Depression

From a very young age, I started having spiritual problems.

I remember when I was about four years old I began seeing shadow figures walking through my house. At night, they opened doors and rattled the doorknobs, among other supernatural things that often frightened my parents and I. Besides that, I dealt with a problem that accompanied me during my entire youth, which lead me to seek help in spiritual centers and psychologists. I tried everything to get rid of the oppression I felt.

But, I constantly had episodes of depression.

There were times when I would not eat or leave the house for 1-2 weeks. In other words, my life turned into a living hell. I felt totally discouraged, sad and couldn’t find beauty in anything. My life completely lost its meaning.

Because of the constant episodes and the supernatural things I saw at home, my parents desperately tried to help me. They began visiting the house of a man who served evil spirits. It was definitely not normal for a 4-year-old girl, with a good financial condition and a well-structured family, to go through these problems.

So, every time I went into depression, my parents ran to his house, where many rituals were done and the only thing that could improve my depression was when he gave me a bath with popcorn. We visited his house for over 10 years, but my problem was never solved. The depression slightly improved whenever I had the popcorn bath, then months later, it would all come back again.

According to that spirit, who said it belonged to “the light”, I would only be healed once I began receiving them in my life, but my parents never accepted. To prevent this from happening to me, several rituals were performed in forests, at waterfalls, besides the thousands of popcorn baths.

When I turned 15, the depression became stronger, which led my parents to send me to a psychologist, thinking that the problem was not just spiritual. They transferred me to another school and despite having helped by easing the depression, I was still empty, sad, full of inferiority complexes and envious.

Whoever saw me would have thought that I was very happy, but only God knows what went on inside me. Though I was an intelligent girl and was always among the top students of my class, when it came time for the final exam, I decided to ask the man for help, who in turn did a huge ritual in my favor, with lots of food and a wax head, saying it would open my mind.

A week after the ritual was performed, my scores dropped among the worst of the class. I couldn’t study or concentrate. My life turned upside down and my mother, who was in good health, began having panic attacks and had to be put on medication to control the episodes. My home became a living hell.

Until one day, during a family gathering, one of my uncles who is an assistant of The Universal Church, saw our situation and asked to speak to us. At the end of the conversation, he prayed for us and the evil spirit that was hidden in my family was revealed. The scales fell from our eyes.

From that day forth, we began to attend meetings at The Universal Church in Barra da Tijuca – Brazil, and gradually, we were delivered. The depression that I had since I was 4 years old disappeared, my mother was delivered from the evil spirits, and first and foremost, God molded me from within. He removed all the sadness, complexes and jealousy that I had of my friends. This is, He molded my heart little by little, until the day I had a real encounter with the Lord Jesus, which transformed my life completely!

Today I can say that I’m the happiest girl in the world, because it is not like the happiness you find in this world, it’s an inexplicable happiness. It is something only the Holy Spirit can reveal.

Now that is supernatural!
