Personal Stories

I am twenty-six years old. From an early age, the Lord had started working in me the desire to know Him and have a relationship with Him. However, I held back because I came from a legalistic background and was afraid of losing my salvation.

I thank my Daddy God for Pastor Joseph Prince’s ministry, Grace Revolution Church Online (GRCO), and GRCO Digital Care Groups (DCG). My husband’s and my life have been radically transformed by the gospel of grace.

For almost 30 years, I was a prisoner of the law of the old covenant and was under harsh teachings from the pulpit. About 10 years ago, I made a decision to leave church after which I felt so lost and was almost driven to despair because of a guilt-ridden mind.

Pastor Prince, your ministry has helped me in ways beyond my imagination. My elder sister, Pooja, was the one who introduced me to your teachings. She had experienced the love of Jesus and I accepted Jesus partly due to her experience.

I have struggled with my daughters’ rebellion for the last four years. A year ago, my elder daughter even moved out of the house. Despite numerous efforts to rescue them from bad influences, they were futile.

I have been a Christian for almost 38 years. For years, I lived with sin-consciousness. The weight of God’s law was on my shoulders and my life was about striving to make myself acceptable and pleasing to God and man.

I was raised as a Christian and had accepted Christ in 1985. The many Christian churches I went to always taught a mixture of law and grace, and I was a lukewarm Christian. My dad was a womanizer and I grew up seeing how my mum suffered as a result. This and the lack of a father’s love made me believe wrongly and accept a man whom I thought was giving me the right kind of love.

I have always had a bad relationship with food. I would either overeat or go on extreme diets.But after listening to Pastor Prince’s messages on health and how Jesus through the cross provides restoration for my health, I realized that it wasn’t my relationship with my body or food that was unhealthy; it was my relationship with God that wasn’t right.

Pastor Joseph Prince, 6 years ago, my life was a disaster. I was forced to divorce my wife and to break up with my family and friends. I was at the lowest point in my life. I had a lot of financial debts, and I was addicted to pornography and smoking. I was completely alone without my family and friends. There were many days where I didn’t have anything to eat in the evening because I had no money.

I had been raised by a cruel and abusive father who was mentally unsound and incredibly legalistic. I spent my childhood fearing him and struggled desperately to be loved. By the time I was a teenager, my self-esteem was incredibly low. I thought I was hideously unattractive, stupid, and a burden to anybody I met.

Thank you so much for being my pastor and mentor all these years. I have followed your ministry from afar for a few years now and have discovered the greatest beauty of all—our Lord Jesus.

I used to help oversee a drug cartel in Sydney, Australia for the triads. Through the Lord’s intervention, I got saved while in prison. A very well–meaning pastor then taught me to work for my salvation. He also warned me about grace–filled churches and false doctrines. By the time I got out of prison, I was ready to work for God and give my life to Him as a slave.
