Testimonies

I am a 25-year-old professional fighter living in Colorado, USA. I’m writing in to share a recent experience of God’s healing and favor.  

I grew up learning the grace message from my father who heard the message of grace while he was serving time in prison. Coincidentally, my father also owned a carpet-laying company called New Creation.  

Growing up in a low income family with my father as an ex-convict, I have witnessed the power and glory of the Lord throughout my life. Things that should never have been possible for my family, God made a way, and my life is a testimony to the loving kindness and grace of our Lord. I am far from perfect and probably make more mistakes than your average Joe, but thankfully, it’s not my righteousness but Jesus’ that makes me righteous.

As I mentioned I wanted to share my testimony of a recent healing I experienced that I am so grateful for. This isn’t the first time I’ve witnessed God do such a thing in my life but this time was special to me. It also confirms that the holy Communion teaching Pastor Joseph Prince preaches is from the Lord.

In August, I was preparing for a fight scheduled in October when during one intense sparring session, I was kicked hard in the calf. I didn’t know at the time that my fibula was broken but the pain was pretty intense.  

For the first 2 weeks of the injury I could barely walk. I thought that I had just seriously strained a muscle or ligament so I never went to get the injury checked out. In fact, by the third week of the injury, I was back to training, though not at 100 percent capacity. I was intent on competing and even though my leg wasn’t fully healed, I was determined to step into the cage.  

However, because of some complications, the fight I was scheduled for was moved back by a month and a half. This was truly God’s favor. Not only did it give me more opportunity to heal but the event ended up getting a better contract with a different broadcaster that would help further my career more than the original one would have. Also, since, the fight was pushed back, it meant I would also be able to see my favorite pastor, Joseph Prince, live in a worship service in New York City in October.  

When I attended service, I had a seriously annoying pain in my back on the right side that reached all the way into my neck. Being a fighter, I always seem to have injuries and pain that I’ve learned to deal and train with until they hopefully go away. But during the service Pastor Prince started calling out certain areas that the Holy Spirit was leading him to address. He looked out into the audience and called out exactly that painful spot in my back. He said that the Lord wanted that person to roll the shoulder a particular way and it would be healed.  

Initially, I didn’t really think anything of it because I figured the pain I had was another injury that I had to work through. But because it was the exact spot where the pain I was feeling was located, I felt that maybe the Lord was talking to me. Right as I rolled my shoulder I felt a pop in my back that literally pushed me forward…and the pain was immediately gone! When I went home to train again, I was feeling very confident about my body being able to perform.

That is, until I was kicked in the same spot as before and I felt like I had to completely start over in the healing process. The pain was severe again, and again I could barely walk. I started to doubt that the fight had been moved specifically for me and that all the good things that had happened were all part of God’s plan for me.  

During this time I was watching a lot of the messages on Josephprince.org and for what seemed like a week straight, the ministry continued to play the message of the power of the holy Communion. I took this as a sign from the Lord and started partaking of the Communion each day, sometimes multiple times a day. It seemed to get better but not enough to where I was confident in competing.  

The pain was still there as the fight approached, and was severe enough for me to get an X-ray on my fibula. Sure enough the images showed a break, not just a little one, but a full-on snapped bone. Everyone in my corner was telling me I should pull out of the fight and that it wasn’t worth risking my record to fight this time. A part of me agreed but another part of me believed that the Lord makes all things work out in our favor to those that trust in him.  

I continued taking Communion for about a week and asked the Lord to make it glaringly obvious if it was in his will to allow me to compete. The next day I had a follow up appointment with the orthopedist. I limped into his office where he had images of all the previous X-rays on my fibula.  He looked me dead in the eyes and said, “You are healed. You’re fine.”  

I was a little shocked because the pain was still there, the previous images had showed a break, and I could barely walk without a limp. He informed me that the bone itself was healed and there had been “a lot” of healing. He told me that the reason it was still hurting was that I had a hematoma and still some damage around the affected area but that I was cleared to compete. I had asked the Lord to make it obvious and he did. The fight was nearly here, the pain wasn’t gone yet but I knew the Lord would make all things work out in my favor.  

I continued to take the Communion until the day of the fight. By the time it came, my leg felt the best it had felt in 2 months. It was just like God’s timing too—right on time. During the fight, I was kicked in the leg 3 times and while it doesn’t feel good to get kicked in the leg it didn’t hurt any worse than it should have.

I know now why God had moved the fight for me and why all of these things happened the way they did. I ended up winning in the first round via submission and the fight opened up a lot of opportunities for my career just like I knew it would. God is true to His Word and makes all things work in our favor (Rom. 8:28).  

I believe also that He has set aside the holy Communion for His people. I believe that while it didn’t happen overnight, the reason my leg healed as strong as it did was Pastor Prince’s teaching us to discern Jesus’ broken body in the holy Communion.  

God says He will use the weak things of this world to confound the mighty. It’s confounding how just a cracker and grape juice can manifest healing through the finished work of Christ. How He can take a broken family and a broken kid and demonstrate His might and glory like He has in my life.  

I have seen God do these types of works time and time again but this particular time was special to me and my journey. I believe the Lord wants me to share my story so that others can know He would do the same for them.

In late 2018, my mom had a biopsy done on a lump in her left breast. The biopsy confirmed the lump to be cancerous. A further body scan also confirmed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.

The oncologist planned for 7 rounds of chemotherapy, followed by either a lumpectomy (excision of the lump) or mastectomy (excision of the whole breast). However, we knew the most critical thing to do was to receive from the One who according to the Bible, would never disappoint. From the day of the diagnosis, my family began receiving of the holy Communion daily.  

In January 2019, I got a copy of the Vision Sunday sermon. When I heard that the theme of the year was the Year of the Latter Rain, I was ecstatic! It was going to be the year that God profusely showers us with the latter rain that we may gather our grain, wine, and oil. What perfectly timely good news it was!

I immediately shared this with my family and our faith was further strengthened. We stood together in faith and in agreement that by Jesus’ broken body, my mom would receive complete healing for her breast cancer.

After the 7 rounds of chemotherapy, my mom opted for the lumpectomy. The surgeon excised the lump, which had shrunk considerably, along with a millimeter of extra tissue surrounding the lump. The surgeon also excised a lymph node. All tissue samples were sent to the lab.

A couple of days later, we received the results and they showed that the lump, including the surrounding tissue and the lymph node, were completely cancer-free!

After the surgery, my mom was scheduled to go through a year of maintenance therapy. During her latest visit, her oncologist was pleased with how well my mom has been doing and said my mom could actually finish this treatment 6 months earlier than planned!  

We thank our Savior, the Lord Jesus, for His perfect sacrifice on the cross that has qualified us to freely receive all of the Father’s blessings. Daddy God has been good and faithful to us!

I was addicted to masturbation and pornography because I suffered from rejection by my peers, and felt unloved. Even though I was a believer and wanted to live a life that glorified God, I couldn’t find a way to do that in my own strength. I cried myself to sleep because of the loneliness I felt. This made me indulge in sin even more as I felt like there was no way for me to stop, and no one cared about me anyway.
When I heard Pastor Prince preach on how the Lord has forgiven all our sins—past, present, and future—it struck a chord with me. It didn’t happen immediately, but after a month of watching Pastor Prince’s videos, being reminded and confessing that I am the righteousness of God in Christ, all the bondages in my life were broken.  

I no longer want to indulge in masturbation and pornography, and I am living every day knowing that my Daddy God loves me with an everlasting love. I’m now living in victory over my addictions and enjoying life every day.

Thank you so much, Lord, for raising Pastor Prince. The revelation of forgiveness of sins doesn’t make me want to sin more; it makes me love Jesus more than ever!

I was raised in church but never really understood what it meant to be a Christian. When I left my hometown to further my studies, I started to smoke, drink, and gamble. I even became addicted to pornography.  

Eventually, I got married and we had a baby boy. To support my family, I had to work overseas. When I was abroad, things grew worse. I started living in adultery, and my wife also got involved with another man. That crushed me. I was so hurt and felt that my life had no more meaning. Nonetheless, for the sake of my son, I still applied for my family to join me in Canada.  

Months after we reunited, my love for my wife was rekindled. However, the pain and hurt were still present. I realized that I needed God’s intervention, and we started going to church where we learned to forgive each other.  

One day, I came across Pastor Prince’s sermons on YouTube. His preaching was so profound yet straight to the point. I had never heard anyone share such amazing revelations and anointed words that imparted grace to listeners. I have learned a lot from Pastor Prince, including being conscious that we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. I would listen to his sermons all day long.  

Since then, I have been delivered from my drunkenness, stubbornness, and sexual immorality. My physical body has also gotten stronger after discerning the Lord’s body as I partake of the holy Communion daily. My wife was even healed of scoliosis without any surgery!  

We have also been practicing the Lord’s presence and love together. Now, our marriage is completely restored. Today whenever I am asked to share the Word of God, I make sure my message only points to Jesus, the reason for our living, and nothing else.  

All glory and praise to the Lord! Thank you, Pastor Prince, and New Creation Church!

When I was around 11 weeks pregnant, my gynaecologist discovered through an ultrasound scan that my baby had a worrying swelling from an unusually high measurement of fluid behind the neck. She explained that the normal measurement of the swelling should be less than 1.5 mm but my baby’s measurement was over 3 mm. This meant a high risk of a chromosomal abnormality such as Down’s syndrome or a congenital heart defect.

A second scan the next day revealed that the swelling had spread to my baby’s abdomen. Another gynaecologist was even invited to make yet another ultrasound scan and the diagnosis remained the same.

My husband and I were asked to consider if we would like to go for further tests or terminate the pregnancy. Our gynaecologist’s preference seemed to be for the latter. It was a difficult weekend. When Monday came, we decided to go for the chromosomal abnormality test. By then, my baby’s head, abdomen and limbs were all swollen.

As we waited for the test result, I started writing down healing verses from the Bible and meditating on the truth in Psalm 139 that the Lord is my baby’s creator. Thank God for Pastor Prince’s teaching on the holy Communion. It was the one “medicine” that I could take countless times without side effects. Whenever I got worried or wished I could “do” something, I would partake of the holy Communion and speak over my baby.

Surprisingly, that helped me to let go and rest. Sitting under Pastor Prince’s ministry over the years has also assured me that the Lord is not only able to perform a miracle for my child, He is also more than willing to do so.

On New Year’s Eve, my gynaecologist informed us that the chromosomal abnormality test turned out fine. However, she said that my child could still have a congenital heart defect, which was no less severe.

After the New Year, we went for a review and my gynaecologist was shocked to find that the swelling had subsided tremendously. She performed an extra-long ultrasound scan, flipped through her notes multiple times, then told us that she would have no objections if we wanted to continue with the pregnancy.

And so we did. By the fifth month of my pregnancy, all the swelling had disappeared. On 30 June 2016, our son was born healthy, whole, and strong. He hit his physical development milestones earlier than his older brother. He sat up before he was 6 months, pulled himself up at 7 months, started walking at 10 months, and was literally running even before he was a year old. A cardiac specialist also confirmed that his heart is perfectly formed.

Our son is a living, walking, drooling, super adorable testimony of Jesus’ incredible power and unimaginable love for our family. All praise, glory and thanks to our Lord Jesus!
