Grace And Mercy Visited Our Home
In December 2008, I was watching television early one morning after studying the Bible. My whole family was still sleeping. I saw this strange preacher on TV and switched off the TV. Then, a thought came into my mind: "Don't you judge—LISTEN."
I sat down and heard this stranger say, "Two thousand years ago, all the wrath of God against you was exhausted in the body of Jesus Christ on the cross." It completely bowled me over. Up to then, my life was focused on repentance, repentance, repentance. I could never get rid of all the sin and guilt. I thought my life was one big failure as a believer because I couldn't even keep the first commandment!
I didn't know it yet, but Father had heard my cry for the truth, and the revelation came through watching your broadcast program on Trinity Broadcasting Network.
I watched your broadcast every Saturday and shared what I learned with my Christian friends. They were not receptive. I could not understand, but kept listening and praying that Father would keep me in the truth. My children, however, love your preaching. My husband, who refused to read the Bible, started listening to you on a Saturday—the first preacher that he enjoyed and received! Soon, he started asking to hear your sermons whenever we drove to the farm. Grace and mercy visited our home! For 10 years, I fasted and tried my best! And now, this fresh revelation of GRACE came into our home and changed everything I could not change!
Early in 2010, the thought that God loves ME hit me like a ton of bricks! I had listened to the teachings about His love, but it never became TRUTH in my heart. I cried and laughed, and knew that I knew. Sometimes, I wonder if you know how life changing your ministry truly is! The preacher of righteousness has come and all things have started falling into place.
I gave some of your DVDs to an old lady (83 years old). She watched them and ran with the wonderful truth about God's grace! She showed them to the youth in her church and they loved it. Her minister watched them and proclaimed the message of grace as truth.
For more than a year I listened to you. The more I listened, the more I knew this was from God. And then friends started asking for your teachings. One lady who refused to listen has now not only received the message, but comes back for more!
So keep preaching the good news! We here in South Africa have experienced change!
