She emphasizes that even in repentance, an offering of thanksgiving is crucial for God to hear and act.
Covenant Living and Avoiding Idolatry [0:28]
Tiphani stresses the importance of aligning oneself with leaders who are in good standing with God, as a leader's spiritual state affects those who follow them. She introduces the mandate to build bolder believers who are covenanted with Christ, not carnal or compromised. Listeners are assigned homework to write out the benefits of their salvation and to identify and eliminate idols in their lives that might lead them to follow the wrong leaders.
The Consequences of Rejecting Wisdom [3:08]
The message underscores that ignorance of God's word can lead to destruction, and rejecting wisdom puts one at odds with God.

She encourages listeners to view each day as a new opportunity to align with God, offering an altar of thanksgiving to restore communication with Him.
Motives Matter to God [8:24]
Tiphani explains that God may stop listening to those in pride or wickedness, affecting whether prayers are answered. She clarifies that fasting should not be a means to an end but a way to open one's heart to God. She stresses that motives matter to God, and seeking Him should be the primary goal, not just receiving blessings.
Stay of Execution and Modern-Day Plagues [11:04]
Thanksgiving can bring a "stay of execution," canceling death decrees and plagues. She identifies modern-day plagues as cancer, hepatitis, the flu, and COVID-19, encouraging listeners to thank God by His names and for past deliverances. She also emphasizes thanking God for what "formed but failed," acknowledging His protection even in unrealized threats.
Faith as Currency and the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving [13:00]
Tiphani explains that faith is the currency of the kingdom, and God has filled every believer's account with a billion dollars of faith. She encourages listeners to thank God before seeing breakthroughs, offering a sacrifice of thanksgiving. She connects this to the need to believe that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Practical Application of Thanksgiving and Faith [17:31]
Listeners are instructed to write down what they are believing God for during the fast and to assign a "faith dollar" amount to each item. She encourages thanking God by His names, such as Jehovah Rapha (the God who heals) and Jehovah Gabbor (the God, the man of war), and to remember God's interventions in 2025.
Introduction to the 72-Hour Dry Fast and Repentance [24:42]
Tiphani introduces a 72-hour dry fast, emphasizing the importance of repentance to maintain a close relationship with God and remove hindrances to answered prayer.

Repentance for Various Sins and Demonic Influences [27:15]
Listeners are urged to repent for pride, Jezebel spirit, abortion (Moolak covenant), lying, false accusations, witchcraft, unbelief, lust, idolatry, mammon, religion, political views, and apostasy. She defines the Jezebel spirit as one that protects idolatry and persecutes God's prophets, noting its presence in attacks against those who speak God's word.
Renouncing Covenants with Demonic Spirits [33:56]
Following repentance, listeners are guided to renounce each sin and break associated covenants in the name of Jesus Christ. This includes divorcing from covenants with Leviathan/pride, Jezebel, Moolak, lies, witchcraft, unbelief, fear, lust, mammon, religion, politics, and apostasy.
Repentance and Forgiveness [39:23]
Tiphani advises listeners to repent for any specific taunts or torments they are experiencing, such as monitoring spirits or false accusations. She emphasizes the importance of forgiving others, referencing Matthew 18 where unforgiveness leads to being delivered to the tormentors.
The Importance of Forgiveness and Rebuke of Tormentors [42:19]
Forgiveness is presented as a way to avoid judgment and torment, even if it feels undeserved. She encourages listeners to make forgiveness their default setting. Following forgiveness, listeners are instructed to rebuke and cast out the tormentors who had legal right to be in their lives due to unforgiveness.
Maintaining Spiritual Boundaries and Avoiding Residue [50:27]
Tiphani references Numbers 33:55, warning that failing to drive out inhabitants (sins) will result in them becoming pricks in the eyes and thorns in the side. She uses analogies of a slight "boo boo" and smelling like fried chicken to illustrate the concept of spiritual residue. She stresses the need to wash oneself in the word to remove any lingering effects of past sins.
The Power of Covenant and Defeating Goliath [58:36]
Referencing 1st Samuel 17:43, Tiphani emphasizes that curses cannot land on those in covenant with God. She highlights David's confidence in the Lord of hosts against Goliath, reminding listeners that the battle belongs to the Lord. She encourages listeners to remember that at all times, the person they're speaking to is either talking through the Holy Spirit or a familiar spirit.
Discerning of Spirits and Soul Winning [1:03:21]
Tiphani stresses the importance of discerning of spirits to avoid psychological warfare. She defines a familiar spirit as a "family liar" that has been in the bloodline for generations. She urges listeners to repent for operating in a spirit of error and to be soul-winning conscious, referencing the movie World War Z where Israel saved people to reduce the number of enemies.
Taking Territories and Rebuke of Jezebel Spirit [1:13:08]
Tiphani addresses the need to take territories for God, warning against the Buddhist peacewalk as a form of spiritual warfare. She rebukes the spirit of Jezebel, which seeks to erect an altar in the nation and silence prophets. She emphasizes that disease, affliction, pestilence, plagues, and poverty are consequences of allowing idols to take territory.
Final Instructions and the Importance of Fasting [1:20:51]
Listeners are instructed to pray, "God, make it like it never happened" to remove residue from past sins. She reminds them to be inedible to the enemy, likening it to lions not eating fruits and vegetables. She shares that during fasting, the flesh is killed, making one less appealing to the enemy. She provides instructions for the 72-hour dry fast, referencing Esther, Paul, and Jonah as examples of those who fasted.
Practical Guidance for the Dry Fast and Anointing with Oil [1:33:30]
Tiphani offers practical advice for the dry fast, including resting, reading Isaiah 58, and repenting immediately if one stumbles. She addresses exceptions for pregnant women, those on medication, and those with the flu, advising them to seek medical advice. She emphasizes replacing food with the word of God and concludes with an anointing using oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's intervention and protection.
