Personal Stories

I had never heard the gospel preached until I chanced upon Pastor Prince’s YouTube channel. Pastor Prince’s preaching made it easy for me to understand the gospel of grace and how much the Lord Jesus loved me that He would die for me on the cross. Eventually, I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.

I grew up in a Christian household, but I never truly understood the love of God.

Pastor Prince, I’m a 15-year-old from the Philippines. My family and I have been watching your sermons since 2009 and I enjoy all of them!

I was given your book Destined To Reign, some years ago but never got round to reading it. Whilst cleaning out my book collection over a year ago, I donated all my Christian books to a local church library but Destined To Reign somehow stayed in my home unread.

A couple of years ago, I started a job in public transit that required me to work all over the city in different subway stations every night. As a junior employee, I had to man and close these stations till two o’clock in the morning.

Pastor Prince, my daughter made plans with two of her female friends from church to travel throughout Europe and Greece in July 2016. Even though our family and friends had concerns about her traveling in a time of global unrest and violence, my husband and I felt peace from the Lord and did not object to her plans.

While getting ready for work and doing household chores one morning, I asked my husband to play one of Pastor Prince’s sermons on YouTube. I didn’t have time to read my Bible or pray before going to work.

I was raised as a believer but was taught some limiting beliefs. I believed if I was trusting God for something and sinned, spoke negatively about it, or got in strife with someone, that would end my “faith walk” of trusting God for my breakthrough, and I had to start back at square one. I also believed that if my breakthrough took time or wasn’t happening, it was because my faith wasn’t enough.

In 2015, I started watching Pastor Prince on Trinity Broadcasting Network and got hold of his resources. During that time, I was struggling with my modules in school.

I’ve been reading praise reports about people receiving healing through the Holy Communion. So when I had pain in my lower abdomen, I got hold of a biscuit and some juice and watched a YouTube video of Pastor Prince blessing the Holy Communion elements.

Up until a few months ago, I was addicted to cigarettes and marijuana for 18 years and also to pornography. I had tried many times to quit all three because I knew they were wrong but felt so condemned that I couldn’t. The pornography addiction led me to massage parlours, which then led to me feeling even more condemned than before, as no one knew I was doing this.

I was convinced that I had committed the unpardonable sin mentioned in the Bible. As a result, I thought God and the Holy Spirit were far from me, and fell into severe depression and anxiety. I was under so much mental and emotional oppression that I could not function normally in daily life.
