Prosperity Is Biblical

Season 1, Ep. 150

Money is one of the most controversial topics in the Church—and one of the most talked-about topics in Scripture. In this passionate and unscripted episode, Ed challenges common religious mindsets surrounding wealth, prosperity, and the role believers should play in the marketplace.

Drawing from biblical principles, he explores why Jesus spoke so frequently about money, the true meaning of serving God versus serving mammon, and how financial influence can be used to advance the Kingdom of God. This conversation goes beyond dollars and cents, diving into what biblical prosperity really looks like: strong families, healthy relationships, purpose, stewardship, impact, and generational blessing.

If you've ever wrestled with questions like:

• Does God want Christians to be wealthy?

• Is prosperity biblical?

• What does it mean to trust God instead of money?

• How can believers influence the marketplace and culture?

Then this episode will challenge you to rethink what you've been taught and encourage you to step into the purpose God has for your life.

This isn't a message about chasing riches—it's a message about breaking poverty mindsets, embracing stewardship, and becoming an influence for the Kingdom in a world that desperately needs truth.

Watch now and discover how faith, purpose, and prosperity intersect in God's design for His people.

    In Part 2 of Fallen Angels and Demons, Ed Fernandez takes a deeper look into one of the most debated questions surrounding spiritual warfare: Where do demons actually come from?Building on Part 1, Ed examines the distinction between Satan’s original rebellion and the later rebellion of the Watchers described in Genesis 6. Using Scripture alongside historical texts referenced within the Bible, including the Books of Enoch and Jasher, he explores the Nephilim, the purpose of the flood, the imprisonment of the Watchers, and the theory that demons are not fallen angels—but the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim.Ed also shares a deeply personal experience from his Ibogaine treatment in Mexico, where he says God revealed the spiritual forces connected to his struggle with lust.

    19:13||Season 1, Ep. 154
    In Part 2 of the Blood and Money series, Ed Fernandez dives deeper into one of the Bible's most misunderstood subjects: money. Is wealth inherently evil, or is there a deeper spiritual reality behind it?

  • 151. The Lies That Keep You Small

    20:55||Season 1, Ep. 151
    In this episode, Ed explores one of the most overlooked moments in Scripture—the spies who saw themselves as "grasshoppers" in the presence of giants. Their greatest enemy wasn't the giants standing before them; it was the fear and false identity growing within them.Building on the biblical themes of Genesis 6 and Numbers 13, Ed examines how intimidation, trauma, and generational patterns can shape the way we see ourselves, keeping us from walking into God's promises. He explains how strongholds are formed through lies, why the enemy targets our identity, and how spiritual warfare begins in the mind long before it manifests in our circumstances.You'll also hear practical biblical teaching on overcoming inherited thought patterns, breaking agreement with fear, standing on the finished work of Christ, and using God's Word to tear down strongholds. If you've ever felt unqualified, trapped by your past, or intimidated by the size of the obstacles in front of you, this conversation is a reminder that God has not called you to live like a grasshopper. He has called you to possess the land He has promised.Your past does not determine your future. Your trauma does not define your identity. The battle begins with believing who God says you are.
