Joseph Prince Ministries :: About :: Praise Reports
|
Since I was a child, I had suffered from curvature of the spine, a condition known as scoliosis. My spine was S-shaped and sticking out, causing my back to look uneven. I paid close attention to the scriptures on healing, prayed and knew God was willing to heal me as I am forgiven. I figured I just had to wait.
On April 30, I watched the Destined To Reign program and Pastor Joseph Prince preached the sermon, Increase Your Capacity To Receive Healing.
When I heard Pastor Prince’s message that God is healing all the time, my faith increased. Pastor Prince said that doubt was what was blocking the healing. So when he prayed for us, I stood up believing and receiving the healing.
Praise God, my spine is healed! It is now straight and does not stick out anymore! Hallelujah!

For some time, I’d stopped paying my tithes, hoping to pay off the entire amount of a debt all at once. However, I encountered a financial challenge and I felt as though this had occurred because I was not tithing.
Then, I remembered what Pastor Prince had shared—that God’s grace is readily available when you don’t deserve it. So I prayed, “Lord, I am counting on Your grace.”
The next day, I received a financial breakthrough and immediately, I happily deducted more than one tenth for my tithe.
Truly, right believing produces right results. Thanks, Pastor Prince, and God bless you!

I came across Pastor Joseph Prince last year on Daystar channel. At that time, I was in search of rest but I couldn’t understand how to enter into rest. Thanks be to God Almighty that I discovered grace and then truly experienced rest!
My current contract was running out and I believed that God loves me and would open doors no man can shut and close doors no man can open. I also believed that we as His children will not have to fear when heat comes (Jeremiah 17:8).
I received a new contract on the last day of my job and I was even given time to rest with my family before I begin the job.
I am so glad and grateful to God for bringing me into contact with Pastor Prince’s teachings and I am looking forward to meeting him at the conference in the United States later in the year.

I’d lived a life of begging God, always asking for forgiveness almost every moment of the day. Even when asleep, I would struggle with feelings of depression and would jump up from my bed after trying to call out the name of Jesus.
I never knew that I have been made forever righteous before God until I read your book, Unmerited Favor. Since then, my perspective toward God has changed. Now, I know that I’m His beloved child and that He is for me. As a result, I can sleep well with no more feelings of depression. The revelation and confession of righteousness really helped to transform my life. Today, I’m walking in God’s power, favor and miracles. Hallelujah!
The gospel of grace has made hearing God so easy. I want to preach this gospel to all nations because a lot of believers have been misled by wrong teachings. Thank you, Pastor Prince. Praise God and all glory to Jesus.

For many years, I had a cyst in the right part of my lower back. Last year, it became very painful. The pain was particularly excruciating when I had to turn in bed. I prayed and took the Holy Communion daily, believing God for healing.
On April 29, Pastor Joseph Prince preached the sermon titled, Increase Your Capacity To Receive Healing. At the end of the sermon, he prayed for the congregation to increase their capacity to receive divine healing and pointed out that there was someone the Lord had just healed in the lower right side of his or her back. It was exactly where I’d been experiencing the pain and immediately, the pain was gone!
I thanked the Lord for my healing and the pain has not returned. The Lord let me know in my heart that “it was done.” I am totally healed and I am thanking God every day.
Thank you, Pastor Prince, for continuing to preach Jesus and all that He has already accomplished for us. Praise the Lord!

My husband and I were trying to conceive for more than two years. We went to a fertility clinic for all kinds of tests. Finally, I was told that I had ovarian cysts.
We were informed of the various options available to us, the most highly advised option being to have the cysts pierced. I was also presented with the option of taking hormone pills, but was warned that the chances of conceiving through this method were very low.
I went with the hormone pills and took them for five consecutive days before returning to the hospital for a checkup. To my surprise, I was told that my body had responded very well to the hormone pills. I had a blood test taken to see if I was pregnant, and had to wait a few hours for the results.
As I waited, I became afraid that the news would be disappointing again. So I started praying and singing to God. Just then, the daily grace inspiration from Joseph Prince arrived in my email inbox. It was about calling the things that are not as though they are and how God had changed Abram’s name to Abraham to make him a father of many nations even though he was old and childless.
So I started proclaiming my pregnancy and I said to the devil, “Your game is over because God has already blessed me. Get behind me!” And within five minutes, I received a call from the hospital and I was told that I was pregnant! Hallelujah!

I did consistently well academically right up to my second year in college. However, after being elected as a chairman in our local community, I lost focus as I was always worried about how I was performing in that role. As a result, I lost my scholarship.
After graduating from college, I started my own business and I just kept pushing myself to perform well but the results were dismal.
During that time, my family was also falling apart and I really hated my dad for falling for another woman. I was also enslaved by a very bad habit, which I’d struggled to break for 14 years but to no avail.
When I turned 33, I went to Manila because I felt led by God to do so. Despite my age and lack of resources, God provided me with a job. He also led me to a church and to listen to Pastor Joseph Prince’s teachings.
I then began confessing, “I am the righteousness of God and I am the beloved of God,” to myself, my friends and even to my pets. Over time, I discovered that I was not worried about money, success or even myself anymore. Most surprisingly, I found that the habit that enslaved me for 14 years lost its hold on me.
After struggling for so many years, I am finally free from my anxieties and the bad habit—without any conscious effort on my part! Thanks to Pastor Prince’s teaching, I am set free. Jesus is my Lord and I am His beloved!

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in management and I’d owed the university $3,000 in fees, which I could not pay.
I have recently been watching your sermons on television and on my birthday, my wife bought me a CD pack of your teachings on the topic of God’s favor. Immediately, I began confessing God’s favor in my life. I went to work and even typed in a document, “God's favor surrounds me like a shield.”
The next day, I received an email from my university about my outstanding fees. The email said that an error was made and that I only owed $479 to finish my degree! The instant I read the email, I began praising Jesus for His grace. What a blessing!
I believe that this is just the first of many blessings to come, thanks to God’s grace. He has blessed Pastor Prince with the message of grace and I am so glad I heard it. Praise God and thank you!

For more than two years, I had a persistent rash on my back as well as my groin area that wouldn’t go away.
I remember listening to one of Pastor Prince’s earlier sermons in which he narrated the account where the disciples had asked Jesus what they needed to do to have faith. And Jesus’ reply was, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you” (Luke 17:6).
Pastor Prince also shared his testimony about how a rash he used to have on his back had disappeared after he partook of the Holy Communion, and continually commanded the rash to be pulled out by the roots and planted in the sea.
So I stood upon the Word of Jesus and spoke to the rashes on my body. I continually commanded the rashes to be plucked out by the roots and also partook of the Holy Communion in church. I continued speaking in and thanked the Lord for His deliverance.
And glory be to our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, by day 14, the rashes had disappeared. Now, I am fully healed with no trace of this condition.

I want to thank you for opening my heart to receive the peace and love of God through Jesus.
For a long time, I lived under severe condemnation for things I had done prior to giving my life to Jesus on October 2, 2006. If not for my two beautiful daughters who kept me going, I would have already taken my own life.
I knew in my heart that God promised peace and so I begged Him to help me to receive His peace. I also asked Him to erase any hint of my past if possible as I just could not live with myself.
Soon after this, we moved to Grotto Bay on the West Coast of South Africa, where I was introduced to your teachings and they were a real life saver for me. Now, I have peace and love, and I no longer have any desire to take my own life.
I thank God for directing me to your messages! I have been downloading your podcasts and listening to them on my way to work regularly. I wish I could shout to the whole world that we had it all wrong, and explain to them how awesome God’s grace truly is!
May the grace of God always be with you, protect you and keep you!

My husband and I have been watching Joseph Prince every day for two years, and our lives have been wonderfully transformed by hearing only grace teachings and receiving the Holy Communion regularly.
When we were under a teaching of grace mixed with the law, our daughter, Olivia, was constantly ill and spent most of her childhood in the hospital. That teaching taught us that it was God’s plan for Olivia to be sick and He was teaching her perseverance so that she could be a testimony to others who were sick like her.
We were also told that God only heals some, but brings pain and suffering to others. So for years, we accepted the sickness and told Olivia that this was God’s plan for her. We encouraged her by telling her that one day in heaven, God would give her a new body that would be free from disease and pain.
Olivia grew sicker but doctors could never give a diagnosis for her condition. They just heavily medicated her to keep the pain under control and she had to take up to 20 pills a day. The side effects from the medication made her tired, irritable and caused her to develop other medical problems. As a result, she’d missed out on most of her high school years and homeschooling was our only option for her.
My marriage was also falling apart, because the mixed teaching pointed out our flaws and made us sin-conscious. I was busy relying on my obedience and right doing to be righteous before God, and trying by my own efforts to make my husband right with God. This only caused me to feel distant from the Lord and fight even more with my husband.
However, hearing Joseph Prince’s teachings on healing, the Holy Communion, God’s blessings and His abundant supply of grace completely turned things around for our family.
My daughter is now free from sickness and takes NO medication! Praise the Lord! My husband and I have experienced healing in our marriage and are in love with each other all over again. It’s true that when you are Jesus-conscious instead of sin-conscious, it causes you to fall deeply in love with the Lord and each other effortlessly. In fact, my husband is now leading our family of six in teaching God’s grace and the Communion.
We are so blessed by Joseph Prince’s teachings because of the constant reminder that we are righteous in Christ, highly favored and deeply loved. We are looking forward to seeing Joseph Prince in New Jersey or Texas this year—it will be a dream come true for us!

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for transforming my life through your Jesus-centered preaching. I was saved in 2003, but I did not know the love of God and was worn out trying to please God. I also felt condemned and feared losing my salvation. However, all these changed when I started listening to your messages.
It has now been about two years since I started feeding from your ministry through your books, CDs, DVDs, broadcasts and MP3 downloads. Partaking of the Holy Communion has also become part of my daily life.
Two months ago, I had an International Business MBA examination. On the day of the examination, I arrived at the venue 30 minutes earlier but when the examination was about to begin, I discovered that I was at the wrong examination venue!
I quickly left the room and headed to the reception area to find out where the correct venue was. My heart raced as panic and fear started to settle in because the clock was ticking. I would not be allowed to enter the examination room after 30 minutes, which would mean that I would have to repeat the examination next semester and pay an additional fee.
The correct venue was 30 minutes away and on my way there, I remembered that I was God’s beloved and that I have His favor. I was reminded that Jesus had already gone before me to perfect all that had gone wrong and that I was still righteous no matter what happens. So I started resting in Jesus’ finished work at the cross and in His love for me. Praise God, I was allowed to enter the examination room when I arrived. It turned out that I was only seven minutes late because the examination had started 23 minutes later than scheduled!
God had favored me even to the point of causing the examination to start later with no specific reason. As a result, I was able to finish all the questions on time although at that point, I did not think that I would score well. I was expecting a C or D grade because I was still somewhat panicky when I arrived at the examination room, and it took me a while to settle down and remember what I had studied. And since I had started seven minutes later than everyone else, I had to complete all three essays more quickly than I had expected to.
However, contrary to my expectation, God surprised me with a DISTINCTION in that subject. I give all the glory to Jesus and I know that He did the examination for me.
Pastor Prince, I may not be able to see you and thank you personally, but I know that in heaven we will meet and rejoice forever. Thank you so much.

I am 27 years old. I was set free from my addictions to alcohol and nicotine when I became a believer five years ago. But despite the powerful touch of the Lord in my life, I was not joyful and often felt discouraged.
One afternoon, I switched on the television and saw you preaching on your Destined To Reign program. You were preaching on the righteousness of God and the message blew my mind. For the very first time, I heard a message on how my righteous standing before God is based on what Jesus Christ has done on the cross at Calvary.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 30-minute message and my thirst for the Word of God increased after that. It was as if someone had turned on the light in my life. In the following weeks, I watched more of your messages on TV and I even installed a new Internet connection just so I could watch you preach online and download your podcasts and MP3 messages.
Through your messages, I’m assured that all my sins—past, present and future—have been forgiven. As a result, I no longer feel guilty and condemned. I am able to enjoy fellowshipping with Jesus daily, beholding Him in every area of my life and seeing success in my spiritual life. I have also experienced victory over my addiction to pornography. I’m truly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved!
I’ve been introducing your program and messages to my mother and friends, and they’re all enjoying your teaching and sermons. Thank you, Pastor Prince. We love you.

The gospel of the grace of Christ Jesus in my life is nothing short of a miracle.
About a year ago, I went to bed feeling completely lost. I prayed and I remember telling the Lord that I don’t understand what I was being taught—that I had to make myself right with God by being good. I knew I couldn’t change and I couldn’t be good, and I just cried and asked Him to help me.
The next morning, I woke up and turned on the television and your program, Destined To Reign, was on. I wanted to change the channel because I couldn't bear to hear anymore preaching telling me how far from God I was. But something stopped my hand and I started watching your program. Before I knew what was happening, tears were pouring down my face because all I could hear was that God loved me, and that He was not angry or judging me for my sins because Jesus was judged in my place at the cross.
I cannot put into words what happened to my heart that morning but I believed that it was the love of Jesus that started the transformation within me. It was a miracle as I experienced the most loving feeling I have ever had in my entire life. And from that day since, I have been facing each day knowing I belong to Jesus.
Thank You, Lord, for sending your gospel right into my living room and straight into my heart. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for spreading the good news.

My two sons were heavily into drugs for years. I gained faith through listening to Joseph Prince that Jesus would bring them out, and He did over two years ago!
Now, my sons pray and praise Jesus and see their prayers answered. They both have their own businesses and one even orders all of your CDs.
I can’t thank God enough. Jesus loves us!
