EP 7: Confronting Deception

[@ClockinwithNelleNel]

Seeing the way God has anointed Megan to talk about him has helped me to start studying my bible more and doing my daily devotionals. It’s just the simple fact of me seeing her still rise from her ashes, and continues to grow into something beautiful that is motivating to me and just confirms how real God is 💯💯

[@shellylarue]

Ditto

[@laquebra24]

Amen!

[@alinabowe7964]

This 🫶🏽

[@nailleleysantos3374]

Same here!!

[@tristankinney9077]

Your all idolizing this woman.. the way you view her is the way you should view Jesus, isn’t he the one who truly connects you with God?

[@bossvision]

You don't know how much power you are giving us with this podcast. The enemy never knew us he just knows our patterns.

[@quietstorm6710]

This part. ❤

[@kaefinessedya9221]

During the Jackie Hill Perry interview with B. Simone, I said oh God is about to separate these two and push Meg into purpose. Watching this.. I’m so happy that she has accepted the elevation!!! So proud of her!!!

[@kayyyjayyy1455]

Same. I feel like a lot she is saying here has to do with that. I feel like this is who Meg is and has always been. B.Simone used that and made an identity for herself out of it. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying b Simone can’t find god and be all these things but I know this is authentically who meg is. I love that she separated herself 🤍 time to shine on your own in your own way! ✨

[@brianaparnell9233]

​@@kayyyjayyy1455Fully agreed. They seemed like they were both on a healing journey and learning/accepting God but each was on different levels with it. Both are still amazing talented God fearing women.

[@StephanieLee85]

Amen!! I noticed the same thing.

[@JoyaJ-s3f]

Totally agree. God is working in both of their lives they're just on separate journeys now. I gravitate to Megan because she exudes the spirit I'm trying to get back to. B.Simone's spirit is where I'm at but I still love God and never lost sight of the God in me​. @@brianaparnell9233

[@SpiffyTiff]

Girl you just DONT know how much I need this today. My 11 year old is battling anxiety and depression. Today we had a doc appt and it was hard as for the 3rd time this year she stated she has suicidal thoughts. I watched the movie before I listened and it helped my tears. I sat down and spoke to her about deception of the enemy and the power of God and his words! She’s young but I pray she understood and is going to keep fighting! Thank you God and Thank You Megan!

[@KameshaWinn]

Bind up the spirit in Jesus name, don’t give up momma God got both of y’all.

[@queenofbilmm8296]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@JenniferRenae]

Praying with you, I went through this with my daughter when she was 13. The LORD has kept us and my prayer is for peace and that He keeps you both in His blood. I plead the blood against the seducing spirit of deception. In Jesus Christ name. Amen

[@chiamakavictoria719]

Jesus is Lord always,God is good all the time and He never fails,💪💙

[@LindaNathia]

​@@KameshaWinn😊😊😊😊

[@christianfaith5422]

Yo! I rewatched Truman show after watching this episode and cried my eyes out. The last mini monologue by Christof , all I could do was imagine the enemy saying those words to me, “There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies. The same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear.” Like the way the enemy tries to deceive us is so real. Thank you Megan Ashley for letting God speak through you 💜

[@kenyafromcali]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@julianaxoxo6584]

i agree! ❤

[@odyliaalexandrachojnacka9361]

I just quit drugs and have been having so much warfare today, this video popped out of nowhere and helped me so much ❤ thank you so much Megan! God bless you for the work you are doing, I really needed that wisdom 🕊️

[@not2thick2befit77]

Baby Megan you are PREACHING TODAY!! Anyone else get major chills during this episode? It would be AMAZING if she could get Jim Carry on this show. I would love it!!

[@patricehrabowskie9855]

I watched The Truman Show and it made me so mad! One thing I want to talk about as well is the people who watched him. If no one watched or if more people were against the show he may have been free sooner. But the thing is sometimes your prison brings other people joy because it makes them feel good in THEIRS. I will be mindful of who benefits from me and WHY.

[@Impaigegellineau]

Such a valid point!!!

[@JasmineScott930]

This is SO deep! Thank you for sharing this observation.

[@themrs.hamptonshow1384]

Truth!

[@LiLiscreations]

sooooo true

[@yinksminks2346]

Megan you have inspired me to read the Bible more again. I lost my zeal 3yrs ago and I stopped reading the bible for 3yrs. I was decieved and started to distance myself from Christ. Now I have re- committed to Christ, boy have I missed. Nothing compares to Christ. I feel like honey right now in his presence. 😊

[@michikomeira]

Wowwww! I’m currently reading the “Bait of Satan” and I literally found the book in a thrift store. And I highlighted that EXACT QUOTE FROM THE BOOK 😭😭 GOD IS SO GOOD

[@MsDayy]

We love a good thrift find. God is Good🤎

[@Teannagabriell]

I loved Megan’s advice because every time my best friend gives me advice she tells me “don’t take my word for it, pray about it and ask god”. Sometimes it would annoy me because I was searching for quick answers or validation but she was right errrrr time!

[@patricehrabowskie9855]

And I highkey love how there was no confrontation with his mom or dad or best friend who lied straight up in his face with not even HIS words. He just left. I did the same thing with some ex friends and it reconfirmed in me that if someone is POISONOUS to you- LEAVE. no closure or anything needed.

[@tatijanamalone3882]

This was definitely timely. Yesterday I laid in bed depressed and forgot who I am in Christ. I woke up and was fighting through my morning to keep going and to see this podcast about deception has fired me up to remind myself who God made me. He has given me strength and authority to fight and overcome anything! May God continue to bless this podcast and use Megan for Kingdom Assignment!🤎

[@not2thick2befit77]

AMEN!!!

[@omnib.135]

Although you are wonderfully made in his image, please if you aren’t already in mental clarity services please seek therapy. We need spiritual and physical tools to help us break through in this world. we have to be fully covered. Praying for your break through, sistar ❤️❤️❤️

[@bossvision]

When he said "You never had a camera in my head" oh my goodness that is just powerful. the enemy will attack in such a clever way that we think our thoughts are true but once you realize that the negativity is external and your mind can be pure you win

[@kodwat2134]

Since I learned about Meghan’s podcast 2 weeks ago, I have been listening to every episode. It is so encouraging to see women who strive to prioritise God above everything else

[@keelolomill3395]

The Truman show is deeper than deep. I think it's what set Jim Carey on his spiritual journey

[@godsmijita333]

You are decoding the schemes of the enemy sis! I love love love it. Im a special needs mama too! We gon take back the promises God has for us in Jesus' Name! Blessings and prayers up for you ma, from San Diego Cali!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💃💃💃🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽♥♥♥

[@sharondajackson443]

You preached a whole sermon 🙌🏿

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

I spent most of life believing the deception that I was incapable of achieving anything and I ran with that lie for many years, didn't even bother attempting anything because I believed that I was incapable. I am re-listening to this episode for the 3rd time now and I have been going "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME", "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME", "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME" on repeat. Man these conversations are so needed. I am not waiting for 2024, I am going after the life God called me to starting now. God bless you Megan❤️

[@Melaninerinmarketing]

There were so many gems in this episode, I had to send it to a friend. 1. I have to watch the Truman Show lol! 2. I need to read- Bait of Satan (It's in my Amazon cart) 3. The enemy takes inventory of your patterns because he can't see your thoughts. He can only try to influence your external environment AKA deception. Thank you Megan, this episode was a gift!

[@SwaggyPoet]

I highly suggest at the point where Megan says stop this video and go watch the movie I HIGHLY suggest yall go watch! It’s going to make this pod soooooo much more meaningful. I went into this movie with lenses to compare it to my spiritual journey and all the connections were made! Then I came back to the pod and it by farrrrr is the most powerful and profound pod I’ve heard ever. No lie

[@Janaebdavis]

Wow are you serious! God just never ceases to amaze me. Megan how can you fathom how good this is for all of us. Your obedience has really been such a light in my own personal walk with Christ Jesus. Thank you for sharing your gift to be vulnerable and humble and girrrrl can you tell a story! I love this for usssss. God bless you!!! Jesus Christ is the answerrrrrrrrr.

[@ashtonpatrice6137]

The Truman Show is one of my favorite movies ever. I talk about it literally on a weekly basis. I always say I feel like Truman, but I never thought about it this way. I’ve always felt like there was some truth that everyone knew about and had colluded to keep from me. Like I was being gaslit on a large scale. Deceived! Wow.

[@womanofvalor7]

This is so powerful Meg! God is showing me how the devil assigned the spirit of rejection to me right in the womb! This unemployed cherubim went all out to make me see myself as rejected, fearful, useless and worthless..but GOD delivered me! Deliverance was so important in my journey, the spirits are still being cast out. I feel like a new person with a brand new heart. I know I am loved and nothing can sperate me from His love!

[@walkingministries5803]

Amen

[@peterimmanuelking]

The fact that the Truman show is written and directed by “Peter and Andrew” let you know that God had his hands on that movie!

[@BeautifullyMadeShay]

This brought me to tears. Thank you for your vulnerability, the way God used you to share this message is amazing. God is so good.

[@Jemjem02]

I don’t have words to explain how this revelation has helped me. I have been living in this deception for 3 years. Intrusive thoughts, suicidal thoughts, exhaustion, depression, self-loathing. Today is the day I reach the end of the set and walk into the unknown. I can do it because I have a God that loves me walking me through it. I serve an almighty, all-knowing, all-loving, God of peace and guidance that desires only to see me at my best 🙏🏾❤️the enemy can no longer win or reign over me. To anyone reading this, this is our new chapter! Walking into the unknown. God bless you Megan, I’m so glad you continue to let Him use you AND know you so well ❤️🙏🏾 You are a true blessing in my life! Can’t wait to see what your future holds! God is working already!🥹🙏🏾❤️

[@LaKae444]

This is one of my FAVORITE films. The way you were able to draw parallels and give a sermon 🙌🏾 So, so good ❤

[@eltarda2652]

This was the best movie review that I've ever heard. Ive seen you on KZbin on the other show, but never really took it seriously. Just some clips or few minutes. Im proud of your growth. Im happy for your walk with God. May God continue to bless you and guide you. Be blessed

[@taahira_lee]

Meg you are ministering to us !!! Thank you for your obedience. May God guide you in your walk

[@noncin.2786]

Greatest movie breakdown and interpretation EVER!!🔥🔥 I watched the movie years ago but you brought it all back, with all the emotion..with so much wisdom and insight! We need to stay alert and keep those swords sharp❤

[@n1kaylaap]

Good morning everyone! May God bless us through this podcast and speak to our hearts this morning. Sending so much love to Megan Ashley!

[@womanofvalor7]

I just watched it - I was shook at the part where chrisof said Ive been watching you since you were born and Truman said "you dont have a camera in my head". I didnt know the devil didn't know my thoughts! I NEVER KNEW he only watches patterns and suggests thoughts - wow!

[@kerbyluc9797]

I've been following Meagan ever since i saw you with B. Simone. I could see your spirit shifting like a rebirth and i could tell you were in two different places as far as growth! We as young black women need these types of podcasts desperately! Its hard navigating in a world with no morals or standards and watching you gives me so much more courage to live my life by Jehovahs standards and following christ in every aspect of my life. You are beautiful both inside and out! 🎉🎉🎉

[@beyoncetheodore4687]

Another part as well that stood out to me in the movie, was when Sylvia saw that he made it out and she was so happy and ran to him. I thought of it as how happy God is when we escape the deception of the enemy, and coming to Him. Sylvia believed in truman as much as God believes in us!!! Don't lose faith 🙏🏽

[@Kenesha_]

MEGAN!!!!!!!!! You are truly being used by God and I am just glad to be a witness and be able to experience. This was an episode I will be revisiting and I will be reading James! I pray you keep sharing his truth and your light! God bless you!!

[@alexislilly]

MEGAN YOU ARE ANOINTED!!!!!! God was breathing all over this episode

[@theprettyblacknomad]

I’ve dealt with suicide too Sis!!! The devil would love nothing more than for us to take our lives, but we have TOO much to do! He knows it and so does our Heavenly Father!!! Love you Meg… Keep doing what you’re doing Sis!!!!!🙏🏾❤️

[@Genuinedom]

Megan, you explained The Truman Show so well. This is an underrated movie. The enemy definitely shows up harder when we are getting down to the truth of what God sees. The breakdown of how the enemy moves is so important for us all right. I hope you have more movies that you can break down like this.

[@NasheaClark]

This movie opened up something in my mind that revealed to me what monitoring spirits & familiar spirits truly are.

[@oshania1595]

Yessss! May God speak to the hearts of those watching! ❤

[@Tmarie0805]

Megan, I literally paused and just watched it! Wow!! Such a depiction of what the enemy does

[@sarainijenbandring]

This is Gods work. You are giving me revelation after revelation. Praise God. May God bless you ❤️

[@seektruthwithviic]

Rejoicing in your newfound freedom! God is so good. Thanks for sharing this. The peace that comes from knowing the truth is unmatched

[@BettawithButta]

God brought me to your pod today……… when I tell you I believe that whole heartedly of it was any other day I would ppbly not even be able to pick up what ur putting down. But especially today. I broke up with a toxic man I’ve been with for a yr and a half and I put him out today. I bought the 60 day devotion book you mentioned in a previous episode. Im 3/4 episodes in today and that’s nothing but God. Thank you. B/c God know I was asking you in my head how or where do I start… and boom…. God is real. Thank you for this pod. My spirit had been awaken to pic up the good book today….. and the eclipse happened yesterday???!?!? I feel like it began an awakening and purged in my life…. My God TODAY!!!!! Amen

[@MoniqueKitson]

Thank you.

[@KierstenFranklin-kl8ge]

This episode was released 5 days before I accepted God into my life and I am watching it 5 days after she re-posted a clip from it. There's no coincidence in that. God speaks through Megan for sure. She's a sister in Christ that God gives me confirmation through often. This video being one I needed to hear at such a pivotal time. But what she said at the end is real too! Nothing wrong with watching her podcast, she's a great voice from the Lord, BUT we must also seek Him daily and get in our word too! Even when you don't want to, because that's probably the time you need to most because the enemy is trying to stop you from getting into it. Stay vigilante and the more you get into your word and the closer you get with God, the stronger your spirit gets. Then you start to realize, the enemy ain't nothing more that a pesk, buzzing in your ear. SWAT THAT SUCKA AWAY!

[@ashleyemanuela]

Thank you so much for this message. I feel like I've been deceived my whole life and it's coming to an end

[@alicialynn6281]

I’ve always loved The Truman Show and never saw it through this lens. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@sonyaharris393]

This is so Good ‼️‼️

[@Well-keptmind]

MEGAAAAAN. SOOO GOOD. I LOVE YOU, God bless you.

[@lifeofamom1923]

This was so on time!! Megan I hope you see the fruits of your labor! I cannot imagine what it took to get you to this place but I’m so grateful for you making it to the other side! 🙏🏽

[@Annaay.Otay7]

God has so many ways of revealing the truth and the plot of the enemy. Even through films. Another good movie is Nefarious. I would recommend watching that movie because Its just so important, especially for believers to see how the enemy works in this world, the deception and lies motive the enemy has to break down people from coming to alignment with Christ.

[@KafkameetsPlath]

I watched this movie when I was a kid, your summary, thank God, put A LOT of things in perspective. Thank you for sharing, God bless you in Jesus name ❤

[@AikiraBeats]

I've never seen this movie, but word for word this describes how my year went. It felt like nothing was really real, until I woke up from this tv show. It's crazy how we can be deceived by these distractions that the enemy can place in front of us and make us feel distorted within the world that God has created. Man, I'm so grateful the enemy can't be everywhere all at once.

[@soulflowerr]

The book of James is amazing!!!!!! If the Holy Spirit leads me there I’m either being corrected by God or being shown how far I’ve come!!!! God is soooooo good like that!!!! This is sooooo good sis!!!!!

[@robnh00d30]

Omg. I did what you said. Paused the pod and went and watched the movie. 🤯 At the end when the show creator was trying to persuade him to stay is so likening to Satan. I was once trapped in that world as a former Jehovah’s Witness then turned “worldly”. But the thing about knowing Jesus as the truth, once you know him, you can NEVER go back to living a lie. Jesus will literally set you free 🙏🏾

[@EmergencyBeatsByCiCi]

I stopped the podcast to go and watch the movie and you were spot on!!!! I cried when you were explaining the end! God is so good!

[@Tshegomlp]

God is truly strategic, after starting on a book I've been procrastinating on, I now watch this episode after putting it off for a while. I'm right on time! It's all connecting.

[@asiajo1010]

Just came across this channel and video and 😮‍💨 Go ahead God , SPEAK TO ME through Megan.. I AM LISTENING LORD 👏🏽❤ and then I am sharing this out because I know I ain’t the only one who needed this revelation. THANK YOU MEGAN for letting the Holy Spirit use you and speak to me through you. I RECEIVE IT ❤

[@Samara077]

Wow this really hit me to the core🥹🥹 …. best correlation I’ve ever herd. At this moment in my life , I’m in the boat and the enemy’s tryna create storms. But I’m not letting go of Jesus just like Peter grabbing onto Jesus when he began to drown 😢

[@Theencouragementbar]

The fact our desires that are from God cannot be removed is so amazing. The fact that deception is so nuanced 😮‍💨 Thank God for our spirit. The enemy can’t rob what we don’t willingly give away. That movie is sooo good! Great convo!

[@BBChris8]

I had to come back to this. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who looks at movies in this way!

[@bridgetpatrick6793]

Thank you for that word!!! The enemy hasn't seen the thoughts in my head Amen!

[@christinabester3676]

I’m just seeing this episode and whew!!!!! You have made me stop watching the pod, go rent the movie, watch it and come back to the pod! What a blessing! What a word! this has truly been an illustrated sermon! Thank you❤️

[@Taylorjadeeeee]

MEGAN!! Girl you don’t know how bad I needed this word 🙌🏽

[@moonriversteph]

Im going to show this movie + your podcast to my 16 yr old daughter so that she might receive revelation of the enemy’s deception. Then we’ll read James. Thank you! God bless you!

[@ChristandLocs]

Based in NC; as a Believer, an entrepreneur and fellow Christian creative, I also had to come to the point in realizing that what God has for me (and for me to do) require a stretching that’s so uncomfortable. It’s so hard; but His grace is enough. I’m just glad I’m sensitive enough to hear AND receive His correction. Great video ❤.

[@ashleynicolecreates]

Here after the IT Bites clip. I had to see what else you said about the Truman show in comparison to the deception of the enemy. This was amazing Meg! I remember the movie from years ago and it was definitely before its time. Wow!!

[@lillie9051]

This was soo informative...so freeing!! Amen!!!🥰🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@wendymashiyane1025]

Thanks!

[@JennJennntv]

Currently on bed rest due to sickle cell, I was discharged yesterday from the hospital even tho I shouldn't have been & I really needed this . This past week hasn't been so good for me & last year I was literally in the exact same position & its so crazy 2 years in a row my New Years started the same. Even through the pain & tears im just ready for when I recover when you first dropped this I kept putting it off to watch & now I understand why I wouldn't have received this message how I am today 3 weeks ago . Thank you

[@nakishr03]

Wow this hit home. Deception from all around and yet We still can come to the light

[@brittanyrice09]

Megan!!!! You on here PREACHING!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@luizellajose]

Megan, you did it again! I appreciate your research and insight.

This has blessed me in so many ways. I’m glad I work from home because I was at my desk bawling. Continue to let God use you Megan. You are touching so many lives

[@ashleyrussell5079]

This here! I had my 😮 moments, but mainly smiled the whole time. Your chemistry with Brenda-- we just need a pt 2!

[@DeyannaTinae]

i love your channel , my friend pmo and i’m glad she did. i love how you word things and how you’re so honest and real and stuff just be hitting home and really speaking to me , i love it .

[@RyneeseBTV]

I’m only 22:06mins in and this is by far the best episode and I haven’t even finished the entire series yet! Meggggggaannnnnnn!!! God is using you in the most phenomenal way! May God continue to bless you girl!🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@arielhernandez3148]

I am honestly grateful for your podcast. Your story is so relatable to mine. Just want to say thank you, you have truly been a blessing on my journey through the Bible.

[@Sharise_88]

GUUUURRRRRLLLLL this is goooooood! Thank GOD for your platform and thank GOD for your obedience!

[@kariyahwilliams4357]

Megan really be giving us whole sermons. She's so inspiring & informative. I see it now...Pastor Ashley!!!

[@BeyondFreshwithRJS]

ALL OF THIS!! There is a TRUE awakening arise for the gospel and the body of Christ!

[@breeeLove100]

Just Perfect! & for someone who is new to the word, Megan, you are my pastor 😭

[@zekiyahhendrix9238]

My favorite message from Megan so far (coupled with Jackie episodes😂💕)

[@thaithomas4033]

This is a pure prophecy for me thank you Megan. You truly have the spirit of a woman of God.

[@gcarla8706]

Thank you, Megan! for opening my eyes with this story, to the deception that's been going on in my mind. I'm so grateful to the Lord and for your ministry.

[@tylirux4356]

I’m so proud of Megan

[@ctwentyandsomechange]

Just Yesterday I said to myself sometimes I feel like I am being watched the amount of coincidences, the way my life goes I feel like I am not really on the Truman show. Then this video starts playing by itself while I’m cleaning & I’ve never watched this show before. & I got a Word!

[@Tailord_KB]

This was an amazing episode ❤ I love how God is bringing messages and understanding through you 🙏🏾

[@kimbrown4772]

OMG WOG you preached describing this movie WOW!! 37:44 FEAR- False Evidence, Appearing Real

[@katrinamiller7246]

Wow the way you put this movie into context for us! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MayaAnja]

My prayer last night was for God to show me how he see’s me. This morning I wake up to a short of this episode on my phone. Thank You Father. And Thank you Megan for your yes. I follow Jackie Hill Perry and came across a pod of her on your old show. I thought who is this woman? I immediately began to follow you. Your light, transparency, and spirit resonated with mine. Many will be blessed because of your yes. Behold God is doing a New thing! God bless you Sis.

[@kyeashapeterson398]

The only way the enemy get through you , is through deception. Only God knew you before you were born! Megan is truly a breath of fresh air. God is using her to tell her story that we all need to hear or listen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you Heavenly Father 💜

[@William-z6k]

Very Good video of clarity on standing against deception and not abandoning faith.on working towards and in Christ, s. . Truth 👍

[@dineahynson6871]

AMAZING MESSAGE!! I’ve never looked at The Truman Show this way and now I can’t unsee it.❤

[@missionlight1203]

That was In Totality Beautiful ❤️!
