We'd like to start by saying, "This is a foregone conclusion. Period." (1 Corinthians 15:20) And that conclusion is, that salvation is found in the name Jesus, not Joseph, not Mary, not anyone else.
Please help us help you. You know what we mean.
There, we said it, folks. "That!"
So, I'm going to simply raise some concerns.
Shall we practice it? Take a friendly look at this deceptive verse and raise standards that should not have to be raised, but obviously are falling way, way short. If the world is a church, then why aren't the fish simply in God's hands? They shouldn't eat by force, either, but should be in the church where the pastor isn't simply a teacher of the Word, but is preaching the Word.
"Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me."
In other words, if you haven't got it, the Gospel, the Good News, is Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. By the way, who is the Word?
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:1-5)
So, who is the Word? "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
Jesus is the Word. He is God, and he is man. That is the Gospel. That is the Good News. He is not merely a teacher, but he is God. Jesus Christ is God.
Your first sentence mentions food on Sunday. Doesn't that make sense, since historically Sunday is the day the church has gathered for worship. There really isn't anything necessarily wrong with that. It simply is a common phrase. Also, when you asked in the name of Jesus Christ what your prayer request would be, you didn't say Joseph, Mary, or any other name.
"He said to them, "'This is the thing which Yahweh has spoken, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake today, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'" (Exodus 16:23)
"They gathered it morning by morning, everyone as much as he needed to eat; and when the sun grew hot, it melted." (Exodus 16:21)
People, test everything. "But examine all things. Hold firmly to that which is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
We pray for your YouTube channel and your request for a digital revival, but let us caution you: be mindful of your intentions and the content you produce. While we pray for your channel's growth, it is crucial to ensure that the focus is on honoring God and spreading His message, not merely on gaining fame or wealth.
Examine what you are doing. Is what you are doing worthwhile? Is it beneficial to the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of earth? Are you doing it for money?
"No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4)
"For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don't preach the Good News." (1 Corinthians 9:16)
"The things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have fellowship with demons. You can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons." (1 Corinthians 10:20-21)
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)
"Do all things without murmurings and disputes, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world," (Philippians 2:14-15)
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks. Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God." (Ephesians 5:1-5)

However, also please understand that this is God's world. He gave it to us to work and take care of.
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them. God said to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' " (Genesis 1:26-28)
"Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." (Genesis 2:15)
"Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he who gathers by labor shall increase." (Proverbs 13:11)
"In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return." (Genesis 3:19)
"For even the Son of Man didn't come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy." (Exodus 20:8-11)
