When Gospel Turns Into a Diddy Party

Last updated on: October 31, 2024 at 10:58 am By Dr. Nicole Elaine Avery

0 Comments

Is the “s” in gospel for secular? Following my perusal of “I Slept in Diddy’s House,” an interview with Rod Long–former Diddy producer turned worship pastor of RIG Global Church, my suspicions of the gospel industry’s satanic strands were solidified. During the interview, Long recounts his struggles with producing worldly music and maintaining his spirituality. Although his relationship with Diddy was peripheral, Long repeatedly encounters ethereal instances directly connected to parties he had never attended. After profound introspection, he walks...

Upending Christmas!

Last updated on: October 25, 2024 at 9:47 pm By Dr. Nicole Elaine Avery

It’s time for a change Yes. That’s right!. Upend Christmas! Technically our end-of-the-year celebration hasn’t always been a holy night. Christmas, historically, was a pagan holiday. The tree symbolized rebirth, light, and like the cross of Christ, everlasting life. Santa has been said to be a condensed name for Satan, and his jolly red suit represents service. Yet, the moment it became Christ centered Believers across-the-globe wrested the holiday from the hands of the wicked. And why not? Satanists have... Read more

Salvation is FREE, but Deliverance… Not So Much!

While celebrating the African American Day Parade this past September, in Harlem USA, I ran into a former congregant from my childhood church. She, like so many folks today, abandoned her latter place of worship for an alternative site in search of a deeper relationship with Christ. Although locating a new facility, she expressed her disappointment as she claimed it failed to feed her completely. She proffered that contemporary Christiandom in America is suffering due to their dismissive nature of... Read more

A Prophetic Moment in The Bronx

Prescience steps to the plate Sporting events seem to resonate so prophetically. It’s October. Number 22, Juan Soto is at bat. Ball one. Strike. Another strike. Yet, Juan doesn’t shy away. He leans in for a foul ball, taking a swing at everything coming. Finally, he forces the fast ball! Seven swings in, a three-run home-run is on deck. Seven… the number of completion, and three symbolizes perfection. This gave me all the feels, not only as a Yankee... Read more

The Embers… Why are so Many People dying?

Last updated on: October 26, 2024 at 12:02 pm By Dr. Nicole Elaine Avery

What are the Embers? The Embers introduce the final quarter of the calendar year. A satanic roll call of months suffixed in -ember along with vile October neatly wedged within the line-up. During this cycle, demons, powers, and wicked agents hunt the souls-of-men on an all-out sacrifice spree. The more souls collected, the greater the reward, and the longer Satan roams the Earth, therefore, prolonging his eternal doom… Hell’s fire. Many of the souls snatched from their human home (the...

When you become a god-parent, you think of buying trendy outfits, celebrating birthdays, and sending money when possible. If you are a born-again-believer, you even attempt to take your godchild to church… or at least discuss the gospel with them. Never in my wildest imagination could I fathom being on the front line after the passing of my beloved friend, Tania. How we met We met in college at The University of Charleston in West Virginia. She and a few... Read more

Will Planted Transgenderism become the Silent Takeover?

Last updated on: August 31, 2024 at 2:52 pm By Dr. Nicole Elaine Avery

(Warning: Videos contain adult language and slight nudity) With all the buzz concerning planted transgender women in society, here’s my question: As believers, how do we unpack the paradigm shift of manhood, not only regarding deceptive practices by men disguised as women in politics, entertainment and sports, but what of their counterparts… The boyfriends and husbands pretending to betroth a female companion? How do we, as women, process their staged performances? It seems the world has lengthened the alphabet to include... Read more

On the third Saturday of June 2024, Sha’Carri Richardson, reigning 100m champion, competed for a spot in the upcoming Olympics in Paris, France. By now, you may have heard she’s officially Team USA, but the reason for this blog is to illuminate the prophetic nature in which she ran. Over the last few years, Richardson consistently overcame adversity both on and off the track. One challenge, in particular, not only altered the course of her personal life, but negatively impacted... Read more

In the video, Ms. Ventura is seen brutally tossed and punted by Mr. Combs while desperately attempting an escape from the Los Angeles InterContinental hotel where she and her then boyfriend, Combs, lodged. Following the leak of said video, an apology vlog featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs surfaced via social media. Critics, and fans, took to their personal pages, posts, and tweets in retort to the highly unfavored acknowledgement. Dr. Johnson was one of those individuals. I located his tweets... Read more

Are you wearing shoes with no soul?

Four years ago, I parted ways with 173 pairs of shoes. Yes. You heard me, correctly. The roster included fashion-forward sneakers, stilettos, thigh-highs, and everything in between! While I stood to profit bountifully by re-selling these beauties, as most remained impeccably preserved, the deprivation of COVID-19, along with my spiritual evolution, propelled immediate liberation. Besides, the mere thought of purchasing new shoes did wonders for my soul! Taking a deep inhale, I toted several shoe boxes along with tons... Read more
