God’s love is inexplicable —it’s vast, mind-blowing, and no matter how many times you try to describe it, words just don’t seem to do it justice. We toss around the phrase, “God loves us,” and “faith” as easily as we order our morning coffee, but do we really get what that means? It’s more than just a comforting thought; it’s a life-altering reality.
As I share my journey—filled with twists, turns, and a few unexpected detours—I invite you to come with me on a journey of faith and rediscover a renewed sense of peace in knowing that, yes, God really does have a plan, even when it feels like we’re just making it up as we go along. So, buckle up and get ready for a ride through the ups and downs of experiencing His unfailing love, because trust me, it’s a trip worth taking.
Chennai, 2012
In July 2012, I started a new chapter of my life with a job in Chennai, India. It was everything I’d hoped for—decent paycheck, close to my parents, and a stable position. It felt like I’d settle down. After all, against all the odds, I was the only one chosen to be an Analyst from my college at this big company in 2012. Life was good.
Everything seemed great, and I was happy, not knowing that God had bigger plans for me.
The Unexpected Prophecy
I used to go home every few months, and it was just a train ride away. During one of my vacation in 2012, I was spending time in prayer with my friend, and Pastor Sukumaran, who has also played a significant role in my life earlier ( It’s been 13 years since I left Cessationism).
During a prayer session with Pastor, he suddenly saw a vision and prophesied that within a couple of years, I would be going abroad.
I was like “What??!!. But I dont have any plans to move.”
“But this is what the Lord is showing me, Prince” he replied.
“But how?”
“When it’s time, God will take care of it” he smiled.
How could this be? I was settled and had no plans to move. Little did I know, God had already set a plan in motion—one that was hidden from my understanding, but would soon shake me up, and test my faith in Him.
But then I totally forgot about that prophecy and just carried on with life. I made some awesome friends, had a blast, and felt pretty chill about my job. I mean, I was so caught up in all the fun that I totally forgot about even God, apart from the odd nudge on Sundays.
But as 2013 rolled on, the atmosphere at work began to shift. Office politics escalated between two of my bosses, and since I was reporting to both, I found myself caught in the crossfire. By October, the hostility had intensified, leaving me stressed.
In December, things hit rock bottom, as I dreaded setting foot in the office, given that the work environment had turned toxic. The job that I once considered a gift from the universe now had me contemplating if it was time to leave.
I reached out to Pastor Sukumaran again for prayer, as was my custom those days, as I was unsure whether to stay or leave.
The answer came back clear:
“You will be leaving this job in a few months”
“Really? Can I leave now?”
“it isn’t time to leave yet. God says to wait, and He showed me Europe.” he said.
“Ohh yeah, Europe, I remember you prophesying it 2 years ago”
“Hmm, I see you going to Europe”
Well, I started to apply for jobs in Europe left and right, hoping that some benevolent CEO would say that “God spoke to me hire you”, and would hire me. I would dream of life in Europe, and what not.
But I didn’t get even any response to those job applications.
In the meantime, the workplace was like it was toxicity on steroids. I kept asking the Pastor every month whether it was time to leave and in March 2014, I asked him again.
“It’s time. But know that there is a period of waiting before you will head to Europe”
Finally! I was now going to fly to Europe soon. After months of enduring some pain and backstabbing, here I was, about to fulfill the prophecy of God.
Good riddance.
So, in faith, I quit my job with 2 months to go to finish 2 years.
I was dreaming of going to Europe.
Little did I know, that this was going to be the start of a rollercoaster ride that would change my life forever.
But first things first, the 2-month notice period!
Commentary: Looking Back
Looking back at those days, that’s when I learned to trust in God’s timing. His love was guiding me, even through the tough times at work. I realized that I didn’t have to do anything special to make prophecies come true.
I wasn’t really tight with God. The same guy who got supernaturally transformed 3 years ago had kinda pushed his spiritual life to Sundays. Christ wasn’t the main focus of my life. But God’s grace was all over my life, which is what transformed me.
I didn’t realize why God wanted me to go to Europe at the time. I thought it was his way of “honouring” me. But over the years, I have realized that God doesn’t honour people by sending them abroad. In fact, why would God want us to find honour in “settling in Europe”? It’s a carnal honour. God wants us to find honour and glory in Him, alone. But I didn’t know all this. So, going to Europe was a big deal!
I never knew how to live in authority as a believer. I would always ask for a “prophetic word” , so that God could make the decision. Even though it’s not necessarily a bad thing, I’ve come to realize that I can actually walk in authority as a believer in any circumstance, and that I have access to God’s will through the mind of Christ.
Anyways, this was just the beginning of a journey that would test my faith and draw me closer to Him. The next chapter would reveal how God’s plan, though mysterious, was far greater than anything I could have imagined.
Read on. You will be astonished to hear what the Lord did in my life!
