As a trauma-informed care therapist who specializes in cult recovery and religious trauma, this is one of the most sound and wholesome teachings on this topic. Powerful!!!
My key take from this is, to keep your focus on jesus, read God's word, rely strongly on the Holy Spirit, and have a tangible relationship with him to be able to discern. And not make an Idol out of your spiritual leader. Ensure everything points to jesus. God bless you, Pst Stephanie. may God perfect his work in your life.
She has this soft energy that radiates from her , truly you can tell who God is using with their character because she always comes with the word that directs and helps many people at the same time . There is comfort when she speaks , love , and adoration for God
There are not many other voices in the modern day church as we know it that our more reflective of the heart of God, the wisdom of the spirit and the gentleness of the Lord… This message is not just timely, it is necessary… If you are serious about the things of God and you want to make sure you’re walking in complete freedom from all deception this is a great place to start. 🙏🏼‼️❤️🔥
This is a confirmation for me to completely cut myself off a certain ministry i used to go to and for some reasons i took a break and i was about to go back , but my spirit was against it ..thank you Lord .
Steph, i am glad you have said it yourself that you grew up in Nigeria and you know about false prophets. Because the reason i used to keep on jumping your messages, was because i saw your surname and would think, "what good would one receive from Nigeria?". The lies the devil keeps us away from the things of God! I thank God for using you to clear my guilty conscious by say you gre in Nigeria you know about false prophets. What a mighty God we serve. You are a powerful woman used by God. It was until the Lord Himself said to me, " Go back to that message and listen to her". After listening to that message, i was in tears and repented before God. All your messages are spirit-filled, God is truly your pillar and the director of your steps and I always say to the Lord, "Father use me as you do to Stephanie". God bless you woman of, love you with the Love of God,❤😍
So timely. These false prophets be lying. People want microwavable faith. Quick answers. But we need to dive in, deepen our faith, seek the Lord’s face, and read the word! Test every spirit!
Its my first time here Am watching from Africa -Uganda 🇺🇬 Am blessed with ur teaching pastor lwas bypassing u here on Utube l didn't know l missed alot but am not too late
He speaks in our thoughts, dreams, through other people. Practice the presence of God everyday till it becomes a habit. While praying believe in your heart that God is there with you. He is always with us, everywhere. We just need to grow more aware.
Yes , I know God is with me, I do hear Him! There are just times in seasons where it seems like I can’t hear Him but I know it is the enemy trying to get in my mind. Thank you so much for your encouraging words!! I stay in my word and commune with the Lord everyday!!! God bless!!
Thank you so so much, Pastor Stephanie. I have been thinking about it this a lot of late, and have not known how to discern the true prophets and the false prophets.
There you are!! Missed you, Pastor. I have followed some prophets to hear them out but my spirit told me to stay rooted and grounded in the Word. I have been unfollowing a lot of them because I felt confusion and pride. Very sound discussion tonight, Ps. God bless you and your family. God bless this message as well.
Such a timely message, thank you for this teaching. Im glad you are speaking out, Ive been feeling discouraged but thats what the enemy wants. God bless you 🙏
So so good. I always wait anxiously for Pastor Stephanie Ike. I thank God for you as a vessel. The message in you always talks to my spirit. God bless you and your ministry
Stephanie this is such a great message for me...I pray for the blinders off my eyes....I ask Father God to mature me and take away the naive generational Spirit....I would love to hear more...most of all i must spend more time reading and studying the word of God...
OMG , This is just so Powerful and eye opening for me. I was just reading 2 Peter 2 days ago and I was telling God I don’t understand anything. I runned here from Instagram. Thank you.
Thank you for all the ways that God Almighty has blessed you. May your family- husband, daughter, mother and brothers be richly blessed by The Lord God Almighty. Thank you! I've learned a lot from you through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you very much ma May God continue to replenish the oil upon your life I have been following you teachings for a while now I must say am truly blessed, your teaching helps me build my relationship with God and also getting to understand the word more. Thank you Jesus Great grace ma
PST Stephanie we love you! I’m not even done watching (41 minutes in) but I’m being so blessed!!❤ God bless you for your boldness, this word is needed!!
I love how Biblically based this was. I noticed anyone that escaped false prophets and ministries, always champions reading the Bible as a way to safeguard our hearts and minds from deception. 56:14 that is so common nowadays it’s scary.
Stephanie I love your videos and still do! I really hope you take the time to read this. Everything you said here was powerful I normally agree with all your words however I would say pertaining to some things you said here that we should be careful when it comes to that verse about God saying “ I never knew you” because it’s one thing to intentionally deceive people while practicing witchcraft in the church , and another to genuinely believe in Jesus and become a victim of a false church. Being part of a good church isn’t what gets us into heaven. The only ones who will be turned away on that day are the teachers and prophets of iniquity who led others astray with demonically empowered ministries since we know that they will incur a stricter judgement (James 3:1). but I heavily want to caution against putting fear in people or suggesting that people innocently following one of these ministries will also end up in hell as if their genuine faith in Jesus means nothing because someone around them was corrupt. This can easily put people in a place of fear and anxiety concerning anything about the things of God and I say that because that is how I felt watching this at some point and it wasn’t a Godly fear or conviction it’s a fear of condemnation and unworthiness. because who can really be good enough to make heaven in that case? based on your stories that could have easily been you and your mom who were told “depart from me” had your lives been cut short before you got out of those false ministries you found yourselves in. Do you think your mother’s genuine faith would have been meaningless to God because of her environment? or yours? It seems to me like you’ve genuinely loved the Lord and served God all your life despite falling into deceptive ministries. Also, David did have the Holy Spirit yet still sinned. He wrote in several of His psalms for the Lord to not take His Holy Spirit from Him. How could the Holy Spirit be taken from him if he never had it in the first place? In the Old Testament, the spirit was given in small measure to maybe one person at a time not in the same way we have access to the spirit now but the kings and prophets of the Old Testament definitely had access to the spirit of God. It was just more rare. Samson also had the Holy Spirit in his imperfection. Anytime Samson would fight the verse would start with “and the Spirit came upon him” and when Samson lost his power it said the Spirit left him. Having the true Holy Spirit doesn’t remove our humanity and it is possible to truly love the Lord and struggle at the same time what’s important is the heart. Please hear me because I am NOT trying to justify sin by any means but the presence of sin or weakness doesn’t automatically mean a person doesn’t have the Holy Spirit and doesn’t know God. Living in willfull sin is another story and of course it’s also different for leaders and teachers but we ALL fall short of the glory of God every day and anyone who says that they don’t is a liar because the Bible says anyone who claims to be without sin is a liar. Let us remember that what saves us is not our works, it’s not even our holiness that saves us because who can be holy but God? It is GRACE through FAITH in Jesus alone that saves us. Our righteousness is from Him and good works will follow from genuine faith not from our own human efforts to be good. Faith should always be the starting point. We can never work ourselves into heaven and that doctrine can be just as dangerous and damaging to the believer as the opposite one that makes works meaningless altogether
Jesus hear my prayers please make a way for my children both have special needs and I’m overwhelmed. I’m holding on to my faith. I feel so alone as a single parent things are hard on me. I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for my boys like clothing and shelter. Lord as I struggle give me strength hear my prayers. You have carried me this far. I will wait on you Father. ❤️
Yes..i see very little Volunteering from a "prophet". Someone i know was in conferences with them. Trust is more than saying Listen to them. You are giving insight. Bless you!
This is a great replacement for watching movies. Thank you Pastor Stephanie for teaching this especially in these times
For sure. Please we need more of these Pastor
Yes! I was about to watch a movie but I’m so glad this popped on my timeline and someone also shared it on their IG story!
Amen. So true my beloved. She is full of the Word of God, you can listen to her the whole day,😅
As a trauma-informed care therapist who specializes in cult recovery and religious trauma, this is one of the most sound and wholesome teachings on this topic. Powerful!!!
I'm a therapist as well-- the work we do is so needed
I agree with you, this is such a wholesome teaching, I am a mental health nurse and anointed believer
My key take from this is, to keep your focus on jesus, read God's word, rely strongly on the Holy Spirit, and have a tangible relationship with him to be able to discern. And not make an Idol out of your spiritual leader. Ensure everything points to jesus.
God bless you, Pst Stephanie. may God perfect his work in your life.
Stephanie we thank Jesus for you. May this word impact everyone who would hear it
How great is our God, and how profound His love for us, that He's still teaching us today ❤️🙌✨
She has this soft energy that radiates from her , truly you can tell who God is using with their character because she always comes with the word that directs and helps many people at the same time . There is comfort when she speaks , love , and adoration for God
yes listening to her is like a warm blanket or a cup of hot chocolate. even when what she's saying cuts you, it cuts in the right way. a heavenly aura
There are not many other voices in the modern day church as we know it that our more reflective of the heart of God, the wisdom of the spirit and the gentleness of the Lord… This message is not just timely, it is necessary… If you are serious about the things of God and you want to make sure you’re walking in complete freedom from all deception this is a great place to start. 🙏🏼‼️❤️🔥

Lord please speak to me!! I know you are with me but I sometimes struggle to hear you and I wait patiently to hear you!!
He speaks in our thoughts, dreams, through other people.
Practice the presence of God everyday till it becomes a habit.
While praying believe in your heart that God is there with you. He is always with us, everywhere. We just need to grow more aware.
Get in your Bible. The more you know the Word or God the easier it is to identify when He is talking to you through others.
Yes , I know God is with me, I do hear Him! There are just times in seasons where it seems like I can’t hear Him but I know it is the enemy trying to get in my mind. Thank you so much for your encouraging words!! I stay in my word and commune with the Lord everyday!!! God bless!!
