#24 Creator of Hank the Cowdog – John Erickson

on 2025-02-24

Summary

I’m John Erickson, and my life’s journey is a testimony of God’s guiding hand. Growing up in a small Texas ranch community, I was surrounded by the rich tradition of storytelling and a deep Christian worldview instilled in me by my mother. Despite challenges in the literary world and even a stint at Harvard Divinity School, I discovered that God had a unique plan for my creativity. My path led me from working as a cowboy to self‐publishing the Hank the Cowdog series—a series that not only became a beloved children’s classic (selling over 10 million copies) but also reflected the values and humor derived from my faith. In sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to pursue their creative callings while remaining true to the Kingdom of God.

We Are Entering a Season of Suddenlies [Prophetic Word]

Sid Roth's It's Supernatural!

on 2025-01-18

Summary

I used to mock God’s power until a life-changing encounter at 18 transformed me. In a cabin in Montana, I experienced God’s overwhelming love and acceptance which ended my search for fulfillment. This encounter ignited a passion to restore what was lost in God’s word and to operate in supernatural authority. As I share this prophetic word, I call believers to awaken to their God-given power, shift atmospheres, and actively step into the realms of power available to us through faith, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

The power of God unto salvation starts at home.

Robert Hotchkin reminds us that the Gospel of the Kingdom is a gospel of power — something the world desperately needs. Straight out of Scripture, Robert demonstrates that God’s plan has always been to bring Heaven to Earth. You are part of that plan starting in your own home.

Robert’s new book, Realms of Power, is your wakeup call. It describes what you are authorized to do as a believer. Robert says that you are God’s point of contact with fallen humanity. That means your hands are His hands, and in “Jesus crucified” they hold the power to…

🔥 Shift atmospheres
🔥 Activate faith
🔥 Initiate decrees
🔥 Call down favor/release wealth
🔥 Establish daily forgiveness as a lifestyle…

…as Holy Spirit leads. And as you grow, also…

🔥 Renew unity
🔥 Call in the spirit of repentance
🔥 Work miracles
🔥 Activate tongues
🔥 Renew righteousness
🔥 Open gates of thanksgiving

Faith without works is dead, dead, dead! No power!
Robert points out God’s power is more about His compassion (goodness) than religious works. He urges you to remember your First Love in simple, spontaneous ways, whether it’s for family salvation or outside your own four walls. That is representing God’s power. Robert’s 3-CD/audio series, How to Access the Realms of Power, includes:

🔥 What is the substance of Faith?
🔥 Wake up to who you are!
🔥 You have everything you need – use it!

God is gracious beyond anything you can imagine. Robert’s keys help you say ‘yes’ from your heart and learn to move in power.

Sid Roth's It's Supernatural!

on 2025-01-18

Summary

I heard God’s voice at 18, a moment that transformed my life. I accepted Jesus, reclaimed my spiritual authority, and learned to take command over demonic influences. Through my journey, I experienced God’s intervention, which changed my path and equipped me to guide others in taking back their authority over the enemy through faith, prayer, and prophecy. This testimony encourages believers to trust in Jesus, embrace their spiritual gifts, and stand firm against the devil’s attacks.

NYT Bestselling Author Points Fans to Another Best Seller

cbn 700 CLUB

on 2023-12-06

Summary

I can remember just praying, ‘Oh, Lord, let me publish one book, just one book.’ For nearly 50 years, my dream was to become a bestselling author despite struggling with dyslexia and facing rejection. Through God’s grace and the gift He gave me, I overcame my learning disabilities and found my purpose in storytelling, inspired by Jesus who taught through stories. My faith guided me through the challenges of raising a family, battling dyslexia, and persevering until my first book was published. Today, with over 150 books and numerous accolades, I hope my stories inspire others to turn to Jesus and find hope, love, and purpose in their lives.
