Freedom from Depression and Anxiety Through God’s Grace
Pastor Prince, I was having a mental breakdown in 2009. I started listening to your sermons on TV daily while lying on the floor in depression after routine nights of insomnia.
For 65 years, I was taught only the old covenant of law in churches of many denominations. They taught that I must keep the 10 Commandments perfectly, or I would die and go to hell. That teaching was defeating me in every area of my life.
My husband and I knew for many years that something about this was not right. I began recording your TV sermons, and my husband started listening with me daily. We heard you teach on Hebrews 8:13—“In that He says, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
Gradually, we began to understand that God wanted to help and bless us. Through your teachings, we began to receive wisdom to discern truth. We also obtained your CDs and listened to them at home and in our cars every day. We have many of your DVDs as well, so we can listen to certain sermons again and again for fresh revelations from God.
The depression and anxiety that once paralyzed me began to disappear more and more each day. Through your teachings, we have matured in God’s Word and now know in our hearts and minds that God loves us unconditionally. Today, we experience overflowing joy and God’s peace that passes all understanding.
I was never an avid reader. However, once we began reading your teachings on the new covenant of grace, our right believing blossomed. My husband enjoys it when I read your books aloud so we can stop and discuss what we are learning. Even now, we always discover something we did not see the last time we read the book. We also confirm your teachings with Scripture.
We knew we had sinned, but we could not break the cycle of guilt, shame, and feelings of unworthiness to receive God’s approval—until we heard and read your teachings on God’s grace. Life was spinning out of control, but through your teachings on grace, our grace-based faith has been solidified.
The overflowing joy and peace that God’s grace has brought us are invaluable and irrevocable. God has definitely called you to help us understand that grace is our new covenant with God. Praise God that we now live knowing He remembers our sins no more because of what Jesus finished at the cross for us.
I have also been called to share your books with many family members, friends, and even new acquaintances. We feel called to share our experiences of your grace teachings and to be prayer warriors for those in our neighborhood, community, county, state, country, and the world.
Thank you, Pastor Prince, for allowing God to work through you to reveal the grace revolution. God bless you as you continue to allow Him to teach more of His Word through you to more people every day.
