    Your Whole Family Is Waiting on You to Finally Say 'No More' | Eric Thomas
    May 10 2026
    Your whole family is waiting on you. They just don't know how to ask There's a "no more" sitting in your spirit right now. A line you should've drawn months ago. A truth you've been carrying alone because saying it out loud feels too costly. So you've stayed silent. You've kept the peace. You've prayed about it. You've waited. And nothing has changed. In this message, Eric Thomas breaks down what happens to a home, a marriage, a family — and a calling — when the person who sees the problem won't open their mouth. And what happens the moment they finally do. What you'll walk away with: - Why "I'll just pray about it" can be the most damaging response you give - The difference between keeping the peace and keeping the problem alive - The 8 reasons we stay silent — and the truth that breaks each one - Why temporary discomfort is the price of preventing permanent damage - A direct word for the people who've been punished for telling the truth CHAPTERS ▶ Subscribe for new messages every week: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRzMQFmplNd4-H1X5bj1jA?sub_confirmation=1 🎧 Listen to APOC Ministry on the go: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7MSRcKb31rzblPxPpvM5WF ──────────────── ABOUT ERIC THOMAS — ET THE HIP HOP PREACHER Eric Thomas, PhD, is a world-renowned speaker, author, educator, and pastor known globally as ET The Hip Hop Preacher.

  • Why Your Prayers Don't Have Your Name on Them

    Why Your Prayers Don't Have Your Name on Them
    May 3 2026
    You've been asking God for something. Maybe for years. Maybe you gave up asking because nothing changed. But what if the problem isn't that God isn't listening? What if the problem is that your prayers don't have your name on them? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric Thomas breaks down the real reason why so many prayers go unanswered, and it has nothing to do with God's ability or your worthiness. It has everything to do with responsibility. Using the story of Jabez, the electric bill principle, and raw personal testimony, ET reveals the missing ingredient between asking and receiving: you have to be willing to pay for what you pray for. God isn't holding back your blessing because you're not good enough. He's waiting to see if you're willing to be responsible enough. In this message you'll discover: → Why power is available but not automatic, and what activates it → The four things Jabez asked for, and why God granted every single one → Why your prayers don't have your name on them, and what that really means → The electric bill principle: if it's not in your name, you can't call and make changes → How to stop waiting for a reward you're not willing to be responsible for → Why some of the most gifted people never walk in their anointing → The difference between getting paid and being loyal → What it really means that "God so loved the world that He gave" → Why you have to die before you can live in the next level → How being responsible in three areas, yourself, your family, and your community, unlocks everything God has for you 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES: 1 Chronicles 4:9–10 — Jabez cried out to the Lord John 3:16 — For God so loved the world that He gave Acts 8:20 — Your money perish with you because you thought the gift of God could be purchased with money Matthew 6:33 — Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness Romans 12:1 — Present your bodies as a living sacrifice CHAPTERS: Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Power 00:00:41 The Setup: Something Needs to Change 00:02:58 Own It: The Version of You Right Now Is What's Killing You 00:09:20 The Prayer of Jabez: Four Things He Asked For 00:13:08 Ask and It Shall Be Given: Don't Be Timid With God 00:14:29 The College Story: Pride Keeps You From Asking 00:21:38 Your Money Perishes With You: The Wrong Currency 00:34:17 Part Two: The Real Price for Power - Responsibility 00:34:46 The Electric Bill Principle: Whose Name Is On It? 00:38:23 The China Story: My Son Had to Pay For It 00:39:32 Joseph Had to Leave: You've Got to Pay the Price 00:41:38 The Hospital Testimony: Learning Responsibility With Dallas 00:43:24 First to the House of Israel: Three Levels of Blessing 01:03:58 The Depth Comes From Being There: Not From the Stage 00:50:35 For God So Loved the World That He Gave: Jesus Had to Pay 01:09:25 The Altar Call: Three Types of Irresponsibility 01:14:59 The Prayer for Dallas: When You're Responsible, You Intercede 01:22:27 Closing: Your Prayers Now Have Your Name On Them 🔥 IF THIS HIT YOU Share it with someone who's been praying but not seeing results.

  • You're Not Trying To Heal. You're Rehearsing The Pain

    You're Not Trying To Heal. You're Rehearsing The Pain
    Apr 26 2026
    You think you're healing. But you're not. You're rehearsing the pain. You're replaying the memory. You're decorating the prison cell like it's home. In this message, Pastor TJ Tyus delivers one of the most convicting sermons you'll hear this year, a word about the memories that are holding you back from the destiny God already wrote for you. Using the story of Abraham, the power of an egg, and a raw testimony about his daughter Aries, Pastor TJ breaks down why most people never reach what God has for them — not because they're stuck, but because they keep going back. You're not trying to heal. You're trying to hold on. And what you're holding onto is exactly what's keeping you from breaking through. In this message you'll discover: → Why your pain isn't the problem — your rehearsal of it is → The difference between leaving and going (and why most people only do one) → How memories break you from the outside, but destiny breaks you from the inside → Why God speaks to your destiny while you're still speaking to your history → The adoption principle: your past doesn't matter when God says you're His → A simple 3-step strategy to break the memory loop and start walking in purpose → Why some people had to leave your life — not because they're bad, but because you're in a different season 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES: Romans 4:17 — God calls those things which do not exist as though they did Ephesians 1:4-6 — He chose us before the creation of the world Isaiah 43:18-19 — Forget the former things; see, I am doing a new thing Galatians 6:9 — In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart CHAPTERS: Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Power 00:00:40 The Right People in the Right Room: Seeking Power 00:01:53 The Basement Story: When God Took Everything 00:03:33 Looking in the Wrong Places: The Provider vs The Provision 00:05:31 Your Power Is In You, Not Around You 00:08:18 The Rope Demonstration: Memories Holding You Back 00:14:30 The Egg Principle: Potential vs Current Reality 00:15:35 Breaking From the Inside vs Breaking From the Outside 00:18:15 Preacher: The Nickname That Foreshadowed Destiny 00:19:29 The Speech Impediment Story: Receiving Correction Without Breaking 00:22:22 Speak to What's Inside, Not What's in Front 00:23:28 Romans 4:17 - Calling Things That Do Not Exist 00:26:26 Genesis 17 - Abraham Laughed at God's Promise 00:28:53 Are You Living Based on Destiny or Memories? 00:31:02 Ephesians 1:4-6 - Chosen Before Creation 00:34:00 The Aries Story: Fighting Memories to See Destiny 00:36:45 Adoption According to the Word: You Are His Now 00:38:07 Jeremiah 29:11 - Plans for a Future, Not a Past 00:38:34 The New House Story: Going Home Before Going Home 00:40:15 Don't Decorate Your Prison Cell 00:41:12 We Want His Plans Without Full Participation 00:42:06 You Keep Regressing Because You Keep Reliving 00:42:33 Isaiah 43:18-19 - Forget the Former Things 00:43:54 Do You Perceive It?
