  • Join me, Megan Ashley, on this enriching episode of "In Totality" as I share my heart and reflections on the past year, highlighting my journey of spiritual focus and discipline since May 2023. In our exploration of embracing freedom in salvation, we delve into the transformative power of key biblical scriptures such as Romans 5:8 and John 3:16. These passages illuminate the incredible love and sacrifice of Christ for humanity, encouraging us to fully embrace God's unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance. The narrative of the prodigal son serves as a powerful illustration of God's boundless grace and restoration, reminding us that no matter how far we stray, we can always return to Him and be fully restored.
    As we discuss experiencing liberation through Christ, I share how understanding God's kindness, provision, and mercy brings peace and freedom. This chapter emphasizes the joyous privilege of living according to His teachings, not out of obligation, but from a place of honor and gratitude. Listen in as we explore practical ways to live in the freedom of being in Christ daily, balancing life with a heart check and seeking God's guidance. Reflecting on scriptures such as Psalms 139:23, Acts 3:19, and Galatians 2:20, we discuss the importance of daily repentance, embracing our identity in Christ, and avoiding temptations.

    God we give you the glory and the honor. Lord I ask that you cleanse Megan's mind of thoughts that are not of you. Heal her from the top of her head to the bottoms of her feet. I ask that you dismantle all mental health illnesses in her body father. Dismantle and uproot all spirits that are not of you from her atmosphere, environments that she goes into, and her lineage. We come against all entities that are trying to take her off of her path. Lord I am asking you to do the same miracles and healing that we have known you to do just like you did for the woman with the issue of blood, the blind men, the woman at the well, the boy with the unclean spirit, and many others. May she receive peace and healing in her mind. In Jesus name Amen!!

    I can soooooo relate to this right now!!!! When I mess up at times, I have to (fight) just to remind myself “God is not going to forsake you or throw you away or not want to be your ‘friend’ anymore because you messed up/fell short in an area”! Once I get over my own negative thoughts, I’m ok and I get back in my word and keep pushing! ✝️

    The level of vulnerability and honesty in this episode is exactly what I was looking for. Though Megan is vulnerable and honest in all episodes, I was hoping to hear this level of rawness and truth around moments when we DON’T do what we know we’re supposed to do as Christians and what that talk with God looks/sounds like after.

      I have tendencies of self condemning even though I know God has forgiven me after I repented. Having to forgive myself is where the problem lies, like I have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help me to forgive myself lest I keep beating myself up.

    I love this one so much, this is literally my mindset for a lot of my life. It feels so bandaging to wondering when I am messing up or "oh did I end up sinning?" but I heard a small clip of this on insta which is what brought me here to this very exact podcast and I could relate to EVERYTHING! My thoughts are my own enemy and it is so beautiful to know I don't struggle alone with this. Thank God for your obedience and transparency to speak so gentle with conviction and truth!

    Thank you Megan this was timely! The replacing my thoughts and remembering im forgiven is a immediate struggle when i mess up

      I was diagnosed with bipolar depression I invested In A meditation course and it changed my life!! Learning to quiet my mind and devoting time to God lets me see my life and the things around me differently. I no longer have to take the medication. And I’m up and moving around despite my chronic health issues. Prayers for you on this leg of your journey!!

    Much needed message. Fell back into sin and rebellion because I felt overhwmed and stressed and went back to old habits instead of trusting in God thru the pain-I recently repented and turned back to God fully and was feeling so terrible for rebelling and felt extreme shame and guilt but you are so right in that God loves us so much even when we rebel and fall 😭😭 He’s so good, thank you Jesus !!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

    Wow, just the first 8 min have blessed me. I've been dealing with works based mentality for years and conflict came up with a friend this weekend and it broke me down to where I had to be vulnerable and address the root cause. Now I'm on a journey of embracing God as Father and dive into the revelation of my salvation is not by my works but by faith. It's crazy how I've been in church, served, ministered and I myself did not have the basic revelation of the gospel until now.

    I think the fact that we deal with the accuser of the brethren on a daily basis, is one of the reasons our minds run to self-condemn even though we know God forgives whenever we turn to him in repentance. It's the self condemnation and forgiveness that I tend to struggle with after and have to fight for the faith to not wallow in my moments of weakness and walk out the forgiveness I received.
