Paul Prather: Grace Changes Everything

About this episode

Paul Prather discusses his transformative vision of God's grace and love.

Paul Prather revisits the 90-minute vision in 1980 that upended his understanding of God—a Damascus experience in which he saw that God is in control of everything, and that His deepest desire is to bless people, not to condemn. Pastor Paul's experience echoes Jesus and St. Paul: whose teachings stressed forgiveness, love and grace—not judgment or measuring others. Grace, Prather argues, is the true center of the faith with God's love and mercy accepting us exactly as we are. This frees us from sin consciousness and changes everything. His kingdom is not a distant promise; it's here now, whenever and wherever we share His unmerited love. Prather's message is beautifully simple: lighten your grip. God already has you.
