#8 - Come to the Cross or Be Crushed by the Counterfeit

"The enemy doesn’t need to make you a Satanist. He just needs to keep you from the Cross." — Leah Steele

The enemy has engineered a system—through culture, comfort, and counterfeit spirituality—designed to keep you from ever walking in the Kingdom of God.

In this Good Friday episode, Leah exposes how deception and desensitization are being weaponized to blind you from truth, drain your discernment, and block the supernatural freedom only the Cross can give.

Whether you're a new believer, still in the New Age, sitting in church but spiritually asleep, or just starting to question what’s real—this is your call to wake up, rip off the veils, and choose truth over the counterfeit.

🔍 Key Takeaways

• Jeremiah 21:12 is a prophetic charge, not a suggestion—act now, rescue the deceived, and stand against evil.

• Desensitization is spiritual warfare—culture is being used to program numbness.

• Deception wears light well—the enemy doesn’t need you to worship him, just to stay “fine” without Jesus.

• You can’t discern without the Holy Spirit—and without discernment, you’re wide open to bondage.

• Resurrection isn’t symbolic—it’s supernatural power to see, speak, and stand against the counterfeit.
