    What’s the true meaning of Easter healing?

    April 20, 2025 - By 

    Easter is a joyful celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It symbolizes hope, peace, and the power of forgiveness for all who believe. This devotional about Easter healing from Pastor Joseph Prince is a blessin to me. I hope it blesses you too.

    But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

    Isaiah 53:5

    One of the reasons we can rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus has borne the punishment that was due us: forgiveness and healing go hand in hand.

    The Bible says that He who never broke a single law of God “was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isa. 53:5).

    Do you see how healing and the price for our forgiveness are so closely intertwined in God’s Word?

    What does it mean to have Easter healing?

    Many today are struggling to heal themselves from their sicknesses, diseases, mental dysfunctions, and addictions. I want to announce to you today that our part is to receive forgiveness from Jesus. It includes to believe that God has forgiven us every single day. The more forgiveness-conscious we are, the more easily we will experience healing. That expands to our liberty from every bodily ailment, mental oppression, and destructive habit.

    One of my favorite psalms goes like this: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases” (Ps. 103:1–3).

    Now which comes first? The consciousness that all your sins are forgiven precedes the healing of all your diseases!

    And the operative word here is all. Some of us are comfortable with receiving partial forgiveness in certain areas of our lives. But we refuse to allow Jesus’ forgiveness to touch some dark areas. That is, areas that we can’t let go of and that we can’t forgive ourselves for. Whatever those mistakes may be, I encourage you to allow Jesus to forgive you of all your sins. Dare to receive healing for all your diseases.

    From Glory to Glory

    April 11, 2025 - By 

    But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    2 Corinthians 3:18

    I believe that Jesus is doing a great work in your life right now. Maybe you can’t see it because there’s something that you have done in your past that you just can’t seem to shake off, that seems like weights around your feet holding you down.

    Beloved, today is the day for your breakthrough. Learn to see what God sees by fixing your eyes on Jesus.

    You need to understand that what you see or how others see you is not as important as how God sees you. Many people think that God sees them in their sins and is just waiting to pounce on them to punish them. This wrong belief produces wrong living.

    If you see God this way, you can’t help but be in constant fear, insecurity, and anxiety over your past sins. Today, make a decision to turn your eyes to Jesus, for He has already made you, the believer, righteous with His blood!

    How to move from glory to glory

    In fact, the more you behold Jesus, the more you are transformed “from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18). Fixing your eyes on Jesus is the greatest holiness.

    Many think they have to do more in order to be more holy, accepted, and loved by God. The truth is, when you behold Jesus more and see His love, and His forgiveness. His abundant grace, and His gift of righteousness purchased for you with His own blood, you will be transformed supernaturally.

    Holiness is a by-product of seeing Jesus in His grace. When you see Jesus and receive His love and grace every day, your heart is transformed inwardly.

    Equally, this is not outward behavior modification. It is real change that is sustained by a heart touched by His grace. And by an emancipated conscience that is forever freed from guilt.

    This is when that addiction begins to drop from your life. This is when that fear begins to dissolve in His perfect love. And that condemnation arising from your past mistakes is cleansed by His precious blood.

    What a life! This is the life that God wants you to experience. Can you see it? Can you see what He sees?

  • The cross of Jesus Christ

    What Actually Happened at the Cross?

    March 30, 2025 - By 

    Have you been thinking like me, what was the benefit of Jesus dying on the cross? That is natural. This short devotional from Pastor Joseph Prince, outlines what that entire precious sacrifice means to us.

    For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

    2 Corinthians 5:21

    Once, the Lord showed me a vision of what happened at the cross. I saw how all the sins of the entire human race (lies, deceit, envy, bitterness, adultery, addiction, bondage, murder) and all the consequences of sin (fear, sicknesses, guilt, disease, and condemnation) swirled around Jesus like evil spirits and demons, laughing heinously, taunting and tormenting Him. Jesus became like a magnet for all sin and of His own volition accepted all this sin into His own body.

    You and I will never be able to imagine the excruciating pain that tore through His body at the cross. Every malignant cancer, every tumor, every sickness, and every disease came upon Him at the same time.

    He who knew no sin took upon Himself the mountainous weight of all men’s darkest and foulest sins. He took it all Himself.

    The Word says that “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses” (Matt. 8:17). “Himself”—a singular, reflexive pronoun that signifies the exclusion of you and me.

    Since He Himself has taken the full punishment, judgment, and condemnation for all sin, you and I are excluded from every punishment, judgment, and condemnation for all sin when we receive Him as our Savior.

    Here is the main reason why the cross is relevant

    But the story did not end there. Jesus did not die on the cross in the middle of receiving upon Himself all of humanity’s sins. He took it all and accepted it all in His body. Then the fire of God’s judgment was unleashed upon His own precious Son, and only when every last sin had been punished did Jesus cry out, “IT IS FINISHED!” moments before breathing His last breath (John 19:30).

    Can you see that? Jesus held on at the cross until every single sin that you have ever committed and will ever commit was punished in His own body. That is why we call what Jesus has accomplished at the cross a “finished work.”

    Now, what is your part today? Your part is to believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life and that all your sins have been paid for at the cross.

    If you believe that all your sins have been forgiven, sin will have no more power over you. You don’t have to walk around with “a mountain of sin” on your shoulders anymore. Thats because this “mountain of sin” was laid squarely on the shoulders of another—Jesus. He Himself has already paid the price for your sins, so stop condemning yourself!

  • The Transformative Power of Jesus’ Love (2)

    The Transformative Power of Jesus’ Love

    March 9, 2025 - By 

    Many people, including myself, understand that God’s love is transformative, but few truly grasp the extent of its power. This short devotional explores that depth through a practical example shared by Pastor Joseph Prince.

    The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”

    Jeremiah 31:3

    I heard a story of a minister from Oregon who was assigned to provide counseling in a state mental institution. His first assignment was to a padded cell that housed deranged, barely clothed patients. He couldn’t even talk to the inmates, let alone counsel them—the only responses he got were groans, moans, and demonic laughter.

    Then the Holy Spirit prompted him to sit in the middle of the room. And for a full hour just sing the famous children’s hymn that goes, “Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong.”

    Nothing happened at the end of that first day. But for weeks he persisted to sing the same melody with greater conviction each time: “Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.”

    What was transformative about Jesus’ love?

    As the days passed, the patients began singing with him one by one. Amazingly, by the end of the first month, thirty-six of the severely ill patients were transferred from the high-dependency ward to a self-care ward. Within a year, all but two were discharged from the mental institution.

    As one of the best-known and loved hymns of all time, this hymn’s ongoing popularity lies in its succinct elegance in unveiling Jesus’ heart. It beckons one to recognize that no matter what challenges, failures, and misdeeds one might be dealing with, the love of Jesus remains a constant.

    “Jesus loves me! This I know.”

    How so?

    “For the Bible tells me so.”

    So simple, yet so powerful.

    Whether you feel it or not, Jesus’ constant love for you rests in the truth and on the foundation of His unchanging Word. It proclaims that His love for you and me is based utterly and completely on Him—on His promises, His work, and His grace.

    Today, let healing and rest for your soul come as you allow your heart to be anchored on this truth.

     How to count on God even on your worst day 

    February 23, 2025 - By 

    Do you ever find yourself replaying past mistakes in your mind, wishing you had handled things differently? Here’s how you can count on God.


    I should have been kinder with my words…
    I keep falling short as a spouse, parent, or friend…
    Why am I still struggling with the same issues?

    It’s easy to think that if we just try harder, we’ll eventually overcome these struggles—that with enough effort, we’ll become more patient, more kind, or more loving.

    What if real, lasting change doesn’t come with trying harder… but with remembering one very powerful truth? 

    Look at what 2 Peter 1:5–9 tells us:

    “But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love…. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.”

    Did you catch that? When we forget we’ve been cleansed of our past sins, we become shortsighted. Thats is we are fixated on our own efforts and constantly aware of our weaknesses and shortcomings—and will lack all the good traits we want.

    But when we remember this truth—that our Lord Jesus bore our sins at the cross and rose again victorious, a declaration that we are completely forgiven in Him (Rom. 4:25)—we will begin to walk in the very qualities we long to see in our lives! 

    In other words, true and lasting transformation doesn’t come from striving, it comes from counting on our forgiveness in Christ.

    What should you do to count on God?

    So friend, the next time you find yourself dwelling on a mistake and trying to fix things on your own, take a moment to pause and remember: you have been completely forgiven! 

     When you do so, you’ll no longer rely on your own efforts to overcome your sins or mistakes. But on God’s grace to transform your thoughts, words, and actions from the inside out.

    The more you rest in this truth, the more you’ll experience His love, knowing how completely He has forgiven you. And as His love fills your heart, you’ll find yourself extending grace, forgiving freely, and loving others—because He first loved you. 

    To uncover more about this powerful truth, tune in to Pastor Prince’s latest sermon, Count On Your Forgiveness. Where he shares more about the importance of understanding our complete forgiveness in Christ! The full Gospel Partner episode will be released for free on March 6, 2025. In the meantime, you can simply sign up for a Gospel Partner subscription. You can purchase the sermon there.

  • Jesus, Your City of Refuge

    Jesus, Your City of Refuge

    February 9, 2025 - By 

    God wants us to not just be safe, but to approach him at any time regardless of our numerous mistakes. Did you we have his protection. Your City of Refuge is a blessing from God to us.

    Read how Pastor Joseph Prince elaborates on this old testatment practice and see how it relates with us now.

    Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

    Luke 23:34 KJV

    There is a teaching on the cities of refuge from the Old Testament that I believe will encourage you to take the Lord as your refuge and protector and run to Him.

    The Lord told Joshua that when the children of Israel entered the land of Canaan, they were to designate six cities of refuge. Back in those days, if someone unintentionally killed a person, the closest relative of the deceased had the legal right to avenge him.

    However, in His mercy, God appointed six cities and said, “Anyone who kills another person accidentally and unintentionally can run to one of these cities; they will be places of refuge from relatives seeking revenge for the person who was killed” (Josh. 20:3 NLT).

    The cities of refuge were designed for people who had committed unintentional manslaughter, not for those who had carried out premeditated homicide. Deuteronomy 19 explains this, stating: “If someone kills another person unintentionally, without previous hostility . . . the slayer may flee to one of the cities of refuge to live in safety” (vv. 4–5 NLT).

    The six cities of refuge are also a beautiful picture of our Lord Jesus, hidden for us to unveil. They are shadows that point to the substance—our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, He is concealed. In the New Testament, He is revealed.

    How is Jesus, Your City of Refuge

    At the cross, our Lord Jesus put all our sins, including the sin of crucifying Him, under the category of “unintentional” when He prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34 KJV).

    He was not just referring to Israel or the Romans; all our sins nailed Jesus to the cross. He chose the nails and offered us complete forgiveness. Can you see how good and merciful our God is?

    Today, if you call upon the name of Jesus, you are qualified to run to Him and take Him as your city of refuge. Jesus is your city of refuge, and when you run to Him for refuge, the one seeking revenge (a picture of the devil) no longer has power over you.

    My friend, we were all sinners and the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23). Before the cross, the devil had the legal right to put a death sentence over your head. That was because of your sins. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus took that death sentence at the cross. Also, in Christ we can receive His forgiveness and His protection. Hallelujah!

    Do you see yourself as one of those sinners or those saved?

    February 2, 2025 - By 

    But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

    Romans 5:8–9

    God is a God of forgiveness. He knows you perfectly and still loves you perfectly. We are slaves to the idea that if someone sees our flaws, they won’t love us anymore. Well, while that may be true in human relationships, God is not like that.

    God sees all our imperfections, failings, and flaws on Jesus at the cross. Our sins and ugliness do not turn Him off. In fact, to Him they are occasions to demonstrate His grace and forgiveness through the blood of His Son, who has removed all our sins efficaciously at Calvary.

    So don’t be embarrassed about your flaws, mistakes, and imperfections. God knows your weaknesses better than you do, and He loves you just the same.

    His Word reminds us that Jesus is not someone “who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.” Instead, Jesus was tempted in all points, yet He was without sin (Heb. 4:15).

    He understands every temptation and every trial that you are going through. He is not disappointed with you, and He is not waiting for you to live up to a set of dos and don’ts before He forgives and loves you.

    Here’s why you should believe you’re not one of those sinners

    The Bible says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Rom. 5:8–9).

    Did you get that? When did God love you?

    That’s right, when you were still a sinner. Before you even knew Him, when you were still in sin, He already loved you. How much more today, when you have been cleansed by Jesus’ blood and made righteous!

    Having received Jesus’ righteousness, you are righteous forever. Even when you fall into sin, your sins don’t make you a sinner again.

    When you fall short today, you are still the righteousness of God. This is because your righteousness comes from Jesus.

    In the same way that a beautiful butterfly cannot morph back into a caterpillar, once you have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus, you cannot morph back into a sinner. Knowing your righteous identity in Him then gives you the power to overcome every sin, every addiction, and every bad habit!

    Do you know you are alive because of God?

    January 19, 2025 - By 

    For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.

    1 Peter 3:18

    Can I show you a beautiful picture of God’s love for you found in the story of Daniel? In Daniel’s case, the law of the land was violated and, in spite of his love for Daniel, the king had to carry out the law and punish Daniel. If he hadn’t, he would have been an unrighteous king.

    Now, imagine if someone came again a year later to accuse Daniel of this crime and asked for Daniel to be punished again, what would the king do? Would the king throw Daniel into the lions’ den again? No! Daniel had already been sentenced; he had already paid the price for his violation of the law.

    My dear friend, because our Lord Jesus has been punished on the cross in your place, the devil cannot come to the King and ask for you to be punished and thrown into the lions’ den. You see, your sins were forgiven not because the King simply decided to close an eye and let you off the hook. The King forgave your sins righteously after judging them in the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Only God can keep us alive

    He who was completely without sin took your place and bore the full weight of the punishment for your sins (2 Cor. 5:21). ALL your sins have been legally and judicially judged at the cross. Because of His finished work, once you received the Lord Jesus into your heart, God’s justice and righteousness are on your side!

    Do you know how much God loves Jesus, His beloved Son and the apple of His eye? Then I pray that you will have a revelation of how much your Father in heaven loves YOU.

    To redeem you, God paid the price with the blood of His only Son. It must have been a most difficult decision for Him. None of us would ever fully comprehend what God experienced in sending His own beloved Son to the cross.

    We catch just a small glimpse of the torment that God suffered when we read about King Darius’s suffering. King Darius wanted to save Daniel, but he could not violate his own law.

    Similarly, God loves His Son, but He knew the only way to save us, who had violated the law, was to sacrifice His own Son, Jesus Christ. We are alive because of him. May this revelation of His amazing love and grace give you boldness to come freely to Him and find protection under His wings.

    Do you know you are a successful person?

    January 5, 2025 - By 

    This success is not the kind you might be thinking about. Before you proceed to read the kind of success I am referring to, just know that, God sees you as a successful person already if you believe in him.

    Here’s a short devotional by Pastor Joseph Prince about it.

    Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

    Genesis 39:1–2

    Would you consider the young man Joseph, who was about to be sold into slavery, “a successful man”?

    Of course not!

    Yet, God says in His own words that Joseph was a successful man.

    God’s definition of success is contrary to the world’s definition. Corporate America measures success based on what you have done, what you have accomplished, and what you have accumulated. It is based entirely on you focusing all your time, energy, and resources in meriting titles and collecting accomplishments.

    My friend, I want to encourage you to begin to see that the world’s model of success is unstable and built upon a foundation that is shakable. It may have the appearance of the good life, but it is temporal, and we have all seen for ourselves how the world’s transient wealth can dissipate like smoke and easily slip away like the shifting sands in the desert.

    From Genesis 39:2, it is clear that success is not what you have, but rather who you have! Joseph literally had nothing materially, but at the same time, he had everything because the Lord was with him.

    The material things that you have accumulated or are feverishly trying to amass do not make you a success. It is the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you a success!

    We need to learn to stop pursuing things and to start pursuing Him. God sees your relationship with Him as the only thing that you need for every success in your life.

    I can’t imagine starting in a worse place than Joseph. He was completely naked. He had nothing! No bank accounts, no educational qualifications, no natural connections with people of influence, nothing.

    Thank God the Bible records a picture of Joseph who began with nothing, so that you and I can have hope today. If you think that like Joseph, you have nothing, well, you can start believing in the power of the presence of the Lord in your life. Start looking to Jesus and claim that promise in that scripture for yourself!

    Say, “The Lord is with ME, and I am a successful person.”

    Say it a hundred times if you have to, and begin to see this as your reality. Stick this promise on your mirror, and every morning when you brush your teeth, remind yourself that today, as you go to work, as you go to school, as you start the day caring for your children at home (or do whatever it is that you need to do), the Lord is with you.

    And because He is with you, YOU ARE ALREADY A SUCCESS! When you have Jesus in your life, you are no longer trying to be a success; you ARE a success!

    Walk in Wisdom to Stay Safe

    Get wisdom! Get understanding! . . . Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

    Proverbs 4:5, 7

    It gives me such assurance to know that the Lord can deliver us from trouble. But do you know what’s better than being delivered from trouble?

    Not getting into trouble in the first place.

    My dear reader, don’t just seek miracles and protection from God without seeking the wisdom from Him to stay protected and out of trouble. There are times when the challenges that we face are beyond our control. But I’ve found that often, we experience His protection when we follow the Holy Spirit and lean on His wisdom when making decisions.

    Every day, we need His wisdom, just as we need His protection. After all, Proverbs 4:7 tells us that “wisdom is the principal thing,” and in all our getting, we need to get wisdom.

    The Bible tells us that Christ has become for us wisdom from God (1 Cor. 1:30). So what we really need is the Lord Jesus. We need to lean on Him and draw close to Him daily.

    He is our wisdom and only He can cause us to always be at the right place at the right time. I believe that many troubles and dangerous situations can be completely avoided when we don’t depend on our own wisdom and planning, but involve the Lord in all that we do (Prov. 3:6).

    How do you feel safe?

    Oftentimes, wisdom and divine protection work hand in hand. Knowing that we can trust God for His protection certainly does not mean that we should willfully put ourselves in precarious situations.

    We need to apply wisdom and heed the Lord’s leading through the wise counsel of the people around us, such as our leaders in the local church and our spouses. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” For instance, if your spouse has been telling you that you have a problem with speeding, please take heed.

    While there can be divine protection, do not be foolish and think that you can do whatever you want and nothing untoward will ever happen to you. I pray that as you involve the Lord and learn to walk in wisdom, you’ll begin to walk in a greater measure of peace, protection, and good success.
