FOR THE KINGDOM WOMAN WHO’S BEEN BUILDING AND BUILDING AND STILL CAN’T GET A PULSE ON THIS THING…

You’ve done the work. 

You’ve prayed over it. You’ve taken the courses, rebuilt the page, rewritten the offer. 

And it is still not living. 

So let me give you the number one reason you can be busy, busy, busy and still not see this thing launch to impact and income. You ready for this? 

You’re not speaking life to it. 📣 

That’s it. That’s the whole diagnosis.

Years ago I was listening to a message by Bishop T.D. Jakes called Speak To It, and it wrecked me in the best way. The power of speaking the word of God over a thing, a circumstance, a business, a body, a child, and watching it come into alignment. 

I’ve built my life on it since. So let’s get into why it works.

Let’s Deal With the Witchcraft Thing 

I know what some of you did just now. You went one of two places. 

Either oh, she’s gone witchy on us or oh, she’s one of those name-it-and-claim-it prosperity girls. Let’s take them one at a time, because both of them will keep you broke.

On the first one. Yes, witchcraft has a practice that looks like this. In the movies it’s the “fun” version — Harry Potter, the brooms in Fantasia, an inanimate object suddenly animated.

Go look up what practitioners say actually happens, though, and it’s this: speaking focused intention over an object or a person and infusing that thing with spirit. 

Now read Romans 8:11 and tell me what that sounds like. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and gives life to your mortal body. 

They didn’t invent that, Sis. They copied it. 

Everything witchcraft does, everything the occult does, everything the New Age does is a perversion of something God does first. Same hardware. Wrong source.

So when you see them doing something that resembles what you’re built to do, that should not frighten you off. They’re the knockoff. You’re the original. 

And honestly, the enemy has done a masterful job here. He convinced the church that if we do it, we must be like them. No. They have been trying to be like us this whole time.

On the second reaction, the word-of-faith one. Call me that all day. Every believer should be, because that is how things get from heaven into the earth, and how things come alive in the Kingdom.

Silence Is Not the Safe Choice

Here’s where women push back on me. Erica, fine, but I’m not speaking anything negative. I’m just not saying anything at all. So I’m good, right? 

No, friend. Void is the worst option on the table. 

Jesus taught this plainly in Matthew 12. A spirit goes out of a house, and the house gets swept clean and put in order. Empty. And because it’s empty, that spirit comes back with seven worse than itself, and the end of that house is worse than the beginning.

Clean wasn’t enough. It had to be filled. So when you go quiet over your business, you haven’t chosen neutral. You’ve set out an empty room with the door open. 

I had this exact conversation with a woman I mentor. She’d emptied her mind on purpose and then assumed the next thing she heard must be God. That’s not discernment. That’s a strategy of the enemy, and he loves a vacancy.

Remember where the unclean spirits go when they’re cast out. The dry places. The waterless places. The empty places. 

Your silence over your business is a dry place. 

This Is Simply How God Creates 

Go back to the very beginning and watch the mechanics of it. The earth is formless and void. Chaos. And the Spirit of God is hovering over the deep while the Father speaks. 

And what does He speak? The Word. Which John tells us is Jesus Himself, who was with God and was God, and who later had flesh put on Him and was sent into the world. 

So look at the pattern:

The Father speaks the Word over the chaos while the Spirit hovers over it. And it creates. 

You are a daughter under the standard of that same Father. The same Spirit is hovering on the inside of you. And you have a mouth. That’s not me getting mystical with you. That’s the recorded method. 

So if somebody wants to come at me about manifestation, I’m sorry, it isn’t going to stick. My Bible says this is exactly how things manifest in the earth. 

What God does need is a partner willing to open her mouth. 

Ezekiel Didn’t Get Set Down Beside the Bones 

Now let’s go to Ezekiel 37, because this is where it gets practical. Notice the first thing that happens. The hand of the Lord came upon him, and he was carried out in the Spirit of the Lord.

Write that down, because it’s the qualifier for everything that follows. Not in the spirit of anything else. Not in the spirit of a substance, a card deck, a board, or whatever else is being marketed to women as access right now. 

The Spirit of the Lord. There’s no alternative, and there’s no shortcut. And how do you get the hand of the Lord on you? You wait for Him. You get that Moses posture that says if Your presence doesn’t go with us, we’re not going anywhere. 

I’m not building the business without You. I’m not starting the ministry without You. Then look at where God puts him. Not near a few scattered bones. In the middle of the valley. 

A valley is a low place. A depression. God set His prophet down in the middle of the evidence and then asked him a question. And the bones weren’t freshly dead. They were very dry. This is the Lazarus situation, where Martha says he’s been in there four days.

Dead dead. So before you tell me your thing is too far gone, understand that God specializes in dead dead. Jesus Himself was dead dead in that grave. 

It’s Going to Offend Your Mind 

Here’s the part I need you ready for. The thing God tells you to say over your business is going to offend your own mind. It will sound ridiculous coming out of your mouth.

That’s not evidence you heard wrong. That’s the trap, and the enemy is standing right at it. He is waiting to see whether the offense makes you back up and go looking for a different solution. Because if the word is too embarrassing to say, you won’t say it, and he never has to fight you for it.

So flip it on him. Let your obedience be the thing that’s offensive.

The Question Ezekiel Answered First 

God asks him: Son of man, can these bones live? And Ezekiel’s answer is the whole key. O Lord God, You know. 

Maybe you read that as weakness, like he’s ducking the question. It isn’t. That is submission. He’s a prophet. He could have run his mouth. Instead he refuses to speak one word until he knows what God sees and what God says. 

That is why I built the Four Questions Prayer Template, and it’s why question one is: God, what do You see and what do You say about this?

If you don’t know what God sees about your business, your ministry, your health, your finances, your child, then you are not ready to speak over it yet. Go ask Him first.

Then God gives Ezekiel the assignment. Prophesy to these bones. Say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. And he does. And there’s a rattling, and the bones come together, and sinew and flesh come up over them. 

But look closely, because this is the part we rush past. They stood there with no breath in them. Assembled. Still not alive. So God sends him back in a second time. Prophesy to the breath. Come from the four winds and breathe on these slain, that they may live.

He speaks again. And they live, and they stand on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Not just a survivor. An army. 

So Open Your Mouth  

Here’s what I want you to see about why that second round mattered. Ezekiel didn’t speak once and walk away. He stayed in it, kept asking what’s next, and spoke exactly what God told him at every stage. 

That’s the difference between animating something in your own strength and partnering with God. You’re not pushing your intention into it. You’re asking at every step and then saying what He says. 

And when we stay silent, it is as good as prophesying death. Because every situation in the earth is waiting for someone to speak purpose over it, and if you won’t, the enemy is more than willing to.

So right now, over your business and your ministry and your family, I bind and I break the words of the enemy off of you. I break the agreement you made with the data, the statistics, the four launches that didn’t convert, the expert who told you the market was saturated. 

That is not for you. You were deceived into believing it and deceived into repeating it. Speak life instead. Decide that nothing else comes out of your mouth over that thing.

Because here is where the dead things come back to living. 💃🏻
