Good morning!

I want to share the experience I had last Wednesday, the 10^th. I’ve been a member of the Church for 20 years, but there were still some bad things about me: my nature, my bad temper, and so forth. Things that, even though I had already asked the Lord for forgiveness, were still there. Because they were in me, and the truth was that I had not been born of God yet.

I had even sent some previous emails to vent about personal things, and I would like to thank you for responding. The advice that was given to me opened my eyes, I was awakened!!

On Wednesday, I went to Chelas – Portugal, and when the bishop called forward those who had not truly sacrificed yet, I went. With all my mistakes and flaws, with everything that is bad, I went to the altar, because I had not sacrificed everything, this is the naked truth.

I do not know if you were able to attend this meeting, but the moment when the bishop told us not to pray, because he was going to pray for us, I had my eyes closed, and something invaded my heart with such a force that I cannot explain: an immense peace, a fire, love, a repentance for my evil and disgusting past.

I don’t know how to explain it… I think of that moment every day. When I opened my eyes and looked around, I was another woman, another person, it’s unexplainable…

I was not worried about speaking in tongues, like the bishop advised us, but the truth is that the peace continues. A great peace, joy, certainty; now I am sure the Holy Spirit is within me.

But, you know, I must confess that from time to time, evil thoughts and doubts come back: “Is it true?”

However, before God, I will not allow these thoughts and doubts to take over my being. No way, never again!

Because I have not been the same since that night, and will never be, for the glory of my Lord!

Best wishes,

Sandra.
