👑 Crowns, Clout & Calling: Why Discernment Is the Real Throne
A Divine Rise Studio Post by Pamela “The Phoenix Coach” Jackson
Once upon a timeline, we weren’t wearing the crowns—we were chasing them.
You know the vibe:
We’d scroll past the girl with 100k followers, see her matching manifestation candles and designer altar cloths, and think:
“Whew, she must be chosen!”
But let’s be real.
A lot of us weren’t following God.
We were following glitter.
And baby, glitter don’t guarantee glory.
👀 When the Crown Becomes a Distraction
We’ve mistaken crowns for callings.
✨ We thought aesthetic meant anointing.
✨ We thought clout meant character.
✨ We thought being seen meant being safe.
But deep down, we felt the discomfort.
Something was off… but we didn’t want to question it.
Because asking questions makes you the “hater” in a culture that’s allergic to discernment.
😩 The Shift: When Discernment Hits Different
Discernment is not spiritual paranoia.
It’s the divine download that saves you from wasting your purpose on platforms that were never built for your voice.
It’s what helps you pause before you co-sign, before you collab, before you crown someone who isn’t even called.
Without discernment, you’ll clap for the wrong queen and miss your own coronation.
You’ll end up building temples to people who were only meant to be a footnote in your story.
Discernment doesn’t ride the algorithm — it rides revelation.
🚫 Why Crowns Can’t Save You
Crowns look good on camera.
But calling?
Calling sustains you when the audience disappears.
Some of us crowned people out of desperation.
We wanted to belong. We wanted to be seen.
But the cost?
Our intuition.
Our voice.
Our alignment.
We traded divine instruction for digital validation.
🧠 How to Reclaim Your Discernment
1. Unfollow to unclog your spirit.
If it drains you, distracts you, or disrespects your discernment—it’s gotta go.
2. Pray before you post.
The message hits different when it’s been filtered through spirit instead of Canva.
3. Stop mistaking “vibes” for verification.
Just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it’s true.
4. Check the fruit, not the followers.
What’s growing in their life? Peace? Integrity? Or just PR?
👑 The Real Crown Is Your Calling
Sis… the truth?
The crown isn’t on your head.
It’s in your character.
It’s how you show up when no one’s clapping.
It’s how you keep going even when no one’s reposting.
You were never meant to chase crowns.
You were born to carry them.
Discernment is the new luxury.
And in this economy of false idols,
counterfeit lightworkers,
and curated chaos…
The ones who can see clearly will be the ones who rise divinely.
👑 Crown her? Yes.
But clone her? Never.
Because when God calls you, you don’t need a committee to co-sign.
