Enjoying A Blossoming Relationship With Jesus
I have been a Christian since I was five years old. I was raised and taught that love was the main focus of Christianity, but I was never able to fully understand the grace and favor of our Lord Jesus. I personally believed that I had to be the world’s best leader, have first-rate behavior, have a pure heart, be a living sacrifice, and cry out to God until I was blue in the face and had no voice left, in order to receive from God and accomplish His will on earth. I continued to believe all this until I was 19 years old.
Like any other Christian, I experienced some hurtful things in my life. Those experiences finally brought me to the point where deep down, I hated church and questioned whether I wanted to follow God in the same way that I had been doing all my life.
In August 2010, I took my best friend’s mom out for lunch and we had a discussion that changed my life forever. She told me about Joseph Prince and told me to go and listen to a message that was on the main page of his website then. Shortly after that, I watched the message and I was amazed.
God made His way into the condemnation and confusion in my heart and began to awaken me to His grace and favor. I began to hunger for and listen to more and more of your messages, and the grace and the favor of God started exploding in my life. I got so excited about grace that I started sharing it with my family and friends and listened to your messages every day. Although not everyone understood it at first, I continued to be a living testimony of the grace and favor of God.
I also prayed for two sick children (one who was rushed to the hospital because she stopped breathing and one who suffered a skull fracture when a metal board fell on his head) and saw them recover rapidly. The baby girl was well within 15 minutes and the young boy within a few short weeks. Praise GOD!
Since August 2010, my life and relationship with our sweet Jesus has blossomed and grown more than it ever did under the years of believing a mixture of law and grace. I have seen more miracles, experienced more personal satisfaction and love, and been happier than I’ve ever had in my life. I have also been used to minister deep healing to others. By the grace of God, I have been redeemed from spiritual barrenness and delivered from self-righteousness.
By listening to your messages, I now know that I am the righteousness of God through the blood of Christ Jesus and I am highly favored, greatly blessed and deeply loved!
God bless you, Pastor Prince, for preaching the pure, unadulterated gospel of Christ. It saved my life and continues to give me hope and encouragement. What a gospel we have!
