Have you ever accepted something that looked like God’s promise — but deep down, you knew it wasn’t His best? In this episode, I unpack how impatience, doubt, and outside voices can lead us to settle for a counterfeit. Drawing from Abram’s story, we explore the consequences of moving ahead of God’s timing and how to recognise when we’re choosing second best.Don’t settle. Let's to learn how to avoid the trap of the counterfeit and wait well on God’s true design.

“Why deliverance?” is one of the most commonly asked questions today.I’m diving deep into the topic of deliverance and why it’s not just an idea—it’s absolutely necessary for every believer. You’ve heard me teach on this before, but today we’re going straight to the Word of God to uncover the biblical foundation for deliverance and why the church can’t afford to ignore it.

We are the LIGHT, and where Light is, darkness cannot intrude!I am diving into what it really means to walk as light in the midst of darkness. When you understand the power of the Light you carry through Christ, everything changes. Darkness has no choice but to flee when Light shows up — and that Light is in you!Even in your mind, darkness cannot intrude because you are the light! Today, let's unpack the word of God and learn how to keep your mind fortified against the enemy.

God will bless you—because He has to!That might sound bold, but when we understand the nature of the covenant we now have through Jesus, it becomes clear that God's desire is always to bless His people. Many wonder, "Since we’re under a new covenant, does God still have to bless us?" The answer is a resounding yes—and not because we deserve it, but because of His faithfulness.Let's unpack what it truly means to live under the blessing of God. We’ll explore how His promises have carried through from the Old Testament into the New, and what that means for you today. 

Discerning the voice of God is something I know many of us wrestle with. In a world full of noise—our own thoughts, emotions, and opinions from others—it can be hard to confidently say, “I’ve heard from God.”In today’s episode, I’m talking about the question we’ve all asked at some point: “Is it God or is it me?” I’ll be diving into scripture and sharing practical insights to help you recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit in your own life.My prayer is that this episode brings clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection with the One who still speaks today.

"That moment changed everything. I didn’t fully realise what had happened—but I knew I had shut down. For nearly a week, I was silent. Numb."This was Alana’s reality—until Jesus brought freedom through deliverance.In today’s episode, Alana shares her powerful testimony of overcoming the oppression of the enemy and stepping into the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Atmospheres matter—what kind are you creating?What you watch, say, and allow into your home, bedroom, or workplace all shape the spiritual environment around you. It's vital we take responsibility for the atmosphere we create, especially for the sake of our children.Tune in to today’s episode for biblical insight and revelation on how to guard and protect the atmosphere in your home!

Jesus came to heal all who were oppressed by the enemy—not just emotionally, but physically too!The Word heals, faith heals—but sometimes, there are issues that require something more.Matthew 8:16–17 tells us: “That evening the people brought to Him many who were demonised. And by Jesus only speaking a word of healing over them, they were totally set free from their torment, and everyone who was sick received their healing! In doing this, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: He put upon Himself our weaknesses, and He carried away our diseases and made us well.”In today’s episode, we’re diving into what Scripture reveals about the powerful connection between healing and deliverance.

Deliverance is a powerful key for every believer—but knowing how to remain free is just as important!In Matthew 12:44–45, Jesus warns that when an unclean spirit leaves a person, it may return with even greater force if it finds the "house" empty, clean, and unoccupied. This highlights the urgency not only of being delivered but of staying filled—through the Word of God, worship, time in His presence, and more—so there’s no room for the enemy to return.Join me in today’s episode as we talk about how to guard your freedom and live a life fully occupied by God.

We are all called—not just to preach the gospel and heal the sick—but to cast out demons as part of the Great Commission. Deliverance isn’t just for a few; it’s a mandate for every believer.In this episode, we explore the practical process of deliverance: How is it done? Who has the authority to do it? And how can you confidently walk in the power God has given you?Get ready to be equipped, empowered, and activated to walk boldly in your calling.

We know demons are real, and the existence of a demonic realm is undeniable—but where did they come from? What are their true origins and purposes? How did they arrive on Earth, and why does it matter to us today?In this episode, I dive deep into these powerful questions, exploring the Word of God to uncover biblical truths and revelation about the spiritual realm. Together, we’ll seek clarity, insight, and a greater understanding of the authority we’ve been given through Christ.As Luke 10:19 declares: “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy... Nothing will injure you.” Let’s uncover what that really means—so you can walk in the power and authority God has already placed in your hands.

Today, I want to show you, through the Word, the differences between counselling, medication, and deliverance, and explain why I believe deliverance is necessary in these cases—not always in opposition to, but sometimes alongside counselling.Let’s get into this episode to break down how to deal with spiritual issues. To watch this episode: https://youtu.be/i7EcqPugSik?si=Lf7TqWCzxVkmpw9ATo give: https://www.donnahowells.com/connect 

Deliverance is not possible without the anointing—it cannot be faked. It's interesting that, as Christians, there are many things you can do without the anointing. I'm not suggesting it’s a good thing, but many people can preach, lead worship, or pray and get away with it because what they are saying or singing may align with the Word or simply sound good.Our churches can sometimes get by with good services because we’re saying and doing all the right things expected in a meeting. However, one thing you cannot do is cast out or expose a demon without the anointing of God.
