Finally sharing my salvation testimony! I have such a desire to share Jesus with the world so what better way to share my personal encounter with Him? When you meet the king of kings and the Lord of Lords you can NEVER be the same, and such was the case for me, and all of those who have met Him. I pray this blesses you and that you share with someone who needs to meet our Jesus!

No long post. I’m grateful to be alive, in my right mind, and in relationship with the King of Kings. God has been so incredibly faithful, in ways I see and understand, and in so many more ways that I will never see, but nevertheless know. When you see me smile, understand that it does not mean that my life has not been without challenges—quite the contrary—but more powerful than any storm I have encountered is the Peace of the One that lives within me. I am painstakingly aware that I’d be dead, depressed, or clinically insane if not for His hand on me. I know the specific points in my life where all three results should have, and could have been my end, but God intervened. So if I do nothing else, I will praise the name of the One who owns me, who knows me, and who has saved and continually saves me.

Given certain circumstances, I should be incredibly sad today. Yet, I am shrouded in joy and an otherworldly faith. That will always be one of the million pieces of evidence before me that my God is alive and well.

Happy birthday to meeeee🎉🎉🎉 by @ministertracy

I remember sometime in early 2018, a bit before we were engaged, the Lord told me to prepare myself as we would be with child quickly after our wedding. I remember sobbing, grieving our lofty plans of traveling and enjoyment for the first two years of marriage. I remember hubby lovingly laughing at me for crying about something so distant (in his defense I was pretty dramatic lol), but in my spirit I knew two things: 1) what God said would surely come to pass, and 2) my ‘yes’ to God’s plan would cost me something that I didn’t want to give up. Sure enough, we married in April and had Shiloh in March. Ahava followed two and a half years later, and Rael, two years and three months after that.

Man oh man, am I grateful to God that His thoughts are not like ours and His plans are greater than our own. I am grateful that He saw what I couldn’t see: three little girls, three destinies, three powerhouses that the earth needed for a time such as this. My ‘yes’ did indeed cost me something, but knowing what I know now, I’d lay that down every single day for what I gained instead.

On the 21ST NIGHT OF SEPTEMBERRRR we had the most amazing time celebrating our Ahava on her third birthday! When she voluntarily sang happy birthday to herself, I melted! forever grateful to our community 💜 💜 💜

After 3 grueling years of hard work, late nights and God given tenacity and strength, my sister has finally graduated and is officially a Nurse Anesthesiologist!!!

Sometimes several weeks would go by without seeing my sister, despite the fact that she lives close by. This experience truly required everything from her, and by extension, her family too. I’m so excited to get my sister back, and for her to be able to see the fruit of her labor. So please understand, this is a celebration for our ENTIRE family. Well done, P, we are so proud! @_itsme_p

p.s. did you know this song was inspired by the musicians’ love for God? Their intent was to tell everyone to celebrate His goodness. No wonder so many years from now, it’s still being danced to around the world! Praise the Lord with us! by @ministertracy

The Christian life is a wild one. Walking in faith requires that you look CRAZY to anyone who isn’t operating in faith, or is, but hasn’t seen what you have, and thus isn’t convicted to believe what you believe.

It means that you very much understand the risks of failure but you act in faith anyway. It means that you know you will experience ridicule, questions, and judgment, but you do it anyway. It means that more often than not, the notion of falling flat on your face is physically, logically, mentally LOUDER and a much more obvious result than any potential success.

It means literally feeling like jumping face first out of a plane without a parachute but trusting that somehow, someway, you will be caught. It means staring the odds directly in the eyes, voice and knees wobbling, and nevertheless saying, “MOVE!” It means that even when you do fail, you dust yourself off, pick yourself back up and allow yourself to believe again.

The christian life REQUIRES that you exercise this kind of faith, or it is not a Christian life at all. If your faith doesn’t have you looking absolutely out of your mind then ask yourself—is it faith that I am walking in? If you have a plan B to fall back on, you might have a hope, but it isn’t faith.

Recently we bought a ticket to NOLA in faith that we would attend the Super Bowl and see the eagles win. We did so (on a whim) without a hotel, a game ticket, or a plan. God rewarded that faith with a FREE gorgeous hotel stay in the French quarter (shoutout Steph & J), and an ALL ACCESS Super Bowl ticket. While some of these things required money, and some did not, ALL of them, however, required faith. And oh, y’all know how the game went 🦅😏

To add a cherry on top baby girl had two incredible flights, I got to watch hubby live out a lifelong dream, and I got to reunite with my best friend💗the week of the trip was my hardest mommy week yet, and this trip was just the refreshing I needed. Faith has many, many benefits. by @ministertracy

7.30.24. Words fail me ::proceeds to type a missive::
All I can say is that I am in awe of God almighty. ::continues to say way more::

33 blessed years on this earth.
10 years in Christ. 9 years natural. 8 years in love with my person. 7 years an attorney. 6 years a student of the Holy Spirit. 5 years an aunty, 5 years a wife. 4 years a minister. 4 years a mother. 3 years a homeowner + investor. 2 years a mother of two. And in this year, what I am most grateful for, is that this is the very first year that God, and His infallible Word, has been enough.

Let me explain—before now, although I’d been rooted in Christ, I was more rooted in people’s opinions of me. I always required validation, be it from loved ones, close friends, leaders, etc. A pat on the back, an “I agree”, an “I understand”, “you heard correctly from God”, “you’re doing well”, etc, before fully obeying God. Do you know what it means to depend on man for the life giving sustenance that God gives? To replace the Word of God TO you for man’s validation OF you? It means that when men fail you, you will crumble. The Bible says life is but a vapor, so imagine how He must feel watching us build our foundations upon dust, while rejecting His word that cannot and will not ever fail.

The long story short is that I did indeed crumble, but out of the ashes arose someone who looked more like Him. Someone who trusted Him blindly, painfully, against all odds and opinions to the contrary. Someone who finally accepted God’s word as true, as final, as enough. This is 33. by @ministertracy

Thus says the Lord: You are surely coming out, and coming out unscathed. The pit the enemy thought would be your end, I turned around for your good. The fire you were put in burned up everything that tied you down, that burdened you, that oppressed you. But because you fainted not, I have preserved you with My right hand, and removed the stench of Egypt off of you. Out you come, purer than the finest gold, and no one will be able to detect the scent of smoke. I have cleansed you, and given you new garments. You can now be used as I always intended. Gather your things, gird up your loins. There is a great work to be done.

Oh love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

He who sits in the heavens laughs! Psalm 2:4

I was recently in a situation where this scripture was opened up to me in real time. I came up against spiritual opposition that set out to belittle, defame, and destroy me. My flesh was HURT. If it had its way, it would’ve revolted and fought, hard. But at the same time, I was simultaneously and utterly SUBDUED. No words, no response, no physical reaction. I felt my spirit man that rise up within me and laughed the laugh of those seated in heavenly places. I’d always heard the scripture before, but this time it encountered me right where I was. I mean, the revelation hit me so powerfully that if I opened my mouth, a thunderous laugh would’ve erupted out of my belly. And I’m not talking about a laugh that mocks; I’m talking about a laugh that carries divine frequency. A laugh that isn’t directed at someone or something horizontally, but is a vertical expression of the knowledge that I SECURED by the great I AM. In that moment, I could’ve gone up against anyone and anything, because I understood that the heavenly seat I occupied was physically and spiritually too high for anything to reach me, without first reaching God.

Put another way: have you ever watched a child play hide and seek with their parent? They gleefully run to go hide in a dark closet or lay under a bed, and with every second that goes by they are filled with eager anticipation of being discovered by mom or dad. If you think about it, outside of this playful context, most children don’t like standing in dark or obscure places. Many children actually fear them. However, in the context of hide and seek, children wait with an anticipation so delightful, you can hear them giggling before the door ever opens. Somehow, they are FULLY ASSURED mom or dad will burst open the closet door or drop to the spot under the bed at any second. Before the situation ever changes. Before there is any actual sign of rescue. They can laugh before they are discovered, because they already know that they are found.

I pray you enter into that revelation of laughter in this next season.

At my birthday dinner, my husband asked my family to say the first thing that comes to mind when they think of me. In true Bempong fashion, they all said several words, and with each hand gesture (😂I know where I get it from now) their words watered places in me that I didn’t know were dry. Super thankful to God for all of them.

10/10 recommend letting people pour into you, particularly when you’re used to being the pourer. It’s safe here💗 by @ministertracy

Happy birthday to me! 🎈 WHEN I SAY IM THANKFUL?! Just know when you see this smile it’s because God did something greater for me than anything He could ever give me. He’s revealed HIMSELF to me and in doing so, He’s revealed ME to me. In this season, “Abba” has a different ring to it. In this season, DAUGHTER holds my heart captive. The intricacies of His heart toward His children is unknowable because of its great, great depth, but I’m thankful today to understand and experience that love personally. It’s a love that shatters my shame and dances on my doubt and makes a folly of my fears! If you hear me burst forth in song off key in the natural, just know I’ve downloaded a flow that is in melodious sync with the angels and elders in heaven. If you see me praising, if you see me dancing, if you see me radically rejoicing?! Join me or get out my way! God has been too good to me to keep silent and this unspeakable joy has a VOICE! His love is for meeee! And it’s for you too! Thank God for me! by @ministertracy

YOU. Yeah, you. Do the thing. Start the business. Launch the website. Sell the car. Release the word. Write the book. Press send. Apply to that job. Make the offer. Post the video. Make the move. Quit the job. Apologize to that person. Break the curse. End the relationship, it’ll cost you your life. Join that church. Take the test. File the LLC. Toss the crystal. Pray for that person, IN person. Make that phone call. Submit the proposal. Do the walkthrough. File the petition. Burn that gift he/she gave you. Book the photoshoot. Buy the baby clothes. You’re already ready, you’re already set, so GO🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

You’ve been wondering how it’s going to get done, and that has kept you from moving forward. But God has it all worked out.

You’ve counted the cost and are lacking. Start with what you have, and trust God to provide the rest.

You’ve come close to executing but the fear of “what will they say” has kept you bound. You don’t answer to “they”, you answer to God.

You’ve been unable to clear enough time in your schedule to do it all in one sitting, so you haven’t done anything at all. Even if it’s five minutes here and ten minutes there, START. It adds up.

I know you think you have more time. I’d be lying to you if I said there will always be time—it’s simply not true. Sometimes, there is a window of opportunity that we can miss if we don’t move in season. This is your reminder to MOVE IN SEASON, as the Lord has put in your heart to. Do it in faith. Do it today. Do it right now. There is someone on the other side of your obedience. They are waiting for YOU. This might shock you, but YOU, are also waiting for you. It’s better on the other side. by @ministertracy
