“God is calling for a deep clean before the next level. Exodus 19:10 reminds us that preparation always comes before manifestation. Come expecting. Come ready. Bring someone who needs an upgrade. 🙏🏽🔥”

A new year doesn’t automatically mean a new life. A lot of people are free… but still stuck — carrying last year’s habits, mindsets, and residue into a brand-new season. This clip comes from a recent sermon and breaks down why freedom alone isn’t enough — and what actually creates real, lasting change as you step into a new year.

This year won’t change just because the calendar did. If nothing shifts internally, this season will look exactly like the last one, same stress, same patterns, same outcomes. Not because you’re cursed… but because you’re carrying what was never cleaned. In this message, Eric breaks down why a new year isn’t automatic and why preparation, not intention, determines whether this season becomes your best or your hardest. Drawing from Exodus 19, he unpacks the idea of washing your own clothes—identifying the internal contamination, habits, and responses that quietly sabotage progress. This isn’t about starting over. It’s about stopping the transfer of last year’s weight into this season. If you’re ready for real change, not just motivation, this message is for you. Key themes: • Why “another year” and a “new year” are not the same • How unresolved habits contaminate finances, relationships, and peace • What it actually means to reset before you rebuild • Why some cycles require more than a quick fix 👉 Watch the full message.

You don’t have burnout. Burnout is the symptom — not the root. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly “needed,” this message challenges the story you’ve been telling yourself. The real issue isn’t laziness, weakness, or even stress. It’s distraction, misplaced responsibility, and carrying burdens God never assigned you. In this message, we unpack: - Why busyness often disguises itself as faithfulness - How inheriting other people’s anxiety steals your rest - Why Jesus repeatedly withdrew — even when people needed Him - The biblical rhythm for real rest that restores focus and alignment If you’ve been running on empty, this isn’t a message about doing less — it’s about doing what actually matters. 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Today 00:00:42 This Is the Day: Rejoicing in God's Reset 00:01:01 What Are You Thankful For? 00:01:39 Whatever You're Looking For, You'll Find 00:02:10 You're Too Distracted to Be Thankful 00:04:04 Luke 10: Martha and Mary - Two Approaches 00:04:37 Martha Martha: The Distraction Problem 00:05:02 Your Life Is Full of Distractions 00:06:14 Confusing Busyness with Faithfulness 00:07:13 Inheriting Other People's Anxiety 00:09:21 Rest Means Rightfully Ordered Focus 00:09:48 Patterns Determine Purpose Alignment 00:12:06 Addicted to Distraction and Being Needed 00:13:40 Luke 5:16 - Jesus Often Withdrew 00:15:03 Mark 1:35 - Everyone Is Looking for You 00:16:08 Submit to God, Not People's Expectations 00:17:22 Mark 6:30-32 - Come and Get Some Rest 00:18:46 The R.E.S.T.

Stress isn’t the cause of burnout — it’s the warning sign. What part of your life feels out of alignment right now? In this message, Eric Thomas challenges one of the most common assumptions about burnout and exhaustion—and reveals what’s actually draining you. Using the story of Mary and Martha, this message exposes how busyness, overwork, and misplaced priorities quietly rob us of peace, clarity, and spiritual alignment. Stress isn’t the root problem—it’s the signal that something deeper is off. If you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or empty, this message is for you. This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time. 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Today 00:00:39 This Is the Day: Rejoicing in God's Reset 00:01:23 Rest Is a Real Strategy 00:02:33 Genesis 1: God's System of Rest 00:03:34 God Rested to Show Us Rest Is Strategy 00:05:24 Practicing Rest in God's Presence 00:07:39 Luke 10: Martha and Mary - Two Approaches 00:10:24 Martha Martha: The Reset Moment 00:13:08 Philippians 1:10 - Discerning What Is Best 00:14:23 When Work Becomes a Distraction 00:15:54 Three Relationships Disrupted by Busyness 00:16:02 Be Anxious for Nothing: God's Promise 00:18:24 Misery Loves Company: Don't Drag Others In 00:19:51 Too Busy Serving to Listen to Jesus 00:20:24 The December Reset: Intimacy Over Activity 00:21:39 Closing Prayer: Peace with Rest 00:23:12 Next Steps: Stay Connected Subscribe for weekly messages that challenge how you think, work, and live: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 *Listen to the full podcast for deeper conversations:* 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 *Follow APOC Ministry on Instagram:* 📲 https://www.instagram.com/apocministry_/

If you feel stretched too thin, it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because you’re carrying weight God never told you to carry alone. In this message, we unpack why overworking isn’t faithfulness, why burnout is often a warning, and how God’s strategy for rest includes delegation, clarity, and shared responsibility. Using Matthew 11 and Exodus 18, this sermon exposes a hard truth: Overworking can be disobedience disguised as responsibility. If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or trying to do everything by yourself—this is your reset. Key themes in this message: - Why rest is a real strategy, not laziness - “Make your load lighter” (God’s leadership principle) - Delegation without guilt - Why capable people matter - How clarity eliminates confusion 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Exodus 18:17–23 📌 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like this video if it encouraged you 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for weekly messages - 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 📤 Share this message with someone who needs it 🎧 Listen to the podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts (Search: "APOC Ministry") 📱 Follow us on social media: Instagram: @apocministry_ YouTube: APOC Ministry 🌐 Learn more about APOC Ministry: Visit our website www.apoministry.org and get connected to upcoming services, events, and resources. 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Today 00:00:39 This Is the Day: Rejoicing in God's Reset 00:01:10 Putting God Back in His Rightful Place 00:02:29 Rest Is a Real Strategy 00:03:09 Matthew 11:28-30: Come to Me and Find Rest 00:06:30 Defining Rest: The Intentional Act 00:07:22 Exodus 18: Moses and the Burden of Leadership 00:07:44 What You're Doing Is Not Good 00:08:55 Select Capable People: The Power of Delegation 00:09:20 Make the Load Lighter: Sharing Responsibility 00:14:05 Overworking Is Disobedience Disguised as Responsibility 00:17:31 Releasing Pride, Not Power 00:18:55 How to Delegate: Train Once, Step Back, Let Grow 00:20:54 If You Do This: The Promise of Standing Strong 00:21:47 The Image of Rest: Coming to Christ 00:23:27 Closing Prayer and Next Steps

What if the thing blocking your breakthrough isn't more hustle… but a lack of rest? In this powerful message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks why God is pulling the emergency brake on your life—not to punish you, but to *protect you from a breakdown.* Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30 and Luke 5:16, ET reveals that rest isn't optional—it's a spiritual strategy modeled by Jesus Himself. You'll discover: - Why rest is the intentional act of stopping work, noise, and pressure so your body can recover, your mind can reset, and your spirit can reconnect with God - How Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray—and what that rhythm means for your schedule, relationships, and purpose - The difference between resting from people vs. resting with God—and why December is your reset season - Why 98% of major food chains stay open 24/7, but the one that rests (Chick-fil-A) is the one everybody respects - How to pause, pray, read, and reset before life resets you the hard way This isn't about doing nothing. It's about discipline over distraction. It's about pulling away so you don't fall apart. Before God uses you greatly, He wants to restore you deeply. Key Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Luke 5:16, Genesis 2, Philippians 4:6–7, Jeremiah 29:11 What to do this December: • Pause – Turn down the noise so you can hear from God • Pray – Talk to God more than you talk to humans • Read – One verse, one Psalm, one Proverb daily • Reset – Drink water, get sleep, clean your space, protect your peace Rest is not quitting. It's recharging. It's not lazy—it's obedience. 📲 Download the APOC App: Open your app store and search "APOC Ministry." Tap Connect and drop your name and best contact. 🙏 Need Prayer?

What if the thing blocking your next level isn’t a lack of grind… but a lack of rest? In this message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks God’s strategy for a factory reset — not to punish you, but to restore you deeply so He can use you greatly. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:11 and Jesus’ own rhythm of withdrawing to rest, ET shows why heaven is calling you to stop worshiping hustle and start honoring rest as a spiritual strategy. You’ll hear: - Why God told ET to separate accounts and start preparing at the end of the year for the next year - How a strategy coach put him on “idea punishment” and unlocked a new level of impact - Why Matthew 11:28–30 reveals rest as a pillar of success, not a reward after success - How Jesus often withdrew (Luke 5:16) and what that means for your schedule, your ministry, and your family Why this season at APOC is a factory reset: reset, rest, refresh, restore This isn’t about laziness. It’s about alignment. Before God uses you greatly, He restores you deeply.

In this powerful youth-focused message, Pastor TJ Tyus teaches why you have to *stop clocking _their_ tea and start clocking YOUR tea:* * T = *Thoughts* – the collision of voices in your head * E = *Emotions* – real, but not your boss * A = *Actions* – the habits that create your life Using the stories of *Cain & Abel,* *Adam & Eve,* and real-life testimonies of grief, anger, and missed opportunities, Pastor TJ shows how: * Life doesn’t put things in you, it *reveals what’s already inside* * Two kids in the same house can pick *two completely different futures* based on the voice they follow * You don’t have to repeat your parents’ pain – you can *rewrite the pattern* and break generational curses If you’ve struggled with anger, low self-worth, or just “going with the crowd,” this message will challenge you to: * *Clock your thoughts* – “As a man thinketh…” * *Clock your emotions* – Feel them, but don’t let them drive * *Clock your actions* – Excellence eliminates options *CHAPTERS:* 00:00 - You Are Amazing 03:29 - You Are Created On Purpose 07:47 - You Are Not A Mistake 14:31 - Life Reveals Your True Potential 16:40 - Crocking Your Tea 22:35 - Give Your Best Effort 26:34 - Breaking the Cycle of Negativity 28:10 - Choose Your Inner Voice 30:23 - Rule Your Emotions Effectively 33:10 - Clock Your Thoughts for Clarity 36:40 - Rewrite the Pattern of Your Life 39:38 - Pastor Mike’s Inspiring Prayer 43:43 - Next Steps for Personal Growth *STAY CONNECTED WITH APOC MINISTRY* *Subscribe* to the channel for more messages from Pastor TJ Tyus & Dr. Eric Thomas Search *“APOC Ministry”* in your app store to stay updated with services, events, and messages https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to the *APOC Ministry Podcast* on Apple Podcasts & Spotify https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 Partner with the ministry & help us Love, Grow, and Serve our communities This is the day the Lord has made.

Tonight’s message is simple: your life is being shaped by a conversation you don’t even realize you’re having. Not your actions. Not your habits. Your conversation. The enemy didn’t need a new lie in the Garden—he only needed uncertainty. And the truth is, many of us are losing battles God already gave us victory over… because we treat His standards like optional suggestions. And here’s the definitive statement— If you keep treating faith like a suggestion, you will keep living a life beneath your calling. Period. This session walks you through the shift from idea → opinion → belief → conviction… and exposes the echo in your head that’s shaping your reality without permission. If you’ve been living like Adam #1—silent, unsure, emotionally distorted—this teaching pulls you back into alignment with Adam #2: truth, purpose, and obedience. Tap in. Take notes. And if something resonates, don’t keep it to yourself. 📱 Download the APOC App from your app store - APOC ministry ❤️ Support the ministry: apoministry.org/give 🎧 APOC Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948 ▶️ Subscribe & Share

You’ve been praying for clarity… but the real battle isn’t around you — it’s inside your ears. Trauma has a way of becoming a soundtrack: a quiet, constant melody that tells you you’re not enough, you’re not loved, you’re not chosen. And if you don’t confront it, you’ll confuse the noise of your past with the voice of your Father. In this message, you’ll learn how to recognize the wrong soundtrack, silence the lies, and finally hear God’s voice with confidence, peace, and identity. God calls you royal. Trauma calls you broken. This message shows you how to choose the right voice.
