In this powerful episode, Ed Fernandez explores one of the most overlooked yet foundational truths of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ as the Firstborn from the dead.

Consecration

What does it really mean to be consecrated? In this powerful episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we dive deep into the process of becoming fully set apart for God — not just in words, but in mind, body, spirit, habits, and daily living. Through Romans 12:1, 1 Corinthians 6, Psalms 24, and other foundational scriptures, we unpack the five levels of consecration and how each stage closes doors to the enemy while drawing you closer to God’s power and purpose.  This conversation confronts the hidden battles many believers face: stinking thinking, victim mentalities, distractions, lust, bitterness, unforgiveness, spiritual stagnation, and the constant attacks of the enemy designed to keep us trapped in false identities. We discuss how consecration is not about perfection or religious performance, but about allowing the Holy Spirit to purify every area of our lives so we can walk in true authority, dominion, and intimacy with God.  If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck spiritually, why certain cycles keep repeating, or why advancement with God feels distant, this episode will challenge and encourage you to keep climbing higher. God created you for a purpose, and the enemy’s goal is to keep you from realizing who you truly are. But through surrender, discipline, and obedience, the attacks lose their grip, your confidence in Christ grows, and you begin stepping into the calling God designed specifically for your life.  Don’t quit in the middle of the process. The fire of consecration may be uncomfortable, but it produces clarity, boldness, freedom, spiritual sensitivity, and deeper trust with God. This episode is a reminder that you are not a mistake — you are a son or daughter of the King, called to make an impact on earth right now. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Wounds We Hide

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed opens up about the scars we all carry — the visible wounds, the hidden pain, and the life experiences we often try to bury out of fear, shame, or pride.

This episode is for anyone carrying pain they’ve hidden for years. Whether you’re battling fear, rejection, disappointment, grief, trauma, or the pressure of providing for your family, this conversation will remind you that your scars are not proof God abandoned you — they may be the very testimony that helps set someone else free. Sometimes the breakthrough comes when we stop hiding the wounds and allow God to use them. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Trespasses

In this deeply personal and convicting episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed Fernandez opens up about a difficult situation involving betrayal, broken trust, and the painful challenge of forgiveness. Through raw honesty and biblical insight, Ed explores why forgiveness is not just a suggestion from God — but a requirement for anyone who truly wants to walk in the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing from Matthew 6, Romans 12, and the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, this episode unpacks the spiritual consequences of harboring unforgiveness and how bitterness can quietly block growth, healing, purpose, and intimacy with God. Ed dives into the meaning of “trespasses” from the original Greek, explaining how violations against divine boundaries affect both relationships and the condition of the heart. He also discusses the tension between forgiveness and trust, the importance of healthy boundaries, and why true forgiveness means wiping out the debt completely instead of keeping score in the rearview mirror. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that forgiveness is part of the DNA of every citizen in God’s Kingdom. Whether you’ve been deeply hurt, betrayed, abandoned, or disappointed, this conversation challenges listeners to confront unforgiveness head-on and allow God to renew the mind and heal the heart. If you feel stuck spiritually, emotionally, or mentally, this message may reveal the very thing that’s been holding you back from your next season.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Prosperity is not Luck, it's your Birthright! Pt. 2 With Ruth Fernandez

In this powerful and deeply revealing episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed sits down with a very special guest — his wife, — for a conversation that challenges traditional thinking about faith, wealth, purpose, dominion, and the Kingdom of God. Drawing from her books Prosperity Is Not Luck, It’s Your Birthright and Kingdom Wealth Is Not Luck, It’s Your Birthright, Ruth breaks down the spiritual principles behind sowing and reaping, kingdom economics, stewardship, identity, and the responsibility believers carry to impact the world around them. This episode dives into why Jesus consistently preached the Kingdom of Heaven, what it truly means to “seek first the kingdom,” and how many believers unknowingly live beneath the authority and dominion God originally intended for them. Ed and Ruth unpack controversial but eye-opening topics including tithing, offerings, money as a spiritual force, the oppression surrounding finances in the church, and why many Christians struggle economically despite serving a good King. Ruth explains how fear, convenience, and lack of kingdom understanding have weakened the Church’s influence, while other communities intentionally circulate wealth within their own people groups. The conversation also explores identity, purpose, and the uniqueness of every individual created in God’s image. Ruth passionately explains why no person is a “carbon copy,” why generational curses and blessings are tied to obedience, and why every believer has a specific assignment on earth that nobody else can fulfill. Together, they discuss dominion, spiritual warfare, the loss of authority through Adam, and the restoration of that authority through Jesus Christ. Toward the end of the episode, the conversation shifts into something deeply personal and urgent: the invisible war affecting military veterans and active-duty operators struggling with PTSD, identity loss, depression, and suicide. Ruth shares the mission behind the proceeds of her books — helping fund support systems, recovery resources, retreats, and purpose-driven restoration programs for veterans transitioning back into civilian life. This episode is a wake-up call to believers who have settled for survival instead of influence, and an invitation to rediscover what it truly means to live as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, wealth, identity, spiritual authority, or how faith should impact everyday life, this conversation will challenge and inspire you in a profound way. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
