End Of Struggles After Knowing True Identity In Christ

I thank God for you and the message of grace that you have been bringing to the world. When I first saw you, I was a bit skeptical because you are unlike the typical preachers I’ve come across. I’d a hard time understanding your Singaporean accent, but as I listened to your message of grace, your accent didn’t matter anymore because of the transformation that was taking place in my life.

My life story sounds a bit like the Samaritan woman who met Jesus at the well. I am a black woman from the ghetto of Brooklyn, New York. I had my first abortion at 16 years old and got married when I was 20. All in all, I’ve had five marriages and five divorces, and the last one ended in 2004. My life had spiraled into an ugly mess for more than 30 years and I believe I broke just about every commandment in the Bible—fornication, adultery, abortions, lying, covetousness and addictions. I also had to file for bankruptcy five times.

Even though I’ve been saved for years and baptized as a little girl, I would get saved and baptized all over again every time I backslided because this was what I had been taught. In fact, I’ve lost count of the number of times I went through that saving and re-saving process.

My views on marriage and religion were also distorted from years of growing up in the church. I was never really taught the love of Jesus and about His finished work. So I struggled with who I was and just about everything else in my life.

But your ministry and your message of grace have opened up my eyes to the real gospel of Christ and revealed to me who I am in Christ Jesus.

I had never known grace until I started listening to your messages. I started out with very little faith when I first heard the message but as I listened, I began to encounter a deeper and more intimate walk with God.

Listening to your messages once is never enough for me as more and more is revealed to me every time I listen to the Word of God. I record your messages every day in case I don’t get to hear the Word in the morning before I go to work and even if I did hear it that morning, I’d listen to it again and this time, with a notepad and a Bible in hand. I’ve also just finished reading your book, Destined To Reign and am about to start reading Unmerited Favor.

Pastor Prince, I know now that all of my past cannot condemn me anymore and every time my past comes up to condemn me, I state that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I’ve learned to look to Jesus, completely trusting and relying on Him alone.

My heart goes out to all those who don’t know the gospel of Christ as you’ve preached. This is why I have a burning desire to share the truth you’ve unveiled to those in my circle of influence and others with a past like mine.

I have three granddaughters and two grandsons. I don’t want my grandchildren to grow up with the same distorted views I’d held. I also don’t want my granddaughters to end up repeating the same destructive life I’d lived. In addition, I want to help those women who had a past like me, who were misdirected to look for intimacy in the wrong place, to look unto Jesus.

I don’t know how far this desire will take me, but I am open to whatever God wants to do with my life. Meanwhile, I am grateful to be part of your ministry as a partner and you, your family and your ministry will continuously be in my prayers.
