Pastor David Myers reveals how the eight days after Jesus' resurrection established a pattern that still resets humanity today.

Pastor David Myers opens the sermon by reading John 20:26, highlighting the phrase 'after eight days' as key. He frames the post-resurrection period as a deliberate reset for the New Testament church and all humanity. Myers explains that Jesus first appeared on the first day of the week, establishing Sunday worship as a new beginning. He delves into biblical numerology, noting the number eight symbolizes a new start or order, linking it to eternal life and a remade world. The sermon then focuses on Thomas, who missed Jesus's first appearance and doubted for a week. Myers dramatizes Thomas's crisis and Jesus's return on the eighth day, offering Thomas a personal fresh start by inviting him to touch his wounds. This illustrates God's willingness to adjust protocols for individual faith. Myers connects John 20:26 to other verses ending in 20:26, like Matthew 20:26 on service and Leviticus 20:26 on holiness, arguing they all point to new beginnings. He prophesies 2026 as a year of peace, perspective, and new identity for believers. The sermon shifts to practical application, announcing twelve eight-day spiritual seasons for East Wind Church in 2026, starting with fasting tomorrow. These include prayer, consecration, outreach, study, giving, mentoring, sacrifice, volunteering, faith, harvest, commitment, and rejoicing. Myers emphasizes the Holy Ghost as a fresh start, recounting revival experiences globally. He concludes with an altar call, urging those who haven't received the Holy Ghost to come forward, leading into a prayer of repentance and invitation for refilling.
