During a profoundly moving episode of the variety TV show “Steve,” hosted by the well-known Christian celebrity Steve Harvey, gospel singer Duranice Pace delivered a heartfelt message that left Harvey visibly emotional. Pace, whose life story is a testament to resilience and faith, opened up about her traumatic past and the divine interventions she believes shaped her journey.
Duranice Pace’s childhood was marred by unimaginable challenges, including abuse and an incident where she was poisoned with rat poison, severely damaging her vocal cords. Despite these harrowing experiences, Pace chose to focus on the miraculous ways in which she felt supported and uplifted by her faith in God rather than the cruelty she endured from others.
“I believe the Lord gave me a touch when they fed me rat poison in Rochester, New York, and they had to cut out half of my vocal cords,” she explained. “And they said I would never talk again, but the man upstairs said, ‘You gonna sing again.’”
“I didn’t know if I was going to be alive but God done kept me alive to see you, sir,” she told Steve Harvey.
The interview took an emotional turn from the outset as Pace recounted her inspirational tale of healing and divine intervention. She shared with Harvey and the audience how, against all odds, her vocal cords were miraculously healed, a testament to her unwavering faith in God’s power.
“This is Steve Harvey. He’s a good man. He loves the Lord, and he’ll give you a helping hand. God’s going to bless Steve Harvey,” she sang. “Keep on, keep on. You helped me to live, sir, keep on … you special.”
Pace’s encounters with divine grace didn’t end there. She also shared a harrowing diagnosis she once received from doctors, who told her she had thyroid cancer and only three years to live. Despite this dire prognosis, Pace held onto her faith, believing that God had a greater plan for her life.
Throughout the interview, it was evident that Harvey was deeply affected by Pace’s powerful testimony. The moment Pace began to sing, encapsulating the purpose of her appearance on the show through her music, the entire studio, including Harvey, was moved to tears.
“I just hope she’s seeing today, watching this moment right here,” a tearful Steve told Duranice Pace. “The only reason I straightened up and started doing right was ’cause I just wanna see her. Other than that, I’d still be going to Hell like I was.”
Pace’s infectious faith and charismatic presence had already won over the audience, but it was her prophetic song during the interview that truly captivated everyone, including Harvey. The gospel singer’s profound words resonated deeply with Harvey, prompting him to share a personal reflection about the last moments he spent with his late mother.
Just recently, he tweeted some profound words of advice:
“God really wants to help us, but he requires that we have a relationship with him. If you’re out here trying to make it without God, you are making life harder than it needs to be. There is a higher power, and there is a God. It’s time to get in touch with God.”
Harvey acknowledged the impact Pace’s visit had on him, emphasizing how God can work through individuals to deliver profound messages. Having faced numerous challenges himself, Harvey credits his mother’s influence for guiding him toward a path of faith in Jesus. As a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, Harvey is committed to using his platform to spread inspiration and hope, drawing from his own experiences and the powerful testimonies of guests like Duranice Pace.
