AHHHH! I think I might just scream if I hear someone say, “Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy” ever again. 

This is one of the greatest falsehoods that has permeated the Body of Christ and keeps us bound and distracted from who we really are in Christ.

Satan has been defeated by Jesus. He has no right to ever touch your life, marriage, finances, ministry, family or body through sickness and disease. Even the power of sin that was once granted to him has been broken through Jesus Christ.

Yet, it is as if the Body of Christ did not receive the memo and we still believe that Satan has the power to touch and impede our lives.

It is time that we come into the full understanding that Satan has NO power and NO right to EVER come near you or anything you touch from this instant forward, in Jesus’ name. 

Here is a mini-teaching that reminds you of this truth and teaches on the scripture from which this misunderstanding has stemmed. Here’s to walking in the full power, dominion and authority you have been granted through Jesus!

Enjoy!

The Lord has been pouring the gospel of the Kingdom into me in a HUGE way. We have entered into the era of the gospel of the Kingdom and it brings with it the revelation of all we are missing as the Body of Christ. It is shocking just how far off base we are!

As I sat in my prayer time yesterday morning, I was asking the Lord to show me how to get this truth out because it is so foreign to even the Body of Christ even though it is clearly written in His Word. But, we haven’t been seeking the Truth, we have been seeking man’s concept of Christianity instead of the true works and teachings of Jesus.

He said to begin teaching this truth of the gospel of the Kingdom. Although we often use the word, “Kingdom” interchangeably with the the “Body of Christ,” they are two different things. You do not automatically gain entrance and inheritance to the Kingdom of God as a member of the Body of Christ.

It is time for these revelations to be released so we can get in position as the Body of Christ to receive the bridegroom, Jesus. We are not even close to being ready. So, it’s ONNN. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you…Whew!

It is time to stop playing church and develop our own ability to access the throne of God so we can receive all He has for us to prepare for the works of Jesus upon the earth.

Here is a scripture that has been burning in my heart for His people:

Let’s DO this! Let’s get beyond knowing the Word, to living the Word and producing the good fruit that walking in the Truth produces.

I have known that this Beyond Fearless work of purifying our hearts and cleaning our spirits is what the Body of Christ needs in a major way. We are literally stuck in so many ways because of a lack of understanding in this area.

Yet, it doesn’t seem like today’s Christians are that interested in presenting ourselves faultless before the Lord. And the spirit of fear is running so rampant in the Body of Christ that we have moved into a place where we are actually scared of living in a way that brings forth all of the power of Jesus in our lives.

And we don’t even realize it.

Then, the Lord shared with me how to present this work in a way that the Body of Christ will not run from it, but will run to it. He took me to the Word and showed me how to present the critical work of His to His Body so that we can be fully prepared here upon the earth for all He is doing in the Heavenly realm.

Here is a video teaching about what He revealed. Enjoy!

In His Love, Ericka

Did you know that according to scripture, being a part of the Body of Christ does not give you automatic entry into the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven? This is a critical understanding as a Christian. God has a specific set of prerequisites He requires prior to opening the full power of the Kingdom to come in your life. This knowledge and understanding will give you a peek into a whole new realm of God and how to access it.

Enjoy! Love, Ericka

It sounds like an obvious question, doesn’t it? You are probably thinking, “I know what the Kingdom is.” But I have been blown away at just how many Christians have never been taught exactly what the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God is and their distinctions. I do some teaching on understanding these Kingdoms so you can begin to have the understanding that will set you free.

Enjoy! Love, Ericka

I am always a bit saddened to see just how many of us are experiencing circumstances and challenges that have no right to be in our lives. They are not of Jesus, they are of the adversary (better known as Satan).

Yet, the spiritual war has been fought and won by Jesus (Rev. 12:7-8). One of the many, many reasons Jesus died for you was to defeat the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

The truth is, Satan has no right upon the earth, in your life, finances, families or any area of your ministry – ever. It seems like we have forgotten this truth and have too often settled to have the devil in our affairs. Enough. It is time for this to stop.

I am sharing a mini- teaching that will realign you with this truth so you can take back every area of your life. Enjoy!

Love, Ericka

God has many promises for Christians. He promises us life and life more abundantly (John 10:10). He promises to give us long life. He promises to supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). He promises that you can do all things through him who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). He promises to give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

He promises those who overcome this world and the works of the adversary that they should eat from the tree of life (Revelation 2:7). He promises those who keep his good works, the power over the nations and a position as a Morning Star (those who have the continual honor to praise and worship him on his throne). He promises those who overcome to sit with him and his throne (Revelation 3:21). He promises those who overcome that they shall inherit all things; he will be your God, and you shall become his son (Revelation 21:7). And so much more.

But the reality of far too many Christians is that we are not overcoming and therefore not accessing the promises of God that have been spoken in the Scripture.

What stands in the way of Christians experiencing the promises of God in their day-to-day life?

Understanding true deliverance is what is standing in the way.

One of the challenges with the topic of deliverance is not that it is gotten such a bad rap because so few people understand what it really is. Deliverance is often associated with highly dramatic demonstrations, uncontrolled demonic activity, and fear due to lack of proper training and equipping of those doing the work. I most often hear people telling others” you better be careful in dealing with that stuff” as if Jesus has not already destroyed the works of Satan upon the earth.

The body of Christ is stuck in it which will require an understanding of deliverance for us to get unstuck and access our inheritance in the kingdom of God. Accessing this inheritance means that we are to operate in the power of the kingdom of God right here right now in our lives and ministries. To inherit something means to access and spend while you are living. But yet the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are far too often referred to in relation to life after death.

It is time that we move into the space of true believers. The Scripture says that one of the activities of true believers is cast out devils in this name (Mark 16:17).

There is a realm beyond where most believers have been that God is trying to take you. This is a place in Him where you take command of all things He has given to you and live out the calling He has put into you. You walk in your delegated authority over all things in the spiritual realm and all things in the earthly realm. You will be clean from the adversary and all works of the flesh and things of this world. This is a place where the adversary must take his hands off of you in every area of your life.

There is a four step process that everyone who professes His name has to undergo in order to get to this place. The Lord first brought me these four steps as I was taking his dictation in my book Beyond Fearless: How to Remove Every Hindrance from Your Life. Then the Lord gave me a name for the four step process called The Convergence Spiritual Cleansing Method™.

The Four Essential steps are remembering who you are, preparing your heart for God, casting out the unclean, and calling in the clean.

Remembering Who You Are

As believers we sit at the right hand of Christ (see Ephesians 2:6), yet most Christians still operate far beneath the understanding of how to operate from our heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Understanding how to operate from the correct position of our heavenly rank is the key to walking in our power, dominion and authority to Christ Jesus.

You must know Him and understand the power He has given you to wield. You must be reconnected with your Heavenly position and rank through Christ Jesus. This knowing comes from entering into the depths of the Scripture and receiving the revelation of who Jesus is and the power you have through him. This revelation can only come directly from him.

You can only receive this revelation from him by spending intimate time in his presence asking, seeking, and knocking so the doors of heaven will be open until you to access the power Jesus that lies within your bosom.

Is Your Heart Ready for God?

The heart is a spiritual passageway between the things of heaven and the earth. Every past hurt, emotional pain, and area of unforgiveness and opens a doorway to darkness having access to your life, your body, family and ministry.

You must have a new and clean heart (Ezekiel 36:24). Forgiveness does not just happen, it takes effort and intention. Forgiveness is just an aspect of the process of purifying your heart. This is a prerequisite for those who desire to truly experience the power of Jesus. You have to go through the process to clean anything that is not of light from your heart. This process removes from your heart any lingering unforgiveness, resentment, hurt, or emotional issues that are causing your heart to be stony so it can be clear for God to use to speak to you.

Have You Casted out the Unclean?

You must have a right spirit (Psalm 51:10). A right spirit is the spirit that is a full reflection of the light of Jesus. There is a process Christians must go through to remove any remaining unclean hindrances from the world. This includes each and every one of the stronghold spirits and their fruit.

This process begins with understanding the 14 stronghold spirits and the thousands of fruit they produce. According to Scripture, you identify a spirit by the fruit it produces (Matthew 7:16- 20). If you are not clear about the distinction between unclean strongholds and their fruit you can end up speaking only to the fruit which will grow back in a matter of months. While this provides relief, it does not provide deliverance.

Calling in the Clean

There are seven spirits are characteristics of God (Isaiah 11:2). You must walk in His full power with the full manifestation of all seven characteristics of God. Without the presence of the seven spirits and the fruit that they produce in your life you cannot be whole. When the fullness of the seven spirits are manifest in your life you will bring forth the presence of and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. This is true wholeness and it is the fourth essential step up to deliverance.

Once you have walked through all four essential steps, you will then be escorted by the Holy Spirit into the works of Jesus. The Lord will confirm his word through you with signs and wonders and miracles. You will become the fruit of The Holy Spirit. You will complete the work the Jesus began and become an example of the greater works to which Jesus calls everyone who believes in Him to do (John 14:10 – 14).

It is imperative that every minister is fully equipped and all four essential areas of two deliverance so that the body of Christ may begin to experience the wholeness in the name of Jesus and the promises of God.

I have been so excited about all the Lord is doing in this ministry and the other ministries with which we work. My natural inclination is to keep guiding people to go higher and higher in the Lord and I have been putting offerings out that reflect that. Then, the Lord reminded me that a vast majority of His children who have been called are still struggling with fear. We have to be fearless before we can move into being beyond fearless.

This is a HUGE part of my Kingdom Assignment and I had to move into obedience and offer – for the first time in years – a teaching on fearlessness. This time it is all about removing any fear that is standing in the way of building your ministry. I hope you will join us on for this month’s teleclass:

Being Fearless: How to Remove Fear so your Ministry Can Thrive

Fear is a spiritual issue that produces HUGE challenges in your life. It is the elephant in the room that we don’t want to talk about. Yet it holds us back from so much.

• Fear keeps you from releasing the Word of God and the message God placed within you to those who need to hear it.
• It keeps you beating yourself up for what you’ve been through instead of sharing your testimony.
• It keeps you from reaching out to the very people who need to hear from you.
• Fear keeps you stuck and unable to move forward.
• It keeps you living lives that undervalue our worth.
• It undermines your self-esteem.
• It keeps you living paycheck-to-paycheck or invoice-to-invoice
• It keeps you in “romantic” relationships we should have let go of a long time ago.
• It keeps you accepting friendships that don’t truly honor who you are.
• It keeps you living beneath your God-intended level of greatness.
• It inhibits your creativity and ability to truly express your joy.
• It keeps your heart heavy with worry and doubt.
• It keeps you from living the juicy life God preordained for you.

It’s time to say NO MORE to fear!!!
It is robbing you of your divine life.

It is not enough to deal with what may be limiting your financial flow with tips, tools, new habits in the “natural” realm. It is not even enough to take your financial situation to prayer and fasting. This will only give you temporary relief because the root of the issue has not been dealt with.

Financial strain is an issue in the spiritual realm. This is a topic that I have had to come to know intimately over the last nine years of serving the Lord in “full-time” ministry that is assigned to the Body of Christ. That means that I have had to learn God’s Kingdom laws of provision and trust Him completely with my finances.

In the process of seeking God on this topic, He revealed to me the core spiritual issue that is behind financial lack. You can move to a place of transforming your financial life once you understand and apply this teaching.

There is a spiritual origin for every thing that manifests in the natural realm, including financial lack. Once you know how to wield the spiritual tools the Lord has left for you, you can first dissolve any issue. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (2 Corinthians 10:4).

A stronghold is an unclean spirit that enters into your temple or body to serve as a hindrance from you manifesting the instruction of the Lord. There are fourteen stronghold spirits that manifest in many, many different ways or fruits.

Lack is a fruit of the stronghold spirit named Bondage. Anytime you are experiencing lack, especially in your finances, it is evidence of the presence of the stronghold spirit of bondage. This spirit must be broken from your life in order to have a breakthrough in your finances and leave lack behind in a way that goes beyond relief to truly being delivered from bondage.

The great news is that because you belong to Jesus, all things in this world and spiritual realm are subject to His name and must flee when you move into your faith and authority. Here are the steps to be free from the spirit of bondage so your finances stop getting the squeeze and causing you any stress, doubt or worry.

Follow these steps to breaking through the spiritual side of financial lack.

1. Fully realize that you are carrying the spirit of bondage.
2. Spend some time getting back in touch with the fact that you sit at the right hand of Christ and God in spiritually high places. Study Ephesians Chapters 1 and 2 so the scripture can permeate your mind, heart and spirit.
3. Stand in the full power, authority and dominion you have through Christ Jesus and speak directly to the bondage and command it to to leave your body. (Make sure you speak directly and to not include any I’s or We’s such as “Bondage, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus” or “Spirit of Bondage, we command you to leave right now.”) For example, “Spirit of Bondage, in the name of Jesus, you are commanded to get out of this temple of  The Most High God right now!”
4. Continue speaking to it until you fully release it. You will literally feel the spirit leave your body through your mouth or nose. If you do not have a response, the spirit is not gone yet.
5. Keep stretching your faith and the instant you move into your authority, you will feel it.

That is the spiritual process to sending bondage packing forever. I am so excited about getting you free and having your finances reflect your freedom that I have created a new resource for you. For more information Click Here.

Although dealing with the spiritual side of things is all throughout the Word of God, few of us have actually been taught how to take authority over unclean spirits. Feel free to leave me any comments, testimonies  or questions. Be blessed! I’ll talk to you soon!

Two years ago I was very frustrated with God. I was tired of witnessing so many of His beloved struggling and living beneath the promises of His Word. I worked one-on-one with Christians in various stages of bringing forth their vision both in business and ministry and there was one thing they all had in common. They knew there was more. I did, too.

I began to dig-in and deeply pursue the truth of the Lord. I asked Him to show me His ways and His statutes and was willing to release everything tradition and growing up the church taught me. After all, that is what had gotten me to this place of feeling stuck. The moment I decided to release all I thought I knew, the Lord began to mightily pour into me.

He shared four steps that all believers must go through in order to enter into His Kingdom. This was mind blowing  to me because I was always taught that one you gave you life to the Lord, you gained access and entrance into His Kingdom. I have sense learned that this is simply not true.

I went to the Lord and this is what He shared about these four steps:

1. You must know Him and understand the power He has given you to wield. You must be reconnected with
   your Heavenly position and rank through Christ Jesus.
2. You must have a New and Clean Heart (Ez 36:24). You have to go through the process to clean anything that is
   not of God, and from your past, from your heart. This process removes any lingering unforgiveness, resentment, hurt, or
   emotional issues from your heart so it can be clear for God to use to speak to you.
3. You must have a Right Spirit (Psalm 51:10). You have to go through the process to remove any remaining
   unclean hindrances from the world. This includes each and every one of the stronghold spirits and their fruit.
4. You must walk in His full power with the full manifestation of all seven characteristics of God (Isaiah 11:2).
   You will then move in signs and wonders and the way of the Apostles. You will become the fruit of The Holy Spirit. You will
   complete the work that Jesus began and become an example of the greater works that Jesus calls everyone who believes
   in Him to do (John 14:10 – 14).

This is what living beyond fearless is all about. Jesus has revealed the entire process to His people. If you are serious about God, you must be serious about living Beyond Fearless. This work makes you unstoppable in the things of God.

God literally used me as a vessel to bring this work through. I was in prayer one morning and asking God to speak to me in relation to this work and what He would have me tell His people. The words I wrote in this article are the words God’s Holy Spirit spoke to me to share with you. The Body of Christ is ready for this work. I will be sharing how to move into the dimension of beyond fearless throughout this blog.

The most amazing thing is that after I moved in obedience in understanding the profoundness of this work, the Lord then reveals that these are the four steps to experiencing Heaven while you are living right here on the earth. It’s a new day! So, stay tuned…

Love, Ericka
