Good afternoon, Bishop!

I have heard many stories about you, but through this book I have come to know the truth. I came from a church that you helped found. Honestly, I had a somewhat distorted idea about your life.

This church closed, the order was given for them to close all of the small churches. So I started attending the closest church, which was the one where everyone falls down. I was honest and asked God to show me the right way. I say this because I also fell in order to receive GIFTS, unaware that every time I fell I was given a demon that enslaved me more and more each day.

My marriage was destroyed, yet I gave other couples advice about their marriage. It was supposedly a “gift” that I had. The problems in my life were tests from God. I was the leader of the women’s group. I fell in love with the pastor. He was the man of God that I wanted for myself, but I knew it was wrong. He was married and his wife had epilepsy; he suffered very much because of her. I thought he and I would win many souls for the Lord Jesus. I never told him, but I’m sure that he knew how I felt.

I struggled, but God always kept me safe. One day, I got over my pride and the baggage I was carrying because of what I had heard about you in the media, on the Internet, and in the 1^st church I attended.

I went to a meeting on Friday, at the Universal Church. I thought that I had the Holy Spirit and was full of gifts, which I had received in the other church. Though I did not manifest, I know I was filled with evil spirits, because I walked out of there that day feeling light and happy, with a peace that I had never felt before in my life. I knew for sure that Jesus was there, and I had found my way.

My husband came to Church with me that same week. We were baptized, because we thought that we already had the Holy Spirit. Within two months, we were already doing the Work of God, because there was a lack of assistants.

Overall, my life actually improved. My marriage was restored. But bishop, I saw you as dishonest, a liar and a thief. I still harbored all of this inside.

Even though I was an assistant of the Universal Church.

I came to Portugal with my husband, we faced many battles, and after 10 years of doing the Work of God, we decided to take care of our own life, which never seemed to progress (after all, everyone’s life was successful except ours). We hit rock bottom, but we never left the Universal Church – we went to Church every Sunday. During the week, we lived our life and did things our way. We lived like this for six years.

About 1 year ago, I participated in a campaign and all the Fasts of Daniel so that God could show me what was wrong, because though I thought everything was okay, our financial life did not change (from the beginning).

The blindfold fell from my eyes and I woke up at the bottom of the pit, where I had always been, the only difference was that now I could see things clearly. I felt the pain of being apart from God, and the emptiness of not having the Holy Spirit. This is when I found out what it really meant to fight. I fought with Satan himself to overcome the accusations of sin, of what I stopped doing, and how he would fool me again when I sought the Holy Spirit.

During that month I suffered many attempt at accidents, but God always delivered me. I prayed, wept, fasted and hell seemed to come stronger.

So, as I watched you preaching on UCKG TV, I heard you say that “NEITHER GOD NOR THE DEVIL COULD INTERFERE WITH MY WILL”. I HAD THE POWER TO CHOOSE. These words were like an atomic bomb to destroy the devil and his doubts.

I assumed my position as daughter, heir of the salvation in Christ, my Lord and Savior, and it was all over.

I was baptized. I received the Spirit of power, love and self-control. I’m an assistant again, but this time it’s to cause some damage in hell, and Satan knows it. And he knows this, that is why he does everything to stop me, but now I know who I serve. And, as a prisoner of Christ, I am free to rescue souls from hell.

My battles increased, but so did my victories.

Thank you for your life bishop. I love you and acknowledge the struggles you had so that I could be here today, giving this testimony.

I hope to help many other people who, like me, have doubts about who you are, and I advise: read the book “NOTHING TO LOSE” so that you can get to know who Bishop Macedo really is.
