Meet Kelley

Kelley has seen God's faithfulness and experienced His relentless love pursuing her, even when she was lost in the streets, the sheets, the club, the clinic, and the cult.

While going after what the world had to offer, and feeling empty, more empty than before chasing what the world offers---I tried everything and it did not satisfy. And even while pursuing the riches of the world. God was my last stop. Yet, God pursued me passionately.

She has witnessed His faithfulness and amazing keeping power firsthand.

She found Him to be faithful and true—better to her than she ever was to herself.

God rescued her from shame, condemnation, regret, guilt, homelessness, and hopelessness.

He delivered her from trafficking, domestic violence, spiritual abuse, childhood trauma, and addictions.

She has endured painful losses, including the loss of beloved pets, yet found comfort in God's unwavering love.

Her life is a testimony of redemption, proving that God's grace is greater than any pit, past or problem.

She endured years of spiritual and emotional abuse within a cult-like church system that persecuted her for being a survivor of trafficking, and for believing God wants to reach other survivors.

The elders and appointed mentors constantly reminded her she was "one of those women," mocking her for her desire to reach the women so that they could have safe, natural housing. The leaders and elders dismissed this desire as being a ridiculous idea.

Lacking knowledge of the true gospel, she couldn't challenge their twisted interpretations that reinforced their authority.

Conditioned since childhood to recognize only physical and verbal abuse, she failed to see the emotional and spiritual manipulation.

Since the church wasn't outwardly violent, and she had exhausted all other options, she believed God was her last hope.

She was told to get right with God, she had to be in church. She was told she could not hear from God because she had yet to take their classes. She was told to forget everything she thought was God because it wasn't (according to the leaders and elders)--so she felt she had betrayed God when she woke up away from the cult ---feeling of shame and condemnation ---felt so bad for having been deceived.

They were so legalistic they told her no bright colors, They said "calm down, it will wear off like ours did." This made me feel like this was a shameful thing.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, on a zoom, she found other people in other places that were excited about Jesus. They were speaking her language and just as excited about Jesus as she was.

She endured years of condemnation, criticism, and shame, afraid of being kicked out of the church because of the mistreatment of the appointed church leaders.

From 1992 to 2017, she followed what she later recognized as a deceptive system disguised as faith.

She unknowingly moved into an apartment she had dreamed about, while she was homeless and dealing with emotional trauma of the aftermath after being in the cult, which became a place of restoration where she finally broke free.

As she discovered the true gospel, she attempted to share it with the spiritual abusers, (people in the cult) but they rejected it.

Now, she reaches out to those damaged by religion, determined to make churches safe again.

If you miss something or slip or mess up or something goes wrong or not what you wanted or how you thought it was going to end up ---it's not God doing it or allowing it, or that He took His hand off ---or forsook, or rebuked or rejected or gave up on you ----He's not mad at you ---He's not trying to discipline you or teach you a lesson with hard times ===because JESUS was the propitiation (the satisfying payment of the penalty, judgement, punishment, wrath, anger toward sin or any misake or failure...trespass or iniquity)

A Ditch on Both Sides of the Street

A ditch on both sides of the Street in religion and in the world - My Journey

OIL SLICKS AND POT HOLES ...

Kelley got worn out jumping through all the hoops and running on all those treadmills in the religious world and the world at large. In my journey detoxing from religion, I have experienced anything from very legalistic, which tells you all the hoops you have to jump through or the treadmills to run on to be accepted by God. But the truth is He can never be more pleased with you when He put His Holy Spirit in you.

LEGALISM: Trying to obey all the commandments and do everything in your own --what you need to do to be accepted by God --focusing on your performance instead of Jesus's performance, thinking there is still something to do to win the love of God; to stay saved / be approved.

DEAD WORKS: anything you are trying to do to be accepted. Give to charity -- be a good person

SPIRITUAL DEAD WORKS: any kind of spiritual calestenics that you do to be approved by God.

DELIVERANCE

She went through deliverance ministries where cutting of the soul ties, a bible being pushed in the stomach demanding the name of a demon, renouncing the sins of ancestors, not realizing that deliverance was in the salvation package that Jesus paid for on the Cross. In 2019, she started getting the true Gospel and leaning the wonderful truth about the finished work of Christ which is a continuous life-long journey, and the goal of every believer is to get more rooted, and grounded and equipped in the death, burial, and resurrection of the true Gospel.

CHARISMANIA

If you ever heard the term, "God showed up" or if you ever thought to go chase a prophet to get a word, or if you've ever thought that people have special anointings, or if you've ever thought you had to go someplace else, or special lighting, or special music, etc., to get a touch from God, then you've missed the whole point ---the truth is learning how to connect with the Grace of God >>>>Power, Ability, Unmerited Favor, because the truth is YOU ARE COMPLETE IN CHRIST ----you are seated with Him and you are just as righteous as Jesus is if you have been washed in HIS Blood.

HEAVY SHEPHERDING

Under the guise of accountability, AKA: control and manipulation tactics, can't do anything without somebody's permission, can't think outside the box and get treated as being rebellious and getting shunned ..there's a spiritual hierarchy where the pastoral team is considered the elite and the people in the pews are considered subordinate.

Kelley knows first-hand -- she used to do "love gift bags to the women on the streets and in the clubs to show them God's Love. There was heavy shepherding in the cult and she was shunned and shamed for wanting to go outside the box and reach out. After 12 years of that, Kelley went to a spin-off church. She felt a little bit of freedom because of able to relate to the pastor who didn't want to come back to Madison, WI, who had the same zeal and excitement of God, was excited about Jesus also and who also had history of drugs and alcohol and she remembered asking God in that moment why no one was shaming and condemning him for having that excitement and shared similar experiences, ... why was there a difference....and in the very next breath, out of his mouth came the answer, he was able to get away and get mentored properly under a pastor who was able to bring out --unwrap the gifts in a loving environment not in a condemning shaming environment ---it makes all the difference ---it would have been better for her when she came out of the sex trafficking/stripper to have a welcoming--- building up instead of a tear down ...

In 2002, there was a woman pastor wanting my outreach to the women to be under her women's ministry. But she knew her from a previous church. Kelley said "no, it will take more than one woman's ministry, it will take a whole community of people helping these women. But because I knew her from the other church , "yikes" she is not having safe people on her team that could be trusted ...don't want the other women to go through what I went through with jumping hoops and running treadmills and being mistreated as survivor of the sex-trafficking/stripper industry. I didn't want to be part of the 'shooters of the wounded."

The Faithfulness of God

Everything single thing that I spoke in the atmosphere and told them came to pass. I remember calling from my kitchen "California Blonde bombshell come on down."

I had such strong visions of her stepping off the table top hearing the call of God, shackles being unloosed. ... following the voice of the Lord and reaching other strippers ... here's the faithfulness of God. Years later, between 2007, I saw it come to pass in an article.

Then there is another story of God's faithfulness. It is the story of praying for a hooker in Las Vegas. This was a hooker locked in a trunk going to get killed ...I shouted, "Lord, save her so she could reach other hookers." This was January 1992, when I was in my apartment when I used to fast and pray for the sex trafficking industry even though I kept getting mocked, being told it was a ridiculous idea. But little did I know that I was harmonizing Heaven and Earth and actually speaking that out into the atmosphere had a quantum effect which I found out to be true 17 years later in 2007.

I happen to contact an ex-stripper ministry in Michigan in 2007. Of all the daughters of the harvest that I have seen from those crops of prayers, it is amazing I happen to speak to the one that told me that she knew of a hooker in Vegas and as soon as I heard her testimony of being locked in the trunk about to be killed and now she has a ministry reaching other hookers, I fell prostrate at the faithfulness of God after hearing her story on an internet radio and asked God's forgiveness for getting deceived by the cultist teachings, and the indoctrination of doubt and unbelief.

When I called another person from the cult who told me "it will never happen and forget everything that you thought was God before our church, because it was not," I told her to look at TV, right now because it was happening ...you could have heard a pin drop , crickets, on the other end....God was faithful and things were happening even though the persecution from the cult was saying "no way," but God was saying "yay," ... I am so glad I listened to the Holy Spirit and spoke it into the spiritual zone, and just because it was not happening here, it was happening elsewhere. It wasn't until decades later that the ones in the cult that were mocking me started to get "aha" moments and saw the importance of helping "those women." I cannot trust them to help because of all the damages to me and others. I am grateful that God has the last laugh, and He will not be mocked.
