"I started watching Joseph Prince in early 2015. I’ve been a believer since young but had not seen someone with a message like Joseph’s. I would regularly watch his sermons and listen to his podcasts when I worked out at the gym.
My wife and I had been trying to conceive a child. We experienced disappointment after disappointment as we went to several fertility clinics and spent a lot of money only to have more miscarriages. One Thanksgiving was particularly sad and devastating as we lost a child at nine weeks.
There were many side effects from the medications that my wife took. For years, we watched as all our friends had success in conceiving. We became hardened over time and somewhat cynical. It felt as though our age was working against us. But I never believed God would let us down. I learned that right believing leads to right thinking and right living.
We had countless prayer sessions upheld by a continued belief that God would deliver. Today I am thrilled to announce that after almost seven years of struggle, loss, and pain, great joy has come into our lives! Our little girl, Juliana Rose, was born on February 10, 2020. She is completely healthy, amazingly cute, and totally well.
Thank you, Joseph Prince, for your messages. I continue to listen to your sermons and read your books. All praise and glory to Jesus, thank You, Lord!"

Trade Your Anxiety for Tangible Peace
“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:6-9 WEB)
Acting upon emotions is much easier than waiting by faith.
I dislike waiting, but I will still wait because the victory must come from the Lord. I don’t want to foolishly self-sabotage by the works of the flesh.
While waiting, pray often and spend time feeding your faith by meditating on God’s promises. The faithful prayers of the righteous are powerfully effective.
One way to tell that you are in faith is that you are full of peace, even when it looks like enemies have you surrounded.
When natural instincts are screaming at you to do something, the person of faith can still be calmly waiting for the Lord to deliver him, trusting in the power of prayer and not in the strength of the flesh.
This is impossible in the natural! It is only possible when the supernatural peace of God guards your heart.
If you are full of worry and fear now, it is because you are holding on tightly to your problems, trying to be fully responsible for fixing them. You are so afraid that if you let go and just turn away for one second, your life will fall to pieces.
Give your problems to the Lord by praying. Tell Him about the problems and trust Him to fix them. You do believe that God is your timely source of help don’t you?
If you have a hard time believing this, the apostle Paul’s advice in the passage above will help you. Think about praiseworthy things. In other words, meditate on Jesus and how much He loves you, how mighty He is to save, and the abundance of grace that is available to you.
Follow these things that have been shared and God will be the God of Peace to you. He will supply the supernatural peace that you need.
Not only that, peace is shalom in Hebrew, which means a tangible completeness and wholeness whereby there is nothing out of place or lacking. The peace within will come with the visible shalom as well. Expect your deliverance at the right time!
God does everything under Heaven according to His system of times and seasons. “God’s Appointed Time” is a must-read if you want to know how to flow with Him and be unceasingly prosperous and fruitful in every season: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p23/gods-appointed-time-milton-goh.html

This is for someone who feels like he or she is drowning.
“Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me. I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God. “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.” Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.” (Jonah 2:1-10 WEB)
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your challenges and it feels like you’re sinking deeper and deeper without any way of escape.
You may be so stressed out that you feel suffocated and trapped.
The beauty of Jonah chapter 2 is that you see Jonah sinking down and down until he reached the bottom of the sea, but suddenly there’s a turning point.
He seems to stop going down and becomes still when He remembers Yahweh (Jesus).
Then he rises up and is vomited back onto dry land.
Dear brethren, if you feel like you’re sinking, remember Jesus and call upon Him for help.
No matter how deep you are in the sea, your faint whispered prayer can still reach His sanctuary in Heaven. You’re not too far beyond His help.
“If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.” (Psalms 139:9-10 WEB)
Jonah ended his monologue with a declaration that salvation belongs to Yahweh (Jesus).
Salvation doesn’t belong to anything or anyone else. Nothing and no one can save you like Jesus can.
Your fleshly self-efforts are like a metal ball-and-chain tied around your ankles—tiring you out and dragging you lower.
When you give up trying to save yourself, Jesus will quickly pull you out of those deep waters.
If you’ve been consistently going down, there’s good news—the next step is to go up!
Quickly call upon Jesus and He will save you from trouble now.
What does Jesus’ original Hebrew name Yeshua mean? It means Yahweh saves or salvation.
His main mission and identity is to be your Savior, and He is mighty to save!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.
Each chapter is designed to ignite your faith and increase expectancy in your heart to receive miracles now.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles in the four gospels, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see miracles in every area of your life!
You will also be able to walk in the power of God when you expect to see the supernatural gifts in operation.
Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore
