APOC Ministry

What if the thing you gave up on is only 52 days from fixed? Pastor Eric Thomas is on Day 14 of his own 52. He picked health. He started by walking where he wanted to run. And what he's discovered in two weeks has him calling his entire church into the same challenge. This isn't motivation. This is activation. You can't rebuild your marriage, your money, your ministry, and your health all at the same time. You'll quit by week two. But if you pick ONE wall, and you name it, pray over it, run one rep a day, and tell somebody, God can do in 52 days what you've been trying to do for 14 years. This message is for the person who keeps starting over. The one who's tried to fix five things at once and ended up with none of them built. The one who's been waiting on their spouse, their pastor, the government, or their past to repair what's been broken for years. Nobody is coming. You hire you. 52 days. One wall. Let's build. In this message you'll discover: → Why ONE wall beats five every time → The 4-step activation: Name. Pray. One Rep. Tell. → The 52-Day Affirmation (the version of you God called you to be) → Why the only person you need to hire is you → How to "close the gap" before Day 1 even starts → The truth about restoration — God restores YEARS, not just days → Why "conviction without a first step is just emotional" 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES Philippians 3:13-14 • Jeremiah 29:11 • Joel 2:25 • Isaiah 40:31 • Matthew 19:26 • Romans 8:1 CHAPTERS: Chapters 00:00:00 The Gift of 52 Days 00:06:20 The 52-Day Declaration: Committing to Show Up 00:09:32 What Are You Building?

Most people don’t lose their power overnight—they slowly forget who they are. This message reveals what happens when identity is stolen… and how it gets restored. Most people don’t lose their power in a dramatic moment. They adapt. They adjust. They survive. And over time, they forget who they were always meant to be. In this message, Eric Thomas exposes what happens when people forget they’re royalty—how identity gets robbed quietly, how survival replaces authority, and why remembering who you are changes everything. This isn’t about hype. It’s about identity, responsibility, and living from who God intended you to be—not beneath it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re living below your potential, shrinking to fit environments, or settling for less than what you know you’re capable of… this message is for you.

Most of us wouldn’t drink from a dirty cup — but we still expect God to pour fresh blessings into unclean vessels. In this message, Eric challenges a hard truth: freedom doesn’t remove contamination — instructions do. God isn’t withholding His presence. He’s protecting it. This sermon unpacks why so many people feel free but still stuck, how impatience, insecurity, overthinking, jealousy, and strife quietly contaminate our lives, and why immediate obedience is often the reset we’re praying for. If you’re asking: “Why am I still stuck?” “Why does it feel like God isn’t answering?” “What am I missing in this season?” This message is for you. 👉 This sermon continues a series on moving from another year to a new year by learning how to prepare for what God wants to pour.
