Personal Stories

I grew up in a legalistic environment. We were taught to ask for God’s forgiveness each time we sinned to avoid going to hell. We were also taught that we could lose our salvation and that kept us sin-conscious.

I have always loved Psalms 91 but my love for it intensified after I read The Prayer of Protection by Pastor Joseph Prince. I love it so much that I taught it to my 11-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son.

My wife had contemplated suicide because I kept failing to keep the promises I made to her. It seemed like the more I struggled to do things right, the more I ended up doing those things wrong.

I was working as an executive assistant to the general manager with a renowned semi-government company. Everything was working fine for me in the organization until I was pregnant with my second child.

I was baptized when I was thirteen years old but I did not attend a church until I got married. I was so happy to attend church every Sunday after I met my husband, but even though I did that and tithed regularly, there was an emptiness in my heart that I could not understand.

In my final year of high school, I was left to choose between two different courses offered by two different universities. It was a difficult decision, made worse by my relatively young age and inexperience.

I am from India but currently doing my Master’s degree in the United States. When I arrived in the country, my sister-in-law gave me Joseph Prince’s book The Prayer of Protection. I started reading the book and since then I’ve made Psalm 91 my daily prayer. My fiancé and I are also reading Psalm 91 together daily.

My wife and I were greatly impacted after viewing Pastor Joseph Prince’s DVD on the Holy Communion. It changed the way we saw the blood and body of Christ and we decided to put what we learned in those teachings into practice as care pastors for our church.

Last year, I was unjustly fired from a job and had difficulty finding employment thereafter. A week after I lost my job, my car engine locked up and I was unable to get it to start. In addition, I had little savings after helping my mother to move. I felt so hopeless.

I was born into a Christian family but had no interest or love for the Lord. At the age of ten, while studying overseas with my sister, I developed a passion for football. I wanted to pursue it as a profession and was determined to fulfill my dream as a football player.

In 2012, my husband and I were listening to Pastor Prince’s CD album, Unveiling Jesus, in our car on the way to work. In that CD, Pastor Prince had said that there was someone listening to his sermon who was believing the Lord for a baby.

I am 46 years old and had suffered from major depression throughout my entire life. It intensified in my late 30s.
