Recovering From Major Depression

My elder brother, my father and I were suffering from major depression, but we did not take medication for it because we were fearful of the side effects. However, things got so bad as each one of us had no wish to live anymore that our home was crumbling around us.

One evening on August 2011, while I was watching television, I came across God TV and Pastor Prince’s sermon was being aired. He was talking about the Lord’s grace. The topic seemed simple but what captivated me was his unique style of preaching. He would take each verse and explain it using Greek and Hebrew to show us hidden truths about the Lord’s grace.

After months of viewing his program, my beliefs in Christ have not only been made stronger but clearer too. We never used to think of the Lord as a gracious God who always forgives us, but we used to think of Him as a fierce fatherly figure who punishes us for our sins. But Pastor Prince has taught me that it is not by my self-righteousness, but by God’s abundant grace that we are saved.

Now, I regularly subscribe to your Daily Grace Inspirations and I can say that my Bible knowledge has increased. My family and I are recovering from depression. And I know now that we need not fear the devil for Christ has saved us from our sins once and for all through His sacrifice on the cross. Thank you, Joseph Prince Ministries!
