Personal Stories

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!

When our son Jonas was 11 months, he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. The doctors recommended that Jonas go for a bone marrow transplant as there was no other cure for the disease and we were told chemotherapy might not work.

My mother had always been open to prayers and hearing sermons, but she was never saved. So, one of my prayer requests this year was for her to receive Christ as her Lord and Saviour.

I was disowned by my dad when I was five years old. This caused me to grow up with a void in my heart. I was convinced that something I did had caused my dad to not want or love me.

My father had always been against Christianity and he would scold those who tried to evangelise to him.

I was born with an arthritic inflammation disease (AS) that attacked my body. For many years, I was unaware of what it was until I was correctly diagnosed in 2004. Although I have been a believer since 1987, I lived a defeated life without knowing it. But one morning, the Lord changed my course.

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.

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.

I’ve been listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons for about 2 years now. By simply allowing grace to flow into every part of my life and hearing about how much Daddy God loves me, my life has been transformed effortlessly.

We had always wanted a child from the first year of our marriage back in 2011. However, despite our best efforts, we never managed to conceive. It was not until our second year of marriage that we started consulting doctors to understand the complexity of the issues that both my wife and I were facing.
