I abandoned the faith and this is what happened...


At the age of 18 I, who was a member of the UCKG from an early age, decided I no longer wanted to be part of the Church. I wanted to live a different, more exciting life like my friends.

I thought my worldly friends’ lives were more interesting than mine because I was always in Church, and this really overwhelmed me. I began going out to nightclubs, drinking and smoking with my friends. I hardly had time to for schoolwork because I was going out on weekdays too. As a result, I failed that school year.

Often, I would come home late and drunk, always arguing with my mother, who was already a member of the Church.

Once I finished school, I didn’t even think about going to college and becoming a professional; instead, I occupied my free time by drinking all day long.

Though my mother was seeing me self-destruct, she did not give up and made the decision to continue praying for my complete transformation.

Her sacrifice was not in vain.

I finally understood that the void, which had taken over my life, could only be filled by the presence of God, and not with worldly friendships, drinking or parties.

I began staying home on the weekends and spending more time with my mother. I went back to Church and began participating more in the Youth Group. After 10 months, I became a completely changed person. I stopped drinking, changed my behavior, majored in drama and, most importantly, had an Encounter with God.

Born of God and the Supernatural Faith

 The supernatural faith is not a gift or a power given to anyone but for all those born of God, why? Because when we are born of God or born of the Holy Spirit, we automatically bring inside us the pure and genuine essence of God's Nature. This nature is supernatural and is above all things. Therefore, all those who are born of God have authority to do what they want and to conquer what they desire because there's no limit. There is no obstacle that can prevent him from accomplishing what he wants.

     "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
     See the clear definition of faith. It does not leave any shadow of doubt. A person who has it knows that this is the power of the living God inside of him and with this power nothing is able to stop him.
Assistants, you should look inside of youselves and see what type of faith you have. If it's the supernatural one then, it's time to manifest it to change any situation you've been going through and at this time you'll be used by God to set people free from the power of darkness. If you are born of God, you can do great things. Let's go ahead with this faith.

    Just One Prophecy
     Whenever there's faith and sacrifice, then God's prophecy will definitely be fulfilled in your life. See the case of Simon Peter who had worked hard the whole night trying to catch some fish to sell and cover his needs. On that night he caught nothing at all even though he knew how to catch fish. Perhaps, this is your situation today, you've been working hard day and night, waking up very early and going to bad very late, but at the end of the day what have you got? Nothing! How can you change this situation? You need just one prophecy.
     Simon Peter said to them,'I am going fishing.' They said to him, 'We are going with you also.' They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. And He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.' So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish." John 21:3, 6
     The Lord Jesus told them to do one thing, there was only one prophecy, they believed it and did exactly as He told them to do, and the result was far beyond their expectation.
     This is what we do believe is going to happen in the life of all those who are ready to depend on God by sacrificing their all up on the altar, without hesitating. May 11th can become the day in which you will possess what you've been struggling for years and years without accomplish it. Everything depends on you.          If you truly believe in the prophecy and in God's prophets. Then, sacrifice, do what you have never done before and conquer what you've never conquered in your entire life.
     On May 11th., don't come by yourself, bring someone who is suffering with you.
