Experiencing God’s Grace, Family Sharing Gospel With Youths
Shalom, dearest Pastor Prince! Thank you for your obedience in our Lord Jesus Christ! I am so grateful that Jesus led me to your ministry.
I am a blessed wife and mother of one son. From a very young age, I’ve had the sense of a very loving Savior and could not understand why what I heard in church was contrary to my perception.
When I was 12, I remember asking Jesus why what was said about Him in church was different from what was in the Bible and what He had put in my heart. At that moment, the Holy Spirit moved on me and out of my mouth came what I realized later was a whole sermon on how Jesus is love and that we have a Father who loves us completely, without any condemnation. I was so filled with the Holy Spirit at that moment and for the first time in my young life, I felt like I belonged to someone.
I came from a large family but unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, felt orphaned for most of my life. Perhaps because of wanting to fit in so badly, I often found myself speaking out what I heard from others and not what Jesus showed me that day. However, what I really wanted was for people to know the joy that Jesus had given me that day when I was 12.
Over the next few years, my life became filled with more rejections and bad decisions but Jesus never left me alone. Just a few years ago, when I lost my job of 16 years, I told the Lord that I wanted some time with Him and He gave me almost two years. Praise the Lord! He also gave my husband, who is a chronic worrier, such a peace with my decision.
Jesus has led me to pray Ephesians 1:16–23 for my family. I’ll tell you that He gives way more than you could hope or think when you ask! The transformation I see in my son is a miracle. He had received Jesus as his Savior when he was quite young and just after I started praying Ephesians 1:16–23 over my family, my son received the revelation of grace one day and his whole life changed. My son got a promotion that nearly doubled his income. As a result, he was able to purchase a new home and a new car in less than a year from his new experience with Jesus.
Pastor Prince, prior to all these things happening, the Holy Spirit had led me to your television program and everything I heard caused my spirit to leap with faith. It felt like you had heard my conversations with Jesus, and I remember saying more “Amens” and “yeses” than I’ve ever had before listening to you preach. I just kept thanking Jesus and my hope was renewed in a way that I cannot express.
I told my son about you and that was when he began to listen to your messages. We began to buy your CDs and books. The more we listened, the more revelation we received in the knowledge of Jesus and the eyes of our understanding were enlightened.
Being led by the Holy Spirit, we also began meeting in my son’s home once a week to worship, pray and listen to your messages. We asked God if He wanted others to come and since then, our meeting has grown from two to 10 regulars, all young people so far. We are believing God for more!
I am so honored to see these young people so hungry for the truth and receiving God’s grace so openly. By the way, we have found a wonderful church and are believing God for even greater things!
