Trusting God While Raising A Child Born Premature

Isaiah 53:5New International Version

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.

**

In 2021 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Ruth, who was born premature. In the Black culture I don’t think premature birthing is discussed and how time consuming and how much it costs financially. Don’t think that once they get older the sickness is over because it’s not. Actually , as they get older more is discovered and because the medical field is evolving. When ( Ruth) was a baby , it was recommended that (she) have surgery.. However I didn’t feel the peace of God on that and that was when we were living in a house in Oxon Hill , Maryland. Years later as a single mother I am still dealing with the consequences financially of having a (baby that was born sick ) by myself.

In this season I am learning contentment and I am learning to thank God in all circumstances, in all situations, and all events. So I bless the name of the Lord in the midst of this. I thank God that he has provided insurance. I thank God he has provided money. I thank God he has provided more than enough for me to take care of my daughter.

i say this so that you know don’t think you have a premature baby it’s over when they turn one because it’s not.

You’re just getting started. There are unplanned emergency rooms visits, surgeries , doctor’s notes , excused absence from school due to medical reasons , pediatricians, and so much more involved with having baby born premature. My original due date was October 19, 2021 – she was born September 23, 2021.

No , the father ( Ra’keem ) has not been helpful. I have had to deal and handle this all financially myself but God has helped me. Moral of the story when you have a premature baby brace yourself for the reality of :

  • Stomach surgery
  • Autism diagnosis
  • Asthma
  • Speech Therapy

And so much more. But know that even if you are doing it as a single parent the Lord will send people to help you and he will indeed provide.

Sincerely,

Minister Precious – Diamond S. Chessier

Focusing On Career Advancement

Focusing On Career Advancement

Verse Of The Day – “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows”. – Psalms 23:5 New American Standard Bible

The Answer Is Yes

          So say you have a phone interview for a company and they tell you that you are hired immediately after the interview. You pass your background check, and now things are finally moving in the direction that you need it to head in. Things are finally getting better. But I want to remind you that The Holy Bible says that to whom much is given much is required.

          Right now you might be in a season, where you wish you were living in something better. Well you have to do things like fixing your credit score, building your resume, and maybe even getting more active and involved in the community to build a good reputation. Sometimes you have to broaden your horizon and expand your influence, to get connected to the right people that will help elevate you into a better season.

          I believe that you are about to hear the word, “Yes” and you are about to hear the word, “YES” a lot. I believe that you are going to start smiling and hearing better words for yourself and that God is going to help you achieve what you desire to achieve, and it shall happen supernaturally.

Ignore The Stupidity

          I know that I am a prophet, and I know that I am a ordained minister. Sometimes people get jealous of me, and I have to ignore them and keep going. I used to have a really bad anger problem, but God is healing me from that issue of anger. You have to learn to ignore people, because they mumble and say things under their breath because they are jealous of you. Do not allow people’s comments to hurt your feelings instead cause it to roll off your back. Move on and know that God is still going to keep advancing you. God does not need someone permission to bless you. God does not care if someone does not want to see you blessed because he is going to bless you anyways. Moral of the story, learn to ignorance and keep going. Do not be foolish, and do not idle away your time worried about what someone else thinks, but instead move on and let God fight your battles.

2 Chronicles 20:15 King James Version

15 “And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s”.

The Purpose Of Elevation

The Purpose Of Elevation

Verse Of The Day : “Fair and beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth, Is Mount Zion [the City of David] in the far north, The city of the great King”. – Psalms 48:2 Amplified Bible

Making Better Decisions

          Two years ago, I went through a very dark betrayal from my soon to be ex-husband Ra’keem. During that time, I have no idea how I made it and it could have only been the grace and power of God. I was shocked to find out that some people get so jealous of you that they conspire legally to destroy you, and then God has to step in and stop them (Isaiah 54:17 AMP). As a single mother, as I have started moving forward and moving on with my life I have to recover and heal , and at night wipe my own tears away. I had to be strong for myself. I had to make decisions that were best for me and my child. I had to pick myself up and keep going. I know that the word of God says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and it is true. No weapon of lying shall prosper. No weapon of eviction shall prosper. No weapon of being wrong accused and arrested shall prosper. No weapon shall prosper. I decided that I would speak good things and know that everything is working for my good and that it is good.

It Will Get Better   

          I was studying the book of lamentations and how the prophet felt while writing. That is why I like looking at that chapter because he keeps it all the way real. He is telling you the truth and he is saying that he was indeed going through a tough time. He was a prophet and he was going through a wilderness and many times he asked God why, but he kept going. But there is this verse that got my attention in Lamentations 1:12 International Version , ““People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me”. I heard God say, “To get you out faster and quicker, I have to let someone suffer what you suffered. Do not aide them, just keep going”. In this season, people are going to suffer what you suffered, and you must keep going forward. The people who did harm to you are going to suffer and be repayed the evil that they delivered because they are reaping what they have sown. I want you to know that the word of God says in Psalms I believe that they who sow in tears shall reap in joy. I believe that God is preparing you to reap in joy and  I want you to know that this too shall pass. You are walking down a road into Elevation. You will be elevated and you will be blessed I believe that in 2026 it is a Psalms 23:5 year, that God is preparing tables of blessings, favor, and grace on your behalf.

Kingdom Marriages Loading…

Matthew 19:5-7Expanded Bible

And God said, ‘So a man will leave his father and mother and be ·united with [joined to] his wife, and the two will become ·one body [as though they were one person; T one flesh; Gen. 2:24].’ So they are no longer two, but one. God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them.”

While Working

I was doing research and found so many amazing pictures of marriage. I found black Marriages. I found interracial marriages. I found Jewish marriages and they were great pictures. But while I was looking at pictures God told me to believe him for something great in my love life. I must admit, right now I am in the midst of divorce… but God told me that my next husband is a GREAT husband. I decided that I would believed God for his promises that I am a woman who believes, and I am woman who loves much. I have faith that God would bless me with a good husband and a marriage that will be used for his Glory and his purpose.

Working While I Wait

Right now I serve at church as a Usher. I am rebuilding myself, and molding myself into a woman of God. But I also started running again, and taking better care of my body. I have lost 134 pounds so far. In 2022 when I got on the scale I was a whopping 354 pounds after the baby. In October 2024 I was 223. So I am very close to my goal . But I made the decision that I wanted to live and be healthy. Also, I decided to lose more weight to prepare my body for birthing again. I did not want to become pregnant at 354 pounds because that would have pushed me to 400 pounds. Below is a picture of me at 354 pounds.

Now because I was in The Marines, the 354 was really sold. It was not loose fat. So I am grateful for that. But I just don’t like having stretch marks and roles. I used to be really against getting cosmetic surgery to have extra skin removed, but what I will say is now if you lose weight and have to have the skin removed for health reasons that do what is best. I have to get my knees realigned and right now I am looking for a specialist. In case you did not know getting very big can mess your knees up very badly. So right now even though I have stretch marks and what not I am still trying to get my body back to what I looked like before pregnancy. But what I will say is that black women , do not eat so much fastfood while pregnant. I ate a lot of Chipotle, Popeye’s, and Chick Fil A and I got to 354. So just watch how much fast food you consume.

Love Yall,

Precious-Diamond Sandre’a Chessier, Usher

Managing Your Emotions Online

Managing Your Emotions Online

By : Apostle Precious-Diamond Sandre’a Chessier 

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, – Galatians 5:22 

Ignoring Stupidity 

In the books of Acts, it discusses how the Apostles were persecuted and yet they got back up and kept going (Acts 5). As bad as I wanted to give up because I was so ANGRY at what happened to me, I decided that I had to keep going. Anger is a serious emotion, and anger can cause you to say and do a lot of things that will hurt other people (EZekiel 2:5-7). I know that I have an anger problem, and no I am not abusive and I am calm until someone does something that is stupid – well then after that it just goes left. 

But I realized that in the middle of the social media obsessed world, the internet is not real. There are people online who are cowardly and will NEVER say what they say online to your face because they are cowards. Now me being ghetto fabulous that I am , I have learned to fight with prayer and to trust God (Proverbs 3:5-6).

A few nights ago there was a police officer that pulled me over (even though my lights were on – one had just gone out) so he pulled me over and began to ask me questions. He asked for my proof of insurance and my I.D. , during the entire ordeal the police officer was being belligerent, rolling his eyes and saying stupid comments that were tailored towards my ethnicity as a black woman,, and then he even pretended to not be able to hear me so that I would raise my voice at him but I didn’t I responded the way that was appropriate for the situation. Then he said I was “pulling out the big guns” (which is him trying to lie and say I had a gun in the car) because I was looking for my proof of insurance on my laptop. So, in the end he walked away and said it was a “warning” slamming his hands on my car door (I guess he got upset that did not scare me)… but when I drove away I thought about how badly that police officer wanted me to argue with him because I was black but I would not give him what he wanted so he had no choice but to go away. The word of God says to resist the devil and he will flee. One, he did not believe my car was mine at first but yes I bought my own car. Two, he was racially profiling me for having a nice car. But when I looked online, I saw that I am not the only one going through this. Matter of fact, I just saw a horrific video of a mother who had a nice house and a police officer barged into her home without a warrant and said he owns her house now because he stepped inside her house… and guess what? She was a white woman. Yes, she was a white woman arrested by the police because she had a nice home. So God had to show me that not everything is  because I am black but there is a spirit of the anti-christ on the police officers in this hour and that is why as believers we cannot give up but keep going. 

The End Is Not Yet

In real estate there is a term called “police powers” and no police do not have all power. That term means that wherever you live if they do not agree with your lifestyle as a Christian (if you are renting or live in a neighborhood) then they have the right to penalize you for paying your rent and they have the right to eject you even if you pay your rent on time. Yeah, I just found that out. So, to go with the gay agenda at hand police officers have begun to eject families that are husband and wife, through “police powers” in real estate which is so much targeting is at hand. 

In the midst of this when dealing with the police control your emotions, because they can use your emotions against you in a false police report. Not only that, police officers watch your social media all day (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) and use it against you as evidence if you are in a small town and have influence. You have to control what you say online. 

Conclusion 

For the past year I have been back and forth in anger, but I know that I have to keep going. God had to remind me that there is a demonic spirit of the antichrist on police officers and though it started with blacks, it has trickled over to families who are husband and wife . The prophet Morris Cerrullo said that the antichrist would declare himself as not having a gender, and that day is here. Because the police officers have the spirit of the anti-christ they are antagonizing families who stand firm in the belief of the gender male and female. I know I was angry all last year, you might have been going through too. I pray it gets better for you. Amen.
