PASTORING OUTSIDE THE PULPIT

PASTOR ERYK HOOD

My name is Eryk Hood, Pastor of Full Impact Ministries. My ministry is on social media, mainly Facebook live at [FULL Impact Ministries]. My YouTube channel is [Pastor Eryk Hood] where I have over 400 powerful messages about God’s true nature towards us. I had a church building on the Westside of Chicago fve years ago. Although it went ok, I never felt in my spirit that this was it. I honestly believe that the real power of God moves predominantly outside of the church walls. I believe that the religious stunts, gimmicks, and theatrical tactics that go on in most church settings give power to the kingdom of Satan and greatly decrease the true desire to pursue the true nature of God. Satan understands that in order to encounter a true intimate relationship with God, you have to approach God in the spirit realm and not in the feshly emotions of the heart. The scripture quotes it like this in Romans 8:8 AMP VERSION, 8. So then those who are living the life of the fesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. Most of the awesomeness of God’s glory that I have encountered and heard testimonies of others have come via outside the pulpit. I believe deep in my heart that this godly awesomeness comes through the true heartfelt conviction in the hearts of the people outside the church walls. The preaching and teaching outside of the pulpit are more intimate and more uncomfortable and riskier than the false security of the church pulpit where most of the members are indoctrinated with the religious compromising doctrine where they are taught that as long as they come to church and give their tithes and oferings to the church, everything is ok, because after all, God loves you anyway. Scripture quotes it like this in 2 Timothy 4:2-5 AMPLIFIED VERSION: 2. Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as a preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unfagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching. 3. For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold. 4. And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander of into myths and man-made fctions. 5. As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and sufer unfinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry. The pastoring inside the pulpit has for the most part been catering to the selfsh, greedy, needy,

helpless, weak, powerless, and sinful emotions of the people. And by the pastors no longer looking at the people’s souls but are now looking at their pocketbooks and bank accounts, the people now have the power through money to control what comes across the pulpit because the pastor is being controlled through their deep love for ungodly fnancial gain. Scripture quotes it like this in 1 Timothy 6:10 AMPLIFIED VERSION: 10. For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs. As a result of this satanic adjustment, Satan has full reign in the pastor’s soul to manipulate the scriptures to keep the people from ever getting free from his [Satan’s] demonic traps. But on the fip side of that coin is pastoring outside of the pulpit brings about angelical covering to whereas no type of bribe can penetrate the soul of the one whose soul is surrendered to bringing glory to the Father.

You see people, God and Satan both use the same weaponry to advance their kingdoms, [THE PULPIT AND THE WORD OF GOD]. God uses the pulpit and the Word of God to reveal His goodness to the people by bringing strong powerful conviction to our hearts through anointed teaching and preaching of knowing that He forgave us even while we were not even thinking about Him at all. While Satan uses the pulpit and the Word of God to pervert the true intentions of God. The word pervert means to go the opposite direction of its original intentions, so Satan has fipped the structure of the church into advancing his kingdom by having ungodly tactics to be performed inside the church walls that will keep people from entering God’s true nature towards them. The true nature of God is not received in church buildings because for the most part, it’s where Satan has planted his domain. But the power of God and His true nature toward people is strongly revealed through the preaching and teaching outside of the pulpit. People fake being healed and delivered in church buildings because it is Satan’s tool to keep the people in generational deception and generational bondage. Until those Satanic stunts are out of the church building, the people will always struggle in every area of their lives.

Scripture describes it like this in Matthew 21:12-14, 12. And went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. 13. And said unto them, [It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves]. 14. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. So now we can scripturally see why many people in the body of Christ are blind in seeing God’s true nature toward them which leads them into trying to earn His love toward them, which puts them in a works mentality, which blocks them from walking in God’s grace. And we can scripturally

see why many people in the body of Christ are lame in their walk as far as their Christian lifestyle of power, authority and victory, and as a result, this is why many Christians are saved, broke, struggling, sick, and stuck.

Pastoring outside of the pulpit is the real foundation of faith toward God and it is the real fruit of intimacy toward people to whereas the power to open blind eyes from ignorance and the power to teach the Gospel truth to straighten their lame walk is in abundance. I have learned that, if God can get it through you, He will most defnitely get it to you. God’s heart is all about people and their souls and when He encounters people whose hearts are of the same like spirits, there is a real powerhouse team that is manifested to bring Him all the glory. Pastoring outside of the pulpit is where truth confronts truth because those are not members who are sucking up to the pastor for brownie points, nor will they be deceived into giving the pastor their hard-earned money. Pastoring outside of the pulpit is where the pastor really must trust God with everything because he is really going out as a lamb among wolves. I believe that there is an anointing outside of the pulpit that only manifests when the heart of that person is really sold out and truly surrendered to the calling that God has ordained for them, not what man has ordained for them. The repetitive church theatrics are Satan’s greatest tools that he uses to keep the church people in bondage and not only deception but self-deception as well. I honestly believe that God is using these times that we are in, to birth the real ministry of His Kingdom. He is revealing through real intimate teaching and preaching, that the way church was done before the pandemic was not His nature at all, and He is beginning to show His true nature toward people in this pandemic of how awesome and vital His love and guidance is. God loves us with an everlasting love, and He does not want us to be ignorant of who He is. God has a powerful desire to be with us, and He longs for us to come into relationship with Him. He wants to enjoy our lives with us, and He wants us to receive Him not just as God, but mainly as our Father. This powerful intimate revelation of Him being our Father is now being powerfully manifested in the anointed teaching and preaching of [PASTORING OUTSIDE OF THE PULPIT]. Yours Truly, Pastor Eryk Hood
