Good Success Is In Your Mouth<br />

Joshua 1:8<br />

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate<br />

in it day and night…For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you<br />

will have good success.<br />

I had always wondered why the Torah (the first five books of Moses) is read<br />

out loud by the Jews. Then, a Jewish Christian told me that for generations,<br />

they read God’s Word out loud because of Joshua 1:8—“This Book of the<br />

Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and<br />

night…”<br />

The word “meditate” in English means to ponder. But in Hebrew, it is the<br />

word hagah, which means to utter or mutter under your breath. In other<br />

words, when you meditate on God’s Word, you speak forth or confess His<br />

Word instead of just giving it mental assent.<br />

My friend, hagah God’s Word by confessing verses in the areas that you are<br />

believing God for breakthroughs. When I was working in sales, I confessed<br />

verses like, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits<br />

of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty…” (Proverbs<br />

3:9–10) In the first year, I became the top salesman in my company! My way<br />

was made prosperous and I enjoyed good success.<br />

“Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>, I am waiting for God to make my way prosperous.” No,<br />

the Bible says that you will make your way prosperous when you hagah<br />

God’s Word. So speak forth verses in the areas which you want to see<br />

breakthroughs and you will have good success.<br />

Some people have success that destroys them—you don’t see them in church<br />

anymore and their family members don’t get to see them either. That is bad<br />

success. But when you hagah God’s Word, you will have good success that<br />

does not destroy you.<br />

Now, confessing God’s Word does not move God to do things for you. It<br />

is not a formula. God had already moved when He gave up Jesus to die for<br />

you. However, when you confess His Word, it moves you from a position<br />

of doubt to faith. It moves your heart from a position of “Is it true?” to “I<br />

believe it!” When that happens, “you will make your way prosperous, and<br />

then you will have good success”!<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 1


His Word<br />

THE YEAR OF<br />

UNCEASING<br />

FRUITFULNESS


I<br />

’ll always remember a trip my leaders and I made to Israel a few years ago. One<br />

day during that trip, as planned, we made our way to Tel Dan, where the source<br />

of the River Jordan is found.<br />

It was wintertime in Israel then, and so for stretches before we reached the river, we<br />

trudged alongside foliage made parched and colorless by the winter cold. But as we<br />

neared the river, a vastly different landscape greeted us.<br />

Instead of more bleak and barren foliage, lush and leafy green trees suddenly<br />

appeared, standing straight, strong and tall amid the flowing waters at the river<br />

mouth. Because of the waters, a refreshing oasis of thriving, verdant and luxuriant<br />

trees had sprung up and put an end to the up-to-then lifeless and impoverished<br />

scenery. It was a most rewarding and picturesque sight, and immediately, I was<br />

reminded of a beautiful promise in the Word of God:<br />

Jeremiah 17:7–8<br />

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he<br />

shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river,<br />

and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be<br />

anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.<br />

What an amazing picture God gives us of a man who is blessed of the Lord! When<br />

his trust and hope are in the Lord, this blessed man is like a tree planted by the<br />

waters—like the lush, green trees we saw. Good or bad times, his leaves are always<br />

green—he’s always young, fresh and healthy. And he’s unceasingly fruitful—always<br />

prospering in all that he does!<br />

Beloved, God did not put this beautiful picture in the Bible just to fill up space. It’s<br />

there to help you see who He wants you to be. He wants you to be this blessed man<br />

or woman. Yes, God wants you blessed every day of this year like the evergreen tree<br />

planted by the waters. Even when drought or challenges come, He doesn’t want<br />

you to fear or feel the heat. In fact, He wants you to experience UNCEASING<br />

FRUITFULNESS! What a powerful visual God has given you for this year!<br />

If you experienced disappointing results or setbacks last year, don’t dwell on them<br />

anymore. Expect to see good success this year. See yourself as the blessed man—<br />

the evergreen, ever-fruitful tree planted by the waters. This means that if you are<br />

a parent, expect to have more favor with your children. Expect to spend more<br />

quality time with them. Expect them to excel in their studies. If you are running a<br />

business, expect more clients and customers. Expect your sales to reach new levels.<br />

And if you’ve been believing God for a child, expect to conceive this year. Begin to<br />

expect unceasing fruitfulness in every area of your life!<br />

HOW DO YOU BECOME THE BLESSED MAN?<br />

Jeremiah 17:7 tells us clearly that the blessed man is someone who trusts and hopes<br />

in the Lord. So if you want to be the blessed man Jeremiah speaks of this year, start<br />

putting your trust and hope in the Lord.<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 3


“How do I do that, Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>?”<br />

That’s a good question, my friend. We often hear people<br />

telling us to “trust and hope in the Lord”. But what does that<br />

mean? How do we trust and hope in the Lord practically? Do<br />

we just go around saying, “Lord, I trust You”?<br />

I’m glad that the Bible shows us how we can trust and hope in<br />

the Lord. Look at Psalm 1:1–3:<br />

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the<br />

ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the<br />

seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the<br />

Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall<br />

be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings<br />

forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither;<br />

and whatever he does shall prosper.<br />

Don’t the words sound familiar? Like the prophet Jeremiah,<br />

the psalmist paints an identical picture of the blessed man—<br />

an evergreen, ever-fruitful tree planted by the waters. And<br />

why is this man so blessed? Because “his delight is in the law<br />

of the Lord [Word of God], and in His law he meditates day<br />

and night”. That, my friend, is how you practically put your<br />

trust and hope in the Lord. You delight in and MEDITATE<br />

on His Word day and night!<br />

THE BLESSED MAN VERSUS<br />

THE CURSED MAN<br />

Notice that the psalmist also tells us that the blessed man<br />

“walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the<br />

path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful”. What<br />

does this mean? It simply means that the blessed man does<br />

not depend on the advice of people or so-called “experts” who<br />

are independent of God. Neither does he follow others in<br />

scheming, cheating and plotting to prosper. And he certainly<br />

doesn’t join in all the negative, cynical coffee shop talk!<br />

The man who does all these is actually not putting his trust<br />

and hope in the Lord, but in fallible man and self. He is not<br />

delighting in and meditating on what God’s Word says, but<br />

what the people of the world say. Interestingly, the prophet<br />

Jeremiah describes such a man as the cursed man. He says<br />

that the cursed man “is the man who trusts in man and<br />

makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.<br />

For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see<br />

when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the<br />

wilderness” (Jeremiah 17:5–6).<br />

So unlike the blessed man who trusts in the Lord<br />

by delighting in and meditating on His Word, the<br />

cursed man trusts in man and himself. He relies on the<br />

ungodly counsel of the world, depends completely on<br />

his own self-efforts and has no heart for the Lord or<br />

His Word. The result? Even when good comes (God<br />

in His grace is still good to him!), he cannot see it. He<br />

sees only the negative.<br />

Have you met people like that? They could be blessed<br />

with a loving spouse and beautiful children, but all<br />

they see are shortcomings or issues in them: “My<br />

husband is not romantic enough!” “My baby is always<br />

fussing. I’m sick and tired of trying to figure out what<br />

he wants.” They are constantly grumpy and unhappy.<br />

They look at the things that went wrong, rather than<br />

the good that God is doing in their lives. So even when<br />

the blessings of God come right under their noses, they<br />

don’t see or experience His goodness.<br />

GOD’S WORD IS UNSHAKABLE<br />

My friend, God certainly doesn’t want you to live life<br />

as the cursed man. He sent His Son Jesus to die on the<br />

cross for you and redeem you from every curse so that<br />

you can live an abundant life. Today, because of Jesus’<br />

sacrifice, you have a blood-bought right to live life as<br />

the blessed man of Jeremiah 17 and Psalm 1. Choose<br />

therefore to be the blessed man or woman. Begin to<br />

enjoy good success in every area of your life by putting<br />

your trust and hope in Jesus alone. And the way you do<br />

that practically is to delight in and meditate day and<br />

night on God’s everlasting and unshakable Word.<br />

You see, God’s Word is a guaranteed constant. It<br />

never fails, never changes and never fades away. It will<br />

always stand the test of time. Ungodly counsel, on the<br />

other hand, is as fickle as the changing wind. Worldly<br />

opinions on the health of the world’s economy, for<br />

example, keep changing (usually for the worse).<br />

In contrast, God’s Word on the health of heaven’s<br />

economy never changes. God’s prognosis is always<br />

the same for every one of His children: His abundant<br />

supply is always flowing. And He has promised to<br />

supply all our needs, not according to how the world’s<br />

economy is performing, but according to His infinite<br />

riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)!


Begin to enjoy good<br />

success in every area<br />

of your life by putting<br />

your trust and hope in<br />

Jesus alone.<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 5


Beloved, if you want to be the blessed man and<br />

enjoy unceasing fruitfulness this year, put your trust<br />

wholeheartedly in the Lord by meditating day and night<br />

on His wonderful promises found in His Word!<br />

MEDITATE THE BIBLE WAY<br />

“So how do I ‘meditate’ on God’s Word, Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>?”<br />

That’s another good question to ask and I’ll gladly answer<br />

it here.<br />

Many believers think that meditating on God’s Word<br />

is simply about pondering on or mulling over Bible<br />

scriptures. In other words, you take a scripture that<br />

speaks to you, memorize it, and then think on it. That’s<br />

certainly a good practice to have, but it’s not really Bible<br />

meditation. Why? Because Bible meditation also involves<br />

MUTTERING God’s Word.<br />

If you look at the word “meditates” in Psalm 1:2, it is the<br />

Hebrew word hagah, which means to utter or mutter, to<br />

speak to oneself in a low voice, as is often done by those<br />

who are musing. So as you muse on God’s Word, you<br />

also mutter it or speak it under your breath. That’s true<br />

Bible meditation.<br />

Let me give you a practical example to help you<br />

understand what I’m saying.<br />

Suppose you are going through financial lack. Open<br />

your Bible and choose a provision promise like Psalm<br />

23:1—“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”<br />

Start chewing on it and muttering it under your breath<br />

throughout the day. Bring up the verse in the day when<br />

you are waiting in line or sitting in traffic. Ponder it and<br />

mutter it to yourself: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall<br />

not want… This means that I shall not lack any good<br />

thing. I will not lack provision. Why? Because the Lord<br />

Himself is right now my shepherd. And as my shepherd,<br />

He is taking good care of me.”<br />

Bring it up again when you may be sleepless in bed at<br />

night because your heart is burdened with cares. Day<br />

and night, night and day, let God’s Word nourish and<br />

strengthen you. Let it drive out your fears and anxieties,<br />

and impart His wisdom and favor to you.<br />

Again, don’t just mull over the verse. Mutter it. Open<br />

your mouth and speak His Word over yourself and your<br />

situation day and night. That’s how you hold on to His<br />

promises in faith and experience His blessings!<br />

FROM UNEMPLOYED TO ASSISTANT<br />

VICE-PRESIDENT<br />

A precious brother in our congregation had been looking<br />

for a job for about 10 months. He only had a high school<br />

education certificate and a few years of experience in the<br />

kind of work he was looking for. Despite having gone for<br />

more than 10 interviews, he wasn’t offered a single job.<br />

In fact, in one of the interviews, he was even ridiculed<br />

for having only high school education. At a few other<br />

interviews, he was asked to accept a huge pay cut in<br />

return for an opportunity to prove himself. Although he<br />

agreed to it, he wasn’t offered any position.<br />

Needless to say, this brother got discouraged. He also<br />

blamed himself for having only high school education.<br />

And fearful of being mocked by others, he isolated<br />

himself and became a recluse. He was on the verge of<br />

giving up all hope when he chanced upon one of my<br />

sermon video clips on the Internet.<br />

In this sermon, I encouraged believers to speak God’s<br />

Word over their situation. As he listened, he felt like<br />

the Lord was telling him not to give up, and he kept<br />

watching the clip over and over again. With rising faith,<br />

he began listening to more of my sermons. In another<br />

sermon, he heard me teach that when we meditate on and<br />

speak God’s Word, we are speaking the truth and His<br />

Word will become real in our lives. From then on, he just<br />

kept believing and speaking (or muttering) God’s Word<br />

over his situation. He kept believing and proclaiming that<br />

he had already received the Lord’s unmerited favor and<br />

guidance.<br />

Let me share with you his own words on the fruits of his<br />

meditating on God’s Word:<br />

I felt overwhelming peace entering my body,<br />

mind and soul. For the first time in my life, I felt<br />

indescribable peace and assurance that Jesus heard my<br />

prayers and that He has a plan for me.<br />

Within two weeks, miracles started to happen. I<br />

received a call from a headhunter informing me of<br />

an interview for a managerial position. Prior to the


interview, I continued to pray and proclaim that the<br />

interview would be a successful one.<br />

After the first interview, I was scheduled for another<br />

two interviews despite not meeting the company’s<br />

prerequisite of having a college degree. By the end<br />

of two weeks, I received a call from the headhunter.<br />

Instead of offering me the managerial position I had<br />

applied for, I was given the role of assistant vicepresident!<br />

Praise the Lord!<br />

This precious brother is now happily employed in a<br />

company that happens to be one of the top companies in<br />

his particular industry. He has great colleagues too. They<br />

get together fortnightly to pray for one another and give<br />

praise to Jesus!<br />

MAKE BIBLE MEDITATION A LIFESTYLE<br />

I’m so happy for this brother! Once he had a personal<br />

revelation of Jesus’ love for Him through the preaching<br />

of the Word, he didn’t let it go. He kept chewing on the<br />

Lord’s promises, pondering and proclaiming them over<br />

and over again. The result was that the Lord continually<br />

strengthened and encouraged him, imparted His shalom<br />

peace to him, and caused him to become a blessed man.<br />

He experienced fruitfulness through meditating on<br />

God’s Word!<br />

Perhaps like this brother, you’ve been rejected many times<br />

in your efforts to get a job. Or maybe you are experiencing<br />

barrenness in the area of your health—you keep getting<br />

sick despite your best efforts to be healthy. Or perhaps it’s<br />

a work problem—month after month, you can’t seem to<br />

meet the sales quota, and your boss is turning up the heat.<br />

The results you want are not forthcoming despite all your<br />

efforts. You are frustrated, discouraged and worn out.<br />

My friend, this year, instead of focusing on the problem<br />

and trying to fix it, focus on the Lord and His promises<br />

found in His Word. To see not just fruitfulness but<br />

unceasing fruitfulness this year, choose to meditate on<br />

His Word. Whatever your area of lack, set aside time in<br />

the day and night to meditate on His Word. When you<br />

meditate on all the wonderful promises He has for you,<br />

you can’t help but be uplifted by His love for you. This<br />

is how meditating on God’s Word becomes a delight, not<br />

a work or ritual. And as you delight in His Word, like a<br />

tree with its roots spread out by the rivers of water, you’ll<br />

flourish and experience good success in areas that used to<br />

be dry and barren.<br />

So every day, choose a scripture or passage of scripture<br />

that speaks to you and meditate on it day and night. If<br />

you say, “Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>, I would really love to be strong<br />

and healthy,” then I encourage you to meditate on “its leaf<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 7


As you keep delighting<br />

in and meditating on His<br />

Word day and night, you<br />

will experience the Lord’s<br />

favor and unceasing<br />

fruitfulness in every area<br />

of your life!<br />

will be green” or “whose leaf also shall not wither” in<br />

Jeremiah 17:8 and Psalm 1:3. Say to yourself, “The<br />

‘leaf’ of the blessed man (or woman) is always green.<br />

That’s God’s promise for me. This means that I am<br />

always in the best of health, always youthful, fresh<br />

and strong! That’s what is happening to me.” And the<br />

more you meditate on this truth, the more you’ll see<br />

renewal of youth and divine health, and strength and<br />

life flowing in your body.<br />

Beloved, decide today to purposefully saturate yourself<br />

with the Lord’s love, strength, wisdom and life that is<br />

found in His Word. And the blessing or fruit that you<br />

desire will manifest as an outflow of that life. As you<br />

keep delighting in and meditating on His Word day<br />

and night, you will experience the Lord’s favor and unceasing<br />

fruitfulness in every area of your life!<br />

JOSHUA’S LIFE OF GOOD SUCCESS<br />

Let’s look at an account of someone in the Bible who<br />

prioritized meditating on God’s Word. If there’s one man<br />

in the Bible who was told specifically by God to meditate<br />

on His Word day and night, it was Joshua. Joshua had just<br />

taken over from Moses as leader of the Israelites. This young<br />

man had big sandals to fill. He had to lead some three million<br />

Israelites, who were in the habit of complaining and doubting<br />

God, into the promised land. He had cities to conquer and<br />

giants to kill. Without a doubt, Joshua needed all the help he<br />

could get from God, and God knew it. That’s why He gave


Joshua the secret to prospering in all that he did and<br />

having good success:<br />

Joshua 1:8<br />

This Book of the Law [God’s Word] shall not depart<br />

from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day<br />

and night, that you may observe to do according to<br />

all that is written in it. For then you will make your<br />

way prosperous, and then you will have good success.<br />

God told Joshua that if he would not let His Word<br />

depart from his mouth by meditating on it day and<br />

night, he would prosper and have good success in all that<br />

he did. This means that Joshua would see divine results<br />

each time he led the Israelites into battle. He would see<br />

good come out of all the projects that he undertook.<br />

That’s unceasing fruitfulness! He would also be well<br />

provided for, well protected and remain hale and hearty<br />

in body.<br />

Joshua did as instructed by the Lord. And did the Lord<br />

keep His promise? Let’s find out by taking a closer look<br />

at Joshua’s life.<br />

What was Joshua’s health report like?<br />

The Bible tells us that Joshua was a mighty warrior. The<br />

Lord gave him strength and wisdom, and led him to<br />

conquer many enemies of Israel. The Lord also gave him<br />

strength for war, blessed him with long life and he lived<br />

to 110 (Joshua 24:29).<br />

What about his financial statement?<br />

The Bible tells us that “they buried him within the<br />

border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in<br />

the mountains of Ephraim” (Joshua 24:30). Timnath<br />

Serah means “abundant portion” while Ephraim means<br />

“double fruitfulness”. So Joshua’s inheritance included a<br />

territory that had abundant provision and which sat on a<br />

mountain that overflowed with fruitfulness. God blessed<br />

him with literally a mountain of provision so that there<br />

was no lack whatsoever in his life!<br />

But more importantly, what was Joshua’s influence like<br />

as leader of the Israelites?<br />

Look at his impact and ministry: “Israel served the Lord<br />

all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who<br />

outlived Joshua” (Joshua 24:31). What a testimony! The<br />

entire nation served the Lord under Joshua’s leadership and<br />

even after he had passed on. Joshua’s ministry was one of<br />

high impact.<br />

Pastors and church leaders, what a wonderful testimony of<br />

your life it is when the people whom God has placed under<br />

you love Him and serve Him all the days of your life. Dads<br />

and mums, how satisfying and rewarding it is when the<br />

same happens to your children under your parenting!<br />

UNCEASING FRUITFULNESS<br />

EVERY DAY THIS YEAR<br />

God is no respecter of persons. What He did for Joshua,<br />

He wants to do for you too. You can have Joshua’s success.<br />

You can prosper in all that you do. You can experience<br />

unceasing fruitfulness this year and for the rest of your life!<br />

The secret is to simply delight in and meditate on God’s<br />

Word day and night.<br />

So my friend, I would like to challenge you to make a<br />

radical decision today to begin meditating on God’s Word<br />

like never before. And to get started, you can sign up at<br />

josephprince.org to receive daily Grace Inspirations in your<br />

email to help you chew on and be encouraged by His Word<br />

every single day.<br />

Beloved, one word, one revelation from Him, can turn your<br />

whole life around. So give your time, mind and voice to<br />

God’s Word. And as you make it a lifestyle, you will see His<br />

unceasing fruitfulness begin to manifest in your life every<br />

day of 2012 and in the years to come!<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 11


MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS PROTECTED<br />

FROM TORNADO<br />

In January 2011, in your message of the year (God Has<br />

Crowned You With Glory And Honor), you mentioned<br />

that we needed the Lord’s protection in 2011. I listened<br />

to that message over and over again, and confessed that<br />

my family and I were crowned with the Lord’s glory and<br />

honor.<br />

On April 28, 2011, my two daughters and I went on<br />

a road trip within the United States (from Virginia to<br />

Georgia). This was the day of one of the biggest tornado<br />

outbreaks in US history. A few days before we left for<br />

the trip, I had the urge to just read Psalm 91 and Psalm<br />

23 with my children. We read the scriptures and quoted<br />

verses out loud, and then I read it again to my girls as<br />

they drifted off to sleep.<br />

On the day of the trip itself, we encountered horrendous<br />

storms with awfully dark clouds, torrential winds and<br />

hail as we drove through Virginia and Tennessee. In<br />

my heart, I felt that I needed to just drive through the<br />

storms and did so by God’s grace.<br />

We stopped to eat in North Georgia. I wanted to hurry<br />

and eat so that we could get back on the road quickly.<br />

But in my heart, I felt the Lord telling me to slow down<br />

and let my girls eat and relax, and not to rush them.<br />

When we left the restaurant, I felt the urge to get gas<br />

at the gas station next door. I didn’t know why because<br />

my gas tank was still more than half full. But I did<br />

it anyway. Then, we got back on the highway and<br />

continued our trip.<br />

After travelling less than a mile, the traffic came to a<br />

complete stop. We waited for a while and then realized<br />

that something serious had just happened right up ahead.<br />

A large tornado had just torn through the town directly in<br />

front of us only minutes before! It had traveled and caused<br />

destruction on the very section of highway that we were<br />

going to travel on. By God’s grace, the Lord had us stop<br />

and get food and gas, slowing us down enough to keep us<br />

from the destructive tornado! We missed the tornado by<br />

only three to five minutes.<br />

We were stuck on the highway for five hours as emergency<br />

crews began to emerge from everywhere to help the<br />

victims of the tornado. We prayed in the Holy Spirit for<br />

the victims and sang praises to the Lord for His saving<br />

grace. We were in the car and couldn’t move for five hours.<br />

While we waited in the car, another storm arose and<br />

traveled over us. It shook our SUV violently and all those<br />

on the radio said that another tornado was imminent. We<br />

were stuck on the highway with no way to exit. The exit up<br />

ahead had been torn apart by the tornado.<br />

I began to confess Psalm 91 over us and told my daughters<br />

that the Lord would keep us safe no matter what the storm<br />

looked like. The Word of God calmed our hearts. We<br />

turned off the bad news on the radio and just sang praises<br />

to God for His protection, and He protected us. The<br />

second storm didn’t produce another tornado! The Lord<br />

kept us safe and I am so thankful!<br />

The devil intended to cause destruction in our lives in<br />

2011, but the Lord’s amazing power, love and grace made<br />

sure that we were always held safe and warm in the secret


place of the Most High.<br />

Thank you so much for preaching the true gospel of Jesus<br />

Christ. God bless and keep you and your family!<br />

FREED FROM PORNOGRAPHY PURELY BY<br />

GOD’S GRACE<br />

I have been going to church for 20-plus years and yet was<br />

addicted to pornography. I hated myself because I couldn’t<br />

stop my addiction. I felt like leaving the church as I felt like<br />

a hypocrite. I told my sister about my addiction and she<br />

prayed for me.<br />

A few years later, she told me about Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>. I<br />

grudgingly put his sermon CD that she had given me into<br />

the player, not expecting anything to happen. As I listened<br />

to the message, God spoke to me like never before. I broke<br />

down and was overcome with tears of relief and joy.<br />

I had so many revelations from God that I found myself<br />

so overwhelmed by His love for me. It was the first time I<br />

heard the true gospel of grace. God has been teaching me<br />

to live by faith and not by the law. His grace has completely<br />

broken the chains that bound me to pornography.<br />

Thank you, Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>, for preaching the true gospel of<br />

grace. God bless you and your family.<br />

RETINAL DETACHMENT AVERTED AFTER<br />

HOLY COMMUNION<br />

I have been a born-again Christian since March 11, 1977.<br />

Ever since I watched you on Nine TV at 6am and 7am, I<br />

have been hungering for God’s Word like never before.<br />

I was at work one day and all of a sudden, my right eye<br />

went blurry and I saw thousands of black dots. I went<br />

to my eye doctor after work and he said that I needed to<br />

have emergency surgery on my eye.<br />

As I had read your book on the Holy Communion<br />

previously, I told my doctor that I wanted to wait and<br />

not have immediate surgery. I then partook of the Holy<br />

Communion two to three times a day. When I went<br />

back for a checkup, a specialist came to have a look at<br />

my eye and found zero black spots.<br />

The Lord Jesus is so good. My wife, Patti, and I shared<br />

my experience with people and got very odd looks from<br />

most of them. We take the Holy Communion almost<br />

every day. We’ve never gotten sick ever since we started<br />

doing this two and a half years ago. Praise the Lord!<br />

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME HEALED<br />

I have been watching <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Prince</strong>’s sermons since<br />

September 2011. It is such a relief to hear that God isn’t<br />

angry with me, that He loves me so much and that Jesus<br />

has already provided everything for me on the cross.<br />

I have soaked up Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>’s sermons like a dry<br />

sponge and I still do!<br />

The whole of last summer, I had been to many doctors<br />

trying to get relief from PCOS (polycystic ovary<br />

syndrome). I had struggled with this condition since I<br />

was a teen. I latched onto the Bible story of the woman<br />

with the issue of blood who had sought doctor after<br />

doctor and was still no better. That was me. No one<br />

could cure the root cause of PCOS.<br />

Just around the time I had given up on doctors, I came<br />

across <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> and his message of God’s grace. I<br />

gave up trying to get help and gave it over to Jesus to<br />

heal me since I came to believe that this condition has<br />

no place in my body because Jesus had already taken<br />

it all on the cross. And even though the doctors didn’t<br />

GOSPEL REVOLUTION 13


know how to treat the root cause, I knew that Jesus had<br />

the solution.<br />

In September, I had an under-35-day monthly cycle. Up<br />

to that time, my cycles were around 40 days and often<br />

would just skip months. After September, my cycles<br />

came every month, on time, every 31 days, give or take<br />

a day. I have NEVER had regular cycles. So I knew that<br />

Jesus was working in me.<br />

Last week, I had an ultrasound to see why I was having<br />

pain mid-cycle. I have had many ultrasounds of my<br />

ovaries before and they always showed enlarged ovaries<br />

with many lumps and bumps (the eggs were not fully<br />

maturing or releasing). But this time, my ovaries were<br />

100 percent normal!<br />

My left ovary was small, smooth with no bumps and<br />

my right ovary was only slightly larger with one big<br />

follicle! Normal! My doctor was amazed and I was<br />

overjoyed! The slight pain I was having was normal<br />

ovulation symptoms—something I wasn’t used to.<br />

I understand now that Jesus loves me SO much that He<br />

met my need. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and love,<br />

and I’m so grateful to Pastor <strong>Prince</strong> for teaching me<br />

about God’s grace.<br />

Thank you! And thank You, God, Jesus and the Holy<br />

Spirit! Saying, “Thank you” is not enough to express<br />

how I feel. My heart is exploding because my Jesus<br />

loves me!<br />

RESTORED MOTHER-DAUGHTER<br />

RELATIONSHIP<br />

Sometime back, I was listening to your CD sermon, The<br />

Year Of Unceasing Fruitfulness, where you asked those<br />

listening to you to bring three prayer requests to the Lord<br />

at the end of the sermon. I followed exactly what you said.<br />

My very first prayer request was to have my relationship<br />

with my daughter restored. She had stopped all<br />

communication with me since April 2011.<br />

On the afternoon of February 15, I logged onto my email<br />

account and noticed a message from my daughter. She<br />

asked if I was available during the period of her short<br />

holiday in Bangkok, which is where I’ve been stationed<br />

because of work.<br />

I was so overwhelmed by her message that I just kept<br />

thanking and praising our wonderful, loving and<br />

compassionate Father. Not only was our relationship<br />

restored as we continued to communicate over the next<br />

few days, I was also informed that her roommate in the<br />

dormitory that she was staying in is a Christian girl and<br />

they are close buddies. Previously, she did not have a<br />

roommate and I was worried about her safety.<br />

God really knows a mother’s heart and desire. He is so<br />

caring and always working behind the scenes. He is so<br />

faithful. He hears and answers my prayers.<br />

Thank you! God’s abundant goodness and favor be upon<br />

you and your ministry.<br />

ENJOYING JESUS AND HIS COMPLETE<br />

FORGIVENESS<br />

I am 57 years old and I live in Wales in the United<br />

Kingdom. I have done a lot of bad stuff and have been<br />

carrying the guilt and condemnation with me most of my<br />

life. I always thought that God was punishing me every<br />

time something went wrong. My first marriage ended in<br />

failure after 21 years. I had an abusive father and wanted<br />

him dead. I have even tried to kill myself.


One day, I chanced upon one of your broadcasts on<br />

television and was intrigued by what you said about<br />

God’s forgiveness. I had been taught before that I have<br />

to always ask for forgiveness and to constantly search<br />

my heart for sin. Halfway through your message, I<br />

had to pause the program and thank Jesus for His<br />

forgiveness, and I cried for a long time.<br />

I bought two of your books, Destined To Reign and<br />

Unmerited Favor a while back. I have nearly finished<br />

reading Destined To Reign and I can’t put it down. I<br />

now know who Jesus is and what He has done for me.<br />

My prayer times have become a privilege and I can’t<br />

wait to have my time in the morning with Jesus.<br />

I praise God for you and thank you from the bottom<br />

of my heart for your obedience to your calling to<br />

preach the pure gospel of Jesus. Your teachings have<br />

changed my life forever. I record your broadcasts and<br />

watch them throughout the day.<br />

I have just finished watching your broadcast, How You<br />

See Jesus Is How You Will Receive. I now know that I<br />

am forgiven of my past, present and future sins, and<br />

that the Holy Spirit does not convict me of my sins.<br />

I am truly blessed and highly favored, and my God<br />

loves me unconditionally. Thank you for preaching the<br />

gospel of grace!<br />

HEALED OF CHRONIC PAIN THROUGH<br />

MEDITATING ON GOD’S WORD<br />

I had this pain in my back for almost two years.<br />

When I gave my life to Jesus two years ago, I stopped<br />

slouching and started walking and sitting up straight,<br />

and my back started to hurt intermittently.<br />

For the last four or five months, it had gotten really bad.<br />

Certain ranges of motion would cause a very sharp pain in<br />

my right shoulder blade.<br />

It had gotten to the point where I was very conscious of<br />

the pain and constantly wondered when my healing was<br />

going to manifest. I even thought that maybe Jesus didn’t<br />

consider this to be that big of a deal and that<br />

my back would heal once my muscles got used to the new<br />

posture.<br />

Today at lunch, I read your word on meditating to release<br />

the power of God’s Word in our lives. You mentioned “The<br />

Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” as an example. I<br />

love that scripture, so I decided to<br />

start with it. I said it maybe 15 times while I was at work<br />

today, and found it very encouraging and<br />

heart-warming.<br />

On my way home, I continued to meditate on the Bible<br />

the way you taught. So I started to say, “The Lord is my<br />

shepherd, I shall not want,” over and over again. I was<br />

meditating on how Jesus IS my shepherd, and how kind<br />

He is to want to be our shepherd, instead of any other kind<br />

of person He could have chosen to be to us. And I just saw<br />

the Lord in front of me gently leading me. I thought on the<br />

fact that I shall not want for protection on the road, I shall<br />

not want for healing, I shall not want for favor at work.<br />

Every breath seemed to just release deeper waves of healing<br />

throughout my entire being and I started to notice the<br />

pain in my back just dissipate. I worked my arm and neck<br />

around to find where the pain used to be and couldn’t find<br />

it anymore! This is a miracle! There is no mistaking what I<br />

am able to freely do with my arm now with no pain. I feel<br />

like I have an entirely new shoulder blade.<br />

Praise the Lord! He really loves me. He loves all of us. He<br />

eally is everything His Word says He is. The Lord is my<br />

shepherd, I shall not want!<br />

INTENSE BACK PAIN LEFT AFTER HOLY<br />

COMMUNION<br />

Two weeks ago, I was exercising at home by myself<br />

when my back started to hurt badly. The muscles on the<br />

left side of my back went into spasms. I could hardly<br />

move and fell to the floor as the pain left me breathless.<br />

I laid there for more than 40 minutes. Every time I tried<br />

to move, the pain would return.<br />

Sitting under your teaching, I believed that taking the<br />

Holy Communion would help, so I made my way to<br />

the kitchen and took Communion. The pain was still<br />

so intense that I had to crawl on my hands and knees<br />

to get out of the kitchen. I confessed again out loud,<br />

“Jesus, by Your stripes I am healed! One of my benefits<br />

of being God’s child is that You heal ALL my diseases!”<br />

In the midst of the spasms and pain, I stood up<br />

believing. And the pain left. It was GONE! Praise Him<br />

who is faithful to His promises!<br />

GRACE SUPPLIES FOR GROCERIES AND<br />

MORTGAGE PAYMENTS<br />

The message of grace has so revolutionized my life. I<br />

am resting each day in the finished work of Jesus at the<br />

cross.<br />

I am in ministry and we had some financial troubles<br />

that worried me. I read in the <strong>Gospel</strong> <strong>Revolution</strong><br />

newsletter about how the law demands and grace<br />

supplies. So I trusted God.<br />

We have a family of six and we had no money to buy<br />

groceries. I was also three months behind on my mortgage<br />

payments. I got a letter from the mortgage company stating<br />

that it wanted US$2,781 by March 7, 2012, or else it would<br />

proceed with the foreclosure process.<br />

That brought fear, but then I heard the Lord remind me of<br />

Psalm 112, which says that the righteous has no fear of bad<br />

news. So I trusted in God’s promise to me.<br />

Well, praise the Lord! Someone called us out of the blue<br />

and said that they wanted to buy us groceries. And that’s<br />

not all! I went to see my accountant that afternoon after I<br />

received the letter and had my taxes brought down. I found<br />

out that I was getting back US$7,000 on my tax return and<br />

I was amazed.<br />

God blessed us with more than enough. Now, I will not<br />

only be able to catch up with my mortgage payments, but<br />

also pay ahead. God is so good. HE is my supply!<br />
