Destined to Reign: The Secret to Effortless Success, Wholeness and Victorious Living Paperback – January 25, 2010

I heard Joesph Prince on TBN, and his attire and the show on TBN made me question if he was fluff or a prosperity gospel teacher. I almost ordered the book though as I liked the things he said, that were unlike stuff I had heard before. Yet, I didn't at first as didn't want to get sucked into hype. Then months later when God led me to a new church and a big time of changes for blessing in my life, even in still challenging circumstances, I was told to read this book by people at my church and my pastor. So I finally did. This book is life changing if you grasp the message of it! It is now on my must read list! I like Joseph Price says, like most people, had made grace into a basic and check off the list concept, something that baby Christians study and then you get it and move on. Yet, grace while simple, it also a huge key to the Christian life, not just in salvation, but in every area. I read this maybe 6 months ago, if that, and already it has change my life and I now more than ever am on a path to reigning by the grace of God in my life in more areas and in impacting others as a vessel for Jesus, by His grace! I have lived as best I could to really live for God, most who know me would say I am one of the most respected men of God they know, not that I ever thought or people thought I was perfect, and I have had my challenges, but all of that time, I had this blindness over my mind, I actually in some way, could not grasp why God was not blessing me as I was doing all I could and in great steps of faith to serve Him. I don't want to go off in all I had done and the kind of life I had lived, but in many ways I would be like Paul, in being able to boast at what I had done in doing what I thought God wanted me to do and live according to, and in my finances, I had been a strong supporter of tithing, for nearly 10 years, and not a lot of people under 30 tithe, but I would struggle at times in that because was I tithing in everything in every area, in every way, well of course not, but I put it under grace, if I forgot to tithe on a birthday gift, well I was trying to please God and tithe and I was doing it as best I could from the right motive, not giving to get, but giving out of love of God, but yet I struggled in areas of my life financially and I didn't understand why. I now see that God was letting me experience the purpose of the law, I was like Joesph price says, living luke warm, grace and law, it was not life giving. Now if you asked me was I doing that, I would say no, we don't live by the law, but my thoughts and mindset, was living and my thinking and believing was in law and grace, and it caused me pain. I now see that grace set's us free and empowers us in Christ! Grace does not weaken or lessen us, I don't give power to the law in trying to keep it in tithing, but I live in grace and fully expect grace to change me to being cheerfully giving above and beyond a tithe, not in earning or expecting God's blessing, for I now claim and have the full blessings of God, by grace, not just by imparted justification, but imparted righteousness of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit to change my mind and give me faith, so that I come to God, just as Jesus would, without sin, having kept the law in full, and fully deserving of God's blessings, for it is in Jesus Christ, that righteousness by grace is imparted to me, in Him. I fooled myself thinking I could earn favor and anything from God in trying to please Him before, in trying to do my best at the law, but no one can keep the law, and even if I fail at 1 little thing in God's law, I am guilty as the scripture says of breaking it all! This book is a life changing book. It is not grace preachers, who fully embrace grace, who are down playing the law or grace, or preaching cheap grace, there is no cheap grace, if you have the grace of Jesus, you have the most priceless grace there is! If you are not being changed by grace, you are not embracing the full grace of Jesus, but going back and forth between grace and law, and that brings no power or change any where close, if at all, to that of the grace of Jesus, in full! Pastors and people who preach law, they are the ones who are down playing the law, lowering the standard of the law, so that they can feel they can come even close to keeping the law! We have law or we have grace, and the Bible calls law the ministry of death, we as fallen people, with sin nature in us, when we come into law, the law increases the sin in us! The purpose of the law is convert the sinner, to know their need of a savior! It is by grace we are saved. This book is a must read.

"Destined to Reign" lays out the foundational truths of the gospel of grace.... like no other resource I've ever found! I've read most of Joseph Prince's books, the others are pretty good, but this one is the most essential for really grasping the essence of grace. I've read it over 10 times now and still counting; I just can't put it down! Each chapter contains about 20 scripture references, making it perfect for examining and studying the gospel of grace from a biblical perspective. This book is the most prized possession in my entire library! If you're going to buy one Christian book in your life, it should be this one!

One of the most influential books I've read outside of the Bible. Pastor Joseph Prince CLARIFIES what it means to live under Grace without Condemnation.I've been a Christian for 24 years, but while I was saved by Grace (Salvation), I still believed that God would not bless me if I didn't live right. I was afraid that God would be angry with me or punish me if I didn't obey him completely. I tried to convince myself that I was doing "okay" but became self-righteous, looking only for what I did right and ignoring when I messed up. It was pure torture as I wasn't sure if I repented enough or served enough to please God.What a difference when we realize that we have exchanged all our rags of works (even after salvation) for Jesus's pure robe of righteousness. That God is pleased with me and does not punish me when I screw up. Jesus took all condemnation, judgment, and punishment in my place and I no longer have to worry about displeasing God. Even my faith comes from Him and I don't have to work on faith, muster faith, measure whether I'm believing "hard enough." I just have to relax and believe that Faith Comes from Hearing and Hearing by the Word of Christ. So if I hear, hear, hear [read aloud] the Word of Christ (what Jesus did, what Jesus says, who Jesus is), then I will naturally have faith that pleases God.Hallelujah. What a refreshing book to help me truly understand grace. I bought copies of this book to give to my family already. This book is liberation from "religion" and helps come out from underneath a lot of "religious" teachings you get in most churches that focus on what you have to do [after you're saved] to please God.

EXCELLENT!!!
