APOC Ministry

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 wayThis 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 29:11What 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 peaceRest 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."

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 familyWhy this season at APOC is a factory reset: reset, rest, refresh, restore This isn’t about laziness. It’s about alignment.

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.Key Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 2–3, Philippians 4:6–7📱 Download the APOC AppStay connected, watch live services, submit prayer requests, and grow daily.iOS & Android: https://apocministry.org/app🙏 Support the MinistryYour generosity helps us serve families, support our cities, and spread the Gospel worldwide.Give here: https://apocministry.org/give🎧 Listen to the APOC PodcastWeekly messages that challenge, strengthen, and shift your mindset.Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apoc-ministry/id1448489948Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7J5A0oPJJxXJrLxnJ3V3fD▶️ Subscribe to APOC on YouTubeDon’t miss weekly sermons, short clips, and powerful teaching.https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1

Outnumbered at work, in life, or in your head? This message breaks down a counterintuitive playbook from Gideon: God reduced the team from 32,000 to 300 so the win couldn’t be credited to human strength. Translation: purity over popularity, alignment over volume, covenant over control.You’ll learn:Why you can’t defeat what you secretly worshipHow God “thins” your circle to protect your destinyThe 1% principle: purity beats numbers in the KingdomA practical path to marital & life peace: standards, prayer, orderKey Scriptures: Judges 7; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 23; Romans 8:1; Job 13:15Takeaway: Stop demanding a 32,000-man solution. Align with God’s way—and watch 300 be more than enough.—📲 APOC App: Search “APOC Ministry” in your app store🎧 Podcast: APOC Ministry🙏 Partner with APOC: Give as an act of covenant, not compulsion - www.apocministry.org
