My name is Pamela. I am returning to the church after over seven years.

I was educated in the church, but because I wanted to live my life without any rules and responsibilities. I left and paid the high price with pain and much suffering.

After many years of being away, I was able to attend the last Godllywood meeting and I can honestly say that there was a Pamela before, and after.

My biggest problem had always been pride, which in turn, bought along haughtiness and arrogance. And so, this had gone on until that day.

I left my house thinking that I would hear everything I already knew about the Bible, that the meeting would add nothing to me. I thought that I was already an exemplary wife and a wise woman. It bothered me deeply to hear another woman preaching and telling me how I should act.

As I kept on hearing the word, I got smaller and smaller in my chair. I looked around and concealed my discomfort so that no one would notice. I was finally recognising that things were not going as well as I had imagined. I held back my tears at certain moments. My countenance changed. I recognised my mistake, my shortcomings and insignificance. At the end of the meeting, my shame was greater than my pride. I was not as perfect as I had imagined.

When I got home, I went into every room in the house. What was funny was that just two hours before, I hadn’t noticed anything wrong previously and now, nothing seemed to be right.

I cried a lot. It was very painful and difficult to start over. I arrived at that meeting a girl and came back a wife, mother of two. I was one person when I left my house, but four people when I returned.

I just really wanted to share the external change that happened a day after our meeting. It was three days of hard work and everything is in the way that pleases the Holy Spirit. My heart is willing. I need to kill my pride before it kills my faith.

Now, I am hungry to hear and thirsty to learn. I just wanted you to know that just a word that came from your mouth, most likely changed my life and that of my family forever.

For every criticism that you receive, there is also a soul that is being impacted by the Holy Spirit in their lives.

You might not even know this, but you have often been my best friend.

God bless you.

With love,

Pamela Beatriz

PS – By the way, my change was so great that my husband started attending the Universal Church. On the 9th February, he was baptised in water. I am overflowing with joy ❤
