Praise Report

Freed From Condemnation, Enjoying Favor And Restoration

I was raised in a Christian family as a young boy. Although I was a Christian, I was always surrounded by fear. Whenever I did something bad, someone would tell me, “Don’t do it or you will enter hell.” This frightened me back then and resulted in my preoccupation with sinful thoughts, even at the age of 8

After the death of my father when I was attending secondary school, I started swearing and watching pornography due to peer pressure. I was filled with anger and disappointment at myself  and I fought with my brother constantly at home. I used to ask God, “Why am I like this?” I felt unloved and felt like taking my own life.

Somehow, during the school holidays before I entered secondary 4, I suddenly had an urge to draw closer to the Lord. I began looking up online videos about hell and heaven, and what I could do to enter heaven. I tried to understand the meaning of verses in the Bible to get myself right with God, but it got me nowhere. Whenever I tried to worship God, bad and lustful thoughts would start to enter my mind, and I would start to think that God would not save me from hell. I always felt depressed and condemned, and my eyes were always on the law. I thought if I did not perform well, God would not help or bless me. I almost lost my mind.

One day, I saw my brother watching Pastor Prince’s sermon titled, "Wisdom For Everyday Living". I was interested, so I started watching it, and I watched it again and again. After a few months, I started realizing how much God loves me and what Jesus has done for me.

I now rejoice because I am no longer depressed or sad. My life is filled with joy and I constantly feel loved by the Lord and the people around me. I can clearly see His blessings in my life. He gives me wisdom in school and He protects my mind from evil thoughts and my body from harm. He also answers my prayers, gives me favor with people, and provides what I need and even what I want. In addition, the Lord has restored my family—after my father passed away, we were almost broke, but now we are prospering.

He has done so many other things for me! These blessings all started when I started listening to Pastor Prince’s anointed sermons. They have made me know and love the real God. I am so thankful for Pastor Prince’s anointed teachings and daily devotionals.

All glory and honor to the Lord Jesus!
