God has been reminding me that there is work to be done. We don't have time to become consumed by every situation that appears around us. Sometimes people don't like when you identify something as a distraction because once you recognize it, you stop giving it the attention it was receiving. Problems can become distractions. People's opinions can become distractions. Fear can become a distraction. Worry can become a distraction. Even constantly thinking about what could happen tomorrow can distract you from what God has placed in front of you today. If something continually pulls your attention away from your purpose, your peace, your relationship with God, and the work you know you should be doing, you have to learn how to recognize it without allowing it to control you.

I want to share something today because I feel deeply led to speak to those who may be walking through confusion. Sometimes the confusion we experience is not because something is wrong with us. Sometimes we become confused because we have started entertaining too many voices. We start worrying about who, what, when, where, why, how, and what if. We start examining situations that God never asked us to examine. And before we know it, we have allowed questions to become louder than our faith.If you believe in God and you know that God loves you, then there comes a point when you have to stop worrying about everything surrounding what He has called you to do. Whatever God has placed before you, do it to the best of your ability. If you believe He has given you an assignment, concentrate on being faithful to that assignment instead of constantly looking around to see whether somebody else understands it, approves of it, validates it, or believes in you.Confusion can become powerful when we start believing every negative thought that enters our minds. That is why Scripture tells us to test things rather than simply accept every spiritual claim: “Test the spirits to see whether they are from God” (1 John 4:1). Everything that enters your mind is not automatically truth, and everything somebody attaches God's name to did not necessarily come from God.That is especially important today.Someone can stand before a camera and say, “God told me,” but simply attaching God's name to an action does not make that action godly. If somebody claims God instructed them to abuse a child, murder somebody, exploit somebody, or commit some other evil act, Christians should not suddenly become confused about God's character. We measure the claim against the character and teachings revealed in Scripture. Jesus Himself warned that we recognize people by their fruit (Matthew 7:15–20).

Glory be to God. I wanted to come on today specifically to share a vision that I received last night. This is something that has stayed heavily on my mind, and I believe it is important for me to document what I see and share what I feel led to share.In the vision, I saw someone who appeared to be a person of high relevance or influence. There were also women present who appeared to be celebrity-type figures. One of the women reminded me of someone with the level of fame and presence of Beyoncé, although I am not saying that the woman in the dream was actually Beyoncé. I am simply describing the type of prominence and celebrity presence that I perceived in the vision.

One thing we have to understand about walking with Christ is that everybody is not at the same level of spiritual maturity. Some people are still learning how to control their emotions, how to communicate without becoming disrespectful, how to handle correction, how to forgive, and how to respond when they do not get their way. Because of that immaturity, people will sometimes say things and do things that are completely wrong. However, the bigger question for the mature believer is not always, “Why are they acting like that?” Sometimes the question needs to be, “Why am I allowing their behavior to pull me back into a version of myself that God has already grown me out of?”

John 11:9–10 (KJV) says, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.”I wanted to start with this scripture because I believe there is a powerful message here for anybody who is trying to do what is right, follow God, change their life, or walk more closely with Christ. Jesus spoke these words when there was real danger surrounding Him. The disciples were concerned about Jesus returning to Judea because people there had previously sought to stone Him. Yet Jesus understood something that we have to learn to understand in our own lives: when you know you are walking according to the Father's will, you cannot allow fear to determine your direction.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:16, “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” That Scripture means something to me because I don't believe we're supposed to blindly follow somebody just because they have a title in front of their name. Look at the fruit. Look at how they treat people. Look at how they speak about people when they're angry. Look at what happens when somebody disagrees with them. Look at how they treat people who cannot do anything for them. You cannot constantly tear people down, gossip about people, speak negatively about people behind closed doors, and then turn around and act as though none of that matters because you can preach.Kingdom Influence Media (KIM) is an independent, mega-popular forum platform that allows users to participate in discussions through written comments, audio, or video.

Ashley St. Clair has basically gone on Don Lemon's show and spread the news that Elon Musk had something to do with helping Donald Trump win the election, which is something many people already suspected anyway. This whole situation is sad, but I felt like we needed to bring it to Kingdom Influence Media because it deserves a real discussion.

I’m just going to say it how it is, because this has been on my mind heavy lately. One thing that confuses me about some people in the church is how easy it is for them to talk about the Word but not actually live it. And I’m not saying anybody has to be perfect, because clearly, none of us are. But there’s a difference between struggling and straight-up ignoring what you’re teaching. Like, how are you going to sit there and tell people how to live for Christ, but behind closed doors you’re doing the complete opposite? That’s where it starts to feel fake. And people can see that. You might think they don’t, but trust me, they do. Jesus made it clear we’re supposed to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. It’s easy to quote scripture. It’s easy to post about God. It’s easy to give advice. But living it? That’s the real work. That’s where the consistency shows up. And honestly, this is why a lot of people don’t take Christianity seriously. It’s not always the message—it’s the messengers. When people see hypocrisy, it turns them off completely. You can’t tell someone “God is love” but you’re full of hate. You can’t talk about honesty but you’re lying and manipulating people. That’s what makes people question everything. And then we wonder why folks don’t want to come to church or don’t trust believers. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being real. If you mess up, own it. If you’re struggling, say that. But don’t act like you’re walking in something that you’re not even trying to live. That’s where the problem comes in. Because when you’re in a position where you’re teaching, leading, or even just speaking about God, people are watching you whether you like it or not. They’re building trust based on what you say AND what you do. And if those two things don’t line up, your credibility starts to fall apart.

In this powerful and eye-opening podcast, the message is clear—your relationship with God is personal, direct, and accessible without needing to rely solely on prophets, pastors, or spiritual leaders for answers. While guidance from others can be helpful, the core truth is that God desires consistent, personal communication with His people. Too often, individuals seek direction from others before first seeking God for themselves. This message challenges that mindset and calls believers back to the foundation of faith: prayer, reading the Word, and being spiritually present.When you truly desire change and growth in your life, it starts with positioning your heart to hear from God directly. The Bible speaks, prayer connects, and through daily communication, clarity begins to form. Being prophetic or spiritually gifted does not replace your responsibility to seek God—it should actually encourage you to go deeper.

Sometimes we get so caught up in what’s going wrong that we completely miss what God is actually doing. God ministered something powerful to me today: our inconveniences are often our greatest blessings. We don’t like discomfort. We don’t like delays. We don’t like when life shifts in ways we didn’t plan. But just because something feels inconvenient doesn’t mean it isn’t intentional.Think about this…There are moments in life where everything seems to be going “right”—traveling, spending money, being around people, enjoying life. But even in all of that, something can still be missing: a real, deep connection with God. Sometimes, it takes a disruption to bring alignment.There was a woman who lived a full life on the outside—traveling, socializing, constantly moving—but she never slowed down enough to truly seek God. Then one day, she became very sick. And in that moment, everything changed. What once distracted her was stripped away. And in that stillness, she found something greater.She began to pray.
She began to read.
She began to trust.
She began to know God—not just hear about Him. What looked like a breaking point became a turning point. Now hear this clearly: God is not saying you have to reach rock bottom to find Him. But the truth is, sometimes it takes more to get some people’s attention than others. Not every hardship leads to destruction. Some hardships lead to transformation.Even the small things we overlook carry purpose. You might get a flat tire and feel frustrated but what if that delay protected you from something you never saw coming? You might feel led to go somewhere at a random time and not understand why—but what if your presence changed something, or even saved someone? You may never get the full explanation—and that’s okay. Because faith isn’t about knowing every detail. It’s about trusting that God does.Even when people talk about you.
Even when life feels unfair.
Even when things don’t make sense.It is still working for your good.What feels like an inconvenience may actually be divine protection.
What feels like a delay may actually be divine timing.
What feels like a struggle may actually be your pathway to glory.So instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?”
Try asking, “God, what are You doing through me in this moment?”Because nothing is wasted.
Nothing is random.
And nothing is without purpose.Even this… is working for you.Stay encouraged.
