Hello! I just want to thank you for these messages of faith, which have helped me a lot—and will certainly continue to help. I have suffered a lot in my marriage but today, thank God and the UCKG, I will celebrate 25 years of a happy marriage with a transformed husband. I’ve learned to forgive. Not only did he have many lovers, but he also had 3 other wives. I’ve also been delivered from hatred and resentment.

I tried to kill myself. One of his lovers was an old friend of mine, and one day, God brought her to the Sunday morning service to ask me for forgiveness. She hugged me and I was able to forgive her as though I had never seen her in my entire life. That was a glorious experience for me; I felt great. I say this with joy, to glorify the LORD JESUS.

My encounter with God is the most important thing to me. And He has promised me that as long as I remain in Him, I will never suffer again. This is my biggest treasure.

You know dear friend, many times I left the church knowing that my husband was using drugs, drinking, going out with other women, and I would take solace in the messages of faith that you and your father write. I would feed from this faith and trusted that I would destroy the one that was destroying me. You have no idea of how important these messages are to us.

Today I can thank you from the bottom of my heart. Give your father, Bishop Macedo, a big hug for me, and tell him that I am grateful for everything. I can say that I am a living testimony of God’s power.

A big hug!

Marisa
