Foreign hey guys what’s up and welcome to my channel Journey with Jesse so hi everyone uh my name is Jessica Washington AKA Jesse Lee and I’ve I’ve been laughing since I started recording because at every Forum that I was at when I was joining AKA I was the first person
Trying to raise my hand and be like hi I’m just squashing it hi I’m Jessica Washington because I was so hyped to be a member of the organization so part of this video was very hard for me to get in front of camera and and say this but
I’m coming to you with the boldness of Christ to share what God has been dealing with me with pretty much all year but officially since June of this year I officially denounced in June of 2022. today is October the 6th 2022. so here I am in front of you today to talk
About my denouncement I do have notes because I like to talk and I’ll get excited but I really want to stay on task I want my words to be what God told me and not necessarily my own opinion and before I start I do want to say
Nobody in the organization is why I’m leaving it’s not one individual it’s not a group of people that did something to me this is something that God himself told me that I needed to come out of and so within that came the Challenge and the responsibilities for me to share the
Word of God and what all of this really means first I think it’s really interesting to see why somebody wants to be a part of it in the first place and then so that I can lead you into how God totally changed my mindset and
On um being in it and and also leaving it so when it came to AKA I was born in it my mother pledged this same exact chapter that I ended up pledging she pledged when she was in college and then I followed suit and the at the time the
Cool part about it was most of her her older sorority sisters or people that pledged with her were still in the area where we went to college and so they were in the admissions office they were in financial aid that you know it kind of gave me that boost on campus
So already I was I was feeding into like the the love of it and the attention of it and um just the perks of it so there was that and then there was also just being so infatuated with the with the gorgeous girls on campus who are flipping their
Hair who are getting good grades who are making moves but people were admiring them so it was for good reason but it was also for selfish game which at the time I did not think that I just I was in my community I was in college that’s what I saw and that’s
What I loved um but that’s that’s ultimately not not all that it was about the when it came to AKA also I actually didn’t get picked the first time I I was a sophomore I didn’t I wasn’t really out there getting to know the members at the
Time I wasn’t going to forums I wasn’t party and I wasn’t doing a lot of that because I was in the marching band and a lot of my time was dedicated to that and if you know HBC marching band they rehearse a lot and then
I was so tired in the spring it was just like it just was like whatever so I didn’t get picked but I should have known that that was God’s way of saying Hey look no this ain’t for you bro but no I wanted to try again so they
Came back my senior year and I was able to be a part of it I got chosen because I was at every farm raised my hand extra excited extra dedicated that was me so I’m sure the main reason everybody clicked on the video is to know why I denounced
Again it has nothing to do with an individual person or individual people or anything like that um AKA claims to be a Christian organization however it it isn’t it is it’s not based on the principles of God and also they don’t really care if you’re a Christian I don’t care what nobody says
I could have a sister who’s a Buddhist a sister who’s um believes in Judaism um I don’t know I’m trying to think different religions but it didn’t matter nobody asked me at a forum who is God in your life what does Jesus mean to you we didn’t have weekly Bible studies we
Didn’t have to go to church we barely talked about God we did a lot of community activities which is beautiful however God was not the sin is is not the center of the organization so that’s that’s number one on top of that um there’s there’s other things such as the
Rituals and Things We Said which I’m about to touch on in one second but first I wanna show you how I got how God slowly pulled me into the denouncement of AKA and it actually started I think during the pandemic I came across a video of a young lady speaking about her denouncement
And she was very sweet she she wasn’t trying to convict she wasn’t trying to force anybody to do anything she was really just telling her story and I listened and watched the entire video I had never even heard of the announcement I didn’t even know it was a thing I
Didn’t know you could denounce from your organization I knew you could get kicked out I didn’t know you could actually volunteer which I don’t know why but I didn’t know that and so she was just talking about how God was telling her this is not like him she needs to leave and
She just said hey I’m not here to tell you what to do but I’m just telling you what God did for me I want you to pray about it ask him and I’ll be praying for you I’ll say oh she’s so sweet and I was like But I know that that was her story and I respected it because she never tried to convict anybody she never tried to make you feel bad for for what she what God led her to do she just said you know look this is my story
If this is what you want to do you talk to God you go to God and you see what he says about this but this is what he told me so like I said I went home and I was like we good here we okay we’re good great
Um and then in my heart I just said God you know this this isn’t I’m not gonna give this my everything and so to me that was enough but little did I know that a couple years later God was going to remind me like hey look no actually I do want to bring
You out of that so coincidentally in about I think it was around February or March of 2022. this year um so today’s October 6 20 22 and February or March 2022 was when one of my former profiles she actually sent me a video and she said you know this girl
Is a prophetess and she is doing a marriage fast and I thought of you because you’re in a relationship and I know you said y’all would like to be married and so I was like okay cool yeah like I’ll I’ll definitely could use some extra prayers and also in the same year
I was growing in my faith and in just my spirituality with God and so I was I was here for it so in the very first video that I watched with prophetess Tiffany Montgomery she had a guest speaker it was Pastor Ewing and he immediately started touching on idols and Greek organizations
Greek letter organizations and he spoke everything in my life that I did not even realize I was doing mind you I’m not active nor have I been active with AKA since the day I graduated so to me I was like shooting not talking about me because I
Ain’t even paying my dues you know but uh when I got home I felt so much anxiety and so much conviction and I didn’t know at the time was conviction I just knew that when I would look at decorations or paraphernalia of AKA I would have my heart would start
Thumping and I realized that that was the Holy Spirit pushing me to get rid of it get it out my house and I wasn’t hearken into that word and I spent weeks of of um sleeping and and thinking about it and obsessing with it and watching the announcement videos until I finally
Realized like maybe this is something I need to look into and so I felt the message so so personally that I decided to pray about it and I proceeded to um start to get rid of things I had a five foot photo of like three women with
Theirs holding up the sign and posing I was like they gotta go and just slowly certain things had to leave the house but I still wasn’t all the way there it wasn’t until I was on Instagram and one of my former well she’s still my friend but she she was a dancer and
She’s a former AKA but she posted on her story and that that she had her denouncement paperwork and she posted her announcement paperwork and I was like you can do that I didn’t even know you could get paperwork I knew you could get kicked out but I did not know
You could do now say have paperwork for it so as immediately when I saw that I I got her phone number I called her and we talked for a couple of hours about the process and she informed me about having to get it uh notarized and everything
Else and I was like wow it’s just as hard to get out as it is to get in and um to this day I still have to get the notarized letter um I wrote it I have it and I’m immediate but I’m actually about to do
That that’s next on my list to get that notarized but they only do it like every six months or something crazy so I’m trying to get that done but that was like it that was like God confirming to me like this is it like you have to get out of this
And so I that’s when I started the process of denouncing officially now if you’re wondering uh now if you’re wondering what God says about Greek letter organizations I want to first take you to Isaiah 44 9-11 it says some people make Idols but they are worthless they love their statues which are useless
Those who serve as Witnesses for these statues cannot even see they don’t know enough to be ashamed who made these false gods who covered these useless statues workers made them and the workers are only human if they all would come together before me we could discuss this then they would
All feel ashamed and Afraid and the interesting thing about that is we the Bible says repairs for lack of knowledge my people perish for lack of knowledge and that’s because we don’t know certain things or we don’t want to know certain things but when Once the
Word comes up falls upon your ears now you are all truly responsible for that word and these Idols that they were worshiping in the Bible like they were just statues but God is trying to let you know like he is the one we should worship he is
Are everything but when I’m what as I Googled and found these rituals which I did Google I discovered like God really started to speak to me and discover and I discovered what was wrong with it what is truly wrong with being a part of these organizations and the first one was
Um about uh idolatry on on page 52 it says AKA is the light and we gain wisdom in all things from it but how can you gain all things when John 14 6-7 says I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me
If you really know me you will know my father as well so our salvation and everything comes through Jesus and how can we be gaining wisdom and all things all means completely how can we do that with with something that is not even a living being and there’s
There’s another ritual that says to our fathers we bow what our purpose still I will for honor of thy name pass on the torch pass on the flank now the interesting thing is we’re saying die thee name what you’re saying to letters but at the same time you’re saying this is
Not a spirit this is not something that’s real but you’re making it real and you are pledging yourself to these the everything that is associated with this organization um and then it asks you if you’re willing to be submissive and subjugate yourself to the highest Authority
But last I checked God is the highest Authority he is my provider he is my protector he is he’s the one who formed me uh who knew me before I was formed in my mother’s womb you know what I’m saying like God is the one who is of highest Authority he creates life
How is it that some you you can’t serve both you cannot have God is the highest Authority but then aka is the highest Authority and then we responded by kneeling by kneeling y’all and let’s be reminded that Jesus is the light of the world not the eternal
Spirit of Ethel whom in the rituals we had to pledge uh ourselves to and in addition to that there was her picture with the candles and a and a shrine that we had to kneel to and bow to and say things to but this this woman probably don’t even know the rituals
Exist I I couldn’t even imagine that they were around when she first started AKA and here we are in this in this type of Witchcraft setting where where it’s dark and and we’re bowing and we’re pledging and we’re saying these things out of our mouth when life and death are
Held in the power of the tongue so how can we not say that this is something that we don’t believe is a is an entity if anything has been manifested over all these years of over all these people saying it so there’s other real ritualistic things I’m not going to go
Into it because uh me and this video have been having some struggles today but uh I want to share how when I was getting pinned by my mentor at the time how immediately she pinned me and I felt a rush of something go through my body
And I know today now that that was a spirit and and it hit me so hard that I fell to my knees I started crying I I couldn’t control myself it was like uh this this overpowering feeling and it’s almost like when you’re in church you and you
Catch the holy ghost or whatever and you’re you know you are so excited but you also feel so different when you leave that’s that’s exactly how I felt after our rituals when it was time to get on the bus and go back to campus and what I know now is like
That Spirit was not of God and at the end we we had to sign our book A book that basically we wrote our name in the book to show like we came through and God revealed to me when I was doing this study that that was your that was your
Marriage you were signing your marriage certificate to this organization but also creating that Covenant and that Soul tie and one thing about Covenant is when you make a covenant God Honors that so it’s not until you come out of agreement with it wholeheartedly and give yourself back to
God that you are don’t break that Covenant and God told me how are you supposed to get this Godly marriage when you have come into agreement and Covenant with this organization and when he told me that I said wow guy you were so right
He then told me go go back and read how you started that ritual and when I went back to look at the rituals I noticed that we started with prayer and the prayer we started was Ruth it was Ruth 1 16. don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you
Where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay your people will be my people and your God my God now immediately when I read that I said God said to me oh that’s not me that’s lowercase G and I said wait what
Oh no no no no I ain’t serving no other guy no no that that ain’t what this is I immediately felt the fear of the Lord and I ran to my room I started throwing away hats backpacks socks pens anything that I thought I got because of AKA I
Started to throw it out because I immediately was like uh uh-uh this is plain blasphemy like you’re literally mocking God because that’s that’s not the god they talking about they’re talking about this entity this Spirit that’s saying I’m gonna go where you gonna go imma be
Where you gonna be and we’re gonna serve the same God it’s not that God but it’s it’s a God and we’re serving it and that’s not what I’m doing and you can say I sound crazy and maybe maybe I do sound a little crazy who
Knows but I know if you spend time with God and you sit in your word and you ask God explain this to me is this of you he will reveal to you anything you ask him and that’s what I did and immediately he told me no that’s not of
Me I that’s not what they were saying and so my conviction was just that to get rid of it and to move past it so it didn’t take much for me to after that to to fully be committed so I just really want you to test every
Spirit test every Spirit I’m gonna keep saying that anything I said on this video I want you to go back and research for yourself not with your friends don’t call everybody up and say did you see this video I really want you to take the time for you
For you to to see what God is saying to you as an individual so to my former line sisters and my former sorority sisters I love you to life majority of my friends from college are Greek are in Greek letter organizations love you to life this is not a video of
A conviction to judge you to say I’m holier than thou that’s not what this is this is me sharing what God told me to tell you if you choose to leave or not that it’s your life I’ve done what I had to do I was obedient
And my hands are now clean of the blood it’s the blood is now on you on your hands the ball is in your court do what you feel is best for your life but I want you to know that everything I said was what I heard God say
So if you see me out in public this is I’m not bringing this up if anybody wants to talk to me of course I would love to speak more about it but my job is not to convict you that’s only the God’s job only the Holy Spirit can convict you
I’m the same Jess but a little different but I I’m just I don’t care enough to sit there and try and tell you you’re gonna go like no but I do I truly pray that this word reaches someone and and I hope that I can still be close to
The people that I was but if I wasn’t then that just means she wasn’t really for me in the first place so um but I wish you the best I I love everybody on this video thank you so much for staying to the end and watching
I love you but God loves you more love you mean it bye
