Empowered by Miracles: My Transformative Experience with Kute Blackson

Last updated on June 24th, 2024 at 02:47 pm

Sometimes, one way to make your dreams come true is to get fierce inspiration from someone who is all about helping people live their highest and best lives.

The event was called All Lights On, and it was the first time that Kute, who is based in LA and speaks internationally, had planned an event in New York City. So it was a packed house, full of people who have been watching his videos and on his mailing lists for years.

I was thrilled to be there, and the rest of the crowd seemed super excited to meet Kute finally. The room was buzzing—the energy was palpable. I sat next to two lovely women, one of whom is also a life coach. We had been following Kute for years and felt we could use an extra dose of love, light, and inspiration.

And he delivered! He was on fire!

Miracles and A Commitment to Love

Kute is the son of a man from Ghana called the “Miracle Man” – a preacher who healed thousands spontaneously and traveled the world to share a message of love. His mother was from Japan, and his parents’ meeting was a miracle.

After his father’s first wife died, he married again. But he handed it entirely to God and asked to be directed to the right woman to marry.

At the same time, his mother was living in Japan and was 28 years old, which meant that people had declared her a spinster in that culture. She asked God if she was meant to marry and decided she would if she got a clear sign from God. Kute’s father had traveled to Japan only because he got a “sign.” One day, a book fell off a shelf in a bookstore, and on the back was a photograph of a man who was a Japanese guru, whom Kute’s father had been dreaming about for years. He wrote to the guru, who invited him to visit.

He made a leap of faith and went. As he was being introduced at a talk in Japan, his future wife saw him and heard a voice in her head say: “This is your husband.” She decided to write him a letter. She didn’t tell him she thought they would marry someday but just introduced herself and welcomed him to the country. He had a flash of intuition the day before that “your wife is on the way,” when he opened the letter, he was sure it was her. He wrote back and asked her if she’d be open to moving to Ghana. She wrote back and said yes.

When they next met for the first time, they had already agreed to be husband and wife, although it was unseen. In one final miracle moment, Kute’s father wanted to be sure that this was, in fact, his bride. So he had a custom Ghanian dress for his bride before he ever met or saw her. He’d asked God to give him a vision of her, and once he had a picture of her in his head, he designed the dress.

When he met her for the first time, he asked her to try it on, and it fit her like a glove. He was now sure!

The Miracle Wedding 

Kute’s father didn’t have the money to throw a proper wedding for his bride, so he prayed and asked God what to do. The answer he got this time, Kute said, was, “Just chill.” So he released worrying about it. Six weeks later, he opened his mailbox and found an envelope filled with $7,000 in cash, a lot of money in the 1970s.

A couple had read about their synchronistic meeting and upcoming wedding and decided they wanted to fund it. Sometimes, when something is meant to be, the miracles arrive on time!

Kute’s Amazing Journey 

Born from this miracle marriage, Kute watched his father enact miracle cures, healing people spontaneously in church and on the streets. By the time he was eight years old, he was preaching to crowds and was next in line to take over his father’s church. But something told Kute that this was not his path. He had a message of love and miracles to share with the world, but he wanted to share it in his own way.

He knew his father would be deeply disappointed, and he did not speak to him for three years after Kute left the church. But Kute knew that his soul’s path was to go out there and spread the message of love in his own way.

He moved to LA and became a public speaker, hosting workshops and events in California, traveling, and taking his work on the road. He created incredible transformational programs, including a retreat called Bali Boundless Bliss and a unique trip where he takes people to India and takes all of their possessions except one set of clothes. Hence, they depend on him to lead and guide them on a powerful “Liberation” journey of discovering who they are beyond societal identity labels.

He lives to inspire people to step into their greatest power and take the risks necessary to create a life their soul loves. Kute teaches that we transform the world by transforming ourselves and shining our own light. And this is what he was there to help us do. He treated the evening as a call to action, asking if we could step into our greatness.

“I’m ready!” we yelled back. The crowd was enthusiastic; everyone stood, danced, cheered, and embraced the experience.

We knew we were ready to shine our lights more brightly and step into our power to live our best possible lives. I left knowing I was put here on this earth to inspire others and create work on a bigger scale–helping women heal and step into their greatness.
