BR: Mrs. Maria Jose? Is that you? Hello.
MJ: Yes, praise God, bishop. But it’s not the same person that called yesterday.
BR: Oh, I thought it was same person because they informed me that Mrs. Maria Jose on the line.
MJ: No, bishop. The one that called yesterday is dead; this one is alive and filled with God’s presence. I felt amazing after you prayed for me yesterday. God has great plans for my life. He’s such a wonderful God that while I was speaking with you on the phone He was listening. He was listening, bishop! And He told that it was time for me to come back to Him.
BR: Did you go to church yesterday?
MJ: Yes, I did. Yes, sir. I was very well received by all of the church members, by my friend, as well as God. I’m sure He is with me. We prayed in agreement yesterday at about 12:30pm; we bound it her on Earth and it was bound in Heaven. Mark my words bishop, God is with me and I’m going to have so many testimonies to tell. You can be sure about that! Bishop, I hadn’t slept for 46 days, since that woman came into my husband’s life. We had been separated for about a year and a half but since that woman came into his life 47 days ago, I couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t eating. I lost about 20lbs. I tried to commit suicide three times. The day I was determined to go out and buy rat poison to kill my daughter and then kill myself, I turned around and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a Bible on top of the dresser. I opened it and read a passage that said, “You will seek Me and find Me”.
BR: But how was the rest of your evening after you left the Upper Room of the Holy Spirit yesterday?
MJ: Pastor Gerald said that he was going to guide me through this and that my battles were now his battles as well. Later that night, he asked someone to call me and make sure that I was all right and had gotten home safe. I fell asleep around 11:15pm and slept straight through the night. I woke up this morning and my eyes were swollen from sleeping so much. All the honor and glory be to God!
BR: I’m going to put part of yesterday’s conversation on the air. Look at the difference from yesterday and today.

Yesterday’s phone call:
BR: Good afternoon Mrs. Maria Jose
MJ: Hi
BR: Hi Mrs. Maria Jose. Why are you crying?
MJ: My life is completely destroyed because I’ve fallen away. It’s been six years since I’ve stopped going to church and I’ve lost everything, everything, everything. My husband left me for another woman and they’re living two blocks away from my house. Now, it’s just me and my daughter. The other day, I almost gave her poison and then drank it myself. I can’t seem to come back to church. I walk by everyday but I just can’t bring myself to go inside. I can’t go inside, bishop. Yesterday, I walked past the church on my way to visit a friend who works at a nearby meat market and who also happens to be a member of the church. I begged her, ‘For God’s sake, please take me to church today’. My life is completely destroyed. I began smoking and drinking, my husband left me for another woman, I’ve tried killing myself, I’m on antidepressants… I had my mind set on going to the cathedral during the 21 Day Fast campaign but I couldn’t bring myself to leave the house. I just couldn’t leave the house. I couldn’t… I haven’t slept in 45 days. I’ve lost about 20 pounds. I’ve tried to kill myself twice. Bishop, I’ve even tried to kill my own daughter, who was a blessing from God through a Campaign of Israel.
BR: Ma’am, place your hands over your heart.
MJ: Yes, sir.
BR: Please close your eyes and allow me to pray for you. ‘In Jesus’ name, I rebuke the spirit that caused her to fall away from the church, all the evil forces that are binding her life, causing her to drink, the spirit of addictions and death, the unclean spirit that’s trying to convince her that her only solution is death. I order you to get out right now. I order the spirit that doesn’t want Mrs. Maria to come back, the spirit that overwhelms her with fear and doubt, the one who always manifests himself when she’s determined to come back to church, get out right now. I bind you and I order you to get out in Jesus’ name. I rebuke the spirit of death from her life, in Jesus’ name, leave and never come back. Mrs. Maria Jose…
MJ: Yes, sir
BR: Take the glass of water in your hands and repeat after me, ‘God is great and the Lord Jesus is by my side. Holy Spirit, bless this water and give me the strength to come back to Your house, in Jesus’ name, Amen’.
MJ: ‘God is great and the Lord Jesus is by my side. Holy Spirit, bless this water and give me the strength to come back to Your house, in Jesus’ name, Amen’.
BR: Please, drink some water and take a deep breath. Have you taken a deep breath?
MJ: Yes
BR: Do you feel better now?
MJ: Yes. I feel lighter. That’s what I needed. I need to come back but I need your help. God bless you bishop.
BR: See you soon Mrs. Maria.
MJ: See you soon bishop, thanks.

BR: Look at that Mrs. Maria

MJ: He… He is grand! God is great. He saved me. He’s the one that gave me the strength to pick up the phone and call you yesterday.

BR: And you’re feeling better today. Right Mrs. Maria?

MJ: I’m feeling marvelous today. Praise God. For Him be the honor and glory. I’m going to do everything that I need to do. I’m going to seek my deliverance. I know that I’m still filled with sins but I’m going to seek my deliverance. I’m going to seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit. I’m never going to leave God’s presence again. Right after I hung up with you, I was certain that I was going to go back. Can you imagine how great it’s going to be for me to give my testimony? Soon, I’ll be able to say that when I came to church I was on antidepressants, my life was destroyed, I tried to kill my daughter and myself, my husband was going to church with another woman… Imagine the day that I walk on the altar holding hands with him and my daughter. Because I believe that will happen. I believe that will happen because God is an Almighty God

BR: Now you’re going to seek the Holy Spirit. Right?

MJ: Yes, yes. I spoke to the pastor about that yesterday. From now on, God’s will be done. I understand that I need to seek Him, obey Him, do His will and seek Him above all things.

BR: Mrs. Maria, I’m pleased to hear that. Congratulations.

MJ: Thank you. God bless you. I’m speaking loud and clear for all those people that criticize the church, just like I used to. I would often avoid speaking to people that I knew went to church. I knew the way but, many times, we allow the devil to convince us to avoid those who can help us. For those who don’t know the Work of God and your looking for a man of God to lead you, you’ll find him at the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. I’d like to say something else, when I came to church 12 years ago, I met a man of God and during these 46 days that I wasn’t able to sleep, I would remember what I heard him preach on the altar. I couldn’t sleep and I would hear the devil say, “kill yourself, kill yourself”. But I would also hear the pastor saying, “God is Almighty, He can do the impossible, He is going to transform your life”.

BR: That’s wonderful. Mrs. Maria remain firm in God’s presence.

MJ: I surely will bishop. Thank you.

BR: God bless you Mrs. Maria.

MJ: God bless you too.

BR: Good-bye
