A few years ago, my father passed away very suddenly  and I was completely bereft. I turned to alcohol to get through the dark days. I would drink to the point of not being able to remember things the next day. I was so ashamed of my behaviour, but no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not stop.

I have been a Christian since childhood. In this dark time, I would beg the Lord for help and attend Christian conferences, seeking prayer for deliverance, but nothing worked.

A year after my dad's passing and in the throes of a serious alcohol problem, I started listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons on YouTube. Then, I came across Pastor Prince’s sermon titled, "Five Words To Live By (The Battle Is The Lord's)”.

In the message, Pastor Prince taught from the life of King Jehoshaphat and said that whatever battle we are fighting, including addictions, it was not ours to fight, but God's. He also mentioned how our natural tendency is to do something, but God wants us to hold our peace and let Him do all the work so that He gets all the glory. That sermon changed my life! I have listened to it so many times that I literally know the whole sermon by heart, word for word.

My situation did not change immediately. I continued to drink heavily, but regardless, I held on for dear life to the teachings in this sermon. Every time I drank, I would confess that this battle belongs to God and my eyes are on my heavenly Father.

I also bought Pastor Prince’s book Destined To Reign after hearing him share a testimony of a brother who was delivered from smoking after reading the book. I started to declare that there was no more condemnation in my life, and that I'm perfectly righteous in Christ, even if I felt completely wretched and ashamed for failing yet again.

Then, one day, all of a sudden, I lost the desire to drink. Just like that. All the desire left! It was exactly what Pastor Prince mentioned that true deliverance is not you fighting the desire in you; but it is when the desire leaves. Hallelujah! Now it no longer matters whether there is alcohol around me. Other people might be drinking, but I am completely indifferent to it.

What freedom! Pastor Prince, that sermon of yours needs to be shared at every alcoholics anonymous meeting worldwide! I'm so happy to be partnering with your amazing ministry so that these life-changing messages can reach other people in their times of darkness.

I grew up without my mother, so my grandmother had to fill in the role as my mother. When she passed away, my life went downhill. Though I was already a believer, I stopped going to church. My family also had little time for me, and I lived a rebellious lifestyle. With little guidance, I got into bad company. At the age of 16, I was drinking almost every day, and smoking up to one and a half packets of cigarettes daily. I even got hooked on drugs for a period of time.

At the age of 21, I attempted suicide due to stress from a toxic relationship and many other things. This was the third time I tried to kill myself since I was 16. Needless to say, it was another unsuccessful attempt. I was admitted to the hospital and placed in the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for a while.

The entire ordeal was a blur to me, but during that dark season, I remember crying in my room, and hearing a voice saying, “I Am”.

I did not know what that meant until a few months later, after I came back to New Creation Church and started attending services regularly. Through Pastor Prince’s teaching, I realised that God never left me, especially in my time of need. I believe that the voice I heard during my dark season was God telling me, “I am your provision, I am your salvation”, and most importantly, “I am here”.

Today, I am 23 years old and I am completely set free from the chains that had a hold of me. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to quit smoking, but after I prayed and asked God for deliverance on my birthday, my Abba Father answered my prayer. And when God gives, He gives in abundance.

My relationship with my family has been restored, and I am also blessed with a boyfriend who loves and cares for me. He even attends church with me and is now saved!

Praise the Lord for not giving up on me, and turning the darkest period of my life into a testimony. I am so grateful for God’s grace, and I look forward to hearing Pastor Prince’s sermons every week!

My parents divorced when I was young, and I grew up with severe trust issues. I first got saved at a Christian conference years ago. Over the years, my intimacy with God started to fade and I found myself tempted by many things.

I became addicted to porn, alcohol, and drugs. On top of that, I also had an eating disorder. I would try very hard to be right with God, but found myself falling into legalism and constant self-condemnation.

I believed I had committed the unpardonable sin, that God had cut me off and there was no way back. I became sick from the stress of it, suffered panic attacks and was in agony.

Then, the Lord led me to Pastor Prince’s sermons and I learnt what grace truly is. I also learnt that the heart of our heavenly Father is full of love and mercy. Pastor Prince’s messages ministered to my soul.

I am no longer addicted to porn, alcohol, and drugs; and I do not have an eating disorder! The desires for these things left when I learnt about the superabounding grace of God. I know that I am forgiven, cleansed, and restored by the precious blood of Jesus.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your teachings on the grace and finished work of Jesus.
