I want to thank you for all the efforts you've taken by praying for me as I've requested last week as I was having a domestic violence in my family. Really the power of GOD is working. The ALMIGHTY GOD is working. THE ALMIGHTY has given back the joy which the devil stole. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

Dear Bertie, I have just been and am continuing to listen to your expounding the Word on FAITH WITHOUT WORKS. Over and over am I listening to it and already it is curshing some of the teachings that have been puting me in the law mentality. I thank God for you for coming out straight on this. I am getting transformed and I feel it is easy to live, walk and enjoy Jesus. I am blessed.

Thank you very much for putting Jesus Christ pictures on the Cross. I am touched. Really I have been touched and from today I do believe that life will never remain the same for sure thank you. Tears are just coming out of me that I cannot really believe that all long I have not been understanding the death of Christ for my sins.

For almost 30 years, or even 30 years plus, I have believed that I have sinned against the Holy Spirit. When I spoke with Christians around me about my deep seated fear and quest to understand this fear of eternal damnation, I barely received a response, a sort of “don't really know response". I believe this lack of response is so because a lot of Christians do not understand fully, the love of God, through God's Grace I have learnt about His unconditional love for me, about the basic Trust of the GOSPEL OF GRACE, and about the freedom we have in Christ. For the 1st time in my life I realizes with flash of everlasting inspiration that all Jesus ever wanted from us, was to BELIEVE AND only when we have rejected the Grace of God (UNBELIEF), do we experience this deep seated fear and damnation. I incorrectly believed that my backsliding had caused me to "...sin against the Holy Spirit..." and that there was no return for me. How incredibly, incredibly overjoyed was I to realize that this so-called “...sin against the Holy Spirit... " was really UNBELIEF and that God was faithfully waiting for me to BELIEVE instead of UNBELIEF. There is only one sin that JESUS could not die for and that is the sin of UNBELIEF - every other sin is covered by the Blood of the Lamb, for those that BELIEVE in JESUS. The Bible is very clear on this. He is faithful and remains faithful until the end. The deeper I delve into the WORD (i.e., the more I listen to what Jesus is saying to me), the more I become aware of the fact that Jesus said in John 10:10 ....I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. So, certainly not condemnation, but life and life in abundance through His Glorious Grace and my ACCEPTANCE of that GRACE through childlike belief what JESUS has done for ME. If you feel that you have sinned against the Holy Spirit, think again, for as long as you breathe air, you have the opportunity to say, “yes I do now believe“ if we believe with our hearts, and confess with our mouths!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Bertie
I was born again 12 years ago but I didn't know the gospel like your preach it (i.e. I didn't know I am righteous by the life Jesus, I believed that I have to bear fruit by my effort after accepting Jesus as my Savior). Because of this I have been frustrated for these 12 years and couldn't bear fruit. I have been living by the Law. But now I am delivered form all operations of the law and starting a new life in Christ. Thank you Bertie. God bless you and your ministry. In Jesus Name!

Dear Bertie
Thank you very much for preaching the “Gospel of Grace", it is very precious message to me. The indepth studies were good the first time I listened to them, but after I've heard of the Gospel of Grace I went back to them again. This time my eyes were opened and I understood more of the WORD like never before. I also realized that the new testament of the Bible is all about the wonderful Grace of God. I also love “your revelation" on the Book of Romans 5; I never knew that from the first chapter of this book Grace was so well explained, right there in the Bible. All this became clear after I've heard you preaching. Now I see Grace everywhere in the New Testament of the Bible. I have also started rejecting everything that has to do with the Law and works mentality no matter how well prepared the messages, or how well known the preacher is. I thank God for the courage and boldness He has given you by Grace to preach the message. Thank you very much wonderful man of God I bless you, your wife and kids in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Bertie, Thank you so much for all your messages. I lived in fear for so long, because I couldn't live righteously, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't love God, because I felt like He was so disappointed in me. Now I have such a better understanding, that I want to just jump up, crawl in his lap, and give him a big kiss, I love Him so much. I know God sent me to your website. Peace and Grace to you and everyone reading this.

I was just recently introduced to your ministry and have been listening intensely to each of your messages on this site. I have been greatly blessed by the Gospel of Grace message. For many years I have been under the Faith/Prosperity messages but realized much of it is under the law. A great burden of fear was removed from me as I continued to hear the message of Grace. Thanks again and God bless

Hi there. My name is Mark, I've been visiting the ministry site over the last year and felt it was time to share a bit of what the gospel has done in me. I was listening to one of the messages yesterday and Bertie had said to contact! Around a year ago a friend of mine called Ian Van Ryneveld from SA started to share the gospel of grace with me. We both attended Hillsong International Leadership College in Sydney and I was a happy bunny with my balanced (mixed) ideas about faith... Someone then bought me Destined to Reign and I began to see more of what God had done for me and it started to change me inside and out. It came to a point where I was standing on a beach reading about 'mixture' and knew I had to choose again, Grace or my balanced tempered ideas... I wanted to toss the book in the ocean. I then felt God say ' LOOK TO JESUS' and literally the sunshine popped above the clouds for the first time that day and I was amazed by Jesus once more. I sat down and 'randomly' opened the bible to Galatians 3 and it grabbed me.... He is so good. So much has happened since then it feels like I could write forever on it all but what I wanted to communicate was my thanks for sharing the gospel and a desire to grow in this. I have been running a couple small groups reading through Destined to Reign with people and God has gone and changed their lives completely with His grace that it begins to outflow into their ministries and Church. The gospel has changed me a lot. I am hungry to share it more and more and love it! I'm looking at jumping into the Bible School online here and just wanted to introduce myself and just celebrate Jesus with you! He is incredible and this message of grace cannot be stopped!

I am previously saved, but watched your first 2 messages on salvation to see your perspective. I realized I wasn't taught that God has forgiven my future sins. I realize I have been working on getting right with him. I realize I have a never ending battle with condemnation and it's hard to believe that I am still ok with Him. Boy do I need grace! I've been searching for acceptance for a long time and I realize America has virtually no grace revelation. It is all works in one form or another. I have tried Lutheran, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Assembly of God, Church of God, Church of Christ, and Baptist. I've come full circle to nothing. I am just now seeing the revelation of grace and all my religious acquaintances have ostracized me. The unsaved over here are rejecting God because of the religious stumbling blocks -the heavy loads of legalism. Thank you for being a light to a darkened country, U.S.A.

Dear Bertie, I live in North Richland Hills, TX. My friend has been talking to me about the grace message for a couple of years, but I was just too religious to accept it.... Then 2 weeks ago she told me to put my computer on Grace Stream TV and I let it play all day. Oh My Goodness!!!!! It hit me the first day I listened to it!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I am 56 years old and was born again 8 years ago. Since that time, I have struggled to do things right. I would fast, I would pray, I would tithe, I would spend X amount of hours with the Lord and when I failed on any of my tasks-I felt I had failed the Lord and would not be blessed. What a weight off my shoulders!! It has been about 2 weeks since I "got it" and my goodness it is wonderful! Thank you for all you do and Blessings to you and your family!

Dear Bertie, I am so blessed that I came across your ministry today through the wonderful guidance of my latest facebook friend. My friend referred me to the 'message archive' on your website but I decided to read about you first. I must confess I started writing immediately after reading about you. The message God has given you to preach is all I needed to be free from the message that teaches bondage of sin and death, which has dominated my spirit, soul and body; and made me believe 24/7 that I was unworthy to be called a Christian. May God bless you, your beautiful family and ministry the even more. Thank you for being there. Thank you Bertie.

Dear Bertie, my wife and I thought it good to submit a testimony after 6 months of glorious freedom from the religious law system that gave birth to a life of self deception and a fake belief – i.e. death. We attended a church for 7 years where the grace of God was ‘balanced’ with the law – this caused anger, strife, anxiety, depression, condemnation and many other ‘-nations’ and ‘-sessions’. We lost our joy in the Lord. I could not even see that He WANTED to bless me. I experienced an ever increasing depression that was so great that I could feel it growing deep inside of me – like a heavy lump in the core of my being. I thought that if my circumstances at work could change, then I would be set free from this depression. But somehow I realized that this was a lie – surely I could not depend on my circumstances to bring joy and deliverance to me, but still nothing changed. The Lord also continually gave me scriptures saying that I should leave Babylon. I thought that this was referring to my workplace and got mad at the Lord for telling me this – where was I supposed to find another job ??!!! Eventually we realized that there was an idol in our hearts and that this was the law of Moses!! We decided to say NO to this idol and turn our backs on it and to accept the Gospel of Grace. We even warned our church leaders regarding this idol of own works – but it was totally rejected. We lost almost all our friends overnight, but the glorious light of the TRUE Gospel that was turned on in our hearts and home was not to be exchanged for the arm of flesh!! It was as if a dark blanket that had been covering our home, was lifted and the heavens were opened above us. The depression I was living with, disappeared immediately. My wife enjoyed a glorious time of re-discovering her first Love, and the Lord moved us to tears of joy in Him!! My prophetic gift that had slowly been dying for the past 7 years was re-ignited immediately. I am now only discovering the true meaning of the gift of prophecy, in understanding old testament scriptures in the light of Jesus!! Previously, reading the Bible was a laborious task that I tried to avoid. Now it has changed into such a GREAT joy!! I never realized that the word of God contained so much joy on every page. Hallelujah!! I cannot stop reading this glorious book and find my beautiful, loving God on every page – even in the Old testament !! Understanding Scripture has also never been this easy to me – I can now REALLY understand what the Lord is saying, and this understanding is truly effortless and not laborious. Your messages and SOUND Biblical teaching has since confirmed our decision to abandon the law mentality. I soon realized that the Babylon I was supposed to leave, referred to the worldly system of works that most ‘Christians’ are walking in. We really treasure your messages – we compare it to the parable of the treasure in the field – as we know that this treasure is the TRUE gospel – and this is what you preach uncompromisingly. We know that you and your family must have paid a great price for preaching this true gospel – the law will always persecute the children of the free. For this we honor you, my Brother. Thank you Bertie, we see that you walk in the Spirit and praise God!!! May the Lord bless you and your family.
