Ashes of Kappa: Magdalene
My life was fundamentally changed forever.
My thoughts were radically transformed.
My spirit was marked by peace.
I had no grid for anything demonic other than a handful of Bible verses and the book The Screwtape Letters, and I had definitely never met anyone personally who publicly shared his or her testimony of deliverance from evil spirits or ever mentioned anything about literal curses. It felt like something that should be kept quiet. Though I was never taught this directly, I assumed it through the silence I heard.
Yet, there was a woman who traveled with Jesus and supported his ministry (Luke 8:2), she remained with him at the Crucifixion, and “…when He had risen, early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had driven seven demons. She went and told His companions who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe” (Mark 16:9-10).
The Apostle John tells Mary’s story of the resurrection of Jesus this way: “When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?’ She thought it was the gardener and said to Him, ‘Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, ‘Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father, and your Father, to my God and your God.’ Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord,’ and what He told her,” (John 20:14-18).
I am offering my story because maybe you also had a family member who was a Mason, or maybe you joined a sorority or a fraternity. Maybe no one told you that curses are actually real, or maybe no one told you that Christians cannot join secret societies.
Here is the Good News: it is not too late for you. Freedom was purchased for you 2000 years ago on a hill called Golgotha.
I am Frankie, out of whom Jesus drove many demons.
I am Frankie, from whom Jesus broke curses.
I am Frankie, and I declare: “I have seen the Lord.”
I invite you to pray with me: Holy Spirit, guide me into all truth. In Jesus name. Amen.
Meet Freshman Frankie
It was a wild year. Within three months of college, I was having regular panic attacks and constantly riddled with crippling anxiety. It climaxed with a night where I had a plan and a desire to end my life. Thanks be to God: Holy Spirit put a thought in my head: “call mom and tell her.” I was terrified that she would be angry with me, but she met me with love, the power of the Gospel, and prayed for me in the name of Jesus. The next morning came, and I surrendered my life again to Jesus. This time was different: I gave Him everything and told Him I could actually do nothing apart from Him.
When second semester came around, I was learning to live with Jesus and was actively asking Him for Christian friends. Sorority recruitment arrived mid January. Though I never had one of those “rah rah” personalities — I could have cared less about sports teams and was never into school spirit — I was intrigued. Secrets fascinated me, and I just wanted to meet more girls. Plus, it did not help that I really missed my best friend from high school. It was a perfect recipe to jump into the mixer.
The process was intense, and I prayed and prayed to be able to join Kappa Kappa Gamma. My older sister was a Kappa, and it felt exclusive on our campus, elite in some way. I chose them, and they chose me. They had a whole song and dance for me telling me how much they all wanted me. It felt… comforting. It felt good to be wanted.
So I joined, and I was happy about it. My prayers were even answered, and I met three other Christian women in my sorority who went on to become some of my closest friends throughout undergrad.
Lack of Knowledge
Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Had you asked me when I was 19 if there was anything demonic about Kappa Kappa Gamma, I would have confidently rejected this thought completely. We had Kappa Fellowship, a weekly Bible study, and there were other Christian women in the organization. I never got drunk even once at any Kappa function and was often even evangelizing at fraternity parties and sorority socials. When non-Christian fraternity boys tried to go on dates with me, I kindly turned them down. I had intense spiritual encounters during the middle of parties where men and women would come to me asking me how to know God.
Yet, the organization itself is corrupt and spiritually extremely dangerous to willingly join.
Did God put me in Kappa to reach the lost? The Father does not lead me to violate His Word in order to accomplish His mission. It was His mercy that He still used me, but it was never His will for me to join a satanic organization to preach the Gospel.
Greek Gods = Demons
Kappa Kappa Gamma proudly and publicly chronicles: “At earlier conventions in the 1880s, … Minerva, the goddess of wisdom (Athena to the Greeks) was chosen as the patron goddess.” Regularly, Minerva was invoked and honored during both initiation and formal chapter meetings. This is not a practice that started and ended in the 1880s. I invoked the name Minerva and yoked myself to Minerva through oaths and rituals.
God takes idolatry very seriously. “You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments” (Exodus 20:2-3). It is not on the table ever for a Christian to be dedicated to any other god or goddess. We are consecrated to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit alone by the Blood of Jesus.
Yet, I willingly traded the promises of my baptism for the acceptance of other women through professing verbal oaths and performing rituals to join myself to this organization dedicated to a false goddess. I am shocked that I did not see this because even before analyzing any of the rituals or their origins, this is a major Christian no-no. It is not a matter of opinion or personal conviction. It is based on the Word of God.
So simple: my conclusions and discernment was absolutely flawed at its core. Saint Paul writes, “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4).
Furthermore, Saint Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10: “So what I am saying? That meat sacrificed to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything? No, I meant that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to become participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and of the table to demons. Or are we provoking the Lord to jealous anger? Are we stronger than he?”
The words and rituals that I offered were actually offered to this demon called Minerva, which is terrifying.
Manslaughter vs. Murder
In our justice system, there are serious consequences for the violation of life, regardless of the intention. Many are in prison because they did not mean to end a life, but the fact is that because of their action someone did in fact die.
If I did not intend to participate with demons, I must not actually be culpable.
In my case, I never thought I was participating with demons, but the fact is that weekly I was a member of an organization dedicated to Minerva, a Greek goddess, a demon. I willingly made oaths and rituals that yoked myself to this demon, and publicly I professed membership in Kappa Kappa Gamma.
There were spiritual consequences to partaking in this cup of demons: it was never the will of the Lord in my life to lose my period for nearly two years, have dramatically imbalanced hormone levels, or experience the mental distress of depression, anxiety, and confusion. But my own actions actually welcomed this demonic harassment when I committed myself to the service of Minerva and joined the demonic priesthood of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Is it really that bad?
Recently, I was listening to a West African woman, Isi Igenegba preach, and she said, “Do not make demonic pets. You cannot domesticate a demon!”
Here is the truth: yes, it is that bad. This manifested in my life through infertility, and since I started sharing my own story, men and women have reached out to me to share their own suffering with me, including infertility, miscarriages, psychotic episodes, and other manifestations of the demonic.
Jesus never wanted me to experience these, and He even died to spare me from these consequences. Yet, I willingly opened this door to these demons and was tormented accordingly.
God takes oaths and rituals very seriously.
It is all over Scripture. Our words, every one of them, matter.
Hebrews says, “When God made the promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, ‘He swore by Himself,’ and said, ‘I will indeed bless you and multiply you. And so, after patient waiting, he obtained the promise. Human beings swear by someone greater than themselves; for them an oath serves as a guarantee and puts an end to all argument. So when God wanted to give the heirs the promise an even clearer demonstration of the immutability of His purpose, He intervened with an oath, so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, which reaches into the interior behind the veil, where Jesus has entered on our behalf as forerunning, becoming high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 6:13-20).
So what does it mean for me if I made an oath to a demon…? The significance is unbearable, and I see how my life was positioned for great suffering, especially as I consider the potential impacts on my life.
Would I have married my husband?
Would my son ever have been conceived?
Would I have had miscarriages?
Would I still have depression?
Would other areas of my life be in torment?
Thanks be to God, Holy Spirit met me with discernment, and in my desperation I surrendered. I desperately clung to the voice of the Lord and did exactly as He instructed me.
“Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged. Rather, we have renounced the shameful, hidden things; not acting deceitfully or falsifying the word of God, but by the open declaration of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God” (2 Corinthians 4:1-2).
This is what Holy Spirit told me to do:
In the name of Jesus, I renounced Kappa Kappa Gamma.
I repented for everything that I had done in Kappa: the rituals, the oaths, the participation, the words, the sisterhood, the family, the handshakes, and the attendance [Out From Among Them Ministries].
I destroyed every Kappa item of clothing and all other paraphernalia.
I publicly denounced Kappa Kappa Gamma and officially removed myself from the organization.
Everything that once yoked me to demons was broken by the Blood of Jesus, and I met Jesus as my Great High Priest and received the freedom He purchased for me 2000 years ago with His Blood.
Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand
Now, for me, here is the scary part: the story of my great grandfathers almost repeated in me. I also joined a Masonic organization, never intending to interact with the demonic whatsoever, hoping for good friends, and believing there was no significance whatsoever to those silly words and bizarre rituals I willingly participated in with my so-called sisters. I once professed agreement that the goodness of women can be found outside of the Blood of Jesus and willingly yoked myself to Minerva, a literal demon.
Lord, have mercy.
There is freedom in repentance: simply turning away from sin and towards Jesus Christ.
Turn away from the satanic organization and towards Jesus Christ.
Turn away from everything you did and towards Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:13 says, “But the law does not depend on faith; rather, ‘the one who does these things will live by them.’ Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, ‘Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,’ and the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
The more I reflect on what I actually did in Kappa Kappa Gamma, the more shocked I am that I ever joined. I never saw what I see today, and I thank Jesus Christ for the great gift of wisdom, the revelation of the Bible, and the ability to repent.
“I know that my Redeemer lives.”
My body was healed.
I went on to marry my holy husband.
We have our healthy son.
Jesus, thank You for the fullness of the freedom that You paid for me with Your Blood.
Behold Him. “Behold the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.”
