging text, a phone

conversation to encourage someone, a prayer.

And So what feels small to you can feel like a miracle to

somebody else. Just a small text can feel like

a miracle for somebody else. Encouraging somebody else with

your words. Hallelujah.

And so you can be the answer to somebody's prayer, yes, you can

be the help that they have been longing for.

You can be that one now. I mean, if you know that we, we

are the body of Christ, we are his body on the planet now in

many ways. God has no arms to hug but

through your arms except for your arms, No voice to encourage

except for your voice. God has no hands to help except

for your hands. That's why the evangelism of

people said they so vital. We are his hands, His feet, his

mouth in this place. This is where we are

representing God, the body of Christ.

We are his hands, His voice. Come on, somebody.

You could be an answer to someone's prayer.

You can become the miracle that they have been asking for.

There is so many people, they pray, Oh God, how powerful.

I'm struggling. Depression.

We are the answer, the choice. We have got the cure.

We have got the answer to this world.

We are the answer. God has said now as unity as the

body of Christ on this planet, and life is almost exciting and

so happy and blessed when we realize that I can become a

miracle today. You know, Jesus told the story

about the man that was beaten down, left for dead and people

passed by. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, it's dying, people

walking, religious people pass by, read the Bible.

Who's the one that stopped and helped him when he was young?

He was bruised. He was beaten by robbers,

basically dying. Who stopped?

Not the religious funk. Foreigner.

Samaritan stopped, helped him bandage his wounds.

Paying the ball. Come on, somebody, let's get.

Let's make this really practical now, OK?

Yeah. That's what the Bible say he

paid for is your accommodation. I will pay for your

accommodation. I will, I will pay the ball for

the hotel for you to stay in to the get better.

Stay involved. It's like, listen, when I'm back

late, I'll take care of business.

Don't worry about it. Pay the ball, pay the groceries,

help. That is love gets practical,

real love. What love does.

Love doesn't just say from a distance, I'll pray for you.

Love gets involved. Love is like, listen, can I pay

your rent? Can I pay your groceries?

Can I pay your mortgage? How can I help you?

That's real love involved. How can I help?

That was the Bible says there's a beautiful story in 1995 that

that premature twins. Oh, and so the one baby fighting

very weak, struggling with a severe heart problem.

I mean, the baby was, they did not expect one of the twins to

live to make it very premature, very small, very tiny.

And the babies were placed in the separate incubators.

And so several days the baby, the little one just kept on

continuing, going downhill. She's very, she's very close to

death. And this nurse, oh, I love us.

This nurse had this bright idea. She's like, why don't we put the

two babies, the two twins says why don't we put them together?

When they put them together, the stronger one managed to wrap her

arms over her sister. And much to everyone surprised,

the weaker 1 started improved, she improved, started getting

stronger, strength returned, Hallelujah.

And she made it alive and wow, come on, somebody.

I love that. I love that, you know, they

called it and it's how cute. I'm just like, I just, they

called it the, the, the rescuing hug, that hug, the rescuing hug

saved her life. I just love that.

Hallelujah. So don't underestimate what's in

you. Yeah, there's miracles in you

waiting to happen. Don't underestimate you.

Your hug can heal. Jesus.

I feel the anointed. Your words can lift up.

Your words can lift up. Your words can encourage

somebody. Your words, Your kind words.

Your words. Your hug, oh, it can lift

somebody. Your presence can bring peace.

It can bring hope. It can restore.

It can help somebody. Your life, you're a miracle.

You are somebody's miracle. You are somebody.

Listen, and I want you to get this.

I want you to speak it over somebody.

Say some. You are someone's miracle.

Come outside. You are someone's miracle.

You are someone's miracle. You are someone's miracle.

I feel that's so strong. You are someone's miracle.

Someone's waiting for you. And here's the principle.

Serving is a switch, serving, serving others.

When you serve. Serving is switching your lights

on. When you serve, you switch your

lights on. That's right, when you serve

other, when you lift others up, when you lift others up, God

turns your lights on. When you lift others up through

your words, through your heart, through reaching out, buying

groceries, looking, buying coffee, talking to somebody,

reaching out to others, you left somebody.

God turns your lights on. Listen, let me when you serve,

let me give you this Isaiah 58 verse 10.

Isaiah 58:10

If you spend yourself on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the

needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the

darkness. What you do for others, God will

do for you. Come on, somebody.

What you do for others, God will do for you.

OK, You want to bless business? You to help somebody else's

business? God.

God bless your business. You help somebody else in that

marriage. God will help your marriage.

You help somebody else with their children.

God will help your children. Yeah, it's so simple, Church.

What you do for others, God will do for you.

You pay somebody's mortgage. Somebody's help.

God will pay your mortgage. What you do for others, God will

do for you. You help them.

God helps you. You live them.

God lifts you. It's a principle throughout the

Bible. What you do for others, God will

do for you. When you smile at that, God will

smile on you. Simple.

It's very practical. We don't have to make this all

spiritual. This is very practical.

And so serving is a switch. The Bible says when you serve,

when you lift others up, God switches on your eyes, OK, Your

light will rise in darkness. That means you're not staying in

the dark. You're not staying confused.

You're not staying stunk. Can you say, man, somebody?

No, Haziah goes deeper and it brings it home.

Can we go? Can can we bring this home?

OK, yeah. And so he's I just love this

verse because he makes it real principal personal.

And it just says, listen, do not turn away from your own.

Do not turn away from your spouse.

Do not turn away from your children.

Do not turn away from your own. Listen, just let me just show

you Isaiah 58 verse 7. We go through these verses and

Isaiah 58:7

he says, and do not turn away from your own flesh of blood.

Then your lie will break forth like that.

So don't be kind to everybody everywhere.

Come to everybody at work, everybody in public and come

home cold and harsh and hard in private, but in public kind to

everybody, but at home cold and hard and harsh.

OK, so we got to restore the home.

OK, Because revival starts at Hump.

The great fix fast. Let's restore our homes.

OK? The home with simple steps.

One meal together. OK, one apology at the table 10.

I love you, my sweetheart. I love you, my darling.

I love you, my son Peter. Paul, Josh, your daddy loves

you. What about we as a family pray

together? Yes.

And we sit around the table. And that's a personal testament

in our lives. We've not just been placed with

one kitchen type. Because The thing is, here's the

thing, the miracle is not always out there somewhere.

The miracle many times just sitting right there at the

kitchen table. And this, we've just been placed

not just with one kitchen table, more like 2.

And it's what a turn around in our family, in our home, sitting

at the table, not just playing struggle, but having a meal,

talking, praying. Oh, I love you, my darling.

Oh my God. We've seen a tenant up in our

lives, and it's not just fasting.

Weeks and weeks of PlayStation and Xbox.

Thank God for that, but it's family being restoration.

Hallelujah. Revival starts at home.

And so here's the key. When my fast moves my feet, God

turns my lights on. When my fast moves my feet, God

turns my lights on. Say that when my fast moves my

feet, God turns my lights on. Hallelujah.

And so Isaiah 58 verse 8, it goes on another powerful promise

Isaiah 58:8

of healing. Your healing will quickly

appear. And so Scripture is giving us

hope, oh, that God will speed it up.

He will accelerate healing, heal your body, heal your mind,

emotions, family. Amen.

And so God can do in a moment what we cannot do in years.

God can speed up in a moment, and he can heal.

And an emotion. He can heal a son and a

daughter, a family member. He can heal, He can speed it up.

He can do it in a moment what we cannot do in years.

Next one, Heziah 58 verse 8. Then your righteousness will go

before you and the glory of the Lord will be your real God.

So God is saying, listen, I've already gone before you and I

love that that God is going before us.

He's right there before you, Hallelujah.

And then he says behind you, I'm your real God, the glory of God.

Because some of us are being tackled and hitting from behind

a past mistake, something that happened I regret or something

keeps on a shame or so, keeps on tackling it to appear.

But God says, listen, I've got your back.

Oh, I love that. I've got your back.

Somebody said that. God's got my back.

God's got my back. Oh, come on.

God's got my back. Come on.

Say that. Declare that.

Say God's got my back. God's got my back.

Yeah. And when God's got your back,

you can finally move forward. Yeah.

Those policy issues, God's got that.

The glory of God's cover your real God.

Hallelujah. And then he goes on into the

next verse. I just love his eye for that.

He's so full of promises. We're just gonna go through this

quickly. Stacia, when you will call and

the Lord will answer, you will cry for help and he will say,

yeah, I am and I just love them because God's not distant, God's

not far away. Some God is not fasting is not

twisting God's home. It is aligning our hearts,

tuning our hearts to God's voice.

OK, and so if you have been praying for a long time, as I

got, why is this taking so long? I've been praying about this.

I've been praying. Remember Daniel chapter 10 and

Daniel 10 · chapter mention

this was after Daniel fasted for for those of you that's going on

a Daniel fast 21 days, OK, fruits, vegetables.

So he so he said specifically there no sweets, no choice for

another 21 days after 21 days. Now listen because he's been

really going for it. Then the Angel said this to it

because like, OK, why has it been taking so long?

The Angel said the very first moment you spoke the words, the

very first it was heard, your words were, that's what the

Bible says, the very first moment.

This is the first day of his fast.

Today we're starting today. The praise we are praying today

the Bible says is heard in heaven immediately.

Now, yes, there was resistance. So then they resist, but it was

heard immediately. So delay is not denial.

So I'm praying this, pray, Lord bless this, this, this, this,

and we're praying the prayer. It seems like nothing has

happened, but no, the Bible says it's already immediately heard

in heaven. So the lady is not the nail.

Don't quit after a couple of days.

Oh, I don't see an answer yet. OK many times we see the results

breakthrough after the first. OK.

And then he's like, Oh my goodness, how did this How how's

this in February March. I brought some things are just

breaking loose happening big time.

Yeah, and God's reminding us. So don't quit, don't stop

praying, don't stop believing, OK?

Because there comes a moment and a time where all of a sudden you

like you call and God answers this.

Here I am, my son, my daughter. Yeah.

How amazing is that? What a promise.

And then the the last verse, now this is last week's message.

It says then you will be known as rebuilders of walls and the

restorer of homes. OK, now I don't have time to go

through all of that again, but God gives us our identity.

That's your identity. He calls you a restorer, A

repairer, A rebuilder. That's how the restoration takes

place, not just in and through it, but through us.

God calls us the restorer, the repairer, the rebuilder.

You are the repaired, the rebuilder.

OK? And so when God repairs your

life, you don't just stay in survival mode, but you start

rebuilding again because repaired people, and this is so

important, that God fixes us. He restores us.

But repaired people rebuild, right?

Praise God because this is the year of the great restoration of

the church. God is restoring his church.

Hallelujah. And I just love that because

that's last week's message. Please get that because that is

so powerful because that is our 2026 is the year of the great

fix. That is our assignment.

Restore, repair, rebuild. This is the time of the great

harvest. One souls, we are reaching

others. So God's not only just fixing

things in our lives, but he's fixing things through our lives.

He's fixing through your life. Now let's just make this

practical because this goal, OK, we want to draw closer to God.

We want to see freedom come to our lives.

And so this is the key. It's a humble heart, but it's

got to be genuine and sincere, OK, we are not in for a

religious performance and see this or the we are genuine with

God. We meaning business with God,

Lord. OK, yes, this is now maybe for

you it's a 21 day war Tony fast. Maybe it's a Daniel fast OK with

no cops, no bread, OK, it's all there in the Bible as the Holy

Spirit leads you. Maybe just skip one meal a day,

maybe sunrise to sunset. What about it?

God leads you and he says right, be Nesta fast.

OK, so as the Holy Spirit leads you, Jesus said specifically not

if you fast but when you fast. So what you can do as the Holy

Spirit leads you during this fast?

OK. And please also what's very

powerful is when it comes to social media, sometimes the Holy

Spirit's like I want you to fast social media, Netflix,

entertainment, gaming, OK, scrolling right?

And so God can work with anything that you give him.

We just sincere, we say, Lord, this is what we can give you.

This is what we're going to do. And so some people, you know,

they fast sugars and sweets, but that's good and that's great.

But also for sometimes fasting and attitude, a complaining

fast, fast negative words, fast blame a blaming fast.

OK, So yes, the Bible talks about fasting food, but

sometimes the only spurs are like, OK, I want you to fast

negative, hurtful words. And so this isn't just about

what's on your plate, but this is what's on your heart.

And so remember, this isn't a diet, OK?

This is devotion, OK? This is what we're doing.

We're consecrating this. We are focusing on God.

We're not. It's not going in a diet for

some some weight loss. This is for consecrating between

you and God. Devotion, connection.

It's not perfection, OK? It's connection, right?

And here's the key, what makes fasting work?

Don't just remove something, but replace it.

Because if you are just going to remove food and don't replace it

with God, you're going to be hungry.

You're just hungry at heart hungry.

So replace it. OK, So if you remove social

media, scrolling Netflix, if you remove the entertainment,

replace it with time in the word of God.

Otherwise you're just going to get bored.

You just be bored. Replace it.

So think, remove the food and then replace it with time in the

word. Read the word, prayer, worship,

time in God's presence. That's the beauty of when we go

to fast. It's like, Oh my goodness, it

feels so slow. Got so much time because I don't

spend all of that time in the kitchen preparing and cooking

food. Now I've got time to spend in

the word of God. So we're just making more room

for God. And then what you do is you add

one desire 58 action, take somebody, pray for somebody,

give something, share something, OK, help somebody, check on

somebody because the great fix fast.

Yes, the fast is spiritual, of course, but it's also practical

and just be wise and be healthy, OK?

Please, if you have medical concerns, right?

If you have special circumstances, OK, go and seek

medical guidance, right? We are not there to hurt or harm

our bodies. We are there to give God the

glory, OK, So just be wise. And so it's about inviting is

coming to God is a God. I'm coming with a humble heart.

I'm putting this food aside because I want to seek you God

on. Is that so just keep it real.

But then at the same time do something that actually

stretches you. Yeah.

Come on. We got to go from glory to

glory. OK.

Yeah, I did the first laws. But this year we're going

deeper. Yeah.

That makes me think of the little girl that says to her

parents, she told the parents, she's like, I want to go on a

fast, but but I choose to fast broccoli.

And the parents love because she's she never she's never had

broccoli. She doesn't eat broccoli anyway.

I'm fasting broccoli like, oh, sweetie, OK, she didn't eat

broccoli anyway. So that's a lot of people fast.

They give God something that they don't want anyway.

OK, I'll fast broccoli. I'll fast.

You don't even eat broccoli, my goodness.

And so for me, fasting sugar and sweets is no big deal because

generally I don't eat sugar. I'm of sugar now, so I don't.

So for me, that's not going to stretch me to fast, to quit

sugar. I'm not on sugar, even living

amongst my boys, and I have sweets all the time.

I asked my wife, I've got you and I just don't.

And I don't miss sugar. And that broke last year, my

post. So I'm a yeah, like now I can go

deeper. So I'm not just giving up sugar

because that's not going to be a stretch for me.

It's not going to be a big deal for me.

God already knows. OK, I'm off sugar now.

I don't consume sugar, so for me now I can go step further.

So please start where you at. Start with that and then you go

further, then you go deeper, OK? We don't start with a 40 day

fast, just warped only, OK. We don't see I'm not Jesus, OK?

Like Jesus in the desert, Moses on the mountain, 40 days.

I'm like, my God, these prophets that you know, but you can see

you fasting you, you grow into that, OK, as the Lord leads you,

but God make it real because God sees the sacrifice.

It's like, wow, my son, my daughter, wow, you gave that up.

Wow, God sees the sacrifice. Now listen, if you mess up one

day, don't quit, OK? Don't throw in the whole towel,

the whole fast, OK? The gym members, you don't give

up your gym membership because you just missed one gym workout.

You don't just give up the whole job, OK?

You just match 1. You just get back up again.

OK. So if you accidentally OK by

mistake, eat the biscuit, then you slip in a biscuit, you know,

like, OK, that's the a little McDonald's, you're there.

But if something happens, OK, listen, you don't lose your

salvation if you mess up, slip in a little, you know, sweetie,

you know there OK, But that's that's not going to tell me.

But for in my case, there's certain things that you that

each and everyone of you don't lose your salvation.

We're all different. We're all unique.

Everyone runs and there's no competition competing or

comparing in God's Kingdom. Everyone runs your own unique

place. You stand before God.

God sees your sacrifice. God sees wow, that was a

sacrifice. I know God knows you better than

anyone. So I'm not performing.

I'm positioning. I love this one illustration.

A man he once hit £1000 cash in his Bible and so he forgot about

it because life got busy and he was just, you know, busy and he

stopped opening up and stopped reading his Bible.

And so later on he then he started his fast and during the

fast gods he felt the pull of God.

Something's like pulling his like read the Bible and so he's

like OK, so he opens up the Bible and so when he opened the

Bible being wow, £1000 cash is all there.

OK, now there was treasure the whole time.

That's the point. It's not about the kind, it's

about there was treasure the whole time.

It was there. The forgotten promises, the

forgotten wisdom, the strength, the peace, the direction for our

lives. It's there the whole time.

So there is spiritual treasures during this time that is waiting

for us. It is waiting.

God is ready, it's there. The promises are there.

That is what God is saying. All He's saying just align your

hearts. Just come to me and did you make

room for me? I am going to give you what you

really need. It's when we make room for God

because life gets busy and God's like, it's right, Yeah, what you

are looking for in your marriage, in your family, in

your life, you are looking for this.

But we are like in this rat race, distracted, and God is

calling us to come and align with him.

And he says, there it is my son. There it is, my daughter.

It's always been there. It's been waiting for you.

Just open the Bible, read the Bible.

It's there and God will fool you with what you really need and

that is this great fix fast. We're not trying to impress God,

but we are making room for God. And when you make room, he will

fool you. So in closing, this leads us to

as I as power word, which is then everybody say then then

because here comes all the promises.

It's like the chosen fast during this when you step into that,

then your light will breakthrough, then healing will

spring forth. Then I will be go before you

behind you then and he goes on. He goes let me read that.

He says to you, then your light breaks for flight on then

healing springs up quickly then righteousness supposed to be

then the glory of the Lord is your real God then call and God

answers you right and then you rebuilt and should rose.

Then you are called repair and restore.

Hallelujah, God is stacking up his promises one after the

other. This is the great big fast fix.

Hallelujah, God is showing us this pattern.

He's saying in his word, if you go, you step into this great fix

fast, this fast that fixes, that repairs, OK, God will release

his results, his promises, and I believe this is a turning point.

Church, this is a new season. It's a brand new start.

It's a turning point and I believe some of you, you will

notice this week you'll already start feeling lighter.

This week you'll start feeling lighter.

You'll already start feeling burdens come off shoulders.

You'll just like this week. Watch this week.

You are already going to sleep better.

Watch this. Watch this word, you're going to

feel better. You're going to sleep better.

Watch marriages, families turn around.

Watch your light breakthrough this week already starting into

this fast. Watch things turn around in your

life. Hallelujah.

So walk in this fast, expect good things because God is a

restorer. That is what he he's a repairer,

He rebels, He finishes. And if there's one thing that

you remember, come today, remember this, God's not

finished with you. He's fixing it.

Amen. Let's all start Highland Bay.

I praise God, let's all stand. I believe God's moving in this

place. This is a new season.

The great fix has begun. It has started in our lives.

So if you did today and you say, pastor, I want to go deep.

I want to go in this devotion with a fast mentality, with

going deep, with this freedom, with breaking chains.

I'm in business with God. If that is you, I'm going to

pray because there's a grace corporately on us for this

season to fast. And so if you want to step into

this fast with devotion and you need pray for this grace moment

of fresh start, Maybe you need repaired in a relationship,

restoration in a family relationship.

If that is you, we are going to pray.

Maybe you need to rebuild purpose, passion in your heart.

So if that is you, just put your hand on your heart.

As I pray for us. Father, we thank you right now

every person in this place. Lord, we thank you Lord that you

are here and that you release every burden.

Lord, we cause every anxiety on you, and we lay down pressure

and heaviness and fear, and we declare every yoke destroyed now

in Jesus name. Every chain is broken, every

weightlifting. Lord, let your peace flood every

mind in this place. Strength return.

Lord, we pray and we say right now we choose to forgive.

We let go of what's been hurting us.

We forgive. Restore trust in families.

Father, retrain our appetites, break cravings.

Lord, break distractions. Give us a fresh hunger for you,

Lord. Yes, Lord.

Oh Lord, a hunger for your word, a hunger for prayer, a hunger

for your Kingdom, for your ways. Restore, Lord.

Bring unity back, Lord, Restore purpose.

Raise up rebuilders. Rise up, repairers, rise up.

Restore us in this house. And Lord, every person who feels

stuck, ashamed of far from you, wrap them in your grace right

now. Lord.

Lord, I pray wrap them and your love, let them feel your love.

Let them know that you are not finished with them.

Jesus, we receive your great fix right now.

Repair what's heavy, restore what's broken, rebuild what's

been damaged. Lord, we thank you, Lord, for

new beginnings. And we thank you, Lord, for your

grace upon this great fix. Fast, God, that chains break.

Now church, say these with faith, say it out loud.

Say God's not finished. He's fixing it.

This is God's chosen fast. Every yoke breaks.

The yoke is breaking. Chain is stopping.

The burden is lifting. My light is breaking forth.

Healing is springing up quickly. The Lord goes before me and

God's my back. When I call God answers here I

am. My home will be restored and

filled with peace. I am a repairer, I am a

restorer. God will fix it through me.

How come as somebody give God some praise.

Hallelujah.
