Your Faith Stories

“Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.”
Psalm 94:12  (HCSB)

My "story" is not about how Living Truth Ministries have assisted me in life. I do--and have--commended Charles Price as a reliable preacher of the word to other Christians though. I always tell them that Charles Price keeps himself out of the way of the word. It's a tribute to Charles' fidelity to God and Christ that a cult of personality has not been allowed to build up around him. May it continue to be so. :) What I wanted to share is the truth that my life has been a joy, because of God and Jesus. If someone looked at the circumstances of my life and even the events of my life, they'd expect I'd be miserable. Not so. Knowing Jesus since I was 5 or 6 years old has allowed me to access a joy, a happiness, and a resiliency that comes from having the clear eye that Jesus gives us. This plus knowing God in spirit is probably the most pleasurable experience possible. I am grateful to God and to Jesus for my joy, for my peace, for my clarity of mind, for my personal courage, for my resiliency, and for so much more than this small web space probably allows me to say here. God bless all. Fear nothing but losing relationship with God. Merry Christmas!

Hi, today I was able to see your program for the first time, and I’m really impacted by the simplicity and veracity with which the Word of God is exposed. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the truth of God in the simple way that God wants it to be imparted to all who are to be saved. I thank God for your ministry, and it’s my prayer that in these times in which the Gospel and healthy doctrine has been corrupted, there are still organizations that are doing the work that God sent them to do, keeping in mind that after this short life we’ll have to give God an account as to what we’ve done as part of His work/plan. I live in the USA, I’m from Ecuador, and I would like to know how I can do some work in His Kingdom. I met Jesus 20 years ago, and I studied Theology at the Assemblies of God. At this time I want to reach as many as possible, and I find myself in it in the zone where I live. I write to you in Spanish because it’s my native tongue, and I can express myself more clearly, English is not my strongest language. I hope that Pastor Charles continues doing his part in the body of Christ, with the full certainty that no work done for the Lord is in vain. Many blessings in Christ Jesus.

I wanted to let you know my husband reminds me every Sunday to record your programme which i did last night. He put it on at breakfast this morning and asked me to sit down a wee minute till i listened,im so glad he did. Think it was your third part on baptism, being buried with Christ.I cried as you spoke about Christians allowing past sin which they had confessed again and again to hunt them it was as if you were talking about me,i have known the Lord Jesus died for me on the cross but i kept ignoring that "no fishing" sign and allowed my mind to dewell in the past. i have relized i am burried with Him too and that is where my past belongs. i am a new creature in Him. Thank you so much for your teaching of  the word of God and the clear manner in which you do it. thank you so much and may God contiue to bless you.

I first stumbled into Living Truth one Sunday back in 2002 or 2003. I can't remember exactly when but what I remember was that like what the others here have shared, Charles seemed to be speaking to me directly. I didn't like watching these "evangelists" on TV with their flashy style of speaking and often overly dramatic tones when making their point and so I remember asking myself what was I doing watching Charles Price on my precious Sunday morning "me" time. But for some reason, he was making sense and I stayed to finish the program. That was about 9 years ago. I've been a Christian for three years now - and it started with that one Sunday morning when I didn't feel like going to my Catholic church. It took me several years of "stumbling" into the program while my life continued to be stuck. I didn't realize it but I was just drifting. All I knew was that I was discontented, that I felt lost and empty deep inside even when outside, I seemed perfectly okay. Proof of the mask that I wore so well was that none of my friends around me had any clue about this growing emptiness within me; perhaps because I myself thought I was okay or that I needed to convince myself that I was. But on another Sunday morning three years ago, I deliberately stayed home to catch Living Truth. I've been doing so quite regularly for several weeks. More so at that time as the reality of my empty life was harder and harder to ignore. Not when my second relationship which I so wanted so much to end up in marriage was failing, not when I was getting older while my friends had gotten on with their lives seemingly so well and so quickly. I mean, they were married, had kids, they've advanced in their careers, bought homes, cars - they seemed so happy and complete. That Sunday, Charles talked about Secondhand Godliness - about Lot hanging out with Abraham because he saw that God was with him. I was Lot - he lost his way because he was not really right with God, that inside, he was really broken...empty. When Charles prayed at the end -the same prayer that I've been hearing for years - about confessing your brokenness and emptiness - being bankrupt, I prayed with him for the first time through my tears. I couldn't do it before. But finally that morning, I admitted that I was broken, that I made so many mistakes and I felt so unworthy. That I surrender. And that I was ready to accept Him. And I did. I'm still single, still poor and so much older - but I'm no longer empty. I am not lost any more. And never will I be alone again. Because I accepted Christ that Sunday morning. God was calling me all my life and He used Living Truth and Charles Price (and yes, even Hilary since I watched her speak on the show several times as well) to bring me home to Him - at just the time He planned. I was baptized soon after accepting Christ and I now call Peoples Church my home church. And I'm still growing and continuing to discover what the Lord's work is through me. May the Lord continue to speak to all of us through this show and through Pastor Charles. May there be more people who will "stumble into" the show!

Hello, Earlier this year I was truly blessed to have heard Rev. Price speak at an evening worship service in Ottawa, at the Met bible church. He spoke on the two covenants, the commandments that become promises once the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, to help you become as one with Christ Jesus. The clarity and precision with which Charles spoke enabled me to understand the meaning of sin and salvation in a way I had been missing. Since then I have sought out his online papers and video sermons, which are the only multimedia I am able to access here at work. I listen to him in the background sometimes as I work. On a side note, following his sermon, I purchased several of his books from the book table at the church. On my way back from Calgary this spring I was reading one and was approached by a member of Canada's parliament who was waiting to disembark from the plane and noticed what I was reading and commented that he had heard Rev. Price speak at the national prayer breakfast. Who would think that I would share this love in Christ with an important man such as he. God bless and thank you.

Hi, my name is Marylou. My life has been changed by giving my devotion to the lord. I stopped drinking. My old ways are behind me. I got baptized, and have gone back to church.  My Father is always there right beside me.  I talk to him every day and I’m even reading the Bible. I don’t understand it yet but I’m trying. I have a lot of people who help me on my journey.  Oh yeah, I have been sober for a year now and with my Father by my side guiding me, I can do no wrong.

8/28/2011 To day I watched your program and I was so blessed, as I watched and you got into your lesson. It was like honey to my soul, because the scriptures you made references to, I have read by myself.  What you did for me today was to bring them to life.  Jesus came as the word and the word dwell among us and we knew him not.  In your reference to the two who built their  house on sand and one on a rock ,and the storm came and the house on the sand was washed away but the one on the rock stood, I have lived my life feeding on the word which  started back as  far as I can recollect, at the age of two to three.  I used to hide under the bed looking at pictures in a book my mother had.

 One day, my parents  couldn't  find me and after searching , they found me under the bed asleep on this book. My mother saw the book asked me why I was under the bed looking at the book.  So I  explained that I didn't think I should be looking at the book.  She said it was OK. I still remember that book today.  It was blue, covered with all the Bible stories in it.  The pictures and colours fascinated me. My mother, knowing I could not read, would explained these pictures to me. So I began to learn about Sodom and Gomorrah and how Lot's wife became a pillar of salt. Just about all the Bible stories were in this book, and as I got older and could read, I have always read my Bible. So when my storms came I was able to stand and even today I am still standing on the rock which is Jesus.

Your reference regarding how we should feed on the word is real.  Pastor, you are a chosen vessel that God is using today to bring his word to the lost and misguided people in the world. Today I have been blessed by your preaching and I hope to visit your church one day. Thanks.

I am writing to share that the ministry of Living Truth is a great encouragement to us every Sunday morning.  We watch the show at 7:00 am while we are getting ready to minister at our new church plant. For the last two years I have been involved in teaching  the children's church ministry during our service and have not been able to take part in the message that is shared by our pastor. I consider the message that Pastor Charles and occasionally Hilary share to be spiritual food for me on a weekly basis. May God continue to bless them and make them a blessing.

I was listening to your sermon "fishermen" and you made me understand how Paul wrote the scriptures, for example, Ephesians, Philippians. In particular, I came to know how Paul was naming the people who were in prison with him - that they were chained to his hand and he could talk to them about Jesus Christ. In this way they made the gospel known to non- believers once they were released. This was great!  I am a born again Christian. I watch you on TV quite often and  you are clear in explaining the scriptures. May God's grace be with you.

As a child of 7 or 8 yrs. old, I was introduced to Christianity by a caring neighbor after we arrived in Canada from Britain. Christ was always in my life, but I never truly started reading the Bible cover to cover until 1995. I continue to read scripture daily but it takes a person like Charles Price to explain the "true gospel”. As Charles said in the June 26 message, if the true gospel were taught, we would lose a lot of Christians and it is in this statement I truly agree. I, through divine intervention ended up joining a Messianic Jewish synagogue where the Rabbi REALLY teaches what is true and what our responsibilities are as true followers of Christ. It truly is life changing once we understand what scripture is telling us. Many think the old testament is for the Hebrews only, however, not true. Gentiles have been included since the Exodus as "aliens" "foreigners" and are included in what God has commanded we do in order to follow Him and receive His full blessings.

I have been watching Peoples/Living Truth since Paul Smith was pastor and the biblical truth contained in all the messages is evident, not to mention rare on television. On one occasion within the last year, however, there was a point that Charles was preaching and a certain part of a sermon was so directed at me that, the very presence of God was speaking directly to me via Charles. This was the beginning of several intercessions by the Holy Spirit that led me directly to a personal relationship with Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. I have watched many preachers on television and grew up attending church, but nothing like this has ever happened!! I am heartily grateful that Peoples Church are such willing agents of the Lord and that His light shines through you all. I have started attending in person as the Lord has directed me and the unspoken fellowship of fellow Christians is palpable. Living Truth was also helpful in inspiring me to finally read the Bible for myself at the age of 48! I truly thank the Lord that he has been so patient with me and that Living Truth was given to me as an able guide! Living Truth does bear faithful witness to THE TRUTH! ***Both boxes say yes, but I do mean Yes!***

I listened to your broadcast for the first time today and was delighted to hear a message from God. The message was delivered in such a way that it spoke directly to my heart. My spirit was blessed and I wanted to hear so much more from this man of God so I went to your website and checked it out. I am pleased with what I found. I will be listening and watching the broadcast thru Sky Angel IPTV.

Thank God for the ministries I have just mentioned that some are still speaking the truth. There are so many preachers that are not speaking the truth and it is refreshing when we find the faithful ones who speak God's word the way it is meant to be taught. God bless this ministry!

Every Sunday before leaving for Church I always watch Charles Price and make sure I have my pen/paper ready to jot down a new thought/revelation which often is so practical and helpful. And recently... I heard Hilary speaking in the Holy Land about "Peter!" Weeks before, the Lord directed me to study the character of Peter which opened my eyes to God's unconditional love! Hilary expanded on it even more and I started to understand more about myself and I was very blessed and encouraged by her way of describing Peter. She does it in such a gentle, sensitive and often humorous way. Thank you for this TV ministry of sharing and teaching the Word of God in an easy to understand manner. May God bless you all!!

The truth pouring out of the pastor and also his wife is such a drink of cool water in such a dry and thirsty land. O thank you both so very much. Very much I say thank you. The humility from the pastor is so refreshing. The truths are so needed for me. I know it's the Lord Jesus. I am seeing and hearing from one who has surrendered and is a follower. My knowledge has grown so much. Me and my wife and an aunt wait for each week to hear you. If only it was every day. But I am so glad to have found you. It was the Lord who brought me to your ministry and I thank Him for you.

Thank you Charles Price for a wonderful message.. So well explained ... I fwd. it on to my sister in London, England ... not a believer.. pray that it will minister to you.
 
I live in BC.. And would have loved to visit Israel with you and Living Truth.. But it would have been too expensive so I went with a local church group in 2009. I agree about Jerusalem and entering into that City brought tears to my eyes.. My first visit.. I
had not expected this to happen.   I was very moved by a lot of the sites where Jesus walked.
The one that brought "hope" was standing on MT. Olives.. And looking at the Eastern Gate ..
Knowing that one day He would stand on this spot (not much room there!!) and enter into the Holy City.
 
Thanks again for your ministry and wonderful teaching.  When are you visiting us in Vancouver again?
 
Wonderful Easter wishes to you and your family.

I belong to an orthodox Hindu family where Christianity is strictly prohibited.  But secretly I am a converted Christian.  My Mom died when I was a kid, but from that day God has led my path.  He has been making many miracles in my life.  I have no chance to go to church, so in secret I watch and listen through TV and internet.  These are the only sources to keep my spirits in God.  So one day I saw about this Living Truth on TV and with it I surfed the net.  I don't have  a bible so I use your service to read the bible.  God speaks and answers me through this bible gateway.  Thank you so much.  Praise the lord.  God bless you all.
