I have been listening to Pastor Joseph Prince daily since the pandemic. In early 2022, when he shared on the year of rest and acceleration, we believed it and claimed the Lord’s abundant blessings.

After the winter break, I developed a sharp pain on my back because of standing too long while cooking. I could not even bend down to pick up things from the floor. As I was listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons from the app, I heard him call forth a prayer to receive healing for the body. I immediately claimed the healing for my back and most of the pain was gone. In the next 2 days, I continued to claim my healing, and soon after, I even forgot I ever had the pain. The healing was really accelerated.

As I had read many praise reports about salary raises on Joseph Prince’s website, I asked Jesus if I should ask my supervisor for a promotion. Before I asked, I remembered the Bible verse that God will supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19). I believed Jesus had a way, so I wrote an email to my boss to ask if I could be promoted. I did not receive a reply.

Later that night, I listened to a sermon in which Pastor Prince said our true identity is Jesus Christ. I told myself that it is Jesus doing all the work, and I just need to rest in Him. I wrote another email to my boss stating that I did not mind having a 2-level promotion.

The next day, I read the Bible for guidance. I came across Isaiah 55:11—“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” After reading the verse, I knew Jesus was working on my request. As I continued reading chapters 53 to 63, Isaiah 58:13–14 spoke to me. Jesus told me to rest and delight in Him, and He would cause me to ride on the high hills of the earth. For me, this was rest and acceleration.

That very day, my boss sent me an email to say I was being promoted. My title would go from trainee to senior. This reminded me of Isaiah 61:7 that says, “Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

I was really touched and moved by Jesus’ unmerited and undeserved favor toward me. In addition, the piano teacher who teaches my son was surprised that my son could learn to play the piano so quickly. All the other progress reports for my kids were also outstanding.

It is really Amos 9:13 happening—“The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.” Blessings are everywhere. I give all the glory to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!
