She Can See the Gifts God Placed in You. They Appear As Color. - #178 Erica Laney
What if the reason you haven't experienced more of God has nothing to do with how hard you're praying β and everything to do with what you're asking for? π Watch more encounters like Erica's in our Encounters With God playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr3TlK5Y_OV4jmZi57UX9skvdVb68Hl3- Erica Laney is a wife, mother of five, and a woman operating in a level of prophetic gifting that is rare and specific. She sees spiritual gifts in people through color. She receives visions that have proven out in real life. And she traces every bit of it back to one moment when she stopped bringing God her problems and asked Him what she could do for Him instead. In this conversation Erica shares how that single shift in posture unlocked prophetic gifts she never sought, how fasting became the most direct line she has found to hearing God clearly, why she believes the enemy is actively working to keep the church from real fasting, and what it looks like to cultivate spiritual gifts once they arrive. She also did something in this very conversation that neither of us expected. In this conversation, Erica shares: β¨ What she sees when she looks at people in the Spirit β and what each color means β¨ How she witnessed a vision of demonic beings planning specific assignments against her family β¨ Why she believes most Christians are fasting wrong β and why that's not an accident β¨ How a 21-day fast and a 48-hour water fast led to the birth of a son she saw coming years before he arrived β¨ What it means to ask God what you can do for Him β and why it changes everything π Subscribe for new episodes every week π© Share your story: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact π Support this ministry: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give If you and a few people in your life are hungry for more of God, this episode was made to be discussed.
