About this episode
Dr. Eric Thomas discusses the importance of recognizing and activating one's spiritual authority to overcome challenges and not be ruled by those without power.
There's a moment in the Bible where a group of religious men tried to use Jesus' name as a trick, and the demon looked at them and said, "Jesus I know. Paul I know. But who are YOU?" That's the question this message answers. Not who you say you are. Who you actually ARE, in power. Dr. Eric Thomas, breaks down why so many people have the knowledge of God, the church attendance, the vocabulary, and still keep losing. The problem isn't your faith. It's that you haven't activated what God already gave you. In this message you'll discover: → Why David didn't pray Goliath down — and what he actually did → The difference between a form of godliness and real power → How a single phone call saved $15,000 (and what that has to do with your spiritual authority) → Why "playing small" isn't humility — it's robbing the Kingdom → What it looks like to stop letting people with no authority rule your life The power belongs to you. This message will show you how to pick it back up. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE + turn on notifications so you never miss a message: https://www.youtube.com/@APOCMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 📱 JOIN THE APOC COMMUNITY — Download the App: Search "APOC…
