Good morning, Bishop!

Exactly 30 days before the Campaign of Manasseh, I made a vow with God to fast and pray during 30 days, so that He would show me what was needed for me to stop being me because I found myself in the same situation as Jacob: I conquered certain things and my life even changed during the past four years, since I thought I had surrendered my life to God.

But during one of the meetings you do on Sundays, I watched one that aired on TV Universal, God woke me out of the deception I was living. You explained that when a person is unfair, God does not accept anything she does for Him. And financially speaking, I deposited everything on the altar!

Whenever I left the altar, completely dependent on God, I did not understand why I never obtained His promises.

This was when God showed me that He was not receiving my offerings and sacrifices – which I thought were perfect – because my name had been given to two debt collection agencies, I had other debts and I was spiteful to others because I thought ill of people. In other words, I was living a lie, being unrighteous!

Quickly, I repented and told God that if He forgave me, I would change and fix all those problems. He blessed me in such a way; I had never been blessed like that before, and I dove into the Campaign of Manasseh. I truly gave my all.

I no longer think ill of others, I have been delivered from this and I am paying off my debts. God has been blessing me and I am in the faith of Jacob BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT. I am sure this time I will obtain the promises of God. And most importantly: I reclaimed my Salvation, which had been lost!

Thank you for not being afraid to tell the truth – though it may hurt. I am thankful for the Universal Church, which is like a mother whose arms are always open to help those who want help. And I am thankful for all the men and women that have helped me and continue helping me today!

I hope that God does with all the assistants – who find themselves in a similar situation that I was in – what He did with me: He woke me from the sleep of eternal death, so this work can grow even more and be according to the will of God.
