The Word Became Flesh
Embracing Transformation: A Journey of Grace, Identity, and Divine Empowerment
Can you imagine being overwhelmed by painful memories during what should be a celebratory month, only to find divine instruction waiting for you? This is just the beginning of the transformative journey we embark on in the season opener of the Word Became Flesh podcast, season three. Join us as we express immense gratitude for your support in the previous season and set the stage for discovering our unique identities as God's masterpieces. We'll explore how each of us is meticulously crafted by Him, and I'll share a personal story that spans from 2019 to 2024, revealing how God shapes us individually before empowering us to impact others.
Ever felt the pull towards a significant spiritual change amidst life's chaos? April 2019 was that month for me. Despite the trials and resurfacing darkness, a divine nudge led me to embrace a new identity through baptism once again, this time as a "daughter of grace." We'll recount this powerful experience, including how a "bold fast" in July helped me combat fear and embrace resilience and divine guidance. From logistical challenges to unwavering commitment, this chapter is a testament to how God's instructions and our obedience can lead to profound personal transformation.
The journey of spiritual transformation doesn't end in isolation; it often involves sharing significant changes with family. Imagine the emotional tension of revealing a divinely inspired new name to your parents. With advice from spiritual leaders and heartfelt support from my spiritual mother, I gathered the courage to share this change, starting with my mother’s poignant reaction and the backstory of my birth and name. We'll conclude this episode with a powerful call to rise and shine in Jesus, reclaiming our God-given identities and embracing our roles in His kingdom. This season promises to be a journey of faith, discovery, and divine empowerment. Join us as we rise in faith and purpose!

Speaker 1:So the Word Became Flash podcast, officially season two. I'm going to forever say thank you for everybody that made season two fun. We had an amazing time in season two, but now we're in a new beginning of season three that the Lord has trusting us with a new season and we are back. We took a little break. We took a break in July and August and so now we're back in September. Happy Monday, it's your last Monday of September, okay.
Speaker 1:So I want to take you guys to a journey of season three, because season three is going to be an amazing, amazing season. I literally promise you what God has in store for us for this season. It is absolutely amazing. When God was giving me piece by piece, just puzzle by puzzle, I was like God really. So season three is a season where we're focusing on being God's masterpiece, like God really want us to understand how we are his masterpiece, that how I am his masterpiece and you are his masterpiece. So that's where I'm going to, that's where we are going to the journey of season three, where we are going to be going. But before I go further, I just want to share something, because I've been like holding a secret, like I've been really holding a secret and to God be the glory. When the Lord asks you to take a break. There is a reason why God asks you to take a break. It's because there's things that he wants to work in you. You know, like when you're a vessel of God, like when the Holy Spirit convinced and said there's something that you've been holding, and then you're like no, I'm good, I'm okay. So, during the break time, guys, it was an amazing break and and, um, I don't want to, I don't want to make it long, I don't, I don't know. But if we make it long, we're going to probably do part two or we're going to go on on part two, but, um, let's just the Holy Spirit lead, let us, let us take the secret out of, okay, cause it is time, it is time to come out right, it is time to come out Okay. So I want to take you guys to a journey. I want to take you guys to a story, a journey, a journey that started. I love I'm not going to go all the way 2019, because 2019 is so long, but it, the journey, started in 2019 and the Lord accomplished, accomplished one of it in this year of 2024, in July. Okay, so that's um, that's how long. You know, there are things that when God want to work in you, there are things that before you, before he you want to speak on somebody else, god work want to works on you. Right, I was like, okay, god are we going there? Okay, let's go there. So, okay, I want to take you guys to a story During the month of April.
Speaker 1:As I say, april, april is usually my birthday month, but this year, april was the worst month for me, like literally the worst month. It was the month like it took me back to my journey of 2019. When I say my journey of 2019, it took me back to my journey of suicide. That was during April time. Like when they say that the enemy come in like a flood, he literally do come in like a flood in April, april, may, april, may, june. He tried me, he literally did try me, but he did not defeat it. Because, you know, when you know that the enemy is not defeated, it's because the fact that you know you are a daughter of a king, you know, you know you have a king that is holding you, you know like you can come in.
Speaker 1:You know, I went through the season of Jacob in April and I was like. I was like God, I really don't wanna question you, but this is giving Jacob wilderness season and you know it's my birthday month. You know, I was like God, it's my birthday, it's April, my birthday. We're supposed to be spoiling, you know, my daddy, my daddy package. April was not giving that during my birthday month. And and then so I got an instruction in April that I need to get baptized, okay, and I was like I need to get baptized. I was like, yeah, I got an instruction and I was like I need to get baptized. But I was like, but God, I've been baptized. I was baptized at eight years old, you know. But so I stopped fighting with that convention during April time and I just followed the instruction and I got baptized.
Speaker 1:So while I got baptized during the month of April, I heard a word Grace. And then I smiled and I said, lord, I receive your grace, because April really did try me Right. I was like God, I do receive your grace, I am grateful for your grace. Yes, grace, I receive it, I believe it, I walk in it. Okay, so that was during April time, so got baptized in April. So I'm, I'm down here, I'm literally down here on the couch down here writing my testimony on April about my baptism journey. You know how I want to thank God and everything. So when I'm done writing my testimony, I signed a testimony hashtag daughter of grace and I was like is that my new thing? Hashtag daughter of grace. Okay, so that's April.
Speaker 1:So, as my cousin she is doing, she is doing her devotion. You know godly women in this house we thank God for godly women in our lives. So she's doing her devotion and then she's coming downstairs after her devotion she said God tells me to stop calling you Miriam. Your name has changed, your name is Grace. Yo, I looked at this girl and I just laughed at her. And then she's like why are you laughing? It's not funny. And then I'm like oh, if god told you to call me grace, then go ahead, call me grace. And then so, uh, she's like why you keep laughing? And I was like yeah, so I literally laughed the laugh that Sarah laughed, you know, when Abraham came to Sarah and said yo, sarah, we're going to have a baby. Sarah goes baby where Me At my age. And then Abraham is like, yeah, God said we're going to have a baby. That's how my cousin felt. And then she's like, yo, you know, I hear from God, right? And I'm like, yeah, good for you, call me Grace. If you say call me Grace, call me Grace, Okay. So that was sitting down in April, so that's April.
Speaker 1:And I keep moving on with my life. You know, we arrived to the month of July, okay, the month of July, and my pastor, um, my pastor, announcing the church, he said that we're having a fast, we're having a fast, and this fast is going to be called the bold fast. I'm just there sitting and sitting on the, on the, on the pew, okay, okay, apostle, bold fast. Okay, let's do this. Right, and I was, and then, as apostle said, bold fast. I'm like, is there'm like, is there anything? Is there anything that I need? Boldness? I was like, I was just like cautioning myself. I'm like I don't think so, I think I'm good, but I'll join the fast, I'll do the fast. So, um, in July, I did the bold fast. It was a three day, wonderful, powerful fast that we did.
Speaker 1:And so, during that month of July, the first day, I went to the fast. The second day, y'all, I couldn't go to the fast girl didn't have gas in the car. So I sit down in my car. I say God, I really need this boldness, but there's no gas in my car. So therefore I cannot go join Like the only I had gas.
Speaker 1:But I was trying to be, I was trying to use wisdom to save my gas for the last day of the fast, because you know, the last day you want to get that anointing, you want to get that closer right. So I'm like, I'm like God, I'll go the last day, but to the second day, unfortunately, I have to miss it and just join it online. So and then I'm like, yeah, I'm going to join online and I'm going to pray. And then another voice told me you're going to do what? And I say I am going to join this fast online and I'm going to pray. And another voice say, no, you're going to sleep. And I'm like, no, I'm actually going to pray. So I joined the second day bold fast. You know we're praying against the spirit of fear. Pastor David is leading us through um, declare fear, fear, fear. And then you know, I literally this fast, I literally pray, like literally, when I said I'm staying home. I'm going to pray. I literally did pray. No sleep, no, nothing.
Speaker 1:I was into it, you know, online, because sometimes it can be hard challenging um being online, um joining online ceremony because you know you can, just nobody's watching me right. But it was so serious. In my basement I was, I was praying, praying, praying. I hate midnight and after when midnight is done, the prayer was done, okay. So I I closed my everything, I closed my computer, went upstairs Immediately. I'm trying to sleep upstairs, but I couldn't sleep and I'm like God, why I can't sleep. Okay, so when I sleep, y'all, I sleep with the hour of meditation background because it just shut down everything on my day.
Speaker 1:If hour of meditation sounds like a little bit and you're like hour of meditation, what's that? Okay. So let me put you guys in hour of meditation. What is hour of meditation? Okay, so we have hour of meditation with Dr Emmanuel Adeusi. That it happened every Saturday at Cornerstone Christian Church at 9 am. So it's basically, we are sitting on scripture, we are meditating on scripture. We are meditating on scripture. We're not doing meditation, we're literally meditating on scripture. Okay, so that's with Dr Emmanuel Adeusi every Saturday at 9 am. And if you want to join, like you can just go on his YouTube page, click on his YouTube page and and and join it.
Speaker 1:Um, it is a great way if you're dealing with depression. You know confusion, man, just meditate on the word of God. We're the lead of the apostle, of the meditation, apostle Emmanuel. It's going to change your life. So, literally, that's how I sleep every day, with my hour of meditation background playing, you know.
Speaker 1:But that night I couldn't sleep and I was like God, it's one 45. The next day I need to go to work because, literally, I was like I literally my alarm is going to ring, ring again by four o'clock. I need to go to work, where I cannot sleep. So when I was like okay, cause I know, when I don't, I, when I can't sleep, I know something is up. So I went, went, I sit on the corner of my bed and I just sit down quietly while the hour of meditation is playing on, and I said speak, lord, your servant, she's listening. Okay, from there God gave me a vision. A vision it was an open vision, not sleeping, just sitting on my bed. Open vision.
Speaker 1:A woman approached me, come to me and asked me what is your name? And I said my name, she's like yeah, what's your name? And I say my name my name is Miriam. And she goes okay, miriam, are you a boy? I was like me a boy, no, I'm a girl. Okay, so this woman want to. I'm like I'm a girl. And then she goes oh, okay, so this woman want to walk away. And then I just just ran after her. I say excuse me, excuse me, my name, my name is not Miriam, my name is Grace. And she goes Grace, are you stupid? And I was like stupid, no, I ain't stupid. And then so the woman wow, I got so angry. I was like no, no, no, I'm not stupid, my name is Grace. And then the vision just stopped and I was like okay, god is speaking.
Speaker 1:I went back again in my basement, you know, back again to my basement. I was like okay, god, what is this Like? What's going on here? So then God took me to a journey of back of 29, back on 2019, when my name has officially changed. But I did not accept it and I was like and I was like yeah, the reason I didn't accept it. You know, I give God all this, all these excuses. I was just sitting down there and I was like God. I didn't accept it because I was. I was scared. And God said yeah, I know you're scared.
Speaker 1:So God took me back again to a journey of when I literally giving my life to Christ. You know, when I was Muslim and how I faced rejection from my father. You know my father like, because he did not accept that at all, you know. So God took me back. He's like you're dealing with rejection, you're dealing with fear, you're dealing with death. And then he took me back again to my 2019 journey, where I'm trying to suicide myself, you know myself. You know so. So God's begin just to work on delivering me from fear, delivering me from suicide again, delivering me from from rejection, um and just to, and just letting and telling me, like, how I'm accepted and how he loves me and everything.
Speaker 1:And I was just like. I was just so in tears and, and, and the prayer continued till like six in the morning. So I was just like. I was just so in tears and, and, and the prayer continued till like six in the morning. So I was just like, just in tears. So I just sit there and six in the morning and I'm like God. I really have to go to work. But you know, we can still go on. We can still go on with this conversation.
Speaker 1:Six in the morning, I'm sitting there. I'm like, okay, I need to call my father. Um, I'm like, okay, I need to call my father. I start with my spiritual father first. I was like, let me call my, let me call my, let me call Apostle. I need to tell him this, this vision that I just have, whoa call Apostle. And then Apostle goes yeah, grace, yeah. And I was like so you knew, yeah, grace. And I'm like, oh, my goodness. So then I told my apostle I'm like, apostle, I'm scared, I'm really scared. How I'm going to tell my dad, how I'm going to tell my dad this, because I feel like I was like me and my dad, we're in a great place.
Speaker 1:It took us a long time for him to accept from me being Muslim into a Christian. I was like he accepted. And now this how am I gonna tell my dad? My dad was my biggest fear. And then apostle just advised he's like just pray, pray again. So that was, uh, that was on Monday. Yeah, that was the following week. I'm having conversation with that pastor.

Speaker 1:Welcome to the Word Became Flash podcast with your host, grace Kapongo. The Kapongo's soon to be changed. We're coming Now. I really do want to answer people's questions. Oh, my goodness, does God really do change names of the people? Yes, he, he, literally, he literally does. Okay, so let's let's go through some names here that I did my research into about, because this is the word became flashback. Yes, do God really change people's name? Yes, he does.
Speaker 1:Okay, so scripture Abraham, our father of faith. Abraham, god changed his name to Abraham to Abraham. This found in Genesis 17, verse 5. Okay, abraham's wife God changed her name Sarah to Sarah. So this one is found in Genesis 17,. 15. Jacob he changed Jacob's name to Israel. This scripture is found in Genesis 32 to 28.
Speaker 1:Simon, my favorite guy. He changed Simon to Peter. This one John 1, 4, 2, or you can read scripture Matthew 16, matthew 16, 18. Now, hosea, which was Joshua, but his spiritual father is the one who changed his name and this was Moses. Okay, so this found in number 13, verse 16. So you can read, you can read this wonderful scripture.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, we cannot forget our Queen Adasa, who went to Queen Esther. Okay, yeah, queen Adasa went to Queen Esther. Where is that scripture on On your notes, up everywhere in the place? Okay, I actually have that scripture for you guys esther to adasa, esther to Adassa. Sorry, you can read this on Esther 2, verse 7, to get to know more of the story of people that God do change names, because, yes, god do change names. And it's not to disrespect your parents, it is not that, oh, I want to disrespect my parents. No, I'm so happy that I had mentors and I had parents, that they were on board, that God was on board with them, and to had parents that you know they were on board, god was on board with them. And to my parents, the season of they raised me as Miriam. Miriam season has ended and now Miriam is entering to a journey of the season of grace. So, to God, be the glory for all those and people.
Speaker 1:Some people actually like you. You're like what happened to Kiana. I did like the name Kiana. Okay, that name Kiana, y'all came out of rebellions. Okay, if you know the story of Kiana, kiana came out of rebellions. Kiana basically came out because, um, back then I was not allowed to have social media, social media. And then my friend was like yo, okay, let's give you a fake name so you can have the social media, so your parents will not find you. And then, yeah, so that's where Kiana was formed.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, moneymaker, I'll still keep the name Moneymaker because, yeah, I am going to be making money. I couldn't tell you the whole revelation that God gave me, but money, money will go everywhere that I go, I make money. So, whoever gave me moneymaker, I do love you, so you can keep calling me moneymaker. But for the rest of you guys, please, I will be gladly if we go in the same track as the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit lead us, and that's the track. That is the name Grace. Okay, daughter of Grace, daughter of the Most High God. Hey, god's masterpiece. Anyways, let's wrap up.
Speaker 1:I already told you guys, we're season three, we're starting very, very hot and it's coming in very hot, but, anyways, I cannot leave this couch without giving somebody an opportunity to know who is Jesus, right To understand the meaning of Jesus. I mean, I know you might be confused. Out there there's so many people call themselves Jesus, but at the end of the day there's only one Jesus. He's the only way, the truth and the life, and that's Jesus who came to die for you on John 3.16. For God so loved the word that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believe in him shall not perish but will have eternal life. That's the Jesus that I want to introduce you. The Jesus of God the Father, the Jesus of God the Son, and the Jesus of God the Holy Spirit. Okay, all three in one and he's still Jesus. That's the Jesus.
Speaker 1:So if in your life you really don't know who is God, or or you're once like me, you were lost and bad. Now your light has been. It's going to be shining on you, baby, because you are coming out of that tomb, lazarus, you are arising, you are shining, okay. So if you were in those dark season, because being being in the cage, like what God was really showing me, is like someone, so sometime, most of people you're in a cage because somebody put you in that cage. It is not where you are meant to be, okay. So somebody put you know when people calling you name names are very um, um, it's very, it's very prophecy. You know, when somebody put a label, they put a label sticker on you.
Speaker 1:You know, sometimes you might look at yourself and you're like, oh my, am I a boy, child of God? If you're a child of God, if you're a woman of God, you're a boy, you're a girl. Either you're one, you're a boy, you're a girl. God did not make a mistake. He did not make a mistake creating you. So if you're in that dark cage and then you're like, oh man, jesus is fake. Jesus is not fake, jesus is real. The only thing that keep us away from seeing Jesus as being fake, it is the people. It might be the people that we encounter or the wrong way.
Speaker 1:How you heard the gospel? Because I'm telling you that the gospel is still real, because you know the word of God says that the heaven will pass away, the earth will pass away, that the only thing will never pass away. It is my word. My word is the heaven will pass away, the earth will pass away, that the only thing will never pass away. It is my word, my word, is the only thing that is going to remain. So, therefore, everything that you're seeking for, everything that you're fighting for, guess what it was going to pass? It's coming to, it's going to come to the end. But the only thing that's not going to come to the end is when you pick up that word and then you understand who is this Jesus that everybody's bragging about, who is this Jesus that everybody is talking about.
Speaker 1:So I want to tell you, lazarus, if you're hearing me right now, I want you to come out of the tomb, arise, arise and shine, baby, because the Lord, he, has prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies. So come and take your seat and come and take your table and join the winning side, because Jesus is always victorious. Jesus will never, he will never, never, never lose. Am I looking your life in your season right? You might be looking at the season. You're like nah, man, this is the season that I'm losing. No man, you are victorious.
Speaker 1:Therefore that you are meant to fight. Do you know that there is a breath of God inside of you, there's a breath of God that breathe in you? Do you know that there is a heart that beat for you, and that heart that beat for you, it is the heart of Christ that that is inside of you. So if you're, if you're still alive, it's because you still have a purpose. So begin to take your place, begin to take your place in the kingdom of God and begin to build.
Speaker 1:Do you want to listen to me, lazarus? Right now, as I'm speaking, I want you to arise, I want you to take over your destiny. Whoever, if the enemy has stolen your destiny because the enemy, that's what he likes to do he will steal your identity because he knows how great your identity is in Christ. He's been fighting for identity since forever, since forever. You're not the only one that the enemy fight every day.
Speaker 1:Read Jacob, read Job, read Moses, read David, read Saul. Let's see how they arise in Christ. Even he tried Jesus, but he could not. He could not because Jesus defeated him. He's the one that the devil thought that he put him on the tomb, but guess what? In three days, the tomb was empty. So that's the Jesus that I am talking about. That's the Jesus that he can fight your battles, that you can stand and I can stand, and then we can know that we do have authority. So, baby, I am telling you you are his masterpiece, you are an art, so stand up and get up and take your cross and come on, let us go, okay? So I'm going to invite you.
Speaker 1:Let me stop right there, cause I'm telling you season three I'm coming like devil. Whether or not you better listen, because I'm telling you there is a lion, devil. Whether or not you better listen, because I'm telling you there is a lion, a lion that is going to roll. It's rolling and we are taking back the kingdom of God by fire, by force. We are taking back what belongs to us. We are taking back what God said. It is our authority. So, devil, please hear us very loud, hear us very loud. You better be scared, because we are coming for you. We are coming for you, children of God. They are arising, esther's are arising, david are arising. We are taking over authority, we are taking over what's been finished on the cross of the cavalry. We are taking over from you. So you better watch out, devil.
Speaker 1:So you think you tried in April? So you think you think you think you tried in April this year? I invite you, come, try more harder and let's see. Let's see, baby, because my gloves is on, and my gloves is not just on for me, but my gloves is on also for the, for the souls that you are keeping bounding, for the souls that you're keeping in hell. Those are the souls that we're fighting for, the ones that you're telling them no, no, no, no, jesus doesn't exist. Yes, he does exist. Go check, go check history. He exists.
Speaker 1:So, therefore, I just want to invite you guys to just say a prayer with me, a prayer of declaration. It's as I said, it started with the word of prayer. It starts with the word of prayer. Let me tell you this word of prayer it's a seed, okay, it's a seed that you're planted in your heart. It's a seed that you're accepting. You know, the Bible said that Jesus walks everywhere. He is knocking, he is knocking and he's knocking and he's looking for you to let him in. Baby, this is the seed for you to let him in, amen, baby, this is the seed for you to light, amen. But I'm telling you that this seed that you're going to light Jesus in, it's just not going to be a seed, because when you planted a seed, you need to water the seed.
Speaker 1:So, therefore, how do you water the seed, baby, you find yourself, a community. You find yourself a community that believe in God the Father, that believe in God the Son, and that believe in God the Spirit. And that's the community that you find. And then you come, join for your seed to keep and be watering so you can be a tree that you will be planted on the riverside for Christ. Okay, so please come, join me, join me, join me.
Speaker 1:We're sitting on the winter side, we're singing in victorious, we're speaking Jesus and everywhere we go we're speaking Jesus. Death will rise again. Yes, you will hear them. You will hear them arising then, because we are coming up, because our voice are being silenced anymore, we're not staying silenced, we are awakened. Now, this is the time, this is the moment, this is the season, the light of the Lord it is shining upon us and we are taking the kingdom of God by forces, by fire, by force.
Speaker 1:So if this was like yeah, this is me, this is me, let's, let's plant the seed and then let's water the seed together as a community, on the word became flesh, not just as a community, as the word became flesh, baby, work like this is this is part of your water, but I'm telling you also to another seed. It is when you grow, it's when you're under spiritual authority. You know when you're covered. You know when witches and wizards come, come after you. You're like man, I'm chilling.
Speaker 1:You know who is my father? You know, devil doesn't fight with me. If, if he, if he tried me, I said, uh, you have not met my dad. Do you know? Know, dr Emmanuel Apasso Adelzi, that's my father, so don't play with me. So these days, the devil like I really respond to him. I respond to him and I will keep on responding until Jesus take me home. Till Jesus take me home, I'll keep on responding for my king, I'll keep on responding for my father.
Speaker 1:So I just want to invite you to say this prayer with me Plant the seed, plant the seed with me and say this sinner prayer with me. Say dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the son of God and I believe you died for me on the cross of Calvary. I know I am a sinner and today I come to you to forgive me, to forgive me of all my sin and to make me a brand new creation. Lord, I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you, lord, for forgiving me and make me a born again. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray Amen.
Speaker 1:Congratulations, baby, you have planted your seed. You have planted your seed, but don't let your seed die. Don't be that farmer. You plant a seed and then you just let it. No, let it be water, let it be water. And how can you make that seed be water? Simple, I'm telling you join back the community, join back the church. Rise, shine, go, find yourself a church. Go find yourself a church, go find yourself a spiritual authority. Submit yourself to a spiritual authority and let that seed be planted. And now, if you're in that great city of edmonton, the greatest city of champion because edmonton, champions are rising left and right if you haven't it, that's because you're still sleeping with the devil. So you better, you better awake and then see what is the city of Edmonton is built. For there is a reason that they call this city the city of champion because the city of champion we are building here.
Speaker 1:Now, if you're in Edmonton, you're like yo, I don't have a home church, I don't. I don't know where my seed can be planted, I don't know where my seed can be rooted. I got you, I got you.
