From My Heart to Yours

You've Come Further Than You Think

2026-05-09T17:10:27.126-07:00

Many times, Kings and Queens, we think we are "not where we should be." We think, "I am far behind," however, the truth is, God leads our path if we are led by His Spirit.

Psalms 37:23 KJV says this, "23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way."

Let us be reminded that this is the truth we should stand by when our minds tell us that we are not doing enough or even not feeling enough. We can allow the Lord to heal our perspective and view on life. We can pray to ask the Lord to restore our souls as David did in Psalms 23.

Psalms 23: 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake

This passage allows us to understand that no matter what we face in life, God is there. Not only that but HE can restore us. Our soul is comprised of our mind, will, and emotions. Those are the parts that get impacted the greatest as we grow and go through our lives journey. Our souls often go untended or under-tended if I can say it that way. This is why at times our core beliefs, or the way we see things in life is skewed. So, my prayer for us today, is that we allow the Lord to restore our soul. As we do that, we can have the mind renewal necessary, to see life the way our God sees it.

Prayer: Father, thank you for keeping us, covering us and allowing us to walk on our God paths daily. Thank you for keeping us aligned with You and Your vision for our lives. We ask you to help us see life the way that you do. Help us to stay on task. We thank you for everything you have done, currently doing, and will do for our lives. We say and pray these things, in Jesus Name, Amen.

There is ALWAYS something in your House.

2022-09-25T11:49:00.001-07:00

There is always something in your House, we must remember this, At times, we go through life thinking we don't have enough or fearful and afraid. However, I'd like to remind you that GOD is on the side of you, He can help you use what you have to not only get what you need BUT to have abundance.

Let's start with 2 Kings chapter 4 and verse 1. It speaks about "One of the wives of the sons of the prophets, husband passed away and she she left with some debt. See below for the full context:

4 "Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen."

Reading this first verse makes it clear that the wife of the sons of the prophets was uncomfortable. She was not only uncomfortable but afraid. At times we can get to that point, of not understanding why external circumstances happen-to what seems at no fault of our own. But I want you and I to pay attention to this, she was not alone with her issue- God's servant was there, Elisha. This can represent of course God being there because God works through people most of the time, as a representation of himself.

Let's go to the next part of the scripture:

2 "And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil."

God's servant asked the wife of the sons of the prophet, what would you like me to do ? He asked what do you ALREADY have accessible? See this point is HUGE. Due to times where things seem out of control and as if there is no way out, we don't see what is right in front of us. Even though "it" the jar of oil seemed of little value or so small it was still SOMETHING. That's key- even though we may think in our life that, ohhh we only have this little gift to sing or to draw-, it is still SOMETHING. We must understand that we always have something in our house. That's the beautiful part. We have to open our eyes to see them. True indeed, at times it takes another person to pull it out of us or to see that "thing," but it is there. Other people at times can reiterate the importance of what we have, what we already carry.

I want us to LOOK INSIDE! Look again at what you already have in you! What is in your house? Literally or figuratively. It's so easy to look on the outside or ignore what God has ready equipped us with at times but again I encourage us all to LOOK AGAIN. Look again to assess what God has given you, it is important as well as has value!

The ideas for inventions that God has given you is important, the intelligence or gift of wisdom to help other people solve problems is valuable, the precious Holy Spirit that we have on the inside of us, is important-very valuable, the business ideas God has given us matters, the hobbies that we absolutely used to love to do but stopped -it was helping to prepare us for one of our greatest breakthroughs! Look Again Kings and Queens, it's in your house!

The wife of the sons of prophets had what she needed for a miracle to be initiated, even though she only had ONE jar of oil- it was enough to spark abundance as she obeyed the voice of the prophet, Elisha to identify what she already had then to get more vessels-empty vessels.

Let's read the next part of this passage:

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

Listen to this Kings and Queens, the wife of the sons of the prophets already had OIL-which again was enough-she just had to get more containers to pour what she ALREADY had in her house! As she did that the oil kept going and going and going until she ran out of containers. God will with us, if we trust Him enough to follow his guidance.

Let's read the rest of the passage:

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

Kings and Queens, the oil didn't stop until the containers stopped. The oil started inside of the house and increased the house, it caused the wife of the sons of the prophets to start a business, per se, it caused her to become a seller or supplier of precious goods. What you currently have in your house can change the trajectory of your life for the better. You can wake up thinking or knowing you have a major need than go to bed after obeying God not only with your needs met BUT also meeting other people needs!

It is in the House! What do you have in your house Kings and Queens? Don't limit yourself, there is an abundant God on the inside of you! Go and SELL! You and your family can live from what's left, after you sell(start the business, do the invention,etc). Your debts can be paid using what's in your house- Follow God's voice and His direction to ACTIVATE what you already have. It's in your move! To have debt is a choice. The wife of the sons of the prophets choose to be debt free and have abundance left to live.

Take a moment to understand, What is in YOUR HOUSE?

Love you all,

Queen Eri Holmes-Harris

Your Moment

2020-11-04T22:55:00.001-08:00

Your moment of breakthrough to something greater is here. This is the time to have better and not settle. This is the time of greater peace, greater joy, greater love, greater prosperity, but will you tune into what God is saying to really tap into it? You cannot be moved or distracted by what you see, but understand that ultimately God is going to get the glory. Nothing can stop God's hand. Nothing can stop your purpose or the promise.

So keep your mind right and your heart stedfast on God's Word. The greater is happening.

God bless,

Erica

It's Happening

2020-09-22T16:43:00.002-07:00

What God has planned for your life, is happening. See beyond what you can see because there is a greater victory waiting for you! Make sure your thoughts are lining up to what you desire to see. Make sure your words are aligned to the Word of God and what you'd like to see manifested as well. Thoughts and words go hand in hand, they matter. If you don't like what you are speaking, change what's in your heart. If you don't like what's in your heart, change what you are thinking. It matters and can change your whole life. Being in agreement with God for your life with thought and word, then will get you to the manifestation you've been waiting on. God cannot fail. Trust Him and stay on your God path.

Restoration

2020-08-02T01:03:00.002-07:00

Greetings Kings & Queens,

There is so much more that God has in store for you. It comes with allowing Him to go deeper. It’s time to allow the deeper wounds to be healed. It’s time to allow God to cultivate the next best thing out of you. It happens with your permission of allowing Him to work in you. This can be a season of great restoration but it comes with letting go of the past. God will give you more than you asked for or had but you have trust Him. Let God do what He needs to this season to be able give you what He desires. Stay tuned into what God is saying. 🙏🏽🤍

LIVE Forward

2020-07-02T18:05:00.000-07:00

Live forward . The past is gone, stop living in it. Let go of what happened and be excited about what God is about to do. You can’t move forward properly by looking behind you. Give your mind a break and free it from stagnation to the past. This is an exciting time. Time that new things can be developed and can happen for your life. Look up, keep smiling . You can have greater. Better is here.

May the rest of this year, be beyond what you expected. May it bring you joy, love, and much happiness as you walk in your purpose.

Greater, It’s here

2020-06-01T00:52:00.003-07:00

June 2020: New Beginnings, new breakthroughs, restored hope. I hear :

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Nothing will be able to stop what God is doing for your life. Your past can’t stop you, people can’t stop you, and this season you won’t be able to stop what God wants to do for your life. Your number has been called, you’re up. It’s time for you to do all that God has called you to do. No hesitation nor reservations, God is doing a new thing. Recognize the time, see beyond what you can see, great victory is here for you and me. It’s not a time to be sad, but a time to stand bold and walk in ALL that God has for you to. Move forward, you’re a about to make prints that cannot be erased. Your greater has come. 🙏🏽

Love you,

Erica

I just heard God say that, “You didn’t miss anything.” What I planned for you cannot be broken. What I caused to you have cannot be taken away. You will have grace to finish what I started you to do. I will also finish what I stated IN you. Keep your eyes on me, things are working in your favor.
No time to try and figure it out, I already have it WORKED out. Look up, your greater is here.

It’s time to activate your assignment that God has for your life by giving God the “Yes” He has been asking form you,that will catapult you to that next dimension. See beyond what you can see to grab ahold of what God is doing. Keep moving forward by any means necessary. God has you covered, it’s time to MOVE. 🙏🏽

Higher Heights 2020

2020-01-03T13:13:00.001-08:00

Kingdom People,

Let 2020 bring you into higher heights. Go beyond where you've been by allowing God to totally lead you this year. This year can bring you beyond expectations if you can believe. Let Romans 12-1:2 and Ephesians 3:20 stick with you throughout this year. Protect your peace and purpose. Focus on God and He will connect you with the right connections. Don't take 2019 disappointments into this year 2020. You can choose to be better by making different decisions. Pay attention to those who are for you, and be okay with letting go those who are not. Lead without hesitation and be ALL that God has called you to be this YEAR.

Blessings,
Erica

The Homestretch, you WILL Pass THIS test

2019-12-28T10:57:00.000-08:00

You are hitting the homestretch, no matter what it felt like tried to stop you from accomplishing what God told you to do this season, God is saying, with Me- you will pass the test. God doesn’t need time-He is not bound by time and is always on time- He created time. What may seemed strenuous to you, is a piece of cake to God. Lean on Him, trust in Him, let Him lead you to victory. This last part of this season you will have grace to finish ON time. Never forget, God led you to THIS victory. Give HIM the glory. Amen. 🙏🏽

Depends on You

2019-12-14T10:54:00.002-08:00

12-14

In this season, how far you go will depend on your willingness to hear God. If you follow His voice, you will get what He has for you. Don’t delay and don’t allow distractions to keep you from what God has for you. There is a time coming where knowing His voice will be extremely critical. It already is, but this time coming up will cause you to excel further immediately. You see will more desires results doing things His way. If you trust His voice, you will not regret.

Will you listen? The choice is up to you.

A September to Remember

2019-09-02T21:11:00.002-07:00

September:

God is going to do just what He promised you. Keep your eyes on God, it’s going to happen for you. You’re closer than you think. Don’t overthink where you are, God can see it all. Don’t stress nor worry, greater is ahead for you. Stay in position. Your time is near. Stay prepared and keep doing YOUR part. Your preparation shows God that you trust Him.

4th Quarter- you’re about to see how faithful

God is. Just what He said, is being released.

“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

AUGUST

2019-08-06T22:26:00.000-07:00

Gold -Royalty and establishment will be yours. Positioning to elevate and expand. A new level of the realization of your authority. Things will shift as soon as realize your true identity. Favor, no fear. God will introduce more to you this year. In the meantime , let God establish where you are to prepare you for the next.

As you move forward with what you have now-know that you have been sent. Sent ones have things prepared for them. So if God has given you the green light regarding anything, MOVE on it. It will work.

FLY HIGH

2019-07-04T21:49:00.001-07:00

Soar into your destiny. God is given you grace to succeed. Things that seemed challenging last season to accomplish, God will give you grace to finish them this season. He’s mounting you up with wings as an Eagle to fly high. This means, yes you will encounter certain situations but He’s given you the ability to fly high above them and not be affected. This is a time of serenity because your trust in God will allow you to keep your peace on a new level this season.

JUNE

2019-06-02T22:52:00.001-07:00

I see new things blooming, I see blue which represents wholeness, royalty, richness, honor, respect, loyalty. You are about to step into something you’ve been praying for. It will begin to make sense why you had to go the way you did. God never forgot about you and will always honor His Word. This season you’ll be able to rest and have more peace because the things you’re coming into will bring you more peace and rest because they are God sent. Cling tighter to God, He’s going to show you more this month. Remember, when God is in “it” there are no limits. Reach up. There is so much more that God has in store.

Blessings

Self-Check. Quarter Two

2019-04-03T00:15:00.002-07:00

What type of seeds are you sowing? What type of energy do you give to other people? Do you support others, or do you just want to be supported? It’s time to do a self check with the 2nd quarter of this year started. We have to keep looking at self first, in order to grow and be promoted. Make sure your intentions are right with what you’re pursuing. Make sure you’re doing things that help you get better and support your growth. What we put out matters. If we want to see good energy etc, make sure you’re doing your part as well giving it out. There are a lot of things God still want to do through us this year, so keep your mind right and focus right.

Starts with YOU.

Luv ya!

Month of Acceleration

2019-03-08T22:16:00.002-08:00

Hey all! I pray your year has been kind to you! I want to speak a word of blessings over you all. May this month of March be a month of acceleration for you. A month were things that normally would have taken months to complete, that you can complete them in days. I believe that some things you've been waiting on are getting ready to arrive. I believe things you had a hard time letting go of, are now suddenly becoming easier to release. I believe this is your time to be released and reveal. Because you stayed on the path that God set before you, may you now bloom into something great. Because God's hand is on your life, may you prosper like never before.
In Jesus Name , Amen.

-Blessings,

Chapter 8: It's okay to get HELP!

Focus to Finish

2019-02-10T01:13:00.001-08:00

I want to encourage you all to focus to finish. There are a lot of things that can become distractions in our lives but it’s up to us to choose not to be distracted. It can be easy to get distracted at times especially when it seems like things are small and not harmful. If we are not careful, things such as social media, cell phones, even gossiping conversations can become culprits of distraction. Therefore it’s important to do self-assessments to ensure what we give our time to, is necessary. Making the adjustments to better your life will help ensure you are remaining focus to finish.

Don't beat yourself up. If you have allowed things or people to distract you, it’s time to recognize something needs to change in order to reach your desired goals. Keep a smile on your face. If you choose to remove distractions you’ll be headed to reach new levels of success. God wants to give you more, but it’s up to you to allow Him to.

Will you stay focused to finish? The choice is up to you.

Love you guys,

Eri
