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.

There is a powerful biblical principle that many believers overlook: unity invites blessing. Scripture asks in Amos 3:3, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Agreement is more than simply being in the same space — it is spiritual alignment. When a husband and wife are aligned in heart, purpose, and obedience to God, there is strength in that union. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 reminds us, “Two are better than one… For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.” Marriage is not merely romantic; it is covenantal and spiritual.Marriage is described in Malachi 2:14 as a covenant witnessed by God Himself. That means what is built inside of marriage carries spiritual weight. When a couple prays over land, purchases property together, and builds assets while unified, those things are established under agreement. Unity becomes the soil in which the blessing grows.

In this reflective faith-based podcast episode, Ya Girl Renae shares a personal spiritual revelation inspired by the biblical moment in Exodus when Moses strikes the rock and water flows out in the wilderness. Using this powerful image, she explores how situations that appear hard, sealed, and impossible may still contain hidden life and purpose.Through calm storytelling and spiritual insight, the episode connects ancient scripture to modern struggles, encouraging listeners to trust God during seasons of pressure, delay, and uncertainty. Renae reflects on the idea that obedience and faith can unlock healing, restoration, and breakthrough, even when circumstances seem unmovable.Centered on the belief that God is still a healer and provider, the episode offers encouragement to those facing emotional, physical, or spiritual challenges, reminding them that what looks dry on the outside may already hold what they need within. The message emphasizes trust, patience, and hope, presenting faith as a source of strength in difficult moments rather than a promise of instant solutions.

One of the hardest things for us to do as believers isn’t doing more—it’s learning how to be still.Scripture reminds us plainly:“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10God is not asking us to fix, manage, or rescue our own lives. He is God all by Himself. He doesn’t need our help—He desires our trust and obedience.So often we trust God with the big, obvious things but keep tight control over the rest—our plans, our timelines, our fears, our relationships. But partial trust isn’t trust at all.“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6Stillness doesn’t mean inactivity; it means surrender. It means quieting the noise so we can hear His voice and choosing obedience even when it doesn’t make sense. God values obedience over our efforts:“To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22When we stop striving and start listening, we discover something powerful: God has already gone before us.“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14God isn’t looking for helpers—He’s looking for hearts that are fully His. When we release control and trust Him with every part of our lives, we experience the peace and direction that only He can give.What if the breakthrough you’re praying for doesn’t require more effort—but more surrender?In this episode, we’ll talk about what it really means to be still before God, how to recognize His voice, and why obedience matters more than our plans. We’ll explore Scriptures like:“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27God doesn’t need us to figure everything out—He asks us to trust Him with everything. Not some of it. Not the easy parts. All of it.If you’re tired of striving and ready to rest in God’s will, this episode is for you.Stay tuned—and be still. 🙏🎙 Podcast Sneak Peek: Be Still & Trust

I’ve been sitting with a revelation that changed the way I look at recognition, purpose, and suffering — and I’m finally talking about it on the podcast. You don't need to be recognized by people, you need to only be recognized by GOD! We live in a time where everyone wants to be seen, heard, elevated, and remembered. But what if the very thing people are chasing… isn’t how God actually does elevation at all?Jesus wasn’t known because He stayed visible.
He was known because He was obedient — even unto death.And that truth opens up a much bigger conversation about why this walk feels hard, why persecution hurts the way it does, and why so many people want the glory without understanding what comes before it.There’s a difference between being popular and being purposeful.
There’s a difference between doing what everyone else is doing and carrying something that can’t be duplicated.I don’t want to give this away in a post — because it needs to be heard, not skimmed. But I will say this:If you’ve ever felt like you’re dying to the old you…
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood for choosing God over applause…
If you’ve ever wondered why doing the right thing still feels costly…This episode is for you.The full breakdown, the deeper meaning, and the part I can’t type out — that’s on the podcast. 🎙️
Trust me… this one goes deeper than people expect.Stay tuned.

I had to sit with what God showed me today. We are quick to believe the bad in people, quick to repeat it, quick to disqualify them, but when it comes to ourselves, we want grace, mercy, and understanding. That contradiction? God had something to say about it… and it might be the very reason some blessings are delayed.There’s something God spoke to my spirit today that I can’t shake, and I won’t pretend it was comfortable. He reminded me that He is a God of second chances—and if I truly say I know Him, then my posture toward people has to reflect that truth.Here’s the problem though. Many of us are excellent at believing the worst about others. If someone messes up, fails publicly, or does something that doesn’t sit right with us, we lock them into that moment forever. We replay it. We define them by it. We cancel them out completely. But then… when it’s our past, our mistake, our weak season, suddenly we want God to “understand,” to “see our heart,” to “remember our growth.”God showed me how backwards that is.When we only believe the bad in people, we leave no room for correction, growth, or redemption. And that’s dangerous, because correction is how people learn. Without it, without patience, without someone willing to see potential instead of permanence, how does anyone ever become better?People do not always remain where they are.You didn’t.I didn’t.And God didn’t meet us at our worst just to abandon us there.What really struck me was this: when we cancel people out completely, we are silently telling God, “I decide who deserves grace.” And that’s not our place. That’s not our authority. Judgment belongs to God alone.God is not a God of “just a select few.” He is a God of everybody. And in this season, a lot of people are praying for blessings while simultaneously asking God to punish someone else. But mercy doesn’t work like that. You don’t get to demand grace for yourself while denying it to others. That door doesn’t stay open.This is why some people feel stuck spiritually.This is why prayers feel unanswered.This is why peace feels distant.It’s not always because of what was done to you—it’s sometimes because of what you refuse to release from you.God showed me that paying attention only to the bad can blind you to the good. And when you miss the good, you miss what God might be trying to grow. You miss the lesson. You miss the purpose. You even miss the blessing that can come out of an uncomfortable situation.That doesn’t mean ignoring wrongdoing.That doesn’t mean excusing behavior.That doesn’t mean trusting people blindly.It means understanding that God specializes in transformation, not permanent labeling.And here’s the part that really sat heavy with me: many of the same people who were given patience, time, and mercy by God are now the loudest voices saying someone else should get none. That’s not discernment—that’s pride dressed up as righteousness.God touched my soul with this because He made it clear:If you want mercy, you must walk in mercy.If you want grace, you must extend grace.And if you want God to work in your life, you cannot block Him by trying to do His job.I go much deeper into this on the podcast—what God showed me, what Scripture confirms, and why this message is critical right now. This post is just the surface. The conversation? That’s where the real revelation is.🎧 Listen to the full episode on the podcastBecause some truths aren’t meant to be skimmed—they’re meant to be heard.

I want to speak to anyone who has been losing sleep, peace, or joy because they’re worried about what someone else might be doing behind closed doors. The whispers, the fear, the thoughts like, “What if someone is working against me?” Let me remind you of something powerful and unshakable: when you belong to Jesus, there is nothing anyone can do to override His authority over your life.The Bible tells us plainly,“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.” That scripture doesn’t say weapons won’t be formed. It says they won’t prosper. That distinction matters. People may talk. People may wish harm. People may try spiritual manipulation, gossip, intimidation, or control. But none of it has power unless we give it power through fear.Fear is the real doorway. Not witchcraft. Not curses. Not what someone “might” be doing. Fear is what opens space for anxiety, doubt, and spiritual confusion. And fear is exactly what the enemy wants, because fear shifts our focus off God and onto people. The moment we start worrying about who is doing what, we stop trusting in who God is.Jesus never told us to monitor our enemies. He told us to trust Him. He didn’t say, “Watch your back.” He said, “Follow Me.” That’s a posture of confidence, not paranoia.Here’s the truth that sets people free: nothing can touch what God has sealed. If you are covered by the blood of Jesus, you are not spiritually exposed. You are not vulnerable. You are not open to attack the way fear makes it seem. You are protected, guarded, and surrounded. Scripture says God places a hedge around His people. That means access is denied unless He allows it, and God does not hand His children over to destruction.A lot of people unknowingly give power to the wrong things. They talk more about darkness than light. They study curses instead of promises. They repeat what the enemy might do instead of declaring what God already said. But words matter. Faith matters. Agreement matters.When we say, “That won’t work,” it still keeps our focus on the weapon. But when we say, “It will not prosper,” we are agreeing with God’s authority. We are declaring an outcome based on His Word, not our fear. That’s why confession is so important. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.As believers, we don’t need to chase spiritual threats. We don’t need to confront imagined enemies. We don’t need to obsess over protection rituals. Jesus is our protection. His name alone carries authority. When we walk in obedience, humility, and trust, we are already standing in victory.Every attack that rises against you must fall. Not because you fought it perfectly, but because God promised it. Not because you are flawless, but because He is faithful. The enemy cannot override a covenant sealed by Christ.So instead of worrying, worship.
Instead of fearing, declare truth.
Instead of watching people, watch God move.Peace comes when we remember who we belong to. Strength comes when we stop magnifying threats and start magnifying the Lord. And freedom comes when we finally understand this: if God is for us, nothing formed against us has the final word.Stand firm. Stay covered. Keep believing. And walk boldly, knowing that what rises against you will fall, every single time.
