Delivered From Depression And Addictions, Enjoying Unspeakable Joy

Depression was a major part of my life for as long as I could remember. I felt like I could never get out of this dark cloud that encompassed my heart and mind all the time. It even affected my memory and I constantly felt worthless.

Needless to say, I couldn’t live my life like that, so I went to numerous psychiatrists and counseling sessions, but nothing worked. By the time I was nineteen, I was a drug addict who also stole, lied, and cheated. There were countless days where I would have welcomed death, because I felt like it was the only option when the pain I was going through was overwhelming.

When I was twenty-two, I went to a rehabilitation center (rehab). By God’s grace, the drugs and alcohol were removed from my life, and with that came some relative happiness. After I returned home, I wanted to get to know God.

I learned in the rehab that God was about principles, good behavior, and helping people. The more I thought of God that way, the more I did not see Him effective in my life anymore. But one day, I heard my mother talk about Pastor Prince, whom she had watched on television a year ago. I will never forget the day I watched his broadcast because I heard him say, “If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus!”

I had never heard anyone say that before, and when my eyes were opened to Jesus, He changed my life! The God that I was seeking to know through my efforts is now so big in my life and I am in love with Him! Now, I have unspeakable joy!

I am now twenty-four and I no longer struggle with drugs, alcohol, criminal behavior, and other vices. The Lord has delivered me from them and I am so thankful that He has done so much for me.

God bless you, Pastor Prince, and your ministry for pointing me to the person of Jesus Christ in all His beauty! I watch your broadcast daily and continue to be blessed by your ministry.

All glory, praise, and honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, forever!
