Hello, Bishop! It is with great happiness that I am sharing my testimony, like I promised God.

My name is Jenniffer, and I am 16 years old. I began doing the Work of God when I was 14 – 2 years of my life that I lost…

When I was among the other assistants, I felt like a fish out of water. I felt different from them, I didn’t feel as bold as them and I wasn’t able to be strong because their strength comes from God. I knew there was something strange going on with me, and I even asked for help, but it wasn’t very sincere. I would always hear that doubts came from the devil, so I tied up these thoughts and moved on. But there were many doubts, and many fears. I felt awkward during the deliverance meetings, but I thought: “I’m probably just nervous about having to rebuke demons”.

I was always very helpful. The truth is, I thought that if I was doing everything right, then it was good enough. But it wasn’t. And I always questioned: “This is not normal, was I truly born of God?” And again: “It’s tied up, these thoughts are from the devil!” Little did I know that there was a spirit of deceit in me… I didn’t sin, so why wasn’t I born of God? This topic began coming up a lot during the meetings. For a while now, our leaders have understood that there are many people who think they were born of God, but they really weren’t.

When you said: “Maybe it all started with a lie, like Jacob…” Yes, Bishop, I know that is what happened with me. I felt better, my life was stable, I stopped doing worldly things, so when the pastor asked if I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, I said yes. Then when he asked if I spoke in tongues, I said yes. But I knew that I didn’t. However, I really wanted to be an assistant. Today I understand why I wasn’t able to overcome the insecurities, fears, and everything else. Only those who are born of God can overcome. But I am sharing my testimony because yesterday oooooooooooooh what a day!

I finally understood that I needed to be humble and acknowledge the truth. When you called us to the altar (those who wanted to make a true sacrifice), and I went – because, truth is, the money was already gone, but I was lacking a true surrender, a confession that I was not of God, I was just posing as a helpful assistant – when I returned to my seat, I got on my knees, and God came down upon me and removed the deceiver. When you said: “God never gave up on you…” There was such joy in my soul!

Bishop, I don’t know if I was able to explain it very well, but I would like other assistants, who may find themselves in the same situation, read this and be sincere and humble themselves, and God will make them be born of Him.
