EPS 232 - PROPHETIC GATEKEEPERS Guard the Gates of TRUTH!

Our mission is to help nonfiction authors, literary agents, and publishers prepare and release prophetic books that empower, equip, and encourage the body of Christ with God's truth without falsehood.

EPS 231- Don't Let Unhealed People Influence your Vertical Relationship with JESUS
Are you just going through the motions? Following others without testing the spirit? Don't let unhealed people, even social media gurus and high-level Christian entrepreneurs, sway you from the path God has laid out specifically for you. Discernment is key. The narrow path isn't easy peasy to follow, but always rewarding. Trust the Holy Spirit's guidance above everyone else's clamor. Others mean well, but your journey is NOT their journey ... I've learned this the hard way, my friends. A genuine relationship with Jesus is a continuous healing journey of repentance, persistence, perseverance, and resisting the enemy's attacks. A...

EPS 230 - Spiritual Covering SCAM; Occult Impartations & Rituals Disguised as Christian Principles
Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who...

A strong prophetic warning: "Pack your bags and leave for exile!" God has had ENOUGH of our rebellion, false loyalties, false prophets and leaders, idolatry, disobedience, and worshipping pagan gods, in particular Baal and Molech. Therefore, judgment must be unleashed; it will NOT be tolerated in God's Kingdom! God is calling for a return to Him alone, a restoration of desolate lands, and the rebuilding of what has been destroyed due to misalignment and falsehood. God is calling people to flee spiritual "Babylon" with the influence of the "north," signaling judgment and the need to return to...

The Five-Fold Ministry has been massively misrepresented! It's either one extreme or the other with no balance in the body of Christ. It's NOT about numbers, popularity, or status to fill ego and self. It's about truly representing the heart of the Father with purity. What we are viewing on social media and witnessing in many churches today is not the flow of the Holy Spirit. A five-fold team co-labors together, each flowing in their unique gifting, yet together; brings unity to the body of Christ to help build and equip maturity while avoiding falsehood. (See Ephesians 4:11-16). It's...

In today's episode of the Vertical Relationship Show, Melia exposes the dark side and a real experience she encountered in bringing these innocent-looking dolls into her home.

The overzealous charismatic community often embraces the law of attraction incantations, unintentionally and intentionally! Sadly, "decree and declare" statements are twisted, and many believe that speaking positive affirmations into existence can manifest desired outcomes. Is this practice truly biblical, or does it lead Christians down a dangerous path of deception? Let's examine and debunk the numerous misused Scriptures (Matthew 7:7-8, Mark 11:23-24, Job 22:28) that many fall for in the body of Christ.

Is deliverance enough? In any journey of spiritual freedom, deliverance is often viewed as a quick fix, but true liberation requires much more than a "quicky deliverance" session! It's essential to understand that while casting out demons is a vital step, it is not the end-all of the multi-layered and complicated process of releasing strongholds. Healing and ministering to an individual, with gentleness, plays a crucial role in your transformative journey. Without addressing the deep-rooted wounds and trauma within a wounded soul, individuals may find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of recurring patterns. Embrace the wisdom that healing...

God speaks to us through prophetic dreams! He will use symbols, such as objects and animals, to reveal and expose the truth about the hidden gods of the world. Several deities: Sobek, Amon, Behemoth, and Khnum were revealed and associated with the Nile River in my dreams. Let's be clear, the Nile demonstrates God’s power and authority over Egypt and other gods.

Spirit of religion is characterized by outward righteousness – attending church and performing religious duties – without the corresponding inner transformation of the heart and mind. It's a counterfeit faith, a spiritual facade that leaves you feeling empty despite your outward efforts. It's a subtle shift away from a heart-centered, intimate relationship with Jesus towards a performance-based faith. If so, you might be wrestling with the insidious spirit of religion.

Facing challenges in discernment? Without the Holy Spirit guiding us to God's truth, no discernment is dispersed! Too many Christians are not testing the spirit (See 1 John 4:1) because they don't spend time with Jesus or study their Bible to know the difference between a spirit of truth (Holy Spirit) verses a spirit of deception (Satan). Nobody, including myself, will not be able to have wise discernment, without a vertical relationship with Jesus.

The Vertical Relationship Show: Relationship Goals, Healing Trauma, Biblical Counseling, Dating Advice & Christian Marriage
EPS 2- What’s your God Given Mission?
What's you God Given Mission? Just because we are saved life does not turn into sunshine and rainbows. This is a deep stretching process. A pruning process hurts because purging anything that is yuck in our soul is always a brutal transformational journey. We will not always get it right- it’s not about perfectionism! It’s about a deep kinship with Jesus as He starts bringing you closer to Him and opening a door to a God given mission!

The Vertical Relationship Show: Relationship Goals, Healing Trauma, Biblical Counseling, Dating Advice & Christian Marriage
EPS 1- Who am I & What is a Vertical Relationship?
What exactly is a Vertical Relationship? I used to be a party girl until Jesus got a hold of my heart. I told you I was going to be real and honest here - no fluff. We have too many voices out there and not enough honesty... We definitely don’t need that or false promises. People need authentic and real! We will dig into that later, but my faith and who I am in Christ is why I am here today and talking to you! This is why I podcast, coach, write, teach, and counsel. I was not al...

Ep. 48: Are You a Scanner or a Diver?
Do you ever feel anxious about not knowing what your calling is, because you’re interested in so many things? Well, you may be a Scanner, and the good news is that you don’t have to limit yourself to just one thing. When Melia talked in In Ep. 47 about identifying her core purpose, Gill shared some anxiety about still figuring hers out. Soon after (perhaps by kismet!), she discovered the book Refuse to Choose!: A Revolutionary Program for Doing Everything That You Love, by Barbara Sher, which describes two types of people: Scanners and Divers.

Ep. 39: Dodging the Second Arrow
Melia and Gill discuss the Buddhist parable of the second arrow – the additional pain we cause ourselves when unwelcome things happen – and how to dodge it. This idea can be summed up by an old Buddhist saying made popular by writer Haruki Murakami: “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” We feel the first arrow when we experience something painful, and it’s healthy to acknowledge that pain. But often we shoot a second arrow into ourselves by resisting the pain and turning it into anger, shame, criticism, rumination, etc. Melia and Gill share their second arrows of choice and...

Ep. 30: Balancing Novelty & Familiarity
Melia and Gill discuss the question: What blend of novelty and familiarity brings you the most joy? During the holiday break, when spending time in familiar settings or hosting people who’ve visited before, it’s common to think about how many experiences to repeat and how many new things to try. Each of us is looking for a balance that works for us. Novel experiences are fun and can do us a lot of good - sparking our desire to learn and explore, keeping our relationships fresh and exciting, even boosting our memory. But there’s also a...

Shame is something we all experience (except sociopaths!), but no one wants to talk about. Melia and Gill give a brief overview of Brené Brown's research on shame – including why it's harmful, how it affects women and men, and how to overcome it. They share how shame shows up in their own lives (hint: The Shame File is an actual document Melia keeps) and steps we can all take to identify our shame triggers and begin to free ourselves of them.
