Is God Raising Up More Sarah’s ?

Is God Raising Up More Sarah’s ?

            I remember when the News story’s broke out about octomom. She had given birth to 8 children at one time. I remember when I watched the Disney Movie “Quints” – I always knew that I wanted to be a mother. I always wanted the honor to carry a child and give birth. I just didn’t expect life to happen the way it did. When I was pregnant with (Ruth) my ex-husband Ra’keem tried to choke me and punch me while I was carrying on my birthday. His brother jumped me a few weeks after I had a baby. My ex-husband Ra’keem also lied on me to the New Bern Police Department while I was battling post-partum depression because he was angry that I wanted to get the marriage annulled and did not want to be his wife. That led me to be ejected – literally the court documents in New Bern , North Carolina verbally say “because of her husband”. I had gone through some tough things as a mother and yet I recovered and returned back to base camp in Chicago, Illinois.

            Yet, as more doors open for me to sing as a ordained minister and former First Lady. I can tell you that I have been involved with men who cannot conceive a child. I ask God and he said, “Diamond. It is the spirit realm. They are not physically strong enough to conceive a child with you”. I realized that when a man has not accomplished as much as a woman, he cannot conceive with her because his body has not been caused to endure the levels of stress or hardship that she has gone through – which makes them biologically incompatible to reproduce according to the spirit realm.

            Now that has left me very sad – to the point that I have been considering artificial insemination because I am 29 years old. I thought I was going to have a house with a white picket fence by now , have a apple mini-farm in my back yard, and have at least 5 children. Well, I have one child and I love her. But I want to birth more children.

            It is crazy because before I became a Christian I did not believe in the power of fasting and prayer, I did not believe in the Bible, and  definitely did not believe in the story of Sarah. I heard it before but I did not believe. But now I feel like I am walking the past of Sarah. I desperately want a family and more children – but I feel God telling me to wait. I did more research and saw that the oldest woman in modern day history was 74 years old when she conceived. I cry sometimes – me being a woman as I watch everyone else birthing.. But God keeps telling me , “I did not call or choose them. There bloodline does not matter. Because I did not choose them”. At first I loathed that idea, but now I have no choice but to stand firm on the promises of God that I will conceive. I was not necessarily asking for a husband but I did want more children because that is my natural desire to do so as a woman.

            Yet, I have been miserable and depressed. Comparing myself to everyone else online. I felt like people were mocking me in church , “Hey you know so and so have more kids now. You only have one”. Granted they had teeth missing and smelled really bad. But still.

            So though I am a minister, my biological clock  is ticking.. I want to become pregnant and have more children. I don’t necessarily want a husband. But I did want more kids. I have been thinking a lot about Sarah and the pain and humiliation she must have felt watching everyone else become pregnant. I wonder how embarrassing it was for Sarah to watch Hagar walk around with her husband’s baby. I can kind of feel that pain.

            All I ever wanted was a family (Joshua 24:15). I never wanted to be famous, never wanted influence, and never wanted to be a preacher. I just wanted a cozy house, warm Christmas music playing in the background , I wanted to bake pies and cookies for my kids, and I wanted to build a snowman infront of our brick house. I would sit back and daydream of watching my kids play snowball fights with there dad and having the time of there lives. I wanted to bake cookies for my kids to leave out for Santa. I was robbed of that in 2023. Swarmed by police officers who were concerned about influence.. But all I wanted was a beautiful family and a house to raise my kids in. I was preparing to purchase a house and had the money for the deposit. I made a mistake and invested into ministry instead and I regret it. I should have kicked Ra’keem out my house sooner and bought my house while I had a chance.

            Now it seems that debt is building up because of marriage. Depression has seeped in. I do not really believe in faith – but maybe God is trying to show me something.. Maybe faith will lead me to that beautiful brick house , wonderful front yard, and that snowy cookie baking day with my children. I want to experience building gingerbread houses with my children. I was looking forward to rocking my newest baby to the bunch by the warm candlelight fire. As a woman I am depressed and had to lean on God. My dreams of being that type of mother have been shattered because of the F.B.I , the USMC , and the New Bern Police. They USMC just had to hurt me one last time to remind me I was black.

            Now as I am moving forward and singing in ministry in emotional pain. I have to remember Sarah. I have to remember that Sarah was in emotional pain for 90 years. She was praying for more than 70 years for a son named Isaac. When she thought all hope was lost it finally came. I realized that maybe I am not doing enough in the spirit realm. Maybe I should read my Bible more, watch more content about family, or even study more about fertility. I have to do more to have more. There is a lot of witchcraft flowing. But I believe in God. I believe that just like Sarah God will open my womb to conceive again and I will finally have the family that I was promised many years ago.

“Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?” – Genesis 17:17 NLT

Public Marriage Is Government

Public Marriage Is Government

What Does The Bible Say?

               As you all know I have been very public about the things that I have gone through being a public figure and facing divorce from my ex-husband Ra’keem. I learned a hard lesson that “public marriage is government”. I studied the Royal Marriages Act and it helped me to see better and understand better. The word of God says not to be unequally yoked. Many times people take that and use it only for the spiritual realm. No – do not be unequally yoked in business dealings, work ethic, physical strength, and even your mentality. Being with someone who is not “used” to having a better life caused me to deal with someone who almost tore down everything I worked for all because of a “iPad”.

               I believe in Joshua 24:15. I believe that the image of a black family is husband and wife. Everyone black does not agree with me and I’m fine with that. Trust I am not losing any sleep over people who do not agree with me. But as I look at the listings of women online I realize that many of them will never become good wives. The art of being a wife and mother is gone to due the over sexualization of women.

               As a woman I had to relocate back to Chicago in order to get my business dealings back in order. However, I know that this is for a season. Though I am involved in Real Estate dealings in Chicago – I would have to travel here often. Yet, again Chicago is for a season. But while being in Chicago I see the poor productivity being produced in the black home and it’s sad and sickening. The black parents are not producing “effective citizens” in there homes , but instead are producing people that steal , kill , and destroy.

A Better Reward

               All I can do is be obedient. All I can do is release what God told me to do. All I can do is teach blacks how to make the right decisions. Sadly, the old saying goes “you can lead the horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink”. Being in Chicago has opened my eyes to the sad reality in the black community – that though God can give them something better … They don’t want better.

               As someone who is black – I would say be very careful when marrying. It is kind of difficult to teach and preach against racism when there is so much ignorance within the black community itself. But what is disappointing is the aspect of marriage. You have to be careful because marriage will get the devil foothold to destroy everything you have worked for if you are married to the wrong person – and I sadly learned that the hard way.

               If you desire to get married know that that is a major step. Check their credit score, go to therapy, and really investigate to see who that person is. You want to marry someone who is honest and keeps their word.

Conclusion

               Marriage is a serious decision, and you must be wise. Be careful when getting married. I pray that you are truly put into a position to enjoy your life. But I pray that you make a wise decision on who to marry. Do not covet and wish you had someone else’s marriage because you don’t know what is going on in their home.

What A Night It Has Been

Isaiah 54:17New King James Version

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

••

Being a parent comes with unexpected hospital visits. On this episode of the ghetto parenting life chronicles, my ( daughter Ruth) had to be admitted. I believe God for supernatural healing. ( Ruth ) was very sick and throwing up . I say this because as a parent don’t automatically assume that throwing up is normal because it could be a sign that the child needs to go to the doctor.

Because we will be in the hospital for one week. Moral of the story don’t automatically assume that your child is being “extra”, “dramatic”, or “doing something for attention”. Something could really be wrong so get it checked out !

Trusting God While Raising A Child Born Premature

Isaiah 53:5New International Version

5 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,

Learning How To Protect Your Good Decisions

Learning How To Protect Your Good Decisions

Verse Of The Day , “28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

Protecting What You Pray For

          As I was getting ready today a word dropped in my spirit about protecting your decision making. See when you make the right decision, you should know that it is indeed coming from God. However, there are people who may try to conspire against you to try and make it seem like your decision is a lie and it is not , and that is something that I learned the hard way in 2023.

          In 1 Kings 22, the prophet has said that King Ahab was going to die and that prophecy was indeed true. God had already determined that King Ahab was going to die. However, there were 400 people (lying false prophets) that had prophesied success for King Ahab even though they were wrong. Now 400 people had conspired against Prophet Micaiah and tried to make it seem like his prophecy was wrong, so much so that they even arrested him and put him in jail.

“28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

But Micaiah Was Right

          But it did come to pass and it was proven so that Micaiah was right, and all the other 400 people were indeed wrong. King Ahab did die just like Prophet Micaiah said.

          When I read 1 Kings 22 , God began to speak to me that you have to understand some people will lie on you because you are making the right decision, and in the end those who are like Ahab are still going to die. So no matter what they do, you will still come out on top. You will be the head and not the tail. You will be above and not beneath. You have to protect yourself , from the attacks that come from people who are jealous that you are making the right decision. Because the first thing someone will do when they are jealous of your decision is lie and try to have you put into prison, but the God that you serve will not allow that according  Isaiah 54:17.

          I pray that God will show you through reading The Holy Bible, how to guard your good decisions from the devourer (Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 4:23). You have to keep people away from you, who are jealous of your good decisions and who will conspire against you because you are making GOOD decisions.

          Your good choices matter before God, and it is showing that he can trust you with choices and paths. In life you should desire to be responsible and be professional. God has a good thing prepared for your life, but he needs you to gain wisdom in protecting your choices and protecting your decisions.

“The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight”. – Proverbs 9:10 Amplified Bible
