If you would like to share your testimony with us, please do it below.
Please try to keep it short if possible. We would very much like to hear about 2 types of testimonies:
1) Testimonies of supernatural events, miracles or encounters you have had with God. These testimonies will serve the purpose of proving to an unbelieving world that God lives and does miracles even today! A testimony also carries within it the power to be reproduced, so others reading your testimony will be encouraged to step out and walk on the water too!
2) If you have been blessed by some of our weekly Grace Messages, please feel free to write a short testimony here as this will serve the purpose of proving to the legalists that there are people out there that are passionate about GRACE!
(Please don’t use this page to start new discussions or ask questions about a specific Grace Message on our website – this can be done underneath the relevant message – such messages will be deleted from this page).
Leslie says:
Mine and my husband’s journey in “Grace” began a year and a half ago when we were exposed to a book by Clark Whitten, “Pure Grace” It is the same message as Andre’s “Grace the Forbidden Gospel.” We read that book as did others in the life group we were a part of. Those in the group that had not read the book, were appalled at it’s teaching. Soon after, the book began to make the rounds in the church, Clark came and preached the same message at our church — some more people were able to “get it.”
My husband, Brent, and I were so freed up by “grace” that we began our own life group teaching “Pure Grace!” Then another pastor in our church happened upon Andre’s book “Grace the Forbidden Gospel” and shared it with us! WOW! WOW! WOW! My husband and I grew up in a “bible-believing” denomination and we eventually attended a seminary affiliated with the same denomination. Brent received a Master’s degree in “Divinity.” We pastored several churches for 15 years.
Brent has said, since reading “Grace the Forbidden Gospel,” that all the Bible knowledge he had before suddenly makes sense – jives. There were so many “contrary” thoughts that now “sync.” In a couple of months, he may have opportunity to bring the “grace” message to a “traditional” church in the same denomination which we were once a part. Please pray that hearts will be fertile to this message.
Also, in the fall, we will be changing our life group “format” to lend itself more to the “organic chuch.” We will be researching what that “looks like” exactly in the next few months!
Oh! And by the way, since appropriating grace into our lives and abandoning our “works,” we have seen grace abound! We receive grace and so are able to give it more. The burden and stress are relieved. It’s as if God was saying, “I am a blessing God no matter what, but as long as you are working for them, they are limited.” Now we are experiencing “limitless” grace. For instance: 1) a $66,000 hospital debt (we had no insurance) was forgiven totally. We had been told to expect MAYBE 60% of it to be paid by charity. After several months of waiting on a bill, we finally called for a total and to make arrangements for payment and were told we had a ZERO balance! 2) Our federal income tax this year was decreased by 60% this year without any significant decrease in income or increase in deductions! We call it GRACE!!!!

Bro, I love you… You are one of my inspirations.
, so thank you thank you thank you 
Almost a year & a half back, I read your article on how the Apostle Paul worked and ministered and did not always depend on others..
At that time I was not working as I wanted to share the word of His Grace. But the article you shared made me realize I can work and also minister. I prayed for a job and got one near my house. Though am not ministering the word as I thought I would right now, my vision has enlarged by His Grace Not only in sharing the word but also in businesses.
I Forgot to say a huge thanks to you
Many of your other articles have also been so helpful, I got to understand the Gospel, i.e Grace through Joseph Prince and Andrew Wommack’s teachings and your teachings/ insights/ revelations help me in getting rid of many confusions on many things…
Thanks a ton bro
You are awesome Mr. Blessing…
Thank You My Lord Jesus!!!

Before,i was a type of leader who always expects righteousness to all my members in our youth group.And if they did not do this or do that they will always receive a rebuke or some sort of suspension of service in the Church.But when I read Andre’s book and heard Pst. Joseph Prince speak about grace, everything has changed. Grace sets people free. Grace has no condemnation. Grace is acceptance because Grace is Jesus Christ. This is the truth about the Gospel-It’s not what I’ve done for Him but what He has done for me. Grace to us!
Tobias Skradde says:
Since I am growing in the grace message, I often feel like an alien.
I do not attend a legalistic church but the more you grow in grace and discover your gift of righteousness you get a different perspective on things.
I just want to encourage others who are on this journey to stay in love and even if your
church does not preach that grace lifestyle just build a culture of grace in your own life and people will be affected. Be patient with others who are still under law and on the “earning my stand before god”-trip, you were, too and he changed the path.Glory!
Today I thought about my own biography and was shocked how often I used my own efforts
to glory in and thinking it was the presence god – this my sound weird but to some degree this is true, like the fading glory of Moses which had glory but it faded.
I understood I was saved but I did not understand the gift of righteousness imparted to me. And sometimes this thoughts come up “is it really that simple or am I deceived?”
Even if you force me, beat me, slander about me I can not go back! I can never change back my mind to the old standard of law/grace confusion and condemnation stuff.
Finally I understand Paul more and more and wha he had this passion for Jesus and the gospel of grace.
Kimberly says:
Hello!
Read your post and am so excited to see other believers walking this out.
We have gone from:
The bondage of tithing to the freedom of giving
The bondage of legalism to the freedom of grace
The bondage of hierarchy to the freedom of Spirit-led leadership
and the list goes on.
When we first woke up to this understanding, it wasn’t easy and many labeled us traitors and back stabbers. Yet, we could no longer sit in church and by sitting be signaling that we agreed.
The sons of God are awakening and I and my little family-connected to my bigger family are manifesting the works of Christ!
Our site is http://www.gonowchurch.org
We have tried to build a strong links page so that any believers that are needing to connect will find places that speak the truth and live it. We’d love to add your site as well.
Thanks so much..
a reformed pastor, Kimberly

After finding out she is pregnant with our 2nd baby (wooohoooo!) Nats went for her first check-up this past Monday. The doctor told her that he could unfortunately not find a heartbeat.
He drew some blood to do tests and asked her to come back on Wednesday to take more blood. He could then establish if a certain hormone or something in the blood had multiplied satisfactorily within those 2 days.
This morning (Thursday) he called her to come and see him about the results. He said that he had spoken to his older colleague who told him that the blood results show insufficient growth and that Nats had just had another miscarriage. He would do another scan however to confirm the blood test results…
Last night (Wednesday) however, after Nats had fallen asleep during a movie, I carried her to bed and laid down next to her. Suddenly I heard clearly within my spirit the fast boom-boom-boom-boom of a baby’s heartbeat. I immediately put my hand on her tummy and commanded life into her womb!
Anyways, this morning the doctor nearly fell on his back when he put that scanner on Nats’ tummy and heard the healthy, rhythmic beating of our baby’s heart coming through the machine.
The doctor’s first prognosis didn’t find us very well, since Nats had a miscarriage 3 months ago, with exactly the same symptoms.
I knew Satan was back to try and steal from us again, but he forgot who lives inside us…
Thank you Jesus.
We serve a God of miracles!!!
Harold says:
Thanks Keisha. I’ll check out New Day.
I’ve been going to many different churches for years and found they all say that Christians “sin” in their behaviour. This then brings many of them into comdemnation in that they then think that if they “sin” in their behaviour (often referred to as “habitual sin”) once to often they lose their salvation.
Hebrews 10:26 is a good example. This verse refers to the sin of unbelief in Jesus but most in churches think it refers to sin in behaviour which then leads them to think that you can lose you salvation by doing too many bad things. This type of error thinking is basically works and not grace.
It’s good to find other Christians who truely understand what Jesus did on the cross and live under God’s grace.
Keisha says:
Hi Andre,
First I wanted to say to Harold, that New Day Ministries in Brisbane preaches the grace message, here is there website: http://www.newday.com.au
My church in Adelaide http://www.mvbc.com.au/ teaches it too.
Secondly I have grown up believing I was a failure so when I came to Christ and (before I came to MVBC and found this site)I found it very difficult to live under law! And wanted to quit being a Christian. I have found freedom and joy in reading these articles. It is easier to live with myself knowing that He has done it all! It is easier to follow Him knowing he doesn’t condemn me and isn’t angry with me. I am encouraged and my faith is strengthened. I only wish every one read them, and believed what the bible says.
Harold says:
Hi Andre,
I’m in Brisbane which is very far from the Sydney and Perth fellowships you mentioned.
Thanks for their web sites though. I had no idea there were churches in Australia that understood Christians cannot sin. I had always wondered if my friends and I were the only ones.
I’ll check out those web sites you gave.
Thanks,
Harold
Andre van der Merwe says:
Hi Harold
Thank for your comment! Whereabouts in Australia are you located?
In Perth you can go to http://www.freedomlife.org.au/
In Sydney you can go to http://www.jubilee.org.au/
These churches relate directly with Rob Rufus from Hong Kong – one of the pioneers of the Grace message.
In Grace
Andre
Harold says:
Here in Australia we don’t have churches such as yours. I visit various churches here and they all teach aspects of the law, claiming that Christians sin, tithing, etc.
Apart from a few of my friends it seemed like the great majority of professing Christians were at odds with us.
It’s good to find others who also understand that we are under God’s grace.
Fred Berry says:
Andre, regardless of what is going on around you,no matter what others are trying to involve you with, stay the course my Brother. Gods hand is upon You at just the right time in His Big plan. Some times we get so caught up in our work it seems simple to us, we tend think everyone understands what we understand , the way we understand it , but they don’t . Our Father has anointed You for this time with His message of Grace. Jesus is setting people free who have been miserable for years trying to be something Christ never intended us to be. I’m afraid some have probably given up . I was so worn out , beat up I didn’t know what to do . Our Saviour has delivered me and used You an available vessel to do it. Stay at the feet of Jesus and do not be distracted as I’m sure the evil one will try to do. I have not posted a testimony as of yet and I apologize, if you would like to post this in anyway You want please feel free to do so.
God Bless,
Fred T. Berry
Roger Stark says:
Thank you for your website, I have been searching for a community of Grace believers since 1995. I have finally found one in this website. We birthed Grace Ministries International of Jacksonville in 1999, we also have a church called Grace Church of Avondale, our website is http://www.gcajax.com. We are reaching multitudes with the Gospel of Grace. Your blogs, articles and websites have become a major asset in my ministry. The theology of grace must be proclaimed, if anyone is interested in beginning a School of Grace Training/Theology, please contact me at 1-904-387-0418 ex 102. May the grace of God be proclaimed throughout the earth.

Darla’s Dream of 11/11
Sometime within the last week of October, Darla had a dream and heard in the dream “Eleven Eleven.” She asked me, her husband, “What does eleven mean?” I said, “Eleven means revelation and since you heard eleven twice, I believe God is going to give to you covenant revelation, as covenant is whenever God calls a name or Jesus said Verily verily.” Today, 11/7/09, I told my wife as I was very discouraged at the spirit of deception and postponement concerning dangling something in front of us without the intent of doing what they say, that stemming from my family and erroneous demands they place on me, I told my wife this morning, “Get on the internet and do not come off of it until you find us some land, and do not bother talking to me about looking at any, find it, come back with the land in the form of substance.” In less than 30 minutes, she found 17 acres; made the phone call and we were granted the 17 acres as we sign the contract on or before the 23 of this month. Several hours later, after we looked at all of the elements surrounding the property, such as mileage from the store, employment etc. she said, “What I just found on the road 1111, the road we take to our property….” And we just looked at each other realizing, the road we take from town to our new property is 1111, that is, eleven eleven. Hallelujah Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The revelation I just received about Romans 5: 20, “Where sin (missing the mark) abounds, grace (Jesus perfect obedience for me) much more abounds.” The revelation is this: Where I missed the mark, where my sin abounded, such as I did this morning in my attitude and mouth towards my biological family, Gods Grace, Jesus Christ took all of my arrows that missed the bulls eye, and put them inside the bulls eye, just as if I never missed the bulls eye and that Grace was manifested in the form of our fulfillment of 1111, that is, eleven eleven. Do we deserve the 17 acres with no credit check? No! However, Jesus Christ hit the mark for us so completely, that even when we miss the mark, Gods Grace, Jesus Christ imputes to us, righteousness, the bulls eye of Jesus perfection and we continue to walk with God ‘just-as-if-I’ justified, just as if I had never sinned! “Where” is the very place we miss the mark and that is “where” Gods Grace abounds to us! Thank you Jesus, thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! This all reminds me of Lot choosing the best land for Himself as Abraham went forward under the blessing without being manipulated and captivated by empty promises. Just for the record, I currently have manifestly no job and no vehicle, yet we now will possess 17 acres of land! If God can give us land, He will get us onto it! Love you all, Richard Gamel
Leonora says:
Dear Andre,
This morning I preached about the grace I have learned from your website. Oh what a wonderful feeling to be able to help people to know God as the God of grace. I preached the word to 200 employees of a mall here in our city. Oh how blessed they are… I prayed for each of them declaring God’s blessing upon their lives. I continue to thank God for the revelation that I received from your writing. Praise God! Glory to God! I am praying that my husband and I would be able to meet you one day. What a blessed day when I got hold this revelation. I felt like a long time prisoner that was given a pardon. We have been doing ministry for many years but all this time nothing happens. But when I read your article a great light dawned on me. I have realized we have been living under curse. For the first time that I experience the reality of God’s loving presence. I continue to thank God for you both. It is indeed a ministry of life! Glory to God. Thank you so much. God bless you!
Leonora
Leonora says:
Dear Andre & Natalie,
When I came across your write ups about grace Andre a great light and hope dawned on me. What you have shared is something marvelous to me because I feel we are still in bondage to the old law. With the new church we are starting we want it to be in the perfect will of God. I absolutely agree with what you are sharing. I praise and thank God for leading me to your website. I have been struggling in this area for quite sometime but I glorify the Lord for His wonderful grace. I thank God for you and Natalie’s ministry. You are abundantly blessed. This is one thing I want to see happen in our lives because we are living in poverty for a long time. But with this revelation I am already enjoying God’s abundant blessing. Thanks be to God Almighty and to you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Leonora

Married by Angus Buchan – my story.
(This email was sent out to my friends and family the day after the wedding on June 14, 2009 in London)
For the last two months my girlfriend, the love of my life, have been sharing a room and a bed here in London. I told myself that I loved her and that it’s convenient for us to share. Though deep inside my heart I knew that what I was doing wasn’t right in God’s eyes. It’s so easy for people nowadays to justify why they are doing things even if it is against God’ will. Have good principles gone out the window?
In Feb this year heard that Angus Buchan was on his way to the UK and I knew I had to go and listen his message. And man can I tell you what trouble I caused for myself in my relationship with Kristina! But was a story for another day. I need to tell you at this point that Kristina and I have grown tremendously in our faith and it has brought us truly together. We are part of an amazing church and a wonderful home cell. We became really close to God!
So off I went to the camp at Worcester. Man, was it amazing. He spoke so plain and simple about things that are so important – Love, peace, family, believing in God. It was like the Lord spoke through him directly to me – to my heart. Then he asked a question about couples today – why do couples live together if they aren’t married?
He said if you love her marry her and if not leave her. Plain and simple! And then on the Sunday he called up couples to the stage and he married them right there and then.
By this time the burden on my heart was so heavy. I couldn’t go on without making things right in the eyes of the Lord. So now I had a plan but no idea how I was going to execute it. I got a train back to London – didn’t even shower or anything and I can tell you that I didn’t smell like a fresh daisy either – to join my love for one last session with Oom Angus. Afterwards I told her that I would like her to walk with me to him to say thank you for the weekend. He was being overwhelmed by people that wanted to talk to him. As his people were pulling him out I stopped them and asked to give me just a second with him. He said its right. I introduced him to my angel and I told him that was at the conference during the weekend and that God spoke in my heart. And told him that I wanted to marry! He asked me if I wanted to do it right there and then? And I said yes! I went down onto my knees and asked for her hand in marriage. She said yes! By now both of us were in tears! I was crying like a baby!
So his helpers said that we can do it in the back. He said no and that we need to do it there on the platform in front of the church! So we waded through the people. He stopped everybody right there in their tracks and turned all the attention on us. Man, but were we crying! People stopped with what they were busy with. You must understand that the church was still almost full – the people didn’t just wanted to leave when he finished preaching. Then more people came into the church. It was amazing! He married us right there in the sight of God Almighty! We were given rings as gifts. To keep! No jokes! We wrote down our promises to each other right there and then – until we make it 100% legal and do all the proper paperwork.
Then suddenly 3 more couples came to the front! And then 2 more! It was amazing.
So many people came to congratulate us. We felt so blessed by God. We were!
I am sorry that our families couldn’t have been there. But they love us and they will bless us. In the end it just comes down to us and the Lord! And for the first time in my life I feel that all my shackles have been removed and I can truly start living my life and my faith!
God bless you!

Just a few weeks ago, I was going to bed and usually I go to bed meditating on scripture. I was going to sleep meditating on Romans 8: 4. In my sleep and as I woke up to roll over in the night, I kept hearing clearly, “The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in you.” When I got up the next morning, that was naturallt on my mind and I heard in my spirit clearly, “Your new nature is the perfection the law demanded, you are perfect, you are perfectly righteous.” In closing, readers listen, the Holy Spirit witnesses to the truth, therefore if we are to afraid of knowing the truth, the Holy Spirit will have nothing to ‘witness to’ for He will not witness to deception, in Christ, our born again spirit is perfectly, equal to in proportion to Jesus’ very own righteousness!
Michael D says:
And the truth shall set you free! Andre, what a great website you have and what an awesome and powerful message- UNDILUTED GRACE! Unconcsiously, before I was saved by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, I was trying to be holy and like much of what Andre writes suggests, was in bondage with sin even though every part of me wanted to do good.
Now, through the GOOD NEWS I am liberated from law and the Holy Spirit is alive and well inside of me. I yearn to hear more on this message and experience the signs and wonders/manifestations of God in my life and in my brothers and sisters around me. What a mighty God he is! I don’t do good works because I have to, rather because I want to, to glorify our God and bring others to salvation.
Thanks Andre,
Michael
Cornel Marais says:
I can’t really begin to explain the insights, revelations and freedom I have received through Andre’s weekly teachings on grace. These teachings have helped to set me free of so many powerless traditions and mindsets which religion placed on me illegally. You can never hear these messages enough! You can never be as free as you are in Christ! If you are searching to establish yourself in the free gift of righteousness we receive through faith in Jesus, this is where I would start.
Thank you Andre! Fight the good fight!
Cornel
