I really really need an episode for what a christian home “looks like” and how to invite the Holy Spirit into it and how to anoint it and things like that
I love it so much when someone asks their friend or family member who has found Jesus, “who are you?” It truly shows how much Jesus changes you and your view on life.
Its because they are not the person they were and they become confused and can't wrap thier head around the fact Christ changes us that much. I look at it as a good thing .
So excited to hear this! I use to love astrology, meditate with crystals, chakras, reiki, do full moon/new moon manifestation rituals. Now I’m reborn and left that behind!🙏🏼
I am so glad you were vulnerable and honest about your story because it’s super relatable! I think we can all relate to trying to “hold on” to something not of God and justify it in a sense all while ignoring the truth that it isn’t good for us and needs to go. It’s also easy to compare our spiritual lives with others, for example, I know several Christian’s that I would consider super “strong” Christian’s, that celebrate Halloween, and I’ve felt a personal conviction not to anymore (which is super hard when you have a 3&4 year old, it’s not even about myself as an adult, it’s about explaining to them why we aren’t trick or treating etc) and I’ve found myself comparing my life to others, like “my pastor let’s his kids do this or that or celebrate this or that” but I have to follow the leading and discernment of the Holy Spirit, NOT follow other humans!
Discernment is definitely key, there’s a specific type of incense that is biblical and was used as worship and part of sacrificing to God. I’m an Ethiopian orthodox Christian and the priests use it as part of the service but it’s frankincense. As I’ve read through the bible A LOT of witchcraft is simply biblical things used to worship and commune with God and twisted for the enemy. Which is no surprise as that is the foundation of the enemy’s knowledge
I grew up catholic and hard agree! Many sacred ritualistic things from christianity, catholic andorthodox, aren't evil but sued for evil stuff. By focusing so much on this = good this = bad without proper context we get lost on menial things.
THANK FOR SHARING YOUR POV!! Incense is definitely Biblical and can be used in a ways to glorify God. Nonetheless, the Holy Spirt convicts people differently so I understand that as well. The smell of incense is too strong for my liking so I prefer candles. Regardless, it's so important to do all things to the glory of God as 1 Cor 10:31 says.
“In the Bible, incense is often associated with worship and prayer. It was used in the Old Testament as part of the sacrificial system and in the tabernacle and temple rituals. The burning of incense symbolized the prayers of the people rising up to God as a pleasing aroma. - **Psalm 141:2 (NIV)**: "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice." This verse from Psalms illustrates the connection between incense and prayer, highlighting the desire for our prayers to be pleasing to God. While the specific use of incense in worship may vary among Christian traditions today, the symbolic significance of incense as a representation of prayer and worship remains a powerful reminder of our communication with God.”
In addition to Psalm 141:2, there are several other scriptures in the Bible that mention incense: 1. **Exodus 30:34-38 (NIV)**: These verses describe the specific instructions given by God to Moses regarding the composition of the sacred incense to be used in the tabernacle. 2. **Revelation 8:3-4 (NIV)**: In this passage, incense is associated with the prayers of God's people in heaven, symbolizing the prayers of the saints rising before God. 3. **Luke 1:9-10 (NIV)**: This passage describes the story of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, who was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense while the people prayed outside. These verses highlight the significance of incense in the worship practices of the Old Testament and its symbolic representation of prayer and worship in the New Testament.
Exodus 30 also says ”Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy. Anyone who makes incense like this for personal use will be cut off from the community.” I’m totally not implying that we’re still held to that standard and I’m still trying to read and learn about all of it myself, but Jesus’ death/resurrection tore the veil and the Law has been fulfilled. It is no longer necessary to burn incense to approach God. There’s a specific formula God told them to use in the Old Testament ONLY in the tabernacle and after Jesus came it was no longer necessary. I do get your point, but even back then it was forbidden outside of the tabernacle.
@@reaghanblakeand to add on top of that it was only the priests that were allowed to enter inside the tabernacle to place the incense on the altar for it to burn and be the connection between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies as it would rise and fall over the veil onto the Mercy seat. Additionally, if I remember correctly, the incense was to only burn from coals taken from the fire that God created at the Brazen Altar and all other strange fire was forbidden to be used… so between “strange” fire and the use by the priests it may be implied that it’s off limits otherwise since there were such detailed instructions for the operation of the Tabernacle.
The conviction!!! Sis, this is powerful!!! I'm definitely one of the people who needed to hear this. I've always loved watching ghost adventures and stuff like it and recently when I'd watch I'd feel that tug to not watch it but would just make an excuse and watch it anyway. Literally before tuning in to watch this video I was watching a ghost hunting show, ignoring the nudge to not watch these things.🥴Everything you described is everything I've been feeling, God knew I needed this today. Thank you so much for being such an obedient woman of God, and allowing the Spirit to speak through you. He is so so good!🙏
Sister, I needed to hear this. Ive let go of all things zodiac recently because I just always got an off feeling about it sorta like a voice in my head and I didn’t realize that even if you don’t mean the intention that it is, it still is exactly that. I feel answered if that makes sense.
We have such a similar faith story that it's actually really scary. A few years ago, I had to dispose of many items you discussed during this episode. I was so naive. The enemy wants you to feel like you have some control and insight into your future when these things are not yours to worry about.
Tarot cards is something I struggle badly with. It’s hard to pull away from it , I get very tempted to watch it some days. I will continue to pray 🙏 to God.
I'm an ex new ager and born again Christian and your videos I just love! I also ask "why" about so many things and love to just have knowledge lol which my mind is full of nonsense knowledge. I am on fire for God right now and binging your videos, ahhhh!!! I take notes, lol you are so lovely! I sent you a direct message on Instagram as I also had a near death experience in August. I hope you and everyone watching has a blessed day! ❤
The second you said triangle rock…… I literally had one right next to my phone that I’ve kept as decor on my desk for so long….. thank you ally I needed to hear this
Ally, I just have to say that I have tried many many times to fall asleep to your podcast at night. But every time I try, I just get too invested and keep listening. Love your podcast so much, lol!
It’s like the enemy knew God’s plans for you and started trying to block you from it before your breakthrough. God broke through like yea bro that’s enough.
Don't apologize for being blunt when it comes to warning others. Yes others might feel judged and offended, but that can't be avoided. Stand strong Ally.
I’m loving all these episodes , and i love how many verses you read. If you put the verses on the screen it would be cool too 🫶🏼 i kept pausing and rewinding trying to get everything on paper lol
Such a powerful session Ally, it' something that I needed to hear as there are people, I know who participate in these demonic activities and it made me uncomfortable 💛Looking forward to what you bring every week x
Girl!!! I just watched another UA-camr that was inspired by you to talk about God. Always know that through you and your platform God is reaching so many people. She saw you and now is telling others about God!! I am so excited to see how He will continue to spread the gospel!!!
I am so very grateful to have found this podcast and listening to them is a blessing. The lord had already gave me these revelations but hearing it and basing it on experiences and the scriptures is so strong, and it will help me as I try and shed light on the practices of those around me, anyway thank you Ally, be blessed ✨♥️🙏🏻
I’ve been so attached to astrology, I put so much effort into learning everything I could about it. I own a mejuri Sagittarius necklace that I would never take off. I’m going to replace it with a cross now🤍✝️
Been waiting for this for 5 days! I'm so excited to hear this, it's unbelievable. God is good. Thank you so much for your passion and your tireless work. Keep walking with Jesus and taking us along for the ride. ✝🙏
Watching this to stay focused as I prepare all my old metaphysical stuff to be sold. I have cards and crystals and books etc. and even though the Lord stopped me from using any new age stuff like 2 years ago and it’s all been in storage, it’s time to purge all the old. I will not bring this into my future household. As for me and my house we will served the Lord. Amen.
so glad you SPECIFICALLY talked about incense. I personally felt convicted of this too while I was considering using it again. I’m taking this as my sign not to as I resonated with every word! the smell alone could trigger memories back to when I dabbled in new age practices. it’s also not necessary for prayer either.. so why bother when we have candles and oil diffusers :)
If you ever go to Mexico don’t take part in their Mayan ceremonies. It is an open door. I had a nightmare/dream after my first trip to Cancún and a spiritual battle because I took part. Never again.
and honestly tarot reading has become so popular. It is hard to avoid even on UA-cam. I’ve had to put up a lot of barriers because I used to dabble in it to edit, becomes very addicting, but every time it would change my personality and I would do things like drinking or binging without even knowing it for those who believe God never lets that light completely go dark I think my curiosity for witchcraft started when I started Harry Potter series
Also struggling with nightmares legit every night the closer I’ve gotten to Jesus the tarot cards I threw away will show up or they’ll be super sexual since becoming celibate the enemy is so annoying
13:00 oh my goodness, I was thinking just before that, well maybe incense isn’t bad if I buy a good kind and whatever literally after I left my other comment and then literally the next words out of your mouth “ I’m convicting someone right now” my mouth DROPPED it was like you read my mind
Amen💓☀️ Wow the way satan was manipulating my thoughts about zodiacs were absolutely the same. It was using that passage about three wise man, and I would argue that the stars brought them to Christ so how could it be wrong and it is a creation of God and it helps me know my flaws… so thank God I got decernment about it and now you also said that it still is witchcraft. Thank you for putting out this content. It helps a lot. I know Jesus is gifting us this type of gifts. I really can’t wait to find new uploads of your videos 🫶🏻💓💓💓 thank God
You should order a Berger Lamp! It’s not actually a lamp, that’s just the name of it. It’s a liquid that cleans the air and they have every scent you can imagine. It was originally developed for hospitals. I love mine!
The Israelite priests used incense on a special alter at the separation curtain from the most holy place. Later Jesus offers fervent prayers “like incense “ because God enjoys our prayers as we would enjoy nice smelling incense. The lie about incense now is that it’s “necessary“ for prayers when in fact our prayers are LIKE incense to God. Prayers bring him an enjoyable aroma. It was only meant to be symbolic
Such a good episode with a lot of wisdom and truth that needs to be told. Thank you so much Ally. I have told many friends that those spirits they want to connect with, is not their gran or dad or whoever, but a demon that knew all about that person and their own life. So please do not try to connect. Also, my dad passed away in 2016 and I would love to connect with him, but he is asleep and will be resurrected with the 2nd coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. When Jesus returns, the graves will open and His children will be woken up to go home with Him. Ess 9:5, Job 14:10-12, Ps 13:3, Dan 12:2, 1 King 2:10, Rev 14:13 and my fav John 11: 11 - 14, John 5: 28 - 29.
such a good episode with so much to learn but i do think it’s important to acknowledge that there is nothing innately wrong with incense itself. i’m not sure what to make of this information but i do think it is important to consider when thinking about this topic: Incense has been employed in worship by Christians since antiquity, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church/Eastern Catholic Church, Orthodox Christian churches, Lutheran Churches, Old Catholic/Liberal Catholic Churches and some Anglican Churches. Incense is being increasingly used among some other Christian groups as well; for example, the Book of Worship of The United Methodist Church calls for incense in the Evening Praise and Prayer service. The smoke of burning incense is interpreted by both the Western Catholic and Eastern Christian churches as a symbol of the prayer of the faithful rising to heaven. This symbolism is seen in Psalm 141:2: "Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight: the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice." Also in the Revelation of John, incense symbolises the prayers of the saints in heaven - the "golden bowl full of incense" are "the prayers of the saints" (Revelation 5:8, cf. Revelation 8:3) which infuse upwards towards the altar of God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglo-Catholic, and Old Catholic/Liberal Catholic churches, incense is used at virtually every service. (sourced from wikipedia) Therefore to claim that incense is not biblical doesn’t necessarily seem to be 100% the case. but i’m not sure what exactly to conclude from this, as personal convictions are important. i definitely think in this day and age incense has been repurposed for practises involving witchcraft and therefore i can understand the concerns. but i also think it’s important to acknowledge there is no demonic qualities innate to the incense itself per say, and it has been used in church history and still in some churches today.
THANK YOU! As a former catholic she sounds so ignorant it's hard for me to take her seriosuly. I gew up attending mass where incense is burnt and part of prayer.
Friend, in my humble opinion, if more people would change their focus from stuff like incense burning, to having a genuine relationship with the Lord Jesus from the heart with obedience to His teachings, who is the final word in salvation, you would find a lot of these topics are irrelevant and a waste of time.
@@BrianAnderson82 Indeed!!! The rest seems all very performative Christianity. “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven."
Not me having the same experience with incense… I had a feeling I shouldn’t buy it but got cherry scent instead. Immediately when I got home and burned it, it felt so so wrong and I got sick.. didn’t think much about it again until your podcast and am throwing it away RIGHT NOW
I agree about sage because it’s a Native American practice but incense is biblical. The priests burned incense in the temple where the Holy of Holies dwell, the book of Revelation speaks of bowls of incense in heaven. So I don’t think incense in and of itself is bad. But if it was causing a sister to stumble, you were absolutely right to put it out. ETA: Absolutely go with what the Spirit is convicting you about though. If you’re convicted by the Spirit, then to continue is sin for you. If the Lord convicts me, I’d absolutely throw it away in an instant. My house smelling good isn’t worth my relationship with God. Personally, currently, I have peace but I’m open to the Spirit leading me differently.
Friend, all of what you are referring to was in the OT times. The genuine believers of today live under the new covenant which is Jesus Christ and belief in Him. He is far superior to the Levitical system. As He is the High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. A right relationship with Him should be the focus and not something as meaningless as incense.
@@BrianAnderson82 The focus of my worship is absolutely Jesus Christ and I 100% agree that He is above all things and so as I said, if He called me to give up incense because He took exception with me burning it in my home as an air freshener, then I absolutely would. I do not however feel personal conviction that there’s anything wrong with it as I’m not using it as part of worship. It merely is a fragrance I enjoy scenting my home with. If someone else feels differently in their conscience, I certainly would never try to force or convince anyone to use anything they’re not comfortable with and if someone in my home took exception, as a sister-in-Christ not wanting to cause anyone else to stumble I’d have zero issues extinguishing it. But I do 100% agree that we need nothing else in worship or any other “tools” or anything other than the Word of God and a relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. By Grace through Faith in Jesus is the one and only way.
@@sarahsunshine78 surely only the Lord can judge what you say and do. But I hope for your sake it is the truth. Peace be to you in the Lord Jesus Christ. Farewell! ❤️
@@BrianAnderson82 I do appreciate your concern. I can tell it comes from a place of love and not condemnation. Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
I love this podcast so much! I’m just wondering what the difference is between the incense found in the OT (Exodus 30:34-35) vs what people burn today? Incense were used throughout the OT in worship but I’m sure people twisted its use for other worship throughout history. I’m thinking that maybe incense were to be used only by the priests (Levites) during worship and sacrifices? I could be wrong.
Hi friend, I hope you understand that Jesus is superior to the Levitical priests and therefore is the last word in salvation. Incense is not needful nor relevant. God bless!
I freaking love you so much!!!! How do I tell a friend who is wanting to go to an "astrologist" to find guidance and is soon entering a marriage where this is accepted. their hearts are open to different ideas outside of the faith but they still go to church and pray together. I am always praying about it and giving it to God but when she talks about the astrology and ultimately witchcraft is it appropriate for me to offer guidance or judgment? Maybe if she isn't fully in her walk with Jesus maybe I should stay out of it and give it to god?
Can family members visit from heaven? Or is that the belief of ghosts? Sometimes my deceased grandmas dolls shake and I’ve always told myself it’s her visiting. If that demonic or her visiting me from heaven?
I remember you said you haven’t read the whole Old Testament. I think your perspective on incense will evolve when you have read that, and recall the book of Revelation, and start to learn about how incense was used in the early church, and is still used in Orthodox Churches today. We often use Frankincense and Myrrh, which you will remember from the gifts in the Gospels.
Hey, so was just reading exodus! Earlier I did comment how I thought I saw this in Leviticus or Numbers, but I actually read about it in exodus when they were talking about creating the arc of the covenant, and all that was to be in the tent of meeting. There is an alter for incense that was made as well as oils and the spices used to create the incense. Now with that being said, I still agree with the incense that were in your home. I think the things made now are really harmful to our health and maybe that’s why you were being convicted, idk, I don’t much like incense sticks either, and I do feel the psalm on our prayers rising like incense is a beat of a weak argument for it. lol! But it is still there in the Bible, and I still love everything your saying ally, so don’t be mad. lol! I’m just curious what your response to this would be?
Thank you Jesus for your Holy Spirit that fills your children to be able to spread your word this way! The one and only truth! (I want a wife who’s this eager to seek the lord 🙏🏽)
thank you very much for this video 🫶🏼 any advice on how to have a talk with someone who lights sage/is interested but not actively participating in this stuff?
@@tessb.1576 So glad you asked. Gods word is so wonderful and true. There are a plethora of scriptures that one could use regarding things of this world. I will bring to mind two examples. 1. James 4:4 Friendship of the world is enmity with God. 2. Jesus said that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Can you see how altering your natural appearance would fall under just these two verses? Psalm 139:14 I am wonderfully and fearfully made.
@@BrianAnderson82 Amen, thank you brother. I will look into these verses and also remember that God doesn't make mistakes this means even our blemishes, wrinkles, etc - is not a mistake and getting older/aging is actually a blessing. I want to see myself the way God sees me and less how the world sees me or even how I see myself. I want to age gracefully and grow older WITH God and my walk with Him. I want to grow in wisdom and know that my identity does NOT come from my looks but my identity is found in Him and Him alone. The Lord JUST put this verse in my heart as I was typing this!! Wow!! Thank you Holy Spirit. "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.' -Proverbs 31:10 God bless you, brother. Appreciate you asking me and reaching out in love.
Hi I have a question, is MBTI giving idol worship? Cuz it’s about our personalities and things like that, is the MBTi thing related to astrology, medium…? Anyway luv this episode 🤎
Is there a way you can post all that Ashley found in your home that we shouldn’t have? The things you thought that didn’t have meaning. I had no idea with those incense. Can you include in your notes all scriptures you talk about in your podcast ❤
The crystals I think really need a deep dive bc diamonds are technically crystals so do we not use any ever , cause my grandma has a few beautiful large amethyst clusters and I’m pretty sure she only has them because they are beautiful and add beauty to her house , so does just owning amethyst or quarts because they are beautiful on their own the same as buying them to use for witchcraft and are they bringing in demons just because they are in my house on a shelve ?
Hey Christ, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
I’m 18 minutes in I paused right now to ask this because it made me curious but what about crystals? I’ve never purchased a sole crystal/rock but I’ve wanted to because I think they make cute decor but is that also witchcraft/a door? Genuinely curious if someone from the comments can answer because I do have jewelry that are like those rocks like carnelian and whatever
Jesus cares about you and loves you and wants you to have a red hot relationship with Him from your heart as first priority. None of the other stuff like incense or crystals are relevant. All your heart with obedience is sufficient for Him.
Ally, we love you! There are so many scriptures where the Israelites used incense, even in heaven. Exodus 30:7-8, God instructs the Israelites how he wants the tabernacle’s alter for sacrifices. It says, “And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations.” The Lord is beautiful & He likes things that smell nice. But Satan comes and perverts everything. So someone who used incense to glorify Satan, would be triggered. But God created incense.
God bless you sister in Christ, thank you for sharing!! I have a NIV version Bible also (it sounds like that’s what you’re reading from) and the NIV has removed some scripture including actual words from Jesus 🤯😳 Go look and see..you won’t find Matthew 17:21! God had me make a UA-cam short video about the different versions and I showed people where they literally omitted some scripture. 😢 I just wanted you to know because I know you want to learn everything from Jesus, WE ALL DO and this is so sneaky and deceptive of them to take His words out! ua-cam.com/users/shortsCvmio3v0HwI?feature=shared
Me personally I would say no but only don't wear it if you feel conviction from the Holy Spirit and then proceed from there. However I think it would benefit you. I've been changing what I watch and things I listen to for the past few months and it's been a life change like even down to what you wear as well. But hopefully this helps and spend time in the secret place with God and ask him what he thinks you should eliminate from your wardrobe or anything else in your life, it's not always specifically clothes but sometimes it can be. But God bless ❤
Ask yourself, how is that needful or useful in your relationship with Christ? If you know the truth, you would know he requires your heart, soul, mind and strength and obedience. Why not buy a T shirt that screams Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords? That’s the truth, right?
You’re crazy, just because someone burns incense in their home does not mean they are dabbling in something evil. Just because they burn incense in their home does not mean they are idolizing anything. I guess maybe we shouldn’t burn candles either??? And there is nothing wrong with being in a cemetery and talking to the dead there’s nothing wrong with that. My family we love cemeteries we go to the cemeteries and see the beautiful tombstones, honor Those people that have passed and we say the date every time because whether you want to believe it or not there are spirits. that have not passed over yet. They may be dealing with something here that they’re just not ready to let go. There’s nothing evil with that. It’s just what it is. And telling those spirits, the date is not evil. I’m doing nothing evil. When I go and sit at my grandmother‘s grave and talk to her, I’m not doing anything evil. I just miss my grandmother and I wanna talk to her. Maybe you need to do just a little bit more research and stop making people feel like they’re doing something wrong when they’re not. Jesus is my savior. He is my Lord and he is my father and I am not doing anything evil by burning incense in my home to make it smell good. I’m not idolizing anything when I do so. And I’m definitely not trying to raise the dead or do anything evil when I speak to those in a cemetery. And if it was wrong, God would make sure that I felt that it was and I have not once felt that. I thought I would give your podcast a try But after listening to this one, I won’t be listening again. You are spreading false truths mixed with real truth. And that’s just as bad as spreading all false truth.
There’s nothing wrong with incense ❤ Satan perverts what the Lord has created to make us feel like it’s Satanic. Read in your word for yourself, Sister Revelation 8:4 ESV And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Luke 1:9 ESV According to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. Leviticus 4:7 ESV (God instructs the Israelites regarding the alter of sacrifices) “And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord that is in the tent of meeting, and all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” Also, be very careful about what you teach, beloved Sister. Really ask the Lord about the accuracy of everything. Teachers are judged more harshly ❤ James 3:1 ESV Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.
Astrology deceives you into idolatry. Prophetess Tiphani Montgomery put it great idolatry is anything you love more than you obey God. Amos 5:25 mentions a demon which is also referred to as the planet Saturn
I really really need an episode for what a christian home “looks like” and how to invite the Holy Spirit into it and how to anoint it and things like that
I love it so much when someone asks their friend or family member who has found Jesus, “who are you?” It truly shows how much Jesus changes you and your view on life.
Its because they are not the person they were and they become confused and can't wrap thier head around the fact Christ changes us that much. I look at it as a good thing
.
So excited to hear this! I use to love astrology, meditate with crystals, chakras, reiki, do full moon/new moon manifestation rituals. Now I’m reborn and left that behind!🙏🏼
Praise the Lord! ❤
Glad you got out.
but when these practices are used for the light, to give glory back to God…..
@@lazyinfluencers being a medium or psychic isn't glorifying God.

I am so glad you were vulnerable and honest about your story because it’s super relatable! I think we can all relate to trying to “hold on” to something not of God and justify it in a sense all while ignoring the truth that it isn’t good for us and needs to go. It’s also easy to compare our spiritual lives with others, for example, I know several Christian’s that I would consider super “strong” Christian’s, that celebrate Halloween, and I’ve felt a personal conviction not to anymore (which is super hard when you have a 3&4 year old, it’s not even about myself as an adult, it’s about explaining to them why we aren’t trick or treating etc) and I’ve found myself comparing my life to others, like “my pastor let’s his kids do this or that or celebrate this or that” but I have to follow the leading and discernment of the Holy Spirit, NOT follow other humans!
The lace long sleeve under an oversized t-shirt is such a vibe! I'm gonna try that :) Thank you 💕

thank youu I’m happy to hear from a fellow Orthodox Christian! The moment I heard the implication of incense being bad/idolatry I was like “…nope.”
THANK FOR SHARING YOUR POV!! Incense is definitely Biblical and can be used in a ways to glorify God. Nonetheless, the Holy Spirt convicts people differently so I understand that as well. The smell of incense is too strong for my liking so I prefer candles. Regardless, it's so important to do all things to the glory of God as 1 Cor 10:31 says.
“THE LORD has defeated death and sin!” YESS ALLYYYY!! love you and you passion for Christ !❤
“In the Bible, incense is often associated with worship and prayer. It was used in the Old Testament as part of the sacrificial system and in the tabernacle and temple rituals. The burning of incense symbolized the prayers of the people rising up to God as a pleasing aroma.
- **Psalm 141:2 (NIV)**: "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice."
This verse from Psalms illustrates the connection between incense and prayer, highlighting the desire for our prayers to be pleasing to God. While the specific use of incense in worship may vary among Christian traditions today, the symbolic significance of incense as a representation of prayer and worship remains a powerful reminder of our communication with God.”
In addition to Psalm 141:2, there are several other scriptures in the Bible that mention incense:
1. **Exodus 30:34-38 (NIV)**: These verses describe the specific instructions given by God to Moses regarding the composition of the sacred incense to be used in the tabernacle.

3. **Luke 1:9-10 (NIV)**: This passage describes the story of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, who was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense while the people prayed outside.
These verses highlight the significance of incense in the worship practices of the Old Testament and its symbolic representation of prayer and worship in the New Testament.
came to the comments looking for this!! well said!
Exodus 30 also says ”Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy. Anyone who makes incense like this for personal use will be cut off from the community.”
I’m totally not implying that we’re still held to that standard and I’m still trying to read and learn about all of it myself, but Jesus’ death/resurrection tore the veil and the Law has been fulfilled. It is no longer necessary to burn incense to approach God. There’s a specific formula God told them to use in the Old Testament ONLY in the tabernacle and after Jesus came it was no longer necessary. I do get your point, but even back then it was forbidden outside of the tabernacle.
@@reaghanblake all i know, is incense is not meant for evil when used in a catholic mass. imma keep doing what im doing as far as church goes :)
@@reaghanblakeand to add on top of that it was only the priests that were allowed to enter inside the tabernacle to place the incense on the altar for it to burn and be the connection between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies as it would rise and fall over the veil onto the Mercy seat. Additionally, if I remember correctly, the incense was to only burn from coals taken from the fire that God created at the Brazen Altar and all other strange fire was forbidden to be used… so between “strange” fire and the use by the priests it may be implied that it’s off limits otherwise since there were such detailed instructions for the operation of the Tabernacle.
The conviction!!! Sis, this is powerful!!! I'm definitely one of the people who needed to hear this. I've always loved watching ghost adventures and stuff like it and recently when I'd watch I'd feel that tug to not watch it but would just make an excuse and watch it anyway. Literally before tuning in to watch this video I was watching a ghost hunting show, ignoring the nudge to not watch these things.🥴Everything you described is everything I've been feeling, God knew I needed this today. Thank you so much for being such an obedient woman of God, and allowing the Spirit to speak through you. He is so so good!🙏
Sister, I needed to hear this. Ive let go of all things zodiac recently because I just always got an off feeling about it sorta like a voice in my head and I didn’t realize that even if you don’t mean the intention that it is, it still is exactly that. I feel answered if that makes sense.
We have such a similar faith story that it's actually really scary. A few years ago, I had to dispose of many items you discussed during this episode. I was so naive. The enemy wants you to feel like you have some control and insight into your future when these things are not yours to worry about.
Tarot cards is something I struggle badly with. It’s hard to pull away from it , I get very tempted to watch it some days. I will continue to pray 🙏 to God.
Babe grab the coffee - a new episode of CWCOI just dropped 🎉
I'm an ex new ager and born again Christian and your videos I just love! I also ask "why" about so many things and love to just have knowledge lol which my mind is full of nonsense knowledge. I am on fire for God right now and binging your videos, ahhhh!!! I take notes, lol you are so lovely! I sent you a direct message on Instagram as I also had a near death experience in August. I hope you and everyone watching has a blessed day! ❤
YES! A new episode from Ally 😍 I will be watching after I grab my coffee & spend my quiet time with Jesus in the Word! 🙏🏼 Thank you sister 🤍
The second you said triangle rock…… I literally had one right next to my phone that I’ve kept as decor on my desk for so long….. thank you ally I needed to hear this
I truly hope you cleansed yourself from it and repented and asked for forgiveness in the name of the Lord Jesus. ❤
“It’s giving Illuminati had me cracking up lollll
Ally, I just have to say that I have tried many many times to fall asleep to your podcast at night. But every time I try, I just get too invested and keep listening. Love your podcast so much, lol!
It’s like the enemy knew God’s plans for you and started trying to block you from it before your breakthrough. God broke through like yea bro that’s enough.
I LOVE YOUR STUFF❤❤ but i saw your shoes on the couch. And that triggered me.😂 and can you do one about yoga.
Ally! I so needed this. I was just talking to God about this. Thank you!!
Don't apologize for being blunt when it comes to warning others. Yes others might feel judged and offended, but that can't be avoided. Stand strong Ally.
This episode helped me explain to my friends what I already knew!
I’m loving all these episodes , and i love how many verses you read. If you put the verses on the screen it would be cool too 🫶🏼 i kept pausing and rewinding trying to get everything on paper lol
Such a powerful session Ally, it' something that I needed to hear as there are people, I know who participate in these demonic activities and it made me uncomfortable 💛Looking forward to what you bring every week x
Girl!!! I just watched another UA-camr that was inspired by you to talk about God. Always know that through you and your platform God is reaching so many people. She saw you and now is telling others about God!! I am so excited to see how He will continue to spread the gospel!!!
Loved this episode and felt so good saying amen accidentally at the same time with Ally at the end of the vid 😂 💕🙏🏻
I am so very grateful to have found this podcast and listening to them is a blessing. The lord had already gave me these revelations but hearing it and basing it on experiences and the scriptures is so strong, and it will help me as I try and shed light on the practices of those around me, anyway thank you Ally, be blessed ✨♥️🙏🏻
I’ve been so attached to astrology, I put so much effort into learning everything I could about it. I own a mejuri Sagittarius necklace that I would never take off. I’m going to replace it with a cross now🤍✝️
Been waiting for this for 5 days! I'm so excited to hear this, it's unbelievable. God is good. Thank you so much for your passion and your tireless work. Keep walking with Jesus and taking us along for the ride. ✝🙏
This was the message, sis!! Proud of you for speaking truth.
SO GOOD. Thank you ❤❤
Watching this to stay focused as I prepare all my old metaphysical stuff to be sold. I have cards and crystals and books etc. and even though the Lord stopped me from using any new age stuff like 2 years ago and it’s all been in storage, it’s time to purge all the old. I will not bring this into my future household. As for me and my house we will served the Lord. Amen.
Myself and My daughter have always asked why and "because I said", just does not compute.
Such a good video!! Thank you Ally and thank you Jesus!! Have a blessed Sunday 🙌🏼🤗♥️
Take heed, and beware of covetousness.
so glad you SPECIFICALLY talked about incense. I personally felt convicted of this too while I was considering using it again. I’m taking this as my sign not to as I resonated with every word! the smell alone could trigger memories back to when I dabbled in new age practices. it’s also not necessary for prayer either.. so why bother when we have candles and oil diffusers :)
If you ever go to Mexico don’t take part in their Mayan ceremonies. It is an open door. I had a nightmare/dream after my first trip to Cancún and a spiritual battle because I took part. Never again.
That is the longest mic holder I’ve ever seen! 🎙️
and honestly tarot reading has become so popular. It is hard to avoid even on UA-cam. I’ve had to put up a lot of barriers because I used to dabble in it to edit, becomes very addicting, but every time it would change my personality and I would do things like drinking or binging without even knowing it for those who believe God never lets that light completely go dark I think my curiosity for witchcraft started when I started Harry Potter series
Also struggling with nightmares legit every night the closer I’ve gotten to Jesus the tarot cards I threw away will show up or they’ll be super sexual since becoming celibate the enemy is so annoying
So true! I feel this way about the followers of Christ who celebrate Halloween 🥴
Thank you so much for this episode.
13:00 oh my goodness, I was thinking just before that, well maybe incense isn’t bad if I buy a good kind and whatever literally after I left my other comment and then literally the next words out of your mouth “ I’m convicting someone right now” my mouth DROPPED it was like you read my mind
Big love from Rwanda!♥ Ally
my question is, in the Old Testament, sage & incense was used to worship & sacrifice for the Lord. So with knowing that, is it still bad ?
Amen💓☀️
Wow the way satan was manipulating my thoughts about zodiacs were absolutely the same. It was using that passage about three wise man, and I would argue that the stars brought them to Christ so how could it be wrong and it is a creation of God and it helps me know my flaws… so thank God I got decernment about it and now you also said that it still is witchcraft. Thank you for putting out this content. It helps a lot. I know Jesus is gifting us this type of gifts. I really can’t wait to find new uploads of your videos 🫶🏻💓💓💓 thank God
You should order a Berger Lamp! It’s not actually a lamp, that’s just the name of it. It’s a liquid that cleans the air and they have every scent you can imagine. It was originally developed for hospitals. I love mine!
I love this!!! Ugh, your podcast is absolutely amazing!!! What Bible do you have?!
I was wondering the same thing.
The Israelite priests used incense on a special alter at the separation curtain from the most holy place. Later Jesus offers fervent prayers “like incense “ because God enjoys our prayers as we would enjoy nice smelling incense. The lie about incense now is that it’s “necessary“ for prayers when in fact our prayers are LIKE incense to God. Prayers bring him an enjoyable aroma. It was only meant to be symbolic
My favorite day of the week
Please make a video on objects you didn’t know were crystals, etc!
Girl you gotta read Exodus! Jen Wilkin has an AMAZING study on it.
This episode was amazing 🔥
This was great! You’re adorable, the weed whackers 🤣😅
Yessssss love this ally!🔥 hallelujah praise Jesus 🔥
Can you make a video on how to go to war for someone in prayer
Girl, let Exodus be the next book you read!! SO many good stories like Abraham & Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses... it's my fav OT book!
Need to clarify- Genesis ends with Joseph, Exodus starts with Moses but the story of Moses and the exile out of Egypt is SO GOOD!
Frankincense and myrrh was used in the Bible and used in Christian Greek Orthodox church’s
Such a good episode with a lot of wisdom and truth that needs to be told. Thank you so much Ally. I have told many friends that those spirits they want to connect with, is not their gran or dad or whoever, but a demon that knew all about that person and their own life. So please do not try to connect. Also, my dad passed away in 2016 and I would love to connect with him, but he is asleep and will be resurrected with the 2nd coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. When Jesus returns, the graves will open and His children will be woken up to go home with Him. Ess 9:5, Job 14:10-12, Ps 13:3, Dan 12:2, 1 King 2:10, Rev 14:13 and my fav John 11: 11 - 14, John 5: 28 - 29.
such a good episode with so much to learn but i do think it’s important to acknowledge that there is nothing innately wrong with incense itself. i’m not sure what to make of this information but i do think it is important to consider when thinking about this topic:
Incense has been employed in worship by Christians since antiquity, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church/Eastern Catholic Church, Orthodox Christian churches, Lutheran Churches, Old Catholic/Liberal Catholic Churches and some Anglican Churches. Incense is being increasingly used among some other Christian groups as well; for example, the Book of Worship of The United Methodist Church calls for incense in the Evening Praise and Prayer service. The smoke of burning incense is interpreted by both the Western Catholic and Eastern Christian churches as a symbol of the prayer of the faithful rising to heaven. This symbolism is seen in Psalm 141:2: "Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight: the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice." Also in the Revelation of John, incense symbolises the prayers of the saints in heaven - the "golden bowl full of incense" are "the prayers of the saints" (Revelation 5:8, cf. Revelation 8:3) which infuse upwards towards the altar of God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglo-Catholic, and Old Catholic/Liberal Catholic churches, incense is used at virtually every service.
(sourced from wikipedia)
Therefore to claim that incense is not biblical doesn’t necessarily seem to be 100% the case. but i’m not sure what exactly to conclude from this, as personal convictions are important. i definitely think in this day and age incense has been repurposed for practises involving witchcraft and therefore i can understand the concerns. but i also think it’s important to acknowledge there is no demonic qualities innate to the incense itself per say, and it has been used in church history and still in some churches today.
THANK YOU! As a former catholic she sounds so ignorant it's hard for me to take her seriosuly. I gew up attending mass where incense is burnt and part of prayer.
Friend, in my humble opinion, if more people would change their focus from stuff like incense burning, to having a genuine relationship with the Lord Jesus from the heart with obedience to His teachings, who is the final word in salvation, you would find a lot of these topics are irrelevant and a waste of time.
@@BrianAnderson82 Indeed!!! The rest seems all very performative Christianity.
“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven."
Not me having the same experience with incense… I had a feeling I shouldn’t buy it but got cherry scent instead. Immediately when I got home and burned it, it felt so so wrong and I got sick.. didn’t think much about it again until your podcast and am throwing it away RIGHT NOW
COME ON!!!! Preach the Word of the Lord!!!!!!!!
I would light insence for smell purposes. But there was a time where I have sage and will burn it and have crystals and look up that witchcraft stuff
I agree about sage because it’s a Native American practice but incense is biblical. The priests burned incense in the temple where the Holy of Holies dwell, the book of Revelation speaks of bowls of incense in heaven. So I don’t think incense in and of itself is bad. But if it was causing a sister to stumble, you were absolutely right to put it out.
ETA: Absolutely go with what the Spirit is convicting you about though. If you’re convicted by the Spirit, then to continue is sin for you. If the Lord convicts me, I’d absolutely throw it away in an instant. My house smelling good isn’t worth my relationship with God. Personally, currently, I have peace but I’m open to the Spirit leading me differently.
Friend, all of what you are referring to was in the OT times. The genuine believers of today live under the new covenant which is Jesus Christ and belief in Him. He is far superior to the Levitical system. As He is the High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. A right relationship with Him should be the focus and not something as meaningless as incense.
@@BrianAnderson82 The focus of my worship is absolutely Jesus Christ and I 100% agree that He is above all things and so as I said, if He called me to give up incense because He took exception with me burning it in my home as an air freshener, then I absolutely would. I do not however feel personal conviction that there’s anything wrong with it as I’m not using it as part of worship. It merely is a fragrance I enjoy scenting my home with. If someone else feels differently in their conscience, I certainly would never try to force or convince anyone to use anything they’re not comfortable with and if someone in my home took exception, as a sister-in-Christ not wanting to cause anyone else to stumble I’d have zero issues extinguishing it.
But I do 100% agree that we need nothing else in worship or any other “tools” or anything other than the Word of God and a relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. By Grace through Faith in Jesus is the one and only way.
@@sarahsunshine78 surely only the Lord can judge what you say and do. But I hope for your sake it is the truth. Peace be to you in the Lord Jesus Christ. Farewell! ❤️
@@BrianAnderson82 I do appreciate your concern. I can tell it comes from a place of love and not condemnation. Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
Where did you get your shirt 🫶🏼🥰🥰 love you so much!
I love this podcast so much! I’m just wondering what the difference is between the incense found in the OT (Exodus 30:34-35) vs what people burn today? Incense were used throughout the OT in worship but I’m sure people twisted its use for other worship throughout history.
I’m thinking that maybe incense were to be used only by the priests (Levites) during worship and sacrifices? I could be wrong.
Hi friend, I hope you understand that Jesus is superior to the Levitical priests and therefore is the last word in salvation. Incense is not needful nor relevant. God bless!
I freaking love you so much!!!!
How do I tell a friend who is wanting to go to an "astrologist" to find guidance and is soon entering a marriage where this is accepted. their hearts are open to different ideas outside of the faith but they still go to church and pray together. I am always praying about it and giving it to God but when she talks about the astrology and ultimately witchcraft is it appropriate for me to offer guidance or judgment? Maybe if she isn't fully in her walk with Jesus maybe I should stay out of it and give it to god?
Could we do a video on all the things that were in your home? I want to get all the things out even if I don’t realize it’s opening a door.
Can family members visit from heaven? Or is that the belief of ghosts? Sometimes my deceased grandmas dolls shake and I’ve always told myself it’s her visiting. If that demonic or her visiting me from heaven?
I remember you said you haven’t read the whole Old Testament. I think your perspective on incense will evolve when you have read that, and recall the book of Revelation, and start to learn about how incense was used in the early church, and is still used in Orthodox Churches today. We often use Frankincense and Myrrh, which you will remember from the gifts in the Gospels.
Hey, so was just reading exodus! Earlier I did comment how I thought I saw this in Leviticus or Numbers, but I actually read about it in exodus when they were talking about creating the arc of the covenant, and all that was to be in the tent of meeting. There is an alter for incense that was made as well as oils and the spices used to create the incense. Now with that being said, I still agree with the incense that were in your home. I think the things made now are really harmful to our health and maybe that’s why you were being convicted, idk, I don’t much like incense sticks either, and I do feel the psalm on our prayers rising like incense is a beat of a weak argument for it. lol! But it is still there in the Bible, and I still love everything your saying ally, so don’t be mad. lol! I’m just curious what your response to this would be?
I watch your video every morning god bless❤❤
Thank you Jesus for your Holy Spirit that fills your children to be able to spread your word this way! The one and only truth! (I want a wife who’s this eager to seek the lord 🙏🏽)
thank you very much for this video 🫶🏼 any advice on how to have a talk with someone who lights sage/is interested but not actively participating in this stuff?
in catholic churches we actually burn incense because it’s part of the rites 🤷🏻♀️
Can you do an episode on botox/fillers and your thoughts on it after being saved? :)
Hi friend, can I ask in all sincerity, why do you value her opinion over the word of God?
@@BrianAnderson82What does God's Word say about it brother?
@@tessb.1576 So glad you asked. Gods word is so wonderful and true.
There are a plethora of scriptures that one could use regarding things of this world. I will bring to mind two examples.
1. James 4:4 Friendship of the world is enmity with God.
2. Jesus said that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Can you see how altering your natural appearance would fall under just these two verses?
Psalm 139:14 I am wonderfully and fearfully made.
@@BrianAnderson82 Amen, thank you brother. I will look into these verses and also remember that God doesn't make mistakes this means even our blemishes, wrinkles, etc - is not a mistake and getting older/aging is actually a blessing. I want to see myself the way God sees me and less how the world sees me or even how I see myself. I want to age gracefully and grow older WITH God and my walk with Him. I want to grow in wisdom and know that my identity does NOT come from my looks but my identity is found in Him and Him alone. The Lord JUST put this verse in my heart as I was typing this!! Wow!! Thank you Holy Spirit. "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.' -Proverbs 31:10
God bless you, brother. Appreciate you asking me and reaching out in love.
@@tessb.1576 amen. Stay faithful sister and the peace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Hi I have a question, is MBTI giving idol worship? Cuz it’s about our personalities and things like that, is the MBTi thing related to astrology, medium…?
Anyway luv this episode 🤎
Is there a way you can post all that Ashley found in your home that we shouldn’t have? The things you thought that didn’t have meaning. I had no idea with those incense. Can you include in your notes all scriptures you talk about in your podcast ❤
What about Incense that is used in Catholic Church?
The crystals I think really need a deep dive bc diamonds are technically crystals so do we not use any ever , cause my grandma has a few beautiful large amethyst clusters and I’m pretty sure she only has them because they are beautiful and add beauty to her house , so does just owning amethyst or quarts because they are beautiful on their own the same as buying them to use for witchcraft and are they bringing in demons just because they are in my house on a shelve ?
Decoration only is ok. Pray over it
Amen love your videos God bless your beautiful soul:)
The Ebonics is throwing me off🥴
are essential oil diffusers bad too then??
is this just regarding incense? Because I love my scented candles.. 🥺
Hey Christ, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
I’m 18 minutes in I paused right now to ask this because it made me curious but what about crystals? I’ve never purchased a sole crystal/rock but I’ve wanted to because I think they make cute decor but is that also witchcraft/a door? Genuinely curious if someone from the comments can answer because I do have jewelry that are like those rocks like carnelian and whatever
Jesus cares about you and loves you and wants you to have a red hot relationship with Him from your heart as first priority. None of the other stuff like incense or crystals are relevant. All your heart with obedience is sufficient for Him.
So are candles also a sin to use
Ally, we love you! There are so many scriptures where the Israelites used incense, even in heaven.
Exodus 30:7-8, God instructs the Israelites how he wants the tabernacle’s alter for sacrifices. It says, “And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations.”
The Lord is beautiful & He likes things that smell nice. But Satan comes and perverts everything. So someone who used incense to glorify Satan, would be triggered. But God created incense.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tour hilarious!
God bless you sister in Christ, thank you for sharing!! I have a NIV version Bible also (it sounds like that’s what you’re reading from) and the NIV has removed some scripture including actual words from Jesus 🤯😳
Go look and see..you won’t find Matthew 17:21!
God had me make a UA-cam short video about the different versions and I showed people where they literally omitted some scripture. 😢 I just wanted you to know because I know you want to learn everything from Jesus, WE ALL DO and this is so sneaky and deceptive of them to take His words out!

Christ is king ❤
Why do Americans wear their shoes in the house and especially on the sofas and bed?
Strange right!? Not all Americans do.
I never do especially not on the couch
I bought some v necks with buddahs on them its the brand true religion os it okay to wear those?
Me personally I would say no but only don't wear it if you feel conviction from the Holy Spirit and then proceed from there. However I think it would benefit you. I've been changing what I watch and things I listen to for the past few months and it's been a life change like even down to what you wear as well. But hopefully this helps and spend time in the secret place with God and ask him what he thinks you should eliminate from your wardrobe or anything else in your life, it's not always specifically clothes but sometimes it can be. But God bless ❤
Ask yourself, how is that needful or useful in your relationship with Christ? If you know the truth, you would know he requires your heart, soul, mind and strength and obedience. Why not buy a T shirt that screams Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords? That’s the truth, right?
Wait so I can’t use incense to just make my house smell good
Yes, you can. Just don’t do any foolish rituals with it.
You’re crazy, just because someone burns incense in their home does not mean they are dabbling in something evil. Just because they burn incense in their home does not mean they are idolizing anything. I guess maybe we shouldn’t burn candles either??? And there is nothing wrong with being in a cemetery and talking to the dead there’s nothing wrong with that. My family we love cemeteries we go to the cemeteries and see the beautiful tombstones, honor Those people that have passed and we say the date every time because whether you want to believe it or not there are spirits. that have not passed over yet. They may be dealing with something here that they’re just not ready to let go. There’s nothing evil with that. It’s just what it is. And telling those spirits, the date is not evil. I’m doing nothing evil. When I go and sit at my grandmother‘s grave and talk to her, I’m not doing anything evil. I just miss my grandmother and I wanna talk to her. Maybe you need to do just a little bit more research and stop making people feel like they’re doing something wrong when they’re not. Jesus is my savior. He is my Lord and he is my father and I am not doing anything evil by burning incense in my home to make it smell good. I’m not idolizing anything when I do so. And I’m definitely not trying to raise the dead or do anything evil when I speak to those in a cemetery. And if it was wrong, God would make sure that I felt that it was and I have not once felt that. I thought I would give your podcast a try But after listening to this one, I won’t be listening again. You are spreading false truths mixed with real truth. And that’s just as bad as spreading all false truth.
❤❤❤
There’s nothing wrong with incense ❤ Satan perverts what the Lord has created to make us feel like it’s Satanic. Read in your word for yourself, Sister
Revelation 8:4 ESV
And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
Luke 1:9 ESV
According to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Leviticus 4:7 ESV (God instructs the Israelites regarding the alter of sacrifices)
“And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord that is in the tent of meeting, and all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.”
Also, be very careful about what you teach, beloved Sister. Really ask the Lord about the accuracy of everything. Teachers are judged more harshly ❤
James 3:1 ESV
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.
I was also deceived by ‘white magic’ but don’t be fooled because the bible says the enemy parades as an angel of light.
Astrology deceives you into idolatry. Prophetess Tiphani Montgomery put it great idolatry is anything you love more than you obey God. Amos 5:25 mentions a demon which is also referred to as the planet Saturn
Glad you didn't get in deep because manifesting and channeling stuff is demonic. You don't want to be dealing with demons.
