Freed From Suicidal Thoughts And Addiction, Marriage Restored

I gave my heart to Jesus at nine years of age because of my mom. God blessed me tremendously throughout my life in so many ways. However, as I grew up, I gradually grew away from Him. For some reason, I thought I was right with Him until life happened, and I ended up in a very dark place.

I was at my lowest and hit rock bottom spiritually. The enemy attacked me from all corners of my life and sowed guilt, shame, and condemnation in me. I was depressed, and the enemy gave me thoughts of suicide and how to execute it.

My wife and I were on the brink of divorce, and everything looked like it was going downhill with no point of return. I longed to have another baby with my wife, which looked impossible, but the Lord led me to hold on no matter how difficult the attack on my life was. I called out to Jesus at my lowest point, and He surely reached out to me. He restored me and all things in my life. Where sin increased, grace superabounded (Romans 5:20–21).

The Lord spoke restoration over me in an encounter one morning. I was awakened by His voice, which I felt in my spirit. His voice quickened me as if I was resuscitated from death itself. He led me to start listening to Pastor Prince on YouTube. I listened to sermons on restoration and meditated on many of Pastor Prince’s teachings, especially how we’re the righteousness of God in Christ. Pastor Joseph Prince was a colossal help in my walk with Christ. I got hold of his book The Prayer of Protection Devotional and read it twice.

Jesus brought me closer to the Father. I died in the flesh but was made alive in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18). I’ve been set free from an alcohol addiction, smoking cigarettes, and pornography. While journeying with Jesus, He showed me how He was with me throughout the struggles in my life and how He had kept me from harm. He was by my side, holding me while I was feeling the heavy weight of all the hurt and depression in my life at the time.

Today, my marriage has been restored, and we have been blessed by the birth of our beautiful baby boy. Our baby boy is the manifestation of the Lord’s restoration in my life. I truly believe that, so I dedicated him to the Lord. I’ve even been set free from the fear of driving a vehicle by meditating on scriptures. I’m also in the process of being set free financially.

I could write a book just on the two-year walk I had with my Lord. By His grace, I am a new creation. Thank You, Jesus, and I’m thankful He led me to Pastor Prince and his Christ-centred teachings. May God continue to bless Pastor Prince, his family, and his church. All glory to God!

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.
