Grace Teachings Challenged Old Mindsets

I cannot tell you how much your anointed preaching has changed my life. I am a young man 21 years of age with an Ethiopian background living in Melbourne, Australia. My parents are believers and I pretty much grew up in the church.

My parent’s faith, like most Christians in the world, was one of grace mixed with the law. As such, I have always been taught to keep the Ten Commandments and to never do anything that might cause God to be angry with me. I grew up with the fear of letting God down or making Him angry whenever I do something wrong. As a kid, I did fine. In fact, I used to boast how I thought I was such a good Christian because I kept out of trouble, but it was mainly because my parents were very strict with me.

After I hit 18, I was sick of living by people’s rules and decided to indulge in whatever I thought I was missing out on in all those years growing up. I fell into drinking, wild partying and sexual immorality. I knew that God loved me and that I loved Him, but after all my failures, I wasn’t sure anymore. Guilt and condemnation became my closest friends. There was a time in my life that I wanted to commit suicide because I couldn’t believe how much I had let God down.

One day, my dad gave me your book, Destined To Reign. Your book challenged me in a lot of ways about what I thought I knew or what I have been taught about the Christian faith. It also encouraged me, gave me hope and helped me to realize that I no longer have to do anything to please the Lord. I just have to receive His underserved, unmerited and unearned favor. Your book has opened my eyes to see Jesus in a brand new way.

Even though all my destructive habits and issues didn’t stop all of a sudden, I would still confess that I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I have your second book, Unmerited Favor, 100 Days Of Favor and many of your teachings and podcasts that come weekly. I just keep feeding on the Word of God.

My personal aim is to get every preaching you have ever preached and I recently ordered the Grace Capsule.
