Praise Report

Freed From Depression And Condemnation

Last year, I was given your book, Destined To Reign, and it was something I really needed to read.

In the chapter titled, Is God Judging America?, you wrote about a couple who had lost their baby due to some complications and how a so-called prophet had erroneously told them that it was due to sin in their lives. When I read that, I cried.

I had a miscarriage in 2011 when I was five months pregnant and was also told then that God was punishing my husband and me for our sins. As a result, I would often cry and beg the Lord to forgive my sins.

God, who knows ALL things, used you long before I went through that miscarriage to pen those words in your book, just to minister to me. I read that book over and over again because everything in it answers the many questions I had on my mind for years.

I was raised in a Christian home, but we didn’t have a deep understanding of the Bible. Yet, my parents always taught me that God is the answer to everything in our lives. So I’ve always believed that God loves me and I can talk to Him freely. On the other hand, my husband was raised in a Christian home where he’d always heard of God as a strict judge waiting for an opportunity to punish us.

So after our marriage, I was introduced to a God who was to be addressed with fear and trembling. His family would quote me scriptures from the Bible to prove their point and that caused me to be totally confused. Some days, I would feel as though I am forgiven and live like a child of the King, but other days, my life would be full of guilt and condemnation! Over time, I became drawn to their teachings and became so full of fear to approach God. As a result, I went through years of depression and condemnation.

But praise be to God, Jesus delivered me from it all! I am so grateful to the Lord for you and your ministry. I can’t explain how much your messages and your book have changed my life. I often tell the Lord, “Lord, how much You love me! You have used Pastor Joseph Prince, who is miles and miles away, to minister to me. Your ways are so much higher and so amazing!”

I have downloaded all your podcast messages on my iPad. And in the past week, my husband also started listening to your messages! Praise God!

May God use you more mightily in unveiling the beauty of our lovely Jesus. Thank you so much!
