…but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13–14
Despite having repented and getting saved, Apostle Paul could have dwelled on his serious past mistake of persecuting the early church. He could have chosen to live a life of regret and thus fail to fulfill God’s call on his life. But he didn’t. Instead, he chose to forget the past, “reaching forward to those things which are ahead.”
My friend, don’t live in the past.
Whether it’s a failed marriage, a huge mistake you made, or a hurtful remark from someone, leave them all in the past and move forward. By all means, learn from your mistake. But look to Christ as your success, wisdom, comfort and strength, and see Him do a new thing in your life by His unmerited favor.
See Him giving you stronger and blessed relationships through His wisdom and grace. See Him giving you a better job with better benefits. See Him restoring your health sevenfold. Consider not “the things of old,” but consider or meditate on His better promises (Hebrews 8:6). That’s how you move forward into His good success!

Pastor Prince pray for me concerning a legal matter that God shows me favor
Very powerful word!
Estoy maravillada pastor Prince de la enseñanza de la gracia….Recién comenzé a perder el temor al:castigo, acusaciones, culpas, aún me falta el temor que desde niña me ataca. Fuí hija no deseada y casi me abortan , sufrí maltrato brutal física y verbalmente – Aún soy una mujer adulta y vivo con mis padres, porque tengo una enfermedad autoinmune y algo en el corazón -Necesito que el Señor me ayude mucho a ser libre, porque quiero contarles mi testimonio y también vivir como una hija de Dios, tal como usted enseña pastor: No debemos ser cola ,sino cabeza !!!! Gracias a Dios por conocerlo a usted y la gracia .Dios lo bendiga !!!
I’ve noticed that trying to diversify in my spiritual feeding is the biggest mistake.
Pastor Prince’s messages are always spot on where and when I need it.
Im a preacher in Puerto Rico, a very legalistic country, and his grace capsules are my oxygen in such a suffocating environment.
God bless you brother Joseph, Im looking forward to give you a huge hug someday.

Glory to God.Iam learning to let go off what did not work in the past and reaching to what is a head of me in Christ Jesus.
I used to live with a lot of guilt and condemnation over past mistakes and sins, to the point that I have totally isolated myself from Christians even though I am a very devoted Christian lady. As I read this and your books, I become more and more set free and healed in my mind and emotions. Thank you for your messages of Grace. Still changing and transforming my thinking and life.
Lord I pray for the turnaround of my marriage,restore what the devil has stolen from our marriage let your will be done
