Bad eyes

to read the video transcript click below

What is your name?
– Paul
Bishop, when I first came to the conference my company was almost going bankrupt
And it eventually did
After that, I had two more businesses that went bankrupt
Although I was attending the meetings on Monday

Even though you came the meetings on Mondays?
Yes, even though I was coming

Why?
Because I was a person who had bad eyes
Even though I came to the meetings, I thought that everything spoken here was to take the people’s money
To take advantage of the despair… of the anxiety the people found themselves in
And with that, my life went from bad to worse because I saw things with bad eyes

Do you know why?
Today, I’m sure you know why
– Sure, yes I do
Jesus said…
I’m not the one who said it
When your eyes are bad, your whole body is full of darkness
How can you come here
To a place of light
To a place where the Word of God is being preached and have bad eyes
You will leave here worse than when you first came
Because you will be filled with darkness
Not because there is darkness here
But because your eyes are bad
That is what was happening with you
So even though you came, things got worse

Just so you have an idea, I was in Church for 8 years in this situation
8 years…
I felt like the biggest loser
Everything I touched went wrong

How did your life change?
First, how did you change your bad eyes?
Because, I imagine, that you must first change that

It changed because our life starts going in a downward spiral
Then you start seeing your family going through difficult times
Your wife telling you that there is no money to buy milk for your daughter
That’s when you understand that there is something very wrong
Until one day, I broke down and said: There is something wrong with me
I need to change my behavior
I need to change my way of thinking
That was when I started seeking to have an encounter with the God that was preached in the Monday meetings
and I realized how wrong I was
and I began to change my attitude
and that is when I had an idea
and with this idea I started the business I have today, in the kitchen of my house
I have a cosmetics industry
I didn’t know how I was going to make them
but I’m a chemist and so I started drawing up the formulas
I used the kitchen of my house as a laboratory
and developed these products
How I was going make them… How I was going to manufacture them…?
– I did not know
That was up to God
Then, because of this idea, I started, step by step, having an experience with God
I started to come here and listen to everything that was said
Because, the truth is that
God made man full of intelligence, ability, etc.
But if the person remains in darkness…
If he is afraid…
If he is anxious…
If he comes here only thinking about making money
Or receiving a blessing…
And he only focuses on that, he becomes limited
They have everything to succeed
To make things happen
but he’s focusing on something that limits his ability

after you changed your focus, what changed in your life?
How is your life today?

Now I have a blessed business
I run a one of a kind business

You got out of your kitchen?

Just look at the kitchen I’m in today
Like I always say: I have a first class kitchen
I have a very well manufactured industry
God taught me not to be a person who improvises anything
Everything is first class: the equipment, the building
everything we make, everything we do…
everything is to portray the greatness of God
I don’t know of another place where we can learn about this
And get the guidance to build something like this and rebuild our life like we do on Mondays
I don’t know of a better place than this to make it happen

Thank you very much
God bless you
Keep in the faith
