    False Prophets, God's Voice & The Spirit Realm | Bishop Demetrius Senegal Ep.2

    A prophet walked into a small church in Waxhaw, North Carolina, pointed at a woman, and exposed an affair in front of the whole congregation — down to the hotel key sitting in a man's wallet. He was right. And he now says he was wrong. In this episode of Initiated By God, Jessica Laine McDonald sits down with Bishop Demetrius Senegal — the "master prophet" training nearly 7,000 prophets across 43 countries — for one of the most unfiltered conversations you'll ever hear about the prophetic. He breaks down the difference between false prophets, true prophets, and people who are simply not prophets, why the "10 millionaires by Friday" prophecy machine needs to be held accountable, and what really opens the door when believers dabble in tarot cards, psychics, and horoscopes. He also goes where most prophets won't: the time his gift outran his maturity, the prophecy a political leader ignored right before losing everything, why he asks God to show him nothing about the women he dates, and how to finally tell the difference between God's voice and your own. If you've ever been hurt by a prophetic word, manipulated in God's name, or just want to know who's really hearing from Heaven — this conversation is for you. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Prophetic Culture Today 01:08 Life Before the Call 02:52 Hearing God Early 06:53 Discerning Gods Voice 10:20 The Cost of Yes 14:06 When Prophets Want Out 17:11 Spiritual Gifts and Darkness 25:26 Master Prophet Explained 27:50 Social Media and Prophecy 29:40 Ego and Entertainment 33:15 Gift Ahead of Maturity 37:17 Hard Words to Deliver 40:12 Spotting False Prophets 40:28 False True or Not 41:27 Fruit and Accountability 42:44 When Words Miss 44:35 Judging Prophecies 47:24 Healing From Abuse 48:49 Prophets Responsibilities 51:57 Idolatry and Validation 53:55 Trust and Self Doubt 57:23 Loneliness and Dating 01:03:09 Prophetic Discernment Love 01:07:49 Lessons and Losses 01:11:17 Awakening and Training 01:13:10 Programs and Farewell 📖 Get "Prophetic Identity Formation" on Amazon | Prophetic Certification Intensives: bishopdjs.com Subscribe and stay initiated.

    The Prayer That Brought Me Back | Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell on Running From God, Warfare & Healing Ep.1

    The first episode of Initiated By God had to start here. Last year, Jessica Laine McDonald's head shattered a windshield. She lost her memory. She doesn't remember any of it — but her journal does. One entry reads: "Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell prayed for you." What she didn't know until recently: he stopped his entire staff meeting, shut down every room in the building, and formed a prayer circle around her on FaceTime. The next day, her recovery began. That's why he's sitting across from her for the very first conversation of this new assignment. In this episode, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell opens up like few have heard him before — the night he sat with a shotgun and a bottle of Hennessy before God met him in a bathroom, the four years he ran from his calling, the five-year battle with depression he's never preached about, and the week half the country tried to cancel him. He breaks down what really happens the moment you say yes to God, how to tell His voice from your own and the enemy's, why rest is holy, and the one question that determines whether your trauma becomes your identity or your testimony: Do you want to be healed? If you're stepping into a new assignment, running from one, or sitting in a prison cell with the door wide open — this conversation was initiated by God for you. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Suicidal Breaking Point 00:30 Healing and Trauma 00:44 Discerning Gods Voice 00:56 Joy in Persecution 01:16 Podcast Launch Intro 02:49 Prayer Circle Miracle 06:21 Rest and Sabbatical 08:06 Warfare After Yes 11:39 Handling Criticism Wisely 18:29 Transitions and Opposition 24:01 Called to Ministry Story 35:39 Stewardship Over Outcomes 40:56 Protecting Mental Real Estate 48:31 Please Don’t Die Silent 49:06 Clinical vs Spiritual Battle 50:43 Tailored Help Plan 51:43 Counting Trials as Joy 52:48 Cancel Storm Testimony 55:59 Voices That Matter 59:37 James and Jesus’ Brothers 01:01:45 Suffering That Forms or Breaks 01:04:58 Do You Want Healing 01:11:57 Open Doors to Warfare 01:13:40 Why People Leave Church 01:18:55 Church Hurt and Expectations 01:24:42 2AM Surrender Invitation 01:26:38 Book Tour and Farewell 📖 Pre-order Pastor Mitchell's new book "Contend" — contendbook.com Subscribe and stay initiated.
