[@aliciahenderson7012]

In Jesus name Amen 🙏❤

[@Kiaraforxd]

Finally someone is saying something about these exposing pages they really get on my nerve they are no better than these tea pages

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

At that time they are not winning any soul to the Lord, they out here causing mess for views.

[@asiamwithraenetteleepodcast]

I been feeling the same thing they make me feel icky when I click on them so I certainly hit the do not recommend me anything from this channel button

[@thebakdrop]

Same… are they Christians? The minute I start a video and it’s about that I’m out✌🏾

[@krystleturnquest]

This is God's confirmation for me. I was studying unrighteous judging this morning, and the Holy Spirit convicted me heavily with Matthew 23. The Holy Spirit even convicted me about how i felt the church members of this new church I'm going to, was going to perceive me. I'm a new Christian and a former lesbian and I dress a certain way. In my mind, they were looking at me and judging me. The Holy Spirit said.. you are the one judging. You don't know these ppl or their hearts, and you have an opinion about them. We really have to be conscious of our thoughts. Things we may think isn't judging or may seem harmless is covered in sin.

[@madysonskyymakeup174]

The fact that soooo many of your podcast drop within the same week/ time span of what I am experiencing and questioning concerning myself is nothing but Gods sovereignty. You always seem to say what I am feeling when I can't. Your channel is so special to me because it continues to push me closer to the Lord and allows me to see , I'm not the only one that is in my head in that way. 💜

[@Surrender_all_2Yah]

Sis is at work she pulled that sword out. HalleluYah

[@rosierose4022]

This message is very timely! I've been disappointed with the "Christian Influencer and Cancel Culture Community." Many in the body of Christ have forgotten that they were once sinners and still sin, yet they are quick to call people out and expose them, just like Cancel Culture. Sometimes, it's hard to tell who the Christians are because the behavior is unkind. I've been reflecting on Matthew 7:1-5 and James 4:11-12, which remind us that God wants us to love. If someone in public or in your family is doing wrong, pray for them and talk with them-God can use them. As the body of Christ, many of us came to Jesus because of the mistakes we made in our lives. He uses sinners, so we need to be mindful of how we laugh, mock, and think we are justified in pointing out someone else's mistakes. What about the sin in our own lives? How can we speak about someone else's sin while still sinning? Sin is sin, no matter the level. We need to be careful how we judge. Great message!

I’m so glad God has given you this platform sis, you are needed in our generation

[@RaeLovesJesus]

This was great , it helped me and encouraged me to be more intentional when I am studying the word. God bless you

[@Girlyougood_]

This blessed me. I'm honestly learning no matter how much we know the truth we still need to seek GOD on the comments we need to make!

[@deniseslaughter1965]

Exceptionally good teaching and expounding on God's Word, Ashley. Keep up the magnificent work...STAY ON THE WALL! Praying God's strength, peace, and boldness continues to show up in you. Kingdom Blessings!

[@pattyrobinsonunc02]

Read the Bible & know the Word 🙌🏾

[@FemaleLovedbyGod]

Thank you for supplying with scripture about RIGHTEOUS judgement and discernment. I’ve been seeing so many exposing pages and it disturbs me tbh. Have a PRIVATE conversation with someone first and come correctly! Not everything needs to be on the internet

[@ConversationsAndCosmetology]

This was good and I truly believe you are speaking of M.R. and he is very argumentative… praying for you and your journey 💚

[@keristenwood5337]

I’m so glad you spoke on this. There are so many of these “Christian” KZbinrs who think they’re doing kingdom work and they are in fact doing the exact opposite. Preach Jesus. Everything else is unnecessary. So grateful for you and Jackie ❤

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

Other scriptures for judging righteously Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. ‭1 John 4:1 NLT‬ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. You will know these false people by what they do. Matthew 7:18, 20 ERV‬ Thoroughly enjoyed the Episode and your take on it, definitely offered an invitation to self reflect and engage in discussions that were not had before. I really don't like people who have built careers out of exposing others and when you check they never do even one live to draw people to Christ or equip them but are always so quick to knock down those trying to do something for God even in their imperfections. Like did Christ call them to do that? Is that their version of go into the world and make disciples? I pray that you grow a thick skin and a tender her sis, attacks are definitely going to increase because of the nature of your calling.

[@imkimjones]

“Move with gentleness and compassion” I have struggled with this but I’m working on it daily. It truly goes back to “treat people how you want to be treated”. Love this episode.

[@love.u24]

periodddddd!!! cmon teacher meg!!! i'm so happy someone was able get up with this topic with such grace and love!! 🤍

[@SydCoopz]

God seems to always send you what He wants you to touch on. I feel everything you speak about is what I’m needing to hear. I relate to you so much! Thank you for allowing God to use you!

[@genuinenae]

This! 17:05 This is why therapy is so important. Having the Lord and language to articulate what’s happened to you, what’s happening to you in the flesh, and how to regulate is essential. Then to map those issues in the Spirit is key. It’s not easy, but it makes life livable. Each day is better lived because you have Christ who refilled every cup you raise to Him. Once you do it for yourself, you can free others. Strengthen your brothers. Thank you @lmmeganashley for answering God’s call and doing His work. I appreciate having you as I am on my own journey with Christ and life and the rest of it. So much love and always have you on my prayer list. ❤❤

[@lakishabeeee]

This is so good Megan. This blessed me so much. Thank you letting God use you...your messages are leading me closer to Jesus. 🙌🏾 Glory to God for your life.

[@lovingbrilatrice]

She just taught me something about Matthew 7:3-5. Wow that is amazing. Jesus. Reflect on my own heart. Let God handle the others, but love them. My sis you are teaching.

[@mariebright6985]

Shalom beautiful woman of God and many blessings to you and to your beautiful families (personal/ministries). Your message is fruitful and genuine. I agree with the truth you have shared. Your message along with the messages of many others continue to show us why it is important for people to understand the character of The Messiah. It is important for born again sons and daughters to study and learn His disposition in correction, rebuke, reproof, and righteous judgements. It is also important for believers to understand that everything we do must be Spirit led. We are responsible for being under the government, counsel, and guidance of The Holy Spirit when moving in our callings, assignments, charges, and roles. Because everything we do must bear His fruit, which aligns with the character and integrity of The Messiah Jesus Christ/Yehushua Hamashiach. And you have made that very clear. And that is something no one should ignore. It is critical that we understand the holy and pure disposition we are to uphold when judging matters and when judging the behavior patterns of others. We are allowed to judge things and people. But we have to make sure we are not involved in the very things we are trying to expose. Because it becomes hypocrisy when a believer moves in that fashion (Matthew 7:1-5; Roman 2:1-16). Born again sons and daughters of The Most High have the right to bring correction to immoral dispositions. That is a part of our authority as a royal priesthood. This is why we cannot abuse this right. And we are not allowed to mishandle souls when girding this disposition in our walk. Because as you have stated, our character must be in a healthy and godly posture when bringing things to light and when helping souls understand their error. We are reflections of The Most High's light. Light exposes darkness. Light does not place a soul in a position to be damaged, hurt, or injured. Light is built to show people the way out of places that can be detrimental to their soul. Light gives and pour in life. It does not take life from an individual. Light provides a way for life to be restored, even when the error is exposed. And discipleship teaches us how to move in The Messiah's nature in that fashion. Because He expresses more than one nature when exposing darkness in people and in matters. He can see where people are in their walk in life. He can see their heart condition and the state of that heart condition. And He understands keenly how to use the correct nature for that particular situation. He is not always using the lion nature when exposing darkness. He will also use the lamb nature when necessary. He will also use the ox nature, the nature of the eagle, and the nature of the towel. He knows how to minister to the needs of the human soul, especially when there is a presence of darkness that is in need of exposure. We have to care about the soul we are bringing correction to. Exposure is not about bringing a soul under degradation, humiliation, and embarrassment. It is about caring enough about a soul that we are willing to release light into the darkness that soul is ensnared in. To do so creates room for that soul to see its way out of that particular realm of darkness. Our light is built with the powerful ability to disarm darkness. This is what exposure is for. It is not to bring damage to the souls who are ensnared. Now there are souls who are making it their business to reject correction, especially certain ones who profess to belong to Christ. And there are certain sons and daughters in The Body who are given ministerial assignments to keep pressure on those particular persons, because they have others souls who are bound under the dark influences of these particular individuals. And this pressure is necessary because there is a judgement also present on the behalf of such persons. In these particular situations, the individuals who are consciously misleading other souls out of selfish and ungodly agendas have to be judged. And those who are under their influence have to be warned and shown the truth through teaching and discipleship. That is another lesson within itself. It is too extensive to share here. But it is important for believers to understand the correct posture and heart condition when involving oneself in correction and righteous judgements. Because when we approach those holy things incorrectly, we can end up finding ourselves on the wrong side of The Messiah's sword. GOD Bless you beautiful queen and thank you for allowing me to share this. Shalom unto you and to your beautiful families.

[@EmmPee1]

The beautiful thing about your walk with Christ is the amount of grace that he is providing us to learn his word and to have application of it. I know I have fallen short of the glory of God because I’m having to unlearn all of the worldly things by diving into the word of God, and the word being a lamp to my feet to guide me back into alignment, fully with his spirit 🙏🏽🤍✨

[@lulnyny8602]

I never felt so eager to highlight a scripture lol! The splinter analogy really changed my perspective on judgement. It was a green light to keep furthering my own study in the word for it has proven to look within the one and only truth and that is God's word. All the time! Truth is right there in the pudding. God bless you Megannnn!!

[@mdm20813]

I truly love your videos, my good sister in Christ put me on to you a while ago and I have been watching you ever since, I think this is amazing always speaking God's truth and your own truth. My friend said when she watched this it reminded her of me I tend to be a bit passionate when it comes to God and things I care about but sometimes you gotta watch your own self. Im learning that, so just thank you and may God continue to bless you ! Amen

[@VictoriInJesus]

Thank you. I had to examine myself again just to do a heart check. I really liked this episode and you did a great job but know even when you do something right someone still will be negative or want to argue. I appreciate the realness and authenticity coming from you. ❤🎉

[@kyeashapeterson398]

Yes listening to Pastors, leaders or influencers about word or God. As all should pick up the Bible to find the scriptures that is being taught to us. To know the Bible ourselves ! Thank you Meg❤

[@nanasrealitytv]

Let me grab my popcorn 🙏🏾❤️

[@calebcollins7090]

A lot of heresy is exposed if you just read the word of God in context. Literally just read the whole chapter and book, and bam heresies exposed. The issue is not just pointing out heresy but most people under it, are willfully deceived because they refuse to read the book that God has revealed Himself in.

[@shalondaallen9411]

This is rich ❤🙏🏽

[@mrsvr]

Megan I appreciate you.

[@RIFTaylorK]

You are PREACHING ❤

[@Beinganggelicc]

Definitely an on time word !!

[@rainehardin2238]

One thing that I've learned from my husband is to allow God to show you where you have misinterpreted his word or the direction of Holy Spirit. We all should have the heart of a student. With great responsibility comes the weight of the teacher.

[@Lindaviolett]

Ooooo as soon as I read the title I was like *CLICK!* 👏🏼

[@submittofit]

Loved this episode.

[@beautifulkingztv1318]

Perfect teaching Megan!

[@jaybird1301]

Thank you @megan for speaking on this topic and backing it up with scripture. I love that scripture in Matthew about seeing the speck in your brother eye, but have no clue on the speck in your own eye. I constantly remind myself about this scripture myself.

[@Ieasha10]

This was right on time! This morning God put the word Heretic in my mind. As I get on KZbin your video popped up and I clicked to watch. All of a sudden you start to discuss heresy! Wow! God is AMAZING! Thank you Lord, I do need to be more aware of what I am ingesting and making sure it aligns with HIS word! Side note: I have never known the definition of the word nor never used it in a sentence before. So, for him to put it in my head I was like what is this. I checked the definition and was shocked!

[@user-vn3zf4ct9v]

Megan when I say you given it to us for real. You are gathering us for real. Lord all the points you are hitting is punching at me. I always try to check my tone, face, etc.

[@BecomingZakah]

Well done sis! ❤️ To God be the glory. 🙏🏾 “Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭104‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬
