Grace Revolution: Experience the Power to Live Above Defeat
over and over again.
    I eventually found Joseph Prince Ministries and a friend gave me some of Pastor Prince’s teaching materials. I was amazed at what I was hearing and reading, because I had never heard the gospel preached in this manner. I knew it was truth and it began to set me free. I heard Pastor Prince preacha sermon where he said that the solution was to quit trying to win on my own and to confess to the Lord, “Lord, I cannot, but You can.”
    This became my motto and I quit trying to quit using tobacco. I no longer stayed buried under guilt and condemnation. I believed and confessed that even though I was struggling with this tobacco habit, God still loves me no less and that Jesus’ finished work still avails for me. I can now testify that I have been tobacco-free for more than a year. Every time an urge pops up, I say to the Lord that I know His grace and what He has for me are much better than tobacco, and the urge leaves.
    Praise God! This message of unmerited favor has changed my life and ministry. I am now preaching and teaching grace every time I step onto the pulpit!
    Thanks be to God and thank you, Pastor Prince.
    Robert, thank you for sharing your story and encouraging so many who are searching for the key to lasting victory!

Embark on an Upward Cycle of Lasting Victory
    My dear reader, no matter how long you may have struggled with a bad habit, I want you to know it is never too late to invite our Lord Jesus and His grace into your situation. It is never too late to return to His grace, the only power that can give you permanent inside-out transformation.
    Perhaps you too have been trying to quit whatever has you in bondage but still find yourself unable to truly break free. I want you to payattention to how Robert found freedom and the power to stay on an
upward cycle of victory
. Notice how Robert said that in his desire to quit his addiction, he had “fought and fought” only to have to “quit and quit, over and over again.” Despite publicly committing to “cast off” his addiction before his congregation, he was back at it within a week. Robert, like many sincere believers, had gone down the “feel remorse and repent” route numerous times and still not found the victory he needed.
    But real change for Robert happened when he discovered the truth of God’s grace, what the Lord Jesus has done for him on the cross, and how God still loves him and would help him despite his failings. And as he began to
focus
on these truths and
return
to these truths of God’s grace every time he felt an urge to return to his habit, he began to experience victory over his addiction.
    This is what believing right—true repentance—did for Robert. It didn’t give him an excuse to continue in his sin or take sin lightly. No, it made him an overcomer. It made him a testimony of God’s amazing grace at work in the life of someone who chose to depend on that grace. Notice that the right living Robert wanted to experience became a reality not when he was trying to make it happen on his own, but when he discovered and then kept returning to grace whenever he was weak. This, dear reader, is the key to overcoming sin and every bondage in your life.
    Today, if you’ve been trying to quit a habit, I encourage you to return to the truth of God’s grace—that what our Lord Jesus has done for you at the cross is so much greater than all your failings. That because of His perfect, finished work, you are still deeply loved, highly favored, and greatly blessed. When you let such a revelation of God’s grace wash over your heart again and again, you can’t help but deeply appreciate what the Lord has done for you and how His gracehas set you apart to shine for His glory. You won’t want to continue in sin. Instead you will find every sinful urge gradually leave until they all leave for good. You will embark on an upward cycle of lasting transformation!
