Blessed and Highly Favored Until the Bill Came Due

The kingdom of darkness favored her with a life of luxury, and then it came to collect.

Content warning: a brief account of a suicidal crisis before a deliverance encounter. Handled with care, still heavy.

Leah had more money than she knew what to do with, and she was teaching I AM as a manifestation tool while she built all of it. This one is a bonus cross post. Jenny Embrey interviews Leah on the Magdalene Table, and it opens with a single sentence Jesus said to her on a prayer walk, I am the fruit of your life, which turns the rest of the hour into an accounting of what that fruit actually is.

Jenny takes I AM back through Exodus 3 and a Hebrew verb that never finishes, then John 8:58 and the Aramaic. Leah takes it the other direction, into what an I AM affirmation is really aimed at and who ends up receiving the worship. Then the evidence, item by item. Voices that never stopped until they did. A body she spent her whole life refusing to be inside. Anxiety running all day, fear removed in an afternoon, money that had owned her since childhood, a marriage nobody was going to fix. Plus why the name of Jesus splits a room when the name of God does not, what a false Jesus entity is, and how to hear it when somebody says the name and it lands dead.

"I was highly favored by the Kingdom of Darkness. I built a life of luxury and had more money than I knew what to do with, and it all looked and felt really, really amazing for a while, until the payment came due."

Key Takeaways

• What Jesus said to Leah on a prayer walk when she asked whether she had an assignment wrong.
• I AM is taught as a manifestation tool in the New Age, and Leah explains where that principle came from and which direction it gets pointed.
• The Hebrew behind I AM THAT I AM is a verb tense that never finishes, and Jenny explains what that does to how you read Exodus 3.
• The first thing that changed when Leah surrendered, and why she found it unsettling rather than peaceful.
• Fear removed in a single day after a lifetime of it, and the one time it has come back since.
• One sentence, prayed daily for two months, and what happened to her husband.
• Why the name of Jesus shifts the atmosphere of a room when the name of God does not, and what Leah says free will has to do with it.
• How to tell in your own body that somebody talking about Jesus does not actually know Him.
• What Leah says shifted in the spirit over the last few weeks, and why she is watching parents closely right now.

Featured Scripture

Matthew 7:16-20

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (KJV)

Application: Jesus hands out a test that needs no seminary degree and no gift of discernment. Look at what a life is producing and work backwards from there. Leah runs that test on her own life in this episode and comes back with a quiet mind, peace she had never felt, a reconciled marriage and a husband who found Jesus himself, and she is careful to say none of it is hers to take credit for. Run the same test on your own life, and on the voices you let teach you. It works in both directions, and over time it is stubbornly hard to fake.
