I was saved when I was nine years old. My parents helped found the church I grew up in. However, my experience of church was more about living “a good Christian life” rather than receiving the grace of Christ.

I knew there was something very wrong with the message I was hearing. I felt like a hypocrite trying to deal unsuccessfully with my feelings of guilt and shame. As a result, I spent my teen and much of my adult years away from God.

I had heard about God’s grace in my twenties, but it never took root in my heart. When I got married and had children, I decided to let them make their own decisions about their faith when they were old enough. I never pushed my faith on them.

Four years ago, I began reading a book about the grace of God and soon afterwards began to attend church once again. I met someone in a life group who introduced me to Joseph Prince Ministries.

I began watching Pastor Prince’s messages whenever I could. Slowly, the message of grace in Christ began its healing in my heart. The more I listened, the more my wrong beliefs were replaced with the gospel. For six months, I would tear up uncontrollably every time I heard of the grace and truth that Jesus died to give us.

Even though I was saved as a child, I never felt truly born again until I knew His grace. Before I knew His grace, I would rarely ever share my beliefs with anyone because I felt like a hypocrite. Now I share the grace of Christ with anyone who is willing to listen. One Sunday, I even shared a testimony with my church.

For twenty-six years, I suffered from having painful warts on the soles of my feet. I tried everything medical, including painful laser surgery to try to get rid of them. But nothing helped. I resigned myself to the fact that they were going to bother me until I received my new body.

When I was invited to a barbeque a while ago and was asked to bring food and drink, I made bread and took it along with some wine. At the end of the barbeque, I asked if we could partake of the Holy Communion together. As I’d watched Pastor Prince’s messages on the healing power of the Holy Communion and read his book on the Holy Communion, I shared my newfound beliefs about the significance of discerning the Lord’s body and the elements of the Communion with the rest of the group. After taking the Communion together, we prayed and sang hymns about our Lord’s sacrifice and His love.

In my prayer, I actually cursed aloud the warts on my feet that had also spread to my hands. Weeks later, God’s voice prompted me to look at my hands. The warts were gone! I had been doing some gardening and wearing gloves and I hadn’t even noticed that the warts were gone. In the weeks that followed, my feet were healed and are now completely free from warts.

All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! I am completely humbled and awed by the grace of my Lord! Keep preaching righteousness in Christ by faith, Pastor Prince. I praise God for your life and for revealing to me His grace!
