I remember a documentary about the sinking of the Titanic, in which explorers had to send remote-controlled machines down to the seabed. Because of the depth, divers were unable to reach the wreckage. Even the submarine’s hull would have been crushed at that depth.

Interestingly, the camera on the robots did not only show images of the Titanic, but also tiny fish swimming around.

How could that be? The fish seemed so small and fragile, as if they could be torn apart with our bare hands, yet they were swimming at that depth and their eyes were not bulging nor did they show signs of any ill effects from the pressure.

The answer is simple: the pressure inside these fish was greater than the outside pressure at the bottom of the sea.

Now, let’s understand why the doors of the Universal Church have never closed when it faced persecution, defamation, and hatred from the Cains of the world. On the contrary, the Church grew and spread throughout the world.

Let’s understand some things…

– Why is the anger of the Church-haters so ineffective?

– Why are attacks against Bishop Macedo and other bishops, pastors, assistants and members of the Universal Church always unsuccessful?

– Why do we continue to see “servants” leaving the altar, the Church, and even God?

They came to the Church, found healing and prosperity, but the pressure of the world’s temptations was greater than they were.

The “pressure” within us is greater than any opposition, because the Universal Church was formed by the Holy Spirit. The strength to confront and overcome hell itself comes from Him.

When we are born of God and receive the Holy Spirit, our internal “pressure” is greater than the pressure of sin, addiction, pornography, sexual immorality, hatred, envy, etc. Our inner strength is greater than the world’s pressures. With this “pressure”, we become true witnesses of Jesus throughout the world!

God bless you.
