Not a one of us hasn't changed siginificantly over these last four years. God has expanded our thinking in myriad ways.

And He has gifted us with people like Diana to encourage us along the way.

The prophetic world came alive for many of us during the plandemic, carrying us through the worst of times and filling our hearts with joy in anticipation of the best of times. God's assurances through the voices of his prophets was and is coming through loud and clear.

God is pouring out His Spirit on ALL people. (Joel 2:28)

The truth is more illuminated than ever before.

As we look back on what the Holy Spirit has been revealing to us, we can be confident He means what He says. The ground on which we stand has never been more secure as we watch our declarations, intercessions, and prayers--our partnership in trust--come to fruition.

We must continue to hold our positions as we enter our final battle.

The best is yet to come because our God is not messing around!

How do you know if you are being influenced by a religious spirit?

How do you know there IS such a thing as a religious spirit?

A religious spirit is a mockery of the Holy Spirit. Like all other things demonic, it masquerades, is counterfeit, and counter productive. It bears the fruit of chaos and corruption.

It presents itself as a legitimate force of God.

And sets up strongholds in our churches.

The religious spirit causes one to become rigid and resist change. It insists it is right and champions pride at a deep level. It causes a Believer, even those filled with tremendous faith, to stand firm in what he or she knows is best over what the Holy Spirit is doing.

A religious spirit causes us to close off any thoughts or ideas of moving forward beyond the parameters of what our individual or collective narrative is, standing in the way of the movement and voice of our God.

It accuses us of heresy.

It causes us to focus on the wily ways darkness can deceive us over the ways God is trying to lead us.

Can we just take a moment to consider its influence in our lives where faith is concerned? We have all been held in bondage by this spirit to one degree or another.

If there is any bitter fruit of pride, self-righteousness, anger and resentment, etc. within or beyond the church, the religious spirit is in the mix.

It would stand to reason.

Because religion keeps us from taking our Promised Land. Our Savior died for our eternal reward and included in that is the present partnership he is hoping to have with each of us. We must address the spiritual elephant in the room to beat him out of the way.

Mary Katherine Searcy is a champion for the freedom Jesus offers. I think you will absolutely love her and I hope you find our conversation food for thought.

"Now it's time to be made brand new by every revelation given you." ~ Ephesians 4:23 (Passion Translation)

That verse begs the questions:

Do you WANT to be made brand new?

Or are you content with the way things are now?

From the beginning of time the deceiver has led God's people away from truth, callling lies truth and truth lies.

What are you believing now that you shouldn't be?

What truth are you rejecting?

We all have been held captive by our own self-imposed limitations.

Hopefully you believe God wants to encourage you, not destroy you along with the rest of the planet he disapproves of.

It is time we allow for the renewing of our minds. Ash is one of those called to help us do this.

We must encourage one another into the Kingdom on earth.

Maybe it's time we consider draining the swamp of our minds too.


Disclaimer: We had technical difficulties and much of our great convo went missing, so this episode ends abruptly. Stay tuned for more though because we won't give up!

"Today's discussion might ruffle a few feathers," I told her.

"That's fine," she said.

So, there we went. Right into controversy. But it's all good and all in the name of love. Don't you want to know truth so you can live your best life in reaction to it?

Honestly, we don't want to worship anything on the altar of an unknown god and we certainly don't want to sacrifice there. Do we?

DO WE?

Let's just keep open hearts in all that our God is exposing these days.

None of us is living the life we thought we were.

It will be beyond what you have ever seen.

Beyond. What. You. Have. Ever. Seen.

God is doing a thing in this hour.

So hold on now and don't give into the alternative narrative!

We are in unprecedented times. The spiritual war going on around around us, the effects of which are seen and felt in the natural realm, includes a shaking of the sleeping. Those who have been slumbering or distracted are being brought to attention and response.

God is allowing the evil of this world to be seen in a greater way.

This exposure is a call to action. It isn't a siren urging you to bunker down in despair and pray you are raptured to heaven!

God is so much bigger than that.

We are beginning to see signs of HIS presence like never before.

He is showing up in pockets all over the globe and in people of all ages.

The glory of our God is arising! He IS wiping out the darkness and establishing the LIGHT!

Beyond what you have ever seen.

REJOICE in the TRUTH that is being uncovered!

There are good times ahead!

Hollywood as we know it needs to go.

Because most of us are so over the content of feature films these days, to put it mildly.

As someone who grew up in Southern California and whose mother was raised in Hollywood, it grieves me to say this. What once felt like good, clean entertainment is no longer. I grew up on her stories of watching John Wayne filming on set, the famous guests she always ran into when at her boyfriend's house (whose father was a movie director), and the various glam girls she interacted with, like Nancy Sinatra, who told her how to put her makeup on properly. Some of her best days were spent singing the music of her next door neighbor and tree-climbing friend, Dean Torrence, who completed the duo of the surf-rock band Jan & Dean.

But those sun-filled glorious days in Surf City have gone to muck.

Thank God there are people like my guest today who are changing the world where entertainment is concerned.

Chevonne O'Shaughnessy is committed to producing wholesome, inspiring content in feature films that will leave all our hearts in better condition.

What she has to say today is fascinating and so very encouraging.

My late father used to say, "It all comes out in the wash."

That statement has never been more true, I think.

It may look like deception triumps, but truth always prevails.

Always.

It may seem as though evil always wins, but good is victorious.

Always.

So hang on to your hats!

It's happening.

The world is coming to know THE TRUTH! God has never left us or forsaken us. He has been assuring us of this.

And.

And he is taking us beyond the bondage we have known to experience him and his plans for us in greater measure.

Much greater measure.

Don't let the Pharisees get you down, people. Our God is so much bigger than small-minded agendas. He is in the business of encouraging, not restricting.

Always.

So I've gathered my team of encouragers again today to do just that.
