Dear Bishop,

I’ve set your blog as my homepage. Whenever I have time to browse the Internet, I read your posts.

However, there was one day when I had to do something very important on the Internet, and though I did not have time to read the message, I couldn’t help but notice the title, “Moving forward despite the fear” — it was all I needed to read to take an attitude of FAITH. Only today did I read the post and got the spirit of it. On Saturday, I got the same spirit, but in a different way. I was not afraid to move forward or unsure about what was going to happen, but I had a fear that was being caused by an evil spirit. I knew I had to face that fear, but I did not know how to do it; I did not know the way.

But Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,” and fortunately I figured it out in time.

Yesterday (Sunday) I went to church as usual, for I know how important it is, and despite the many things I had to do, I managed to get home in time to watch your meeting at 6pm (Brazil’s time). That meeting marked a WATERSHED! I surrendered all. I was alone at home, and so I took the opportunity to cry out loud while you were seeking the Holy Spirit, “JESUS, SAVE ME!” I did that repeatedly, several times, as I humbled myself before God.

It was a wonderful experience. A feeling and a day that I will never forget! I have no words to describe how wonderful it is to know that I am precious to God, to describe my encounter with Him. I felt JESUS embracing me at that moment, and He told me something that still brings tears to my eyes as I remember it, “WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG?”

Now, I don’t care about anything else but Him. I’m willing to do anything to be sealed by Him, and nothing and no one, let alone the devil, will stop me. Now I found Him.

On 13th January 2013, I started to follow the Way!
