Hello, Bishop!

I have been a member of the UNIVERSAL Church for 14 years, and the first five were the best years of my life. The reason for this is that I gained my life back after being delivered from the many evil spirits that imprisoned me.

I was delivered from insomnia, nightmares, addictions, suicidal thoughts, nervousness, etc. I was baptized with the Holy Spirit and became an assistant, because I loved to save souls for Jesus.

Well, I went to work in a beauty salon and there was the beginning of my downfall, because I sat in the seat of the scornful. I developed friendships and became distracted by these people. Without realizing it, I stopped reading the Bible, I stopped fasting and didn’t go to Church as often anymore.

During the first five years, which were the best years of my life, I never had bad eyes, I didn’t have eyes for men, I never thought of giving up. All I cared about was winning souls.

When I turned away from sacrifice, the devil took advantage, and I FELL.

It was terrible!

I was ridiculed, humiliated, abused… I fell away. I thought that I had returned, and that everything was fine.

Over the past 10 years, I returned to the Work of God a few times, but I noticed that it was no longer the same. It was easy to come back, but it was easy to fall away too. When I returned, I realized that nothing had changed in me, and I hadn’t been baptized with the Holy Spirit yet. For this reason, I continued sinning, then felt remorse and thought that I had repented. I was immensely sad.

Despite being so weak at times, I realize that I have a calling to do God’s work as an assistant. Today I am an evangelist, but I have prayed the following: “May the Lord’s will be done always!”

Well, back to the subject of repentance, I learned a lot during the meeting on May 12, at 6pm, in which you made the following prayer: “God plant true repentance in the hearts of those who once had You, but turned their back on You.”

I did not understand the importance of the need for a true repentance, and I believe that many fall away because they haven’t truly had a pure repentance. Everyone thinks I achieved things easily.

You know what Bishop, you have been God’s messenger in my life. God has answered all of the questions that I have asked Him. So I’ve realized that I’m being honest – and I really am. Today SALVATION is extraordinarily important to me, because I’m sure of my salvation!

May God bless you greatly!

Bishop Macedo, I was blind.

Though I have been a member for many years, I was blind.

A blind tithe and offering giver.

A blind assistant.

A blind husband.

A blind businessman.

Everything I did hurt me and those around me.

Blind to read the Bible and charge God the fulfillment of His promises, yet not see them being fulfilled in my life.

I was BLIND until yesterday.

Now I SEE.

I SEE why my life has not progressed, has not moved forward.

Everything I did went wrong. Why is that? The INJUSTICE I’ve been committing by not being a good payer.

On Sunday (19^th) morning, while you preached and prayed, the LIGHT OF THE JUSTICE OF GOD came and enlightened my conscience, showing me why my life has not progressed like the “TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS.” Jeremiah 17.7-8

I asked for forgiveness and received it.

I will clear my name and pay off everyone that I owe money to, and I’ll never do that again.

I will fulfill my word, and I know that God has fulfilled His, when He used you to say: “Starting today, God is going to bless the lives of the people of the Universal Church.”

I thank God for your life.

May God keep you safe and alive to see His glory in all the earth.
