I became a zombie
Hello, bishop!!
I found this message very strong and very important, because I completely lost my vision one day!
I came to the Church when I was eight years old. At 14, I was a candidate to be an assistant, and by 16, I was raised as an assistant. I served in the Work of God for seven years. Those days were wonderful! However, at the age of 23, I lost my vision: I fell into sin and turned away from God and His work.
It did not take long before I got involved with the wrong crowd and started doing the wrong things. I got involved with homosexuality and went to nightclubs every night. I began snorting, smoking and drinking.
The first year went well, I didn’t even miss God.
There was a time when I hated the Church because I was hanging out with people that had also fallen away. One of my friends used to say that the Church used hypnosis. I even attended a hypnosis course with a doctor. There, I fell into a trance, and every day I sank further. One day, I started saying that I didn’t want to change anymore, I was no longer going to fight to change and if God wanted, then He would have to do it Himself.
I started attending a church for homosexuals. Somehow, a friend convinced me to go to that church and said that it was possible to serve God that way. I distanced myself from God every day. Then my life took a turn and I started to have back problems.
One time, I had to stay in bed because I wasn’t able to get up. I remember that day my back curved into the letter “C” because it was so deformed. I went to the doctor and he said that I had a herniated disc.
One day, an assistant went to my mother’s house and, once they saw me, they prayed for me. I automatically manifested with a demon, who said that he wanted to make me hunchback and leave me in the wheelchair. The assistant told him to straighten my back, and it happened that instant. However, a few days later, I continued doing the wrong things because I no longer cared. I even went to Church, but I did not surrender my life.
Time passed, and several things happened. I left my mother’s house and went to live on my own. My situation worsened. I became depressed. I went into a deep sadness, and no longer did anything. I stopped going to work, and being a part of society, I got worse every day. I started having bouts of madness, mood swings – crying for no reason – I even thought about suicide.
That day, I looked for various medicines to take, but I couldn’t find any. A friend came by my house – he served evil spirits – we began talking about my issues and he received an evil spirit, which I consulted and he asked me for a few things.
The next day, I went to that friend’s house, where there was a room with several images. There, I consulted with several spirits, drank and smoked. One of them looked at me and said, “Remember me?”
I said “No”.
Then he replied: “You burned me and sent me to hell all the time, but I came back!”
Soon, my curiosity peaked and I asked to speak to the spirit who was acting in my life. So, manifested, the evil spirit told me that he was in my life since I was born, because I had been offered to him. I slept there and left the next day. I kept thinking about everything that had happened.
From then on I became more troubled.
I felt like I was never alone, I sank into depression more and more each day, and nothing ever changed. I looked for answers in psychiatrists and psychologists, but found nothing. I spent sleepless nights playing online games, trying to fill my void and sadness.
I became a zombie. I no longer knew what was real and what wasn’t. I didn’t go out anymore, I no longer lived, nothing made me happy, I didn’t have a reason to live. Until one day, while visiting my mother, I told her that some time ago something inside me changed in regards to the wrong things I was doing. Go out to parties, etc., I no longer wanted to do all of that stuff.
That’s when she invited me to go to Church.
I accepted the invitation and went on Sunday. I didn’t think twice: I just surrendered myself on the altar, I gave my life to God, I stopped doing everything that was wrong, I stopped hanging out with my friends, visiting social networks (Facebook) and, finally, I gave up my job because I knew that it wasn’t doing me any good, all of my old friends were there.
I manifested with evil spirits, and went through an arduous deliverance process, but I determined my deliverance. Thank God, I was freed from depression, illness, and was soon filled with the presence of God. It’s not easy, but it’s possible to those who believe!
Today I am happy, delivered. I only have reasons to thank and serve God! I had an opportunity to come back, but how many people have had that opportunity and despised it? Maybe there won’t be enough time because Jesus is at the door.
That is why I say and confirm what the bishop said: “When you lose your vision, you lose your life.” I know what its like to participate of the heavenly gifts, and it is terrible to lose it, it’s scary because I saw death and Satan face to face .
Take care of your communion with God, and your salvation, because it is the most precious thing you have. What good is it for man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
Think about it!
