Praise Report: Delivered from 58 Years of Depression and Suicidal Thoughts

I am seventy years old and have been a Christian since I was eighteen. Since I was twelve years old, I had been suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, thinking I would be better off dead. It was a raging battle.

I was diagnosed as bipolar. I have had therapy and medications for years, but nothing helped. I would be better and able to stop taking medication even for long periods of time, only for it to all come back with a vengeance. Finally, I quit taking all the drugs and figured I had to live with it or die.

Pastor Prince, I came across Grace Revolution Church (GRC) on your website some time ago and became a member. I have watched your programs on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), YouTube, am a gospel partner, and have read several of your books. I love your ministry and have been partaking of the Communion faithfully since I got out of the hospital last March.

Back then, I had a respiratory problem and ended up on a ventilator in a hospital’s progressive care unit. It was then that I watched you on TBN again. This was when I really began learning about the gospel of grace!

One night, I was watching a service on GRC Online and was blessed from the minute the worship started. I felt Jesus ministering to me throughout the entire message and did not want it to end! At the very end, you gave a word about someone fighting depression and suicidal thoughts. You prayed, and the Lord broke the spirit of depression. I knew it was for me. I just was only able to let out a cry. It was gone!

After that, you spoke about being loved, really loved. Again, you nailed it! That was the first time in my life I knew I was loved. I have sometimes felt loved, or people would say the words “I love you,” but they had no meaning for me. Now, I know I am loved! I know I am delivered! What an awesome God we serve!

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for loving Jesus so much and teaching and preaching about Him. Thank you for your ministry and for GRC.
