What’s up everyone welcome back to the secret place my name is Ashton and here at the secret place we are intentional about gaining and developing intimacy with God our Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so if you are looking to build intimacy if you’re
Looking to go deeper into the things of God you are here in the right place so today as you can see I have two of my sisters with me I am blessed I privileged to have Ashley to have Paige with me and today we are going to be
Discussing the topic of their journey of renouncing and denouncing their affiliation with Delta Sigma Theta sorority Incorporated so if you haven’t watched the previous video I definitely recommend that you go back and watch it when I will talk with to my brothers about our journeys of renouncing out of
Kappa Alphas saai so we are going to continue this series we are on a mandate to cry loud and spare not we desire that the truth of God be really just preach throughout the world so I’m glad I’m honored to have my sisters here with me tonight as they share their journey and
The biblical Revelations of what God spoke to them of leaving Delta Sigma Theta all right so just to kick this thing off I’m going to kick it over to Ashley just to introduce herself give her a brief introduction and we’re gonna go ahead we’re gonna get this going I’m excited for this
Conversation all right hey everyone um Ashen thank you for having me in the secret place thank you okay so my Delta Journey yikes okay so um probably similar to a lot of people I was looking for a Sisterhood straight like that there was a couple things that kind of played into
It um one was that you know when you’re in college Greek is the cool thing to do like we can’t even just like skip past that Greek is a cool you’re somebody when you have those letters on your chest that’s the feeling that you get um and so somewhere between This Promise of
Sisterhood This Promise of networking This Promise of like you’re going to be a part of this this like really elusive group of people who can get you places you know when you’re somebody who is uh naturally very friendly and you’re also naturally very ambitious Delta kind of
Cries out to you I’m not even gonna friend it just it is what it is um I remember when I was deciding which sorority I wanted to be a part of because yes I I was a person who was back and forth between two I’ll let you
Decide which ones you think they were in your mind okay um but I found that they were all you all they all stood for the same thing so you would find this same thing in each one of them right it would Sisterhood scholarship service those are three things who was going to think
There was anything wrong with that no one it was like oh all check boxes we love it we love to hear it I went to this like really small school about 30 minutes south of Birmingham Alabama right and so it it was like kind of perfect at the time and so
Um let’s see things that you should know about me I guess um I love Jesus period there there no there are no questions about that and there’s never been any questions about that and I know it’s kind of one of those things where it’s like well so then why are you here you
Love Jesus so much if you uh if you feel like Delta is so whatever whatever how did you get here oh don’t worry I’m gon tell you we gonna talk about it all right but I guess that’s it about me so far and I’ll tell you a little bit more
About it I guess as we go along all right well Paige do you want to give us a brief introduction of yourself yes um and before I start I just want to say thank you Ashton um we’ll get into a lot of this but you played such a huge
Part in me and my whole journey of coming out of DOTA and so super excited to be here um and just see what God is doing with you in this secret place and all the things and so yes like he mentioned my name is Paige I am from
Greensboro North Carolina um I went to we’ll have to talk later yes from greb North Carolina um I went to a predominantly white institution in North Carolina and um think thinking about Greek life started honestly while I was in high school I had family members who
Were members of AKA um and it was really like you’re light skinned pretty like you’ll be an AKA and so um something about just didn’t feel right red flag number one but I got to college and honestly a lot of the women who I wanted
To be like that I meshed well with um were deltas and so it started from literally the summer before classes officially started went to a minority program um the person I was linked up with was a Delta um and the college that I went to the Delta chapter was the
First sorority on that campus and so for me kind of like what Ashley said like this whole promise of Sisterhood um really putting hyp around just scholarship and service um and yeah that was really what kind of Drew me to it um and as far as how I was drawn out
Of it or I guess let me back up so I crossed in April of 2014 so almost 10 years ago now um it’ll be 10 years this year and so I was in college and I was wild like I grew up as a Believer but when I got to college I just
Dibbled and dabbled and drugs alcohol partying just things um and so God was there but I wasn’t actively walking out my faith and so I yeah I was just I didn’t even think twice about asking God if I should do this I was just praying
Like Lord let me get it like let them pick me not what is your heart regarding this um and so I came out of that organization in 22 and I know we’ll get into it but God just began to reveal um you cannot serve two masters like your
Time is up um and I need you to get free and so yeah that’s how I kind of journey through and how I’m here now amen glory to God hey we we thank God for deliverance and freedom that all of us are free from those covenants and
Those Oaths which they are covenants and Oaths it’s not just you know fun in games they are covenants and Oaths um so let’s talk about okay so now that we know a little bit about you Ashley can you tell us your process of getting into Delta like what was your interest
Process what was your you know intake process like and during the process of you know you becoming a Delta were there any red flags to you in the process in the beginning o what a loaded question okay so the formal part of my intake process is what you would expect there
The Red Flyer is up are you going to go yes I went um there were only two people on my line uh it was me and one other person we did not get along from the very beginning um we we weren’t friends before then we barely managed to stay
Friends through the process and then as soon as it was done we were back to like we friends so that should have been a flag in in my in my most page voice red flag that should have been a flag um but in any case I would
Say I think for a lot of people they might consider me paper honestly my pledge process wasn’t that hard I didn’t um it would have really only took for me to get hit hard one good time for me to be like no this ain’t it my ash my
Ashley Hood wouldn’t allow it now there were a lot of moments where I was purposefully worn out if you will um humiliated if you will um it it was a lot of work I mean some of it you expect because it’s like you’re trying to earn your way into an organization but some
Of it was like why is this necessary especially espe if you want me to be your sister like is this what Sisterhood with you looks like because but you want it so bad like to Pages what like how Paige said I wasn’t even praying like God do you want this
For me it was like just I just want to get in I’m working hard and if we’re just keeping it real for me it begged it was like this was a lot of money I paid to be a part of this thing and so you ignore a lot of the red flags one
Because you wanted it so long two because you’re like I’m already waste deep into this thing I got to see it through but I remember very specifically there was one moment and what’s funny is in this moment we were not learning anything that you didn’t hear publicly
Like in this moment this was like stuff that you hear on on the yard right and I remember we were sitting and they were singing all of my love my peace and happiness insert and Oop There I’m gonna give it to Delta and I said oh no Jesus
No and now now Paige now here’s where I’m at like Jesus how you feel about this you I know you ain’t okay with me saying and I went to my best friend’s room and I was like that I don’t feel okay about this she was like what are you gonna do I
Said I don’t know she was like you paid a lot of money I said I did pay a lot of money and I I felt some type of way but I said all right I’m gonna brush it off maybe maybe I’ll just like I’m gonna and I just won’t sing that part
Maybe but there were only two people on my line that wasn’t gonna fly right so there were a number of moments like that even I couldn’t pinpoint for you exactly what it was that was said I remember there was one moment in my actual crossing ceremony and it it was something that
Was said um around the time where where you’re encountering the Burning Sands and it was something about ancestors and I said I wonder if this if this is a I want to say like is this a joke to them because the ancestors they’re referring to ain’t even my ancestors
That I’m pledging about and um but there were so many moments where it was like o I don’t know if I should say that I don’t know how I feel about this um but what was wild is there were a lot of moments that I dismissed that now I’m
Like oh Ashley you said that oh you were a part of that going back and reading that ritual now as I say as an adult but kind of when you join those things in college you don’t even know what it means to be an adult yet right and now here I
Am 13ish years later springt um 13ish years later for 14ish years later and um I’m reading it again like yikes I’m so sorry God like oh I ashon I called you called you not that long I said Ashton my heart is grieved reading this again like I literally cried about this
Like things like um there’s a a meditation that is paraphrasing you notice I keep doing this because like I don’t have it’s so much that’s masked and because you grew up in church or you knew God it’s like you hear some of these things sound like Bible who’s
Going to argue with that it’s Bible you can’t argue with Bible and now you read it and you’re like they feed you Bible and they replace god with Delta there’s a piece of it that’s like and though I prophesy and I know the Delta laws and yeah who are you
Prophesying who’s it’s like it’s like giving a kid some cereal and the kid’s like man I love cereal cereal is great and it’s like you’re not going to just present them with I’m giving you poison you mask it in what makes them feel comfortable so that they take it
In Wild yeah so but to answer your question my my process wasn’t enough to determine me but hearing some of the things at the time was enough to like you know like we say like the Holy Spirit like Pricks you it was enough to feel like okay I’d been pricked but I
Did it anyway um partially because I was already committed to the process yeah you know but that’s that’s good and I love that you first of all that there’s no shame in admitting like oh I was paper because that’s a whole you know these are supposed to be organizations of unity
But you know I talked about it with my brothers regarding Kappa there’s a whole division between who’s paper and who’s made and the big argument when defending these ORS is like oh you know just that’s your experience if you pledge if you had a bad pledge experience and
That’s on you you shouldn’t have you know submitted yourself to pledging yeah so we all make choices now no one forced us to pledge at the end of the day but but you know when people who are quote unquote paper renounce these organizations it just further shows that
It’s not only the pledge process that is against the word of God um you know it is the foundation of these ORS it is the rituals and I was even thinking today you know just speaking to the Lord about it and it’s almost like the argument where you know some some Believers think
Or some people believe that like oh I’m saved by my works and so when we present these organizations where it’s like oh well we we give scholarships we do Martin Luther King breakfast is the Deltas in Connecticut just had a huge Martin Luther King scholarship breakfast
And it’s like oh because we did this we’re a good organization we’re not saved by our works we’re saved when the foundation of Our Lives is based on that we receive salvation freely through the grace of Jesus Christ what is the foundation and the fact is that the
Foundation of these orgs whether or not your paper maid um triple ma whatever you want to call it the foundation of these orgs is demonic it’s against the word of God and so that’s why we want to continue to spread truth this is not like about bashing people you know this
Is I have people that are still in these ORS that I care about and so it’s we have to tell truth because the truth is the thing that’s going to set you free it’s the word of God that is sharper than any so we want to tell the truth so
I love that you said that you didn’t have a typical process because that just debunks like whether or not you got beat up hit upside the head everybody has to open up their mouths and say these Oaths say these pledges and say I agree or I
Pledge to or I bow to you know whatever God is attached to these or yeah you know it’s interesting with the whole paper conversation because it’s like if you if you’re made then it’s like well of course you feel that way because your process was XYZ you’re not going to feel like that’s
Brotherhood or Sisterhood or whatever no wonder you wanted to leave but then if your paper’s like well you didn’t have the same experience I had so you couldn’t be committed the way that I was no were okay to leave yeah it’s like a traa it’s first that’s a whole another it’s false Brotherhood
It’s false Sisterhood the spirit of fraternity is not what the Lord speaks about as far as Brotherhood and unity and you know I I can speak like I’ve been in Atlanta for about eight months now and Ashley and I go to the same church the level of Brotherhood and just
Like Fellowship that I’ve experienced at our church alone getting to know people like Ashley and the brothers that I’ve gotten to know now the level of Brotherhood that I’m experiencing now is can’t even compare to what you know you experience in the fraternity and it just that Brotherhood is not built on a
Foundation of love it’s not built on a foundation of Jesus Christ you’re I’ve I’ve seen Brothers where you know it’s it’s okay you can get together and you know if it’s a Friday night you want to go out to party it’s cool but let a brother hit the group chat be like hey
I’m moving out of my home today can somebody come help me then it’s quiet crickets yeah was quiet but not to get off too off topic but Paige do you want to give us a little bit of you know your process going into to the or yeah um my
Process was different um so I started the pre- pledging process before everything was official um and I would say initially before I was online a lot of it was mental so the phone calls and the this and the that and I show up to places and
I’m told I need to go home and just like this whole situation of control that of course in the time I didn’t see it as control I saw it as this is what I need to get into the organization that it’s going to get me the perfect job and like
All of these things and so I didn’t even see it as negative um but I would say there were quite a few red flags when I was like officially going into the process um there was a small group of us that started doing we kind of like had each other um and so
That definitely once the official process started the line was already split from before it even started um but I would say at the time when I went to the interest meeting I was a ra and so that night we had um our staff meeting
And so my boss was Zeta so I’m in this whole mind space of like I can’t tell her I go to this um interest meeting it’s 100 hundreds of people there and I end up missing the staff meeting so when I finally come back hours and hours and
Hours later I have on my little black skirt suit and so my boss already know what time it is so that next day I got put on probation and I’m like oh she a hater like she knows I’m not going for Zeta like if I went for Zeta it would be
This whole thing it should have been red flag number one um but for me was like even more ammunition like oh I’m about to pop out like you trying to hold me back you’re not going to hold me back so throughout the process there was a lot of things um
That occur that were just demonic I remember um sisters in that I had knew prior to they’re calling me fat they’re calling me like they’re literally telling me that they need to break me down to build me up they’re doing all this stuff like I was in 21 credit hours that
Semester I don’t know why but the mental anguish that I was in for 28 of us to be in one in a one-bedroom apartment it was just like it was a lot but for me I was I really want Sisterhood like I’m going to grit and bear it I’mma stay up and help
These sisters learn this stuff like just all types of stuff I was definitely sold out um for the process and so I kind of just ate what they gave me I took the roll with the punches um but I mean in all honesty like to be
Caught fat by people that or you know just to be demean to be humiliated by people who now after we cross we buddy buddy and we on Instagram it’s like no like I know you treated me terrible um and so another red flag we go through the process the night before we were
About to be initiated we were you know hell night all this all the stuff I overslept the next morning so the day of initiation I overslept my hair was Curly everybody had to have their hair straight and somebody had to L literally like get an RA to break into my room I
Know it was the Holy Spirit trying to like mess up the day um but yeah it was just a lot and for me it’s just like I’m pretty sure at the time I’m thinking the enemy trying to hold me back whole time like I know this is Holy Spirit trying
To intervene um and so yeah my process was just it was a lie I had believers who were on um line with me multiple of them I don’t think that they necessarily had any checks they didn’t say anything but you could tell from being online that
The line was split from the people who were on there because they were Legacy the people who were on there just because their mom paid some money to the school she was a big donor and so yeah that that definitely shifted things um and the final red flag I’ll talk about
Is I know we’ll get into it but with Del with Delta there’s an oath with all these organizations there’s an oath and so during the time that we were learning the oath and having to recite it it talks about like you will not um gossip and so a situation occurs online
And my Prof fights at the time think that I’m gossiping and so now I’m being made this big example of like you shouldn’t gossip and blah blah blah blah and I remember going to one of um my Pro fights and I’m like I’m so sorry like I
Just want to be a good Delta like I don’t I don’t want to gossip like there was some miscommunication like I went crying apologizing to these people at the end of the day my line name ended up being Redemption and I know that what the enemy me for evil God turns it around
And means good because he allowed people that were in demonic things to speak Redemption over my life and at the time I was mad because I’m like y’all let such a petty situation like sway my line name like there’s no just all the things but God has revealed since I’ve been
Gone like no that was me in that like even though you made your bed in hell I was still with you and I was having them speak Redemption that I was going to be your Redeemer of this and so all that to say my process was wild um made if you
Will but I’m hyped to be out because I put up with so much stuff that it was just like this is not what love is this is not patient this is not kind y’all are keeping record of every wrong like it’s just not it’s not true Sisterhood
Um yeah and I’ll leave it at that even when you talk about you know how how they were demeaning to you with their words if we’re going to be founded on Christian principles EP what Ephesians 4:29 says let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth but only what
Is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers so the foundation of Believers our words we’re supposed to edify you with our words but the whole process of a pledge process like you said oh I’m I’m tearing you down to build you up like
Where where does Jesus say that I’m going to tear you down in order to build you up like he says I’m the one who keeps you from falling I will comfort you I will heal you I will redeem you I will restore you I will walk with you
And like none of this yeah it’s a they’re demonic like let’s just I want to keep repeating that time so it’s yeah everything that the Lord intends for us the enemy has taken these organizations and just perverted it wrapped it up in a nice cultural aspect for people of color
To make us and it’s so funny because the enemy you know he’s the one who created racism so even in that he’s using racism the fact that black people people of color are so oppressed that instead of us finding a different way to gather he’s now used racism to almost like you
Know trap us in two ways because yeah we were you know we we had to deal with the consequences of being you know dealing with racism but now also our response to racism is creating these demonic organizations so it’s like a double punch from the enemy that he created
Racism and then he also influenced our ancestors to create these organizations which were another tie to him so so let’s talk about so now that you guys were in the or what led you to finally coming out like when did when did the process of you because I know Ashley you
Were inactive for a while um so what you know what really LED you to be like okay I just need to actually renounce and denounce and not just be inactive like what were the convictions that the Lord started to speak to you you know what’s
Funny is like when I was in school there was a Zeta who was who was very vocal about she she pled she crossed and then she was going to renounce and we all felt like she was just doing the most like you could have just decided to not
Be active and that would have been enough and for a long time that same Pro that same um thought process of you could just be inactive and that’s enough you know me being an active for a long time really part of it was that and part
Of it was Delta did not deliver on its promises to me like I thought I was gonna get that Sisterhood I thought I was gonna get not one of my jobs Nan one of my jobs came from some special Delta place I never got the the quote unquote
Hook hookup because oh you’re a Delta I’m a Delta like that never happened I don’t know who who that’s benefited but it wasn’t me um and I didn’t come out of Delta with one friend there were a couple like members of my chapter that were quick to say Sor and don’t get me
Wrong very nice women and that’s part of the Allure it’s like oh look really nice women I would totally hang out with those women and so I don’t have anything bad to say about them specifically but I didn’t end up with any friends in Delta none of my friends were a result
Of Delta and so I was inactive for a long time because there was no there was no motivation for me to be active and I thought that was enough I said I don’t rock with Delta like that I had that little piece on the inside of me that
Said I’m not wearing manura on my chest yeah manura is not even her Greek name and this is a Greek organization that intelligence is the torch of wit wisdom I mean come on come on now like are we did that didn’t even make sense nothing nothing in my brain said flag
But you know as you get older it’s like I’m not wearing that on my chest I’m not putting D stigma on my chest I don’t even know what that represents at this point point you know um and so I was like H it’s enough for
Me to be inactive you know if I see another Delta in the grocery store at that point I’m not about to say hey you’re a Delta I’m a Delta no I don’t want to talk about it I’m okay let’s just leave that in the past and then I
Met this guy named Ashton and I was like oh Ashton I see that you I see from your Facebook that you renounced Kappa can we talk about it and it although I had been considering it for a long time I was like o feels like doing too much until I
Talk to Ashton and I realized you know not to it’s this is obviously not some romantic thing but it’s kind of like if you’re married to someone because this is what that is you pledge the rest of your life to that thing if you’re married to someone even if you and that
Person get separated right you could have not talked to that person for six years but you don’t get to marry someone else because you’re still in that agreement with that person you’re still in contract you’re still in Covenant with that person and so I said um I don’t rock
With anybody but Jesus so I had to had to formally renounced you you formally joined formally unjoined and so I made the decision to make it official um it wasn’t enough for me to be an active I needed I needed this to be a Jesus in the same way like
You get baptized it’s an outward demonstration of your inward commitment here’s my outward demonstration here’s my letter corporate I don’t headquarters I don’t I’m not a part of this anymore you can remove me Y and the Covenant piece is so good because these ORS only allow there’s the
National pantic Council which is like the governing Council of all nine organizations you can only Join one of these organizations so you can’t be a Delta and AKA at the same time they make choose who are you going to Pledge Your Life your heart your peace your commitment to and so just further
Showing these are covenants that these orgs take seriously they take it very serious when we when we buy them from front of those altars and say I’m pledging my allegiance to capid Delta whatever yeah so Paige let’s let’s hear about what convictions LED you to to leave the
The quote unquote Sisterhood the Reds as they call themselves Hol yes um so like I said I cross in 2014 and honestly like I felt like I was on top of the world like life after I was out here I was literally they called me and some of my
Previous long sisters the traveling Reds we were all over North Carolina Atlanta Greek picnic like just out loud proud um and so when I left um when I graduated college in 2015 I joined um an alumni chapter I joined the graduate chapter um I spent time as a financial secretary
Like I was very active um I think I I think it was 2018 where I went inactive um I was in graduate school just didn’t have time so fast forward I moved back home I finished graduate school I ended up rededicating my life back to Christ
In 2019 um when I say I was in the world like I was really out here whing and guys snatched your girl up in 2019 and so I was getting my life together um fast forward to 2021 the Holy Spirit had me move to Tulsa Oklahoma which is where
I currently reside and so when I moved to Tulsa I had got my money together I’m like okay Bet I’mma be a part of the tossa grad chapter I reach out to the tossa grad chapter I’m talking to them on the phone everything I’m like okay I got the
Money like all of a sudden silence they I had the money in hand they never hit me back like I’m dming people I’m talking to people that go to my church that are in the the chapter and like literally it was radio silence so I’m like okay I guess I’ll go inactive but
That was not my choice my thought was to come here we were on the end of covid I didn’t know anybody from church cuz it was closed like I wanted to reach I wanted to tap into The Sisterhood maybe it will be different in the midwest
Because it won’t hit no nothing in the east coast but at any rate um 2022 comes it’s my year of extreme obedience and so God begins to come for all the idols in my life I started my sobriety Journey God was talking me about piercings and
Makeup and just all these things that I had put on his throne in my life um and so going throughout the year and not once thinking about how Delta could be an idol like kind of just going through life so September of 2022 I am on Instagram and so I had been
Following um a page Greek Shenanigans and so honestly I had Twitter finger like I was always in the Greek shenanigan comments not sisterly at all um when people left y’all doing too much God didn’t tell you this um I had actually had two previous La sisters renounced due to religious reion reasons
And I got their nailia like for me it was like a complete Blinder was on my eyes of like wow people are really leaving I just was like y’all was lame before Delta y’all lame after Delta like when tell you I was on fire so um I ended up um running across
Ashton’s post he had got posted on Greek Shenanigans and I tell you I don’t know what it was other than the holy spirit that I felt compassion like I literally began to weep at the comments that people were saying and I’m like what in the world
Like I had never felt that before I texted my best friend who was in AKA living in Tulsa and I’m just like the way they’re doing him is trash like I don’t like it I didn’t know Ashton from literally a can of paint I ended up um
Obeying Holy Spirit I dm’d him and was just like you know thank you for sharing your testimony fully still involved in Delta never thinking that I was going to leave um I ended up meeting Ashton in person the next month he came to a conference out in Tulsa that was that
October fast forward November of 2022 I get a prophetic word and it was that there was something in my life that God was asking me to release but I wasn’t releasing it because of fear and so the person didn’t technically say Delta but you like you know when you know when you
Know it was like bro that’s crazy like you’re talking about Delta so I think it was like November 2nd I was like oh my God like I need to leave Delta I reached out to Ashton and I’m like hey you may remember me you may not um but can you
Like pray for me like I feel like God is calling me out I just I don’t know what to do that was November 2nd I had a conversation by November 7th all of my L sisters knew all of my friends who were Greek knew um and I submitted my
Paperwork and my freedom day is December 22nd 2022 and so the process of leaving was honestly easy um I submitted my paperwork Ashton helped me get into a couple groups to like figure out what that process looked like but to your point Ashley God had told me he was just
Like you’re believing me for your husband yet you were all white you went to an altar that I was not at you signed your name that you were legal like that you are giving your life’s commitment to this organization even until death Omega Omega you like you were taking this unto
Death but yet you want me to allow you to be in the Covenant of marriage like I need you to leave and so it was a clear I hear you God let me get the stuff together and within a week your girl was like let’s like let’s go and God was
Just so faithful that he’s allowed me to be able to help other women leave like he’s allowed me to help an alpha leave he’s allow me to help at this point almost 30 people get out of these organizations in the past year and it’s literally just been because we overcome
Him by the blood of the lamb and the word of Our Testimony because I think you said it earlier like when I crossed I had that probate video every Founders Day every Charter day every day that ended in day I’m posting on the gr like but yet I’mma leave and be
Silent God was like no there are people who are going back and forth there are people who need to be set free and they won’t know unless you tell them they won’t know and so that was my process of um getting out of Delta that’s good and it’s so that’s why
It’s so important for us to share this information because so many people they truly they have a heart for God they want to love God but they don’t even understand you know what they did because like Ashley said we’re teenagers some people are teenagers doing this
Early 20s even you can be early 40s if you’re not you know deep in your relationship with God if you’re not having a true relationship with God where you’re eating your word every day where you’re spending time worshiping when you have an intimate relationship with God you don’t understand the depths
Or the you know the severity of what you committed to so there are people out there when they hear these videos they don’t even have to contemplate they’re like oh like I did that to God like I’m I’m out immediately so this is why it’s important to really talk about the truth
And just to talk about you know what these what these organizations are really built upon and then you know I don’t beg anybody to renounce I just give the truth if you desire to learn more about it you know I’m open to have any conversation but only the holy only
The holy spirit is going to be able to change um you know to change your mind or to influence your mind so so it’s now that we have your stories thank you guys for sharing let’s talk about manura because let’s talk about you know let’s talk about why we say these things are
Demonic let’s talk about why this you know why it is in complete you know disagreement with the word of God so I was never a Delta obviously I know a little bit about manura the manura circle um you know Delta Delta to me is one of the most blatant with how demonic
It is because Delta even says I believe Ashley we spoke about it earlier it says like well you want to read where it says we leave it up to the individual to choose something like choose whatever medium or whatever yeah it says that uh we believe in a spiritual life but we
Leave it up to the individual the medium for its manifestation there was like a poem that starts off with like a fire and and a jellyfish and a saaran and caves and cavemen know CIS you see I’m saying it and it’s like oh I remember that I remember that but then it and
Then it ends off with um some call it consecration but others call it God there’s even like a piece in there with Jesus a and I want to be clear for whoever is watching this like e she’s reading the ritual it’s on the internet chill out
Like it’s on the internet I I didn’t even have my ritual I went and googled this um but what’s Wild is like when I read it you’ll be like yeah I remember that like it ends off with and it’s it’s a poem in there it says um a picket
Frozen on duty a mother star for her brood Socrates drinking the hemlock and Jesus on the road and millions who humble and nameless this straight hard pathway Tri God some call it Consecration and others call it God and I’ve read this and I was like man for
For them to have fed us so much this is a Christian organization this is founded on Christian principles um I can tell you one thing clean on my Christian walk is Jesus said there was only one way to the father and it’s through me it’s not with jellyfish and caveman and crystal
Balls that’s not it and I understand that the world that we live in is all about diversity and whatever y y and you can believe what you want to believe but what do you believe right but but but what do you believe are you if what kills me about
Delta is this is minurva is supposed to be palis Athena right is that that’s the the equivalent it’s all about wisdom intelligence is the torch of wisdom you know that there’s so much in it that’s wisdom focused but it it’s the same as like when you’re dealing with with
Witchcraft or when you’re dealing with um um astrology or any of those things all of this like all of this seeking of knowledge outside of God that’s demonic literally that it for me all of it boils down to this like one thing that it’s demonic even when you were
Talking about when you were online and it’s like look at look at how much contradicts itself in Delta but the focus is on intelligence the focuses on wisdom but they but but you’re not expected to use any wisdom because you wouldn’t be doing half this stuff
Yeah and I think just to piggy back off of that like mind you with being I was a Believer but as far as like I wasn’t acting out like walking out my faith um had no prayer life but the fact that the organization like when you’re ad Dela
There’s a chaplain there’s somebody who like can read scripture and all this stuff and we talked about like literally there were different hyns and different things that they were replacing God’s name with and like par in the ritual it’ll say paraphrased scriptures and it’s just like it’s giv Christlike but
When you are a follower of Christ there is no mixture and I feel like that’s what makes it so demonic is it’s in in mixture I remember even not even like fully being a devout follower picking up my cross every day I was like it feels
Weird that we have to learn all of this about the founders like it just it doesn’t feel like honor it doesn’t feel like I’m doing Delta jumping jacks to their names and like I’m having to learn all this stuff and it was like this Eerie like honor these 22 women that was
Just like they’re the source of all knowledge and and it’s like it feels Eerie then but as we know now like demonic yeah I saw a post the other day it was j13 that’s yeah Delta founder day and this woman posted a picture of like 22 women and she said be because they
Something like because of them we can and I’m just like because of them you can what that’s a great question because of them you can what did they did they lay on a cross are they the ones who knew no sin who became sin so that we could become the righteousness of
God because that because of him we can because of Jesus I can live because of Jesus I can be redeemed because of the the scripture says the blood of Jesus has brought us close to God those Founders didn’t do anything for me and so even when you speak about that you
Know people get so you talk about the founders they ready to fight you talk about um you know you talk about anything about their organization it’s like now I’m ready to fight you and a big argument is always like you know y’all Christians doing too much of
Course we know of course we know AA um whatever her name is manura is not a real God of course we know Apollo is not a real God well let’s what does the Bible say first 1 Corinthians 10:1 19- 21 says this is Paul speaking he says
What am I trying to say am I saying that food offered to Idols has some significance or that Idols are real Gods no not at all I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to Demons not to God and I don’t want you to participate with demons you cannot drink from the
Cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons too you cannot eat at the Lord’s table at the table of demons too and all of these so so yes Apollo is not a real God it’s a demon Spirit behind like of course we know it’s not the god of
Apollo but it is a demon presence behind it and when we make vows we are giving these demonic this is why so many Believers we need to learn about the spiritual realm because we are giving these Spirits legal ground we’re saying oh yeah you have permission to come an
Oppress me you have permission to come an influence I’m inviting you in here to dwell here when I bow to you when I make those Oaths and you know it’s just wild because a almost all these rituals that I’ve been able to read so far there’s a
Point in the ceremony where it says like initiant will bow at the altar of whatever your org is and you will you will either prepare you will either like offer up a sacrifice of food to the God so in Kappa you’re supposed to bring a
Cake and offer it to Apollo at the altar or some of the organizations I believe it’s Alpha F Alpha where it says initiates have to bow and they have to eat the food prepared by the gods and so it’s all about obviously you’re either receiving something from the gods or
You’re offering up a sacrifice to the you only offer up a sacrifice to someone like to a god that you reverence that you worship that you’re bowing to that you’re seeking something from in exchange for that sacrifice and even even in that same vein all of our songs sound like worship
All across all the Orcs not even just Delta but like Delta with glowing Hearts we praise thee for the strength thy love bestows like oh that lyric alone you should even have to go any further in the Delta with glowing Hearts we praise thee who is thee like funny is like you
Could have that you can sing that on a Saturday at your chapter meeting and then the very next day go to church and say Lord you deserve all the praise God I praise thee well which you just said you were praying Delta was the source of your strength and your love yesterday Delta
Was your you know this glowing Sisterhood keep keep us in a strong Endeavor and our souls to Rapture raise we praise thee for the strength thy love bestows for the glowing Grace of thy Sisterhood and the power that from it flows oh Delta Sigma Theta we rejoice in
Thee we pledge thee loyalty devoted to a truth a bond of our youth that keeps our hearts clean and pure to the end so Delta is keeping our Delta is keeping your heart clean and pure to the end to the end of what the when I hear this now with full
Revelation it’s the haze gone from my mind like I could only imagine how God’s heart feels because of the way that my heart feels and I I remember God had to convict me even once I moved to Tulsa I used to love wearing like a Delta rain
Jacket or like my Delta bag in the house of the Lord like and had no sort of conviction on like this is a little G God and you are coming to the house of the Lord we know that God Holy Spirit dwells within us but you’re coming into
A place of corporate worship and praise and I have on Delta rings and I have on a Delta P pendant and I have on a a jacket and it’s like so you got your side chit on you you got your side dude this other God on you and you’re walking in
The house of the Lord there would be people saying hey Sor in the house of the Lord and that’s why I’m like these people are not bad people we were all in organizations it’s literally the fact that like you’re so steeped in deception you’re so steeped and like you literally
Cannot see it when the Bible talks about opening our eyes like we need to be able to open our spiritual eyes to see in the spiritual realm that this is not just about colors this is not just about this organization that we talked about like promises Sisterhood but I was the most
Loneliest I’ve ever been when I was in that organization like no true friends nobody worried about me and it’s like but we could turn up and go to the club you know I was just having this conversation with um a friend of mine who’s in Omega
And we hadn’t talked in a long time I told him he I renounced my letters I just knew this was G to be an argument because he’s an Omega and he said can I ask why and I said yeah and I you know gave him some of the story and I I
Explained to him the reasons that I joined Delta that Sisterhood scholarship service I still have those things sister Hood scholarship service and I have true sisters now that if if I don’t call for two days um check my location call my mama and they’re not just people who run
Around and call me Sora they’re sisters to me they love me through my dirt you know they’re not looking for a reason to qualify me or disqualify me you know I have true sisters I’m still I’m in a lifetime learner I’m the Director of Education somewhere I I do I do learning
For a living like so that Sisterhood that scholarship I still do community service I still serve God’s people and I did and I’ve I do more service now through through my church with God’s people for God’s people than I did when I was in that organization yeah and you still have
Those things you don’t you don’t need you don’t need Delta for sisterhood scholarship service you don’t need Kappa or alpha or Omega or Zeta or Sigma or eiro I don’t know who I’m missing all of them you don’t need it we don’t need any of them that’s it you don’t that’s what
The church is supposed to be for like look at the early Church in Acts the scripture talks about how they all came together they all contributed in every they had everything that they needed these organizations we’re paying what intake fees now are like $3,500 list and they they have what they
Call Reclamation Services where they have literally have committees where they have brothers who will get on the phone phone two to three hours a night just calling a list of people hey you haven’t been in active do you want to pay your dues do you want to recommit to
Kappa you are evangelizing you are operating in the office of an evangelist the the enemy has not perverted the five-fold ministry you’re operating in the office of an evangelist for the enemy imagine if those Brothers decided to hop on the phone and say hey I haven’t seen you in the I haven’t seen
You at church or are you okay how’s your heart how’s your worship time how’s your seek how’s your prayer life do you want to Comm to imagine if we were on the streets instead of having Greek picnics instead of strolling and duck walking and shimmying and doing all this other
Imagine if we were in doing the work of the Lord instead of doing the work of these lowercase Lords like how many people could be won to the kingdom of God instead of this greekdom that’s all going to pass away like none of this is going to be remaining when God shakes
The Earth again and you know like you said Ashley like true Brotherhood true Sisterhood it’s only found in the body of Christ our true brothers and sisters are those we we have what we all Covenant Brothers Covenant sisters we’re in Covenant through the Lord and so like I
I brothers who are praying for me right now as we’re recording because we are bound in Christ together like imagine if we all came together as one body and said you know instead of paying all that money to Kappa so Kappa can have legal fees to defend itself in court when it
Gets sued for the illegal hazing that it’s doing imagine if we took that money and went to a local church and help them build up their church or imagine if we sent that over to uh to churches that are being persecuted imagine if we sent them some Bible so that they had Bibles
Like everything that we should be doing in the body the enemy has just made us think let’s just do these ORS in the name of these orgs and it’s just it’s wicked and there’s so many people another thing that I was just thinking about so many people are in these orgs
And they know they should come out but it’s like you know well I’m a what do you call a golden member or I’m a life member so you know I’m in here I’m I’m I’m in deep the scripture literally says Isaiah 59:1 listen the Lord’s arm is not
Too weak to save you other translations said his arm is not too short to pull you out no matter how deep you are I don’t care if you’re the pmark the national president whatever you are the Lord can snatch you out of these organizations all he had all you need to
Do is say yes all you need to do is surrender and trust the Lord that when you give up something for him whatever you give up he will give to you a h hundredfold he will replace it to you so much better um so yeah let’s so I want to talk about
Manura just a little bit more and then I also want to hit on like so Paige you said something that was really powerful is how it must grieve God’s heart and I feel like all of us went through experience where we were grieved by the way that we treated God when we said
Some of these things um but let’s just talk a little bit more about manura mana’s involvement in Delta and how it you know is en tied with scripture so can you guys talk to me about the manura circle like what is the manura circle and what is its importance in Delta
Yeah so the manura circle is important when it comes into initiation um there’s these nine cardinal virtues and like each one has its own little day it’s a jewel but these are the um sisters who are the ones that are helping bring you through this initiation process all throughout
The ritual they’re like these honor this is like the C um what do you call it like position so people are in chapter like everybody wants to be a part of this manura circle to help actually initiate and bring in um these women and so it’s like a at
Least how it was for the chapter I was a part of it was like an additional level of clout like you but you wear this full you have a full Rob on like all of this stuff and you have um things that you’re actually saying from the the ritual I said
Ritual but through the ritual that’s like actually helping these pyramids like the people that are going through this process um study for the DAT which was like the test you have to take um but they’re the ones that are actually like leading and helping initiate for this um why people are online
And see like how you mentioned these cardinal virtues they’re what’s that it’s like they make sense when you’re going through them it’s like that makes sense Fidelity Temperance like yeah I I stand for those things that makes sense I’m on board but it it’s like we talked about before you it’s
Deceitful they take they take good things and then they poison it just just a little so that you’re you’re comfortable enough to ride ride along and it’s like even those those virtues like it’s like they press pause on all of that while they’re pledging you like oh we’re brothers I remember
Telling my former L Brothers one time like after we cross I don’t want to like I’m putting my phone on do not disturb because I don’t even want to talk to anybody it’s like you literally cross and then the next day you’re just supposed to be like oh what’s up bro
What’s up brother like oh let’s go and it’s like no you were just beating me in the garage you were just telling me I’m the most wor or so it’s like what happened to those those foundations what happened to those virtues um I don’t think Jesus pledged
The TW Apostles before he sent them out and didn’t and it was honestly like night and day like we would go through like the pyramid which was like the official you have this you know big book and you’re going through and you’re learning all the stuff and during the
Day everybody’s in their business casual and like they’re so nice the advisors are there and it’s like you’re learning all of this you leave you go to your whever and then at night it’s like literally complete night and day and then it’s like bro I I really don’t like
You like you really just treated me like the scum of the earth and now tomorrow I have to have this big red book be excited that I was one of the Chosen Few and then be subjected to mental torment being cust out being laid like all of this stuff and
Then it’s just like you cross you have this probate your body’s tired your me your grades are looking crazy and then it’s like we all a big happy family and now we got chapter meeting because now we gotta keep chapter of the year so like we gotta go and do all these
Events something that y’all said earlier is like these organizations know when they’re doing this service that it’s in their name and I think what I didn’t realize until I came out is I was just so excited about doing the service that I did not realize that in Colossians
3:17 it says and whatever you do in word or deed do all in the name of Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him and I remember um in December 2022 when I got the letter to leave that like official like you’re bar you can never
Come back it was like thank you for all the service you did in our name and when I tell you I WEP I wept and repented and said God I’m sorry for all the things that we just did so that we could win chapter of the Year for all
The things that we just let’s get this together to give to homeless people like the such perverted serving that we did just it wasn’t even in your it did not it at ify the kingdom of darkness because it was to a whole other God and it’s just like
From everything like manura Circle all the things the fact that they had candles going yeah Seance Vibes like it was just everything in it was demonic because God got no glory that organization got Glory we got Glory from our probate the the people in the manura circle got Glory because they were
Chosen to be a part of this prestigious Circle and it’s like not one person sto and said God how do you feel how are how are you bringing people to your kingdom how are we spreading the good news but we spreading come to our event we spreading join the give your money
Don’t pay your ti give your money like yeah yeah when you were going through the process your first like like ceremony if you will did it freak you out you know I don’t necessarily think I was freaked out I know I it was a little
Like some of us got on white some of like I think everything was just so new but I was just my eye was on the pro like my eye was on the end that like I was so in darkness it’s just like it didn’t it didn’t give me no
Yeah yeah you like it was for you you know the ceremony part of it uh the same little piece of me that’s like oh Jesus should I say that that same part of me is like is this like this this feels this feels wrong to
Me um but you know one of the things that’s that’s interesting about Delta is like the academic standard to get in is high you know Del Delta knows who it’s appealing to even like how you’re like people in their business casual during the day and they’re you know the it’s it’s a very
It’s a target audience you only got like one of two groups of people that’s like I’m going somewhere or it’s like you know in the name of like I’m I’m so down to earth you know and this stereotype is you know AKA are too prissy I’m going to do Delta or whatever but
You know even like with with the focus on manura um being a goddess of wisdom quote unquote it just the very base of that thing it’s like you there are people who cannot quote you scripture or give you receipts for anything but they can tell you that
You should have no other gods before me but it but you would feel okay to wear her on your chest you would feel okay to wear this goddess over your heart over your heart you know and it’s like it’s not me trying to like beat whoever over the head with like
Shame on you but like that that grieved me like that made my heart like no pun intended because it’s a wear over your heart but like that like actually make my heart sad it didn’t hurt me to throw it away so even that scripture where Exodus
23 where you know it says you should have no other gods before so many people so many times you hear well well I don’t love you know Delta more than I love God you know I have an order I remember in Kappa they used to
Tell us I forget how many it was but it was like they they’re teaching like oh no you put God first then your family then your career whatever there’s a place where Kappa is supposed to be like in a hierarchy of your life but the word
Before it doesn’t mean just mean as far as a hierarchy like as far as levels it means in my in the presence of at all when you go before a judge when you go before a judge you’re standing in the presence of a judge it doesn’t mean
You’re like actually in order of before so we stand before a just judge a holy judge a righteous judge we should not have any other false gods in his presence so why do we and even just thinking about like manura and stuff it’s just like if I went to a church and
I saw a pastor speaking from a Pulpit that had manura on the pulpit where he had Apollo on the stained windows where he had a sphinx or a centaur on the S Windows I would say this this is not a church I’m about to worship the
One true Living God and I believe every believer can pretty much say like if they saw a pastor preaching from a Pulpit with manura on it it’d be a big deal so then why are we so okay with being part of organizations that put those same Gods on their shields on
Their Crest over our hearts it’s just like why we have to stop being lukewarm stop making excuses for the enemy to infiltrate us because if we just give him uh an inch he’s going to come in and slowly by slowly these organizations have been around what 190 1906 was when
Alpha was founded it’s been around over a century now and they’re just becoming to get more and more infiltrated into our communities and our children are going to these colleges they’re thinking that it’s almost like a passage of you know like a a legacy call it Legacy like
Oh my I hate when I see people post their of their infant babies with these future Delta future nle like why are you prophesying that over your over your child you’re prophesying witchcraft you’re prophesying demonic Oaths and that your child is going to use their mouths to declare demonic Oaths to
Another God so you know for those of you who are watching when we speak about the allegiance to other guys this is what we mean yeah you you truly may love the Lord you may be on the worship team I was a minister in this organization but
I still had a covenant it with another God and it just can’t be we can’t light and darkness do not have any business mixing you know and even like how you just said like in Kappa they emphasize there’s like a pecking order um I I remember when I was considering like am
I gonna renounce I was thinking about the Sweetheart Song and how your face your face said it all that was it for me but it was like but if she wears it it and it goes through like she wear a cap as Diamond her love may a sigma be but
But if she wears the Delta Delta then her First Love First of all I now what’s funny is like when I think back through through like my Milestones um when I graduated no one serated me no one saying man but time I was so offended then like
After after some time passed I was like oh but that’s good because can you imagine you’re at your wedding I just married I committed my whole life to this man I’m I’m I’m supposed to leave my mother and father and cleave and cleave to this but you
Think you GNA s My First Love is DC like that’s what you thought that’s no no thank you and it it’s like when we were talking about this this pecking order there’s no pecking order this this little G God this this principality this demonic that’s behind this the the
Warfare behind this thing is real and I don’t want to deter anyone who would be thinking about but after I renounced after I wrote my letter and I said no I’m I’m I’m I’m not a part of this anymore and I announced it to my my um
My NEOS who I brought into the organization I’m I’m sorry to you NEOS you know um I announced my Prof fights I I made a a point to say you spend all this time with me in this thing I’m not a part of it anymore don’t include me on
Your records don’t include I wasn’t in in group chats anyway but don’t include don’t include me in your group chat I don’t want to be in nobody’s pictures when you talk about the chapter’s history like just pass me right skip over me for this and and I had War like
There was a little bit of warfare that came on the back side of this and it let me know that you were right you were right about this being a spiritual thing because whatever demon is behind us you pissed it off you took that demon
Off it was what it was if I had to say to somebody like who’s been maybe sitting on it for a minute like you know it’s you know we know people who it’s like I know that it’s not right but I’m not really that involved and you know
Like it’s not that big it is though it and I say you you you don’t need this you will you will not feel any loss On The Backs side of this you’ll feel Freer on the backside of of separating yourself from this from breaking Covenant yeah that
Organization it you your life will be better as a result of period you will be free and like I said earlier if you give up something for the Lord he will fill the void with what he desired to be there in the first Place yeah even just think like there is there
Is a there is an a mass Exodus this going around Nation right now people are coming out and there is community being built like I’ve literally connected with people all across the country just because they see a post like hey can you speak to me about this so if you’re you
Know if you’re afraid that you are going to be in this alone you are not alone you have a you have one man you have two women right here so you can reach I’m going to put our info in the video description but you can reach out to us
Like you do not have to be afraid to do this alone you don’t have to feel like you’re going to be on an island by yourself if any of your Bros or sisters have no desire to speak with you after you renounce all only thing you can do at
That point is pray for their healing pray for their Deliverance pray that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened but the Lord will fulfill he will first of all he will fill you with his love he will fill you with his acceptance he will fill you with his
Presence and you trust me you will let nothing when the Lord is your Shepherd um so don’t be afraid to come out come out from among them you will be more bold after this you will walk into your purpose more because those Spirits when those Spirits are when we have access
When we give those Spirits access we can’t properly walk in the fullness of our own spiritual gifts you know all of these spirits who are these Gods who are supposed to be the gods of Prophecy or whatever you know how many of us are supposed to be prophesying the real word
Of the Lord you know the Lord said he would pour out his Spirit we would prophesy the the Lord is calling his children his daughters and sons to prophesy with power with authority and we cannot be mixing with these false spirits who want to prophesy you know
Lie so the Lord’s you know the Lord is waiting for you he’s waiting to pour out fresh oil upon you just come on out just join the freedom join the freedom club and receive your receive your deliverance today like right now renounce right now like now is the time
We don’t have any time to wait there is a war and the Lord is looking for soldiers who will go to battle for him um so I also wanted to touch before we before we wrap this up you know in a couple minutes but let’s talk about how
We felt as far as like when we finally came to the full understanding of the truth I think it’s I think it just shows how deep it is because all of us were grieved like I know my experience the so the week that I renounced when I was in
Worship service that Sunday the worship team they sang that song um I’ll probably get emotional just talking about it that song where it says it’s your breath and our lungs so we pour out our praise to you like I was I feel like I was going through a Deliverance
Session in church because I was just thinking like Lord It’s You Gave Me Breath to praise you the scripture this song says so we pour out our praise to you only yeah great are you Lord and the think that I took breath that the lord
Gave me to make these type of Oaths to give reverence to an organization to give reverence to these deities and then he still showed me mercy he still was patient for me to come to the Revelation for me to come out and repent like it’s
Just I was just like God I am so sorry I wasn’t I wasn’t even feeling bad that I did that to myself I was like God I’m sorry that I did that to you that I treated you like that that I neglected you like that that I put you to the side
Like that like it was a I had hurt in my heart that I did that to the Lord yeah I would say for me same um when I finally got the revelation grieving like it was literally like the amount of tears I WPT just thinking like God please forgive me forgive me because
I was 19 and I did not know and although I didn’t have the full knowledge I’m not absolved from it I need to come out of Covenant I need to renounce I need to come out of agreement I need your blood to cleanse and neutralize so for me it
Was literally like sitting with the Lord and worship sitting with the Lord and just with the True Heart of repentance um and it was I also needed to make the official step to leave I think there’s so many people that I talk to that it’s
Like well I have to be on the inside to be able to get the people to encourage them to leave and my response is always how are you encouraging them to do something that you haven’t done because my Bible says that if you deny he said
If you deny me in front of men I’m going to deny you and my thing is you need to sever the ties because it’s not just throwing away or burning the jacket you need to literally sign your name and say CL like take me out of this and so for
Me it was just like God show me what I need to do show me like please forgive me um and it was good because I had a friend who was also going through the process so we prayed over one another we sat with but then it was just like
There’s there’s things we need to do we need to get rid of this stuff we need to put God back on his rightful place in our hearts um but also like practically but it was definitely a a grieving process and also realizing like there are things that need to change I got to
Leave the group chat I can’t be one foot in one foot out Revelation literally talks about he said I would rather you be hot or cold but because you’re lukewarm like I got to spit you out and so it was the spiritual thing and spending time with God but letting that
Move me to the Practical steps to actually leave and let others know um and not to drag anybody but to let people know you have a choice whether you’ve been in this for 30 years 40 years like you can get there is freedom that is here for you um and who the sun
Set free is free indeed so it was definitely an emotional emotional process you know I like that you brought up you took the official step and it’s like there’s there’s that natural official step of like officially I’m signing my I’m logging out that’s it but there’s also
There’s also this prayer aspect of it where like in the spirit you took an oath you know and and having really like praying and breaking Covenant with this thing is a big part of it and I remember um um Ashen when we had originally had that conversation
Where I was like really just trying to hear you out it wasn’t necessarily my plan to formally renounce I I was still on my I’ve done enough by being in active yeah um but there was a prayer in um John Art’s book uh prayers at Route
Demons and um and in reading the prayer I just cried I just cried uh when you’re in it you don’t know and like and I I can’t stress enough that for me it was like this is Bible who’s going to be upset about this it’s Bible you can’t argue with it it’s
Bible and realizing you know that I’d been fed Bible but we replaced god with Delta and coming to this realization that it’s like and this is even after renouncing like I I don’t know about about you guys but somewhere between very physically I keep finding Delta things to get rid of
It’s like I don’t know where they were hiding or how they managed to surface but but like I was telling ashon the other day I I just thrown away like I I threw away a whole bunch of stuff at the beginning and then I found more t-shirts
In my closet I was like why is this even in here how did this even get back and then the other day I found another one it had like my school emblem on it and I was like oh man this was one of my favorite t-shirts but it says nphc on
The back I was like guess it’s got to go but it’s like in the same way that like these these little tokens of that time keep popping up it’s like it’s like real grief where it’s like okay griev this at the beginning where it’s like not grieve
This like I was so sad to let Delta go but to think like dang I really was I really did that I was a part of that I’m so sorry God that I did you this way and then I’ll find a new thing and it’s like
I didn’t remember that but now that I remember that I’m so sorry God that I did you this way and it’s it’s the breaking Covenant it’s it’s really engaging in that spiritual part of it where it’s like don’t not take this seriously like you have to take this seriously it’s
It’s not just a club and that should be clear by how much you have to do to be a part of it yeah you know and so but I’m much you yeah all right y’all so let’s close this out with if you had the opportunity to
Go on college campus right now and speak to young women who are considering this or even speak to women that are in this and you know considering it what piece of advice would you give them I would more than a piece of advice I would ask a question
And it’s what is the real reason that you want to be a part of it is it you’ve been because for some of us it’s like I never had a group of girlfriends and I I want sisters for some of us it’s you know I want the
Opportunity for some of us it’s it’s the cool thing to do I would be popular if I did this some of us it’s my mom was a Delta and my mom before her was a Delta and my mom and her mom before her was a Delta and so my aunties are deltas it’s
Just expected of me whatever your reason for that is I would challenge that reason to say you are a person on your own before anything else and there are so many people that’s like I don’t need to renounce before any that’s not the only thing about me I’m a
Child of God first and because you’re a child of God first you shouldn’t be engaged in this and so my question is what need is that meeting for you and and what’s the real way to meet that need and to not just feed whatever symptoms come out of that
Yeah that’s good I think for me what I would do is um what I would say to them is I would say you are enough speak to them about their identity I would call out the woman that God has created them to be and I would
Speak to them and say he he knew you before you were in your mother’s womb so the job that you need he knows he every connection that you think you need I would like come against the orphan Spirit come against rejection abandonment people who join these organizations we have similar Spirits
Like whether we think it’s just like we can connect or like likeminded likeminded a lot of times because of the trauma that we’ve experienced and so it would be like you everything you need to be successful you have it in you there’s not a club there’s not a sorority
There’s not you need to know the right person go to these right office hours you I would speak to their identity and share with them that they are enough and I think a lot of times we have like these high level we want to do Sisterhood we want to do scholarship we
Want to do service but at the underneath of it we really like at the root we need somebody to tell us that we’re valuable we need somebody to tell us that we’re loved we need somebody to apologize on behalf of the trauma that we’ve experienced and say you like and love on them
So share my testimony yes like share things that God has delivered me or like this situation yes but I think before anything I would talk to them about identity because if I knew who I was in Christ at 19 like I know at 29 I would have never joined that organization I
Would have never felt like I needed something additional on my resume or I needed people to know me in that light um um yeah and just love on them love on them meet them where they are you know one thing that we had in common was like I I prayed like Lord let
Me like let me get in but ashon if we were talking to somebody that’s like thinking about it right now pray about it first and don’t pray what you don’t pray from a position of you know there’s no point in talking to God if you already know what you want him to
Say pray and be open to his actual answer study the scriptures so that you know what it says in regard to this and I said pray about it first and one other thing they say they love to say do your research but when I did my research it was
One-sided when I read in search of Sisterhood when I read all this stuff I didn’t I’m pretty sure I saw somebody talk about renouncing and I skirted past it like I literally want yeah I did not do I did not do objective um research and so I would
Tell them to do actual research and see find videos like this or you know what I mean like just lay out all the cards and see what holy spirit is actually saying that’s good and I would just leave you with this because you know when when you’re looking for anything in
Life you’re looking for satisfaction to some degree and I’m tell you there are people who have had great pledge experiences there are people who have there are people who have got a lot of job promotions they’ve been elevated to CEO because of their connections in this fraternity there are people who have
Made quote unquote friends for life they’ve never had a bad experience in these orgs but yet they are still not satisfied they are still looking for something else Jesus said in John 413 he told the woman at the well he said Jesus answered and said to her whoever drinks
Of this water will thirst again but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst but the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life so whatever you’re looking for in these ores you may
Experience happiness you may experience friendship but it’s not going to last these things are not Eternal they are not from the Lord so therefore they will not satisfy you the way the Lord desires you to be satisfy you William McDow has has that song that says only you can
Satisfy only the Lord is going to give you that comfort that that healing the restoration The Joy the confidence the Purity that you’re looking for only God is going to give that to you so run to him cling to Jesus find you some brothers and sisters in the Lord that
You can create Unity with and I promise you you will have all the benefits that you think these Orcs are going to give you without the shame without the you know without the guilt without the rejection without the ReUse without the spending too much money this economy is too crazy for us
To be spending thousands of dollars okay organization okay so nothing else save you a couple stacks and seek the Lord seek the Lord that’s all we can say Seek the Lord and find joy in the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy at his right hand our Pleasures forever more
There are Pleasures that the Lord has waiting to release to you if you just come and seek him all right well that that’s going to wrap us up for this episode of the secret place again thank you to Ashley thank you to Paige I know sharing this
Testimony it takes it takes boldness it takes courage and most of all it takes a desire to please the Lord so if anything I thank you both for your submission to the Lord and your willingness to serve him to serve his people I know that from these testimonies women are going to be
