Cross spring 21 April April 21 to be exactly by October no September of 2021 I heard him say denounce like that quick I was like and I know like it was God but at that time I was like the devil’s a lot like you like no literally I literally said I
Was like ain’t no way no way hey y’all hey it’s your girl Jenkins back with another YouTube video so in this video I actually want to talk about faith over fear okay but before I actually get into the video if you have not already hit the Subscribe button for
Your girl one time for the one time okay so if you are actually new to my channel I am Lala I’m from AG Town Texas Arlington Texas which is like real close to Dallas um and God has led me to start a denouncing testimony series okay so a
Little bit about me I crossed into Delta Sigma Theta sorority Incorporated in Spring of 2008 and I denounced and I always be like when did I denounce I didn’t know in September of 2021 okay so I was a Delta about 12 or 13 years and God called me out of the organization
Okay and so this is actually part two of my denouncing testimony series and I have my girl Akira on the line and not on the line but she I got my girl Akira here and we’re actually going to she’s going to share her AKA denouncing testimony okay
Okay so welcome Akira to my channel I need like a little clap little thingy so disclaimer I do not know her story this is her first time on my channel this is her first time telling me her story and so it’s really just gonna be like we just chopping it up but the
Camera just happens to be here is that okay okay so tell me about like how you got involved in AKA and Greek life and all of that like was that something like you like was groomed up into or like how did how’d that happen that’s a great
Question so actually I was a first gen Greek no one in my family was Greek um so how it’s introduced to it was um I did notice that you know influential women and like growing when I was growing up they were akas that’s all like that’s all I knew at the time I
Didn’t know what it was and so when I got in high school um I um there’s a lot of girls in my class and they were Ivy pearls and that’s like in high school organization under AKA and yeah I didn’t want to be
In that so I um I did join the one for Delta which was dealting and so that’s how I was fully introduced to the Greek life oh okay so how you end up going from like Delta I thought I thought it was Delta um girl
I know what was the name what was the name of the org you said in high school the Delta Dell team where I’m from that’s what it was called you’ll see okay so how did you go from deltin to AKA sorority I I guess just like because I was around
Them so much and I truly didn’t know the meaning like I did not know the meaning of like why people join them I was just like no I didn’t want to do this and then my favorite color was pink and like I said it’s coming from a high schooler
So I was like I don’t want to wear red so yeah so when I got more like introduced to it in my freshman year of college I was like oh this is really what I want to be yeah okay okay so did you cross in college or did you do grad
Chapter I’m telling you all know your story girl so hi so yeah I do undergrad I crossed undergrad okay when did you cross spring 21. spring 21 okay so how did like how did all that like I want to know the T how to uh get into it let’s
Get into it okay so um like I said first in Greek didn’t know anything about it so when I finally touched campus um Mississippi State University to be exact um I like I said I do know that I wanted to be an AKA so I would spend my nights
Like on YouTube Googling do’s and don’ts like just trying to find all the information actually because I didn’t know anything and one of the main things I was saying was the street so I didn’t want to go up to the girls or anything like that yeah I spent like my undergrad
Well almost my entire undergrad with like seeking their interest simply because um just every time they had a line it just didn’t work out for me and it’s not that I applied and I got rejected it’s just it didn’t work out right like it didn’t work out what that mean so okay
Okay so first the first okay so while I was there there were three lines total the first one was my first semester freshman year and I couldn’t then because it’s a requirement at the school that you had to be on the campus at least one semester again it was my first
Semester so I couldn’t that time the second time they had a line my grandmother’s funeral was on the same day they had their informational and I was um yeah I lived three hours away from my school so there was no way I could make both of them and I was pretty
Devastated so I was like you know what cool if it’s for me it’ll happen whatever so then finally that um it’s it’s my um senior Year my last semester I saw the flyer again I was like yeah finally so that yeah that’s when you know everything really began I mean of course
It really began um like when I was like showing my interests going to event um and you know slowly working my way into introducing myself to all of the girls and things like that and I must say even throughout that process it was really great like I never had like a um
A negative encounter with any of the girls like they were really nice and all that stuff and I’m not gonna lie it was something that you know I was praying really really hard about it however um I was not like in my walk as I was
Now so yeah I will say that disclaimer okay so you were you were basically like a carnal Christian maybe is it is that safe to say or are you a little bit more than that no more yeah okay okay so when you when you you know
Got online and you you know were doing the process were there any like any red flags or anything or was everything just like this is fine so what I gotta do so let’s get into the reflex so so like I said just seeing how you know
Every single time you like I like just looking back over it now like I said my freshman year that was my first opportunity couldn’t do it second time grandmother’s funeral couldn’t couldn’t do it and then finally you know my um last opportunity before I graduated and
The reason why it was so pressing to me is because I had worried I had put in so much work going to like literally rearranging my schedule just to make sure I can get to these events um you know just do everything I possibly could
So they can know my face and know my name so yeah I was like look I do not want to start this all the way over like I worked so hard so yeah that’s why I was so pressing for me to do an undergrad but um yeah so when it finally happened
Um when I finally had the opportunity I didn’t at that time of course I wasn’t realizing let me ask God like why is why it’s not working out so that was like my first birthday now the second one and honestly I brought this back to my remembrance he will do that
And when he did that I was like you know what that did happen that did happen so I believe it was it was either my second semester second semester freshman year again um on the late night I was laying on my bed you know just doing some research so
On YouTube and you know the search engine looks something like um I know I wanted to be AK so you know just something something AKA do’s and don’t Greek life how to join you know all that kind of stuff and oh maybe even it was looking like AKA chance and AKA
Everything like that that’s what that search engine would look like in some some way um a denouncing video popped up and I clicked it because I didn’t know like I didn’t know what that was so I clicked and the girl started talking and I saw that she started talking negatively
About it I was like I kid you not this happened like I said it was second semester freshman year um and I like like I said I just brushed it off because I was like so that was the second thing that happened I was like
You did you did do that now I remember you did do that and so then when so going back to senior year when um I think it was in the application process part I had a dream I’m not really a dreamer but I did have a dream as to you know
How the process sort of kind of would look like I said um first gen Greek so it’s a lot of things I did not know but I found out but God also told me those things in my dream like the exact drink that I had was literally it was it was something
That happened and I was I was mind-blown as to how God showed me that well like I said at that time I didn’t know it was God showing me that I didn’t know but I was like Wow and I only shared that drink with one other person I was like
Is that like is that how you’re gonna have to like get there like do I have to go through this like that that’s crazy like it was wild so like I said I only share that drink with one other person I was like well I guess we just don’t
Have to see that that was my that was not my thing I was like it’s whatever like I have been praying for this I’ve been working for this I won’t be letters so and I’m gonna get them so that that’s what it was and so um that was another
Riff like that I realized that you know that was another warning from God like hey no I don’t know what you’re doing but didn’t listen even okay so going through the process like just going through the entire process of finally putting those letters on my chest you know I was just
Constantly praying to God like literally praying I was just like God just carried me through just just Carry Me Through helped me to um you know get through everything I need to get through in order to get these letters um and I was having a conversations with God and honestly I
Now that I’m just hearing myself talk about it and being aware of the truth it sounds so crazy but this was my life this is what happened if you’re scared and you really just like in a situation where you really just happen to pray like that that’s probably not God because the
Spirit of fear is not a guy so and yeah those are pretty much all there is like that I can think of before getting letters like all the things that God tried to get me to see before the like the final initiation ceremony okay so when you were doing like the initiation
And the rituals and stuff like that like what what type of were there any red flags that you were like kind of sensing or anything that God brought back to remembrance that was like hey you should have did this oh shouldn’t have said it listen there were there are a few things
There are a lot of things like so much to the point where it was like while I was like going through the initiation part I was just like I was just trying to get through like I was just trying to suppress like my natural mind my natural thoughts to just like do
What I need to do to finally get the letters like that was going through my mind like some of the things like I would have to say it was it didn’t stay right with My Soul at all and I was just like at the time I’m just like
Well I just I just have to say it and so that’s what I was just doing I was just saying it not realizing I was quoting scripture and you know some words just being shaken around to put aka in it I did I didn’t realize that
Um you know when I was going in a dark room and you know going before another altar I I didn’t pay no attention and it’s a lot of little things like that that I think like a lot of people don’t know and at the time honestly I did not know I did
Not know God had to bring all this stuff back to my remembrance because I was just like like I said I was just trying to get through so all those memories were suppressed and it and it’s crazy because it’s like why didn’t I remember that like that’s something that’s supposedly one of the
Happiest moments of my life like let’s let’s like let’s compare it to a wedding when you’re at the altar you know you’re getting married you’re going to remember that your vows everything that you said you are going to remember that but for some odd reason when I was going through
Initiation I could not really remember it I truly had to ask God to bring those memories back to me to remember like the things I was saying um you know there were certain things that like you literally had to say individually to make sure that you said it and I was like
And why is that why why did that emphasize that you literally have to make sure you said like we said it individually so I was just like oh boy help me I’m sorry Lord I’m so sorry Lord but yeah that those are whole the whole initiation in itself is already like
Yeah it is no it really is are there any like I feel the Holy Spirit saying like were there any scriptures that he led you to like whenever he was like calling you out girl it’s so okay I’m gonna have to write them down but it’s so mean that I
Could talk about them yeah there’s so many like in the Bible it says that we’re not supposed to go before create or go before any other altars and you know that’s one thing that we did um there is a saying it’s like I don’t even want to say it because I would
Definitely have to look it up in the Bible but the scripture it’s literally it’s the same scripture but um literally I think only one or two words are switched around and it was a ritual that we had to say for AKA and it was we wasn’t quoting that like to God
Or anything like that no it wasn’t anything like that it was literally changing that scripture around and we don’t supposed to do that um that was another thing like I said I can get these scriptures because like when I was like going through the sit
Down with the god of showing me all of these things I was like wow yeah this is wrong and then like even when it’s like when you realize why there is like a Greek god associated with the um sorority I was like I’m in Covenant with a whole nother God
And I mean I’m not sure what scripture that is but God does not like that like there’s actually so many for that one there should be no other guy before me and so before means in my presence and so yeah in God’s presence is against his first commandment
Yeah yeah and that was the first one I was like God I’m so sorry I didn’t know and then that’s another thing the Bible says my people Shall Perish because their lack of understanding and so I was like oh Lord lit up just a little bit
Just a little bit so when you cross did you like notice like how did your life like change when you cross into AKA I didn’t really see a change I didn’t see a change um I did know like for the longest I I didn’t want to become the letters like
Um I didn’t want them to change me because I I had heard that so many times since I was like yeah I didn’t want to be one of those people and I pretty much knew like who I was before them so they didn’t like make me do like like well
The letters didn’t make me do anything that like wasn’t of you yeah for the most part okay okay that’s interesting that’s an interesting take because you usually hear the opposite so yeah yeah but because like I I’ve always been like firm on who I am and
Like I’m not gonna compromise who I am for anything and I I’m not gonna lie I did compromise some morals not extreme but it was still compromising not to the public of course but behind the scene I did compromise myself and who I am and it’s something I should not have done so
You crossed in Spring of 2021 so what happened between that and like now yeah let’s let’s be honest let’s be honest okay so um after coming out in Spring 21 you know it was it was amazing like you know I was like wow I’m finally here
You made it like I’m excited like this is literally a dream come true I was yeah I was ecstatic so about July the end of July of 21 um early of August of 21 God was just doing some work to me like he was calling me into a season of just me and
Him and I didn’t realize it at the time I did not realize that but that’s what was going on but um it was like from like I used to about um I think novem October of October literally just me and God almost every day in that prayer closet
Praying crying do everything I needed to do not really realizing what’s going on so now let’s be like the honest honest truth part and I really haven’t shared this truth with a lot of people around summertime I was seeing like more of like denouncing things pop up didn’t know why
I didn’t pay no attention I was like dang that’s too bad for them you know whatever so like I said in this time of just me and God this isolation of me and God um I heard God clearly say tell me to denounce in September of 2021
Cross spring 21 April April 21 speak that by October no September of 2021 I heard him say he knows like that quick I was like and I know like it was God but at that time I was like the devil’s a lot like you like no literally I literally said I
Was like ain’t no way no way so um that was September and so then um I believed in October I heard the game because I heard it two times clear its day when it was just me and Godfrey um I heard again I was like no it’s not God either like why the
Interview trying to give you the police something that I love so much like what like not this ain’t got it and so I um I think it did sit with me for a little bit so then I went to one of my sisters in Christ who was
Um well who was like a little bit more spiritually mature than me so just asked her about it I was like you know what’s your take on like sororities and things like that and um she she doesn’t have like any like knowledge of D9 she just
Gave me some good general advice as to how you know she’s just like the same thing that you know we have and um well we had and that you know the stories do they pretty much do at church so the same kind of community like same kind of principles right the um
Sisterhood making life on friends even serving the community like all those things we did it at church so she was like I just never saw the point of doing it I was like okay you know cool so she didn’t tell me anything bad so I was
Like yeah this is my guy this is the enemy enemies manipulate me and it’s not gonna work today and so yeah I left Mississippi and came to Georgia and um I was looking for one on my list of you know you know we make the New Year’s
List and my thing was to find a home church and so um I had been going to different churches around the um area and I just I don’t know it was really thinking and then finally in July I had um found a great well I went to a church
And then I was like oh this like I mean Holy Spirit lit like like to the T he preaching literally Bible like no not a motivational speaker but he is preaching the word I was like I like this that that eventually became my home Church in um one night
Um my Apostle he had prophesied to me and um he basically told me like the first part he told me he was like there’s something in my life that’s been trying to hinder me he didn’t give no specifics I didn’t know what he was talking about
But it’s like so because I was in the spirit I was like it hit me really hard and I fell out girl I was like oh he ain’t like hands on me or nothing I was just like out of it and when I when I
Fell out and I hit the ground like not in a bad way but like when I was on my face and I was crying out to God I know God told me AKA I heard it again I was like um hey this is that God like no way but I
Heard again then but when I got up and then I left church I think that was like I think it was like Bible study night because it wasn’t actual church it was on Bible study and um all throughout that week I was like I was just sitting
With that prophecy I was sitting with it I was like is it Lord I was like is it someone in my life is it something like what is it mind you you know I’ve already told me but it was bad so um I um began to see wise counsel on it I
Was like because I’m confusion and so we know confusion is like oh gosh so I was like I started to talk with one of the ministers at my church and I was just like you know this is how I’m feeling and I don’t I don’t really know what’s
Going on my and I don’t know the way she just like did it it was like amazing because like the whole time she knew but she didn’t tell me she wanted me to like hear it and accept it from God myself and so um it was one night
Um I was struggling during that week the thing I received a prophecy I was strolling I was led to her page and um I don’t know I was listening to her page I was just looking down I saw a girl from the church who um shared her
Testimony on her page and I was like okay I’m gonna click this and I’ll read it oh well listen to it I listened to it and I was like wow that was really great it inspired me and I loved it so then the next day um
I was it was night time again oh my God I’m just like doing something night time now I don’t know talking about it it was night time and I was led back to her page and I clicked her story and I saw where she shared a good friend of hers
Who denounced uh um another story I don’t remember which one but she had the announcement so what’s okay I’m gonna click it on look at it and um you know I watched the whole thing I think it was about 30 minutes long not not long at all and um
You know part of me like just started crying and I didn’t understand why I started crying with certain parts to grow with sharing and she wasn’t even talking about AKA I didn’t know that much I don’t remember which one but it wasn’t AKA so I’m just like interesting
And so and I thought it was so well I thought at the time it was ironic of how like literally um the story was about to expire and go away but I caught it within the last like I believe hours or maybe minutes before before it like went off of The
Minister’s story so because you know like when you post on Instagram when you share stuff it’s only over 24 hours you know so I caught it at like 20 it was like 23 hours ago so I was I was time for me to watch it and well you know
Guys you know how he’d be moving he knew he was going so I watched it and then so I shared with her that I was like so I watched that story and um I don’t know why I was crying I was like yeah I was just boot horned and whatnot and then
That’s when she showed me she was like you know that could be a form of conviction you know I was like when I realized that I was like um what was she trying to say what you trying to say Lord and so then I went
Back to her page and I realized why I was led to her page is because one of her best friends also went on her page to like because she do like testimonies too and one of her like best friends denounced AKA and I was led to watch
That video that night and I was like that’s the real reason I was led to her page that night to see that video so I watched that video and then I was weeping like I was like um this because I literally like I agree with everything she said as to like you
Know how it’s just like unbelievable as to like why God is calling me out of it like you know yeah I love the letters but it was simply because of how hard I worked for him like you know I never did anything in the name of AKA you know it
Never changed me I was never the one who went apart like I I was never a part of your before the letters and definitely wasn’t one afterwards it didn’t change me in any kind of way like you know just all the right things like you know my
Heart is pure so this doesn’t make any sense as to why God is calling me out of it I just didn’t understand so that’s why I was like I agree with this like I don’t get it and so then I was like I went to the minister and I was just like
You know what I think it’s AKA and so we talked about it and then I was like what so then that’s when I started to have a real honest conversation with god I was like all right guys and during this time this this man me and guys I’m
Not God in life a long time um because I didn’t know why like I was having these convictions and like you know like these things were going on like I didn’t understand it so from a heart of like desperation I was like God why because like you know we
Were told you know we’re never supposed to question God but like my heart I was like God like I have to know why like not you know like please literally like like Lord no like I was broken before him over this because it just didn’t make sense to me but I was
Like Lord if this is what you’re telling me to do I trust you and this is what I’m gonna do and so when I gave God my peers yes like an hour alone time that is when he began to like reveal to me the the meaning behind things and honestly when
He did that back to square one blue horn weeping and crying because it’s like I almost felt how in those moments when I was doing certain things and saying certain things how it broke his heart to hear me say those things and then like I felt that
And I was just like God I’m sorry I repented and I was like instantly I knew I got to come out of this I have to leave because I’m like I broke my father’s heart so bad saying these things coming into agreement with these things doing these things
Mm-hmm I gotta go and so that’s what I truly made up in my mind yeah we out of here it hurted and I had to heal but yeah so how did that Journey look from that from agreeing to denounce until like now I can honestly say that my life
Has changed like I feel like no no I don’t feel I know that strongholds have been lifted up lifted up off of me because of me coming out of agreement with everything I was in agreement when I was an AKA like I I truly am much happier there’s certain things that just
Doesn’t happen in my life anymore that was happening and I was just like and when I say these certain things I mean like the attention whether it was like good like well I can’t even necessarily say it was good attention because it really wasn’t but just like the audience it was
Like that and it’s a couple more other spiritual things that I’ll like talk about later but yeah my life has been a whole lot better um my relationship with God has been phenomenal like I am literally like the best I have ever been in my walk with
Christ I mean of course we know how that looks we have our moments but now it’s like wow like and I honestly I I did like suffer with like the spirit of double-mindedness for a minute because I was like Lord I know what you
Told me and I I do feel bad about all those things but it’s like the math not math and like you know like why can’t I have both yeah and so he checked me real quick on that real quick well okay so that is your testimony do
You have anything else you want to add or elaborate on any advice or anything that you want to share to to the people that are watching yes so I do know that how God has been so gracious with me and like this journey I just want to like encourage others
That he will be just as gracious and just as patient as well but not saying that’s just stretch it I’m saying that because I I know how it feels to like you know generally come from a pure heart and just truly not understand and not truly know why like why is this like
Wrong or is this even wrong but God has been placing it on my heart to share it share it like this you have people who are denouncing and you have people who are and so that means somebody is right and somebody is wrong and because like there’s no in
Between that means there’s confusion and God is not the author of confusion so if you are watching this and you know it’s like speaking to you in any kind of way go to God yourself and be like God reveal to me the truth because somebody is right and somebody is wrong so Xbox
Reveal to you like you know I’m not one that’s gonna jump down your necks and you’re going to hell you’re going no that’s not what I’m here to do I’m just here to share my testimony and help others be aware of the truth and there’s only one truth there’s only one truth
And just ask that to reveal to you that truth And thank you all so much for watching don’t forget to like subscribe and comment bye Foreign
