Good afternoon, Bishop!

I’d like to tell you about an amazing miracle that happened to us. It was a miracle of life, of coming back from the dead. Just like Lazarus, God brought my husband back from the grave. He came back to life after four days.

On November 21st, after becoming very ill my husband was admitted to a hospital here in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. After an examination doctors discovered that he had meningococcemia, a serious, life-threatening infection of the bloodstream. They gave him 24 hours to live. When I heard these words, I rushed to the Cenacle of the Holy Spirit, took an envelope for the Campaign of Israel, knelt at the altar and cried out to God for my husband’s healing. He was in the ICU, on a respirator, in a coma, and covered with sores, while I was manifesting my faith on the Altar. I felt strengthened when I left, and visited him every single day with the certainty of an answer to my prayer. The doctors daily told me not to hope for his survival, but I rejected all of their words.

Then on the fourth day, just like happened with Lazarus, the doctors told me that my husband had miraculously begun to react, and that they had not expected this at all. One of the doctors even said that he had not expected him to be alive when he arrived for his shift.

You know, bishop, throughout that difficult time I encouraged the doctors much more than they encouraged me. The strength that the Altar gave me was so great that I simply could not accept losing. And he came back to life, bishop. He woke up from the coma, and all his doctors expected him to be left with side effects of what happened. But, not at all! The God I serve does not leave anything halfway done, and today he came home… whole… to glorify and honor of God.

Thank you God, thank you UCKG, thank you Bishop, for teaching me not rely on my feelings – but to bulldoze through my problems, to win, to revolt, to refuse defeat and act out my faith.

God bless you!
