Ex-witch doctor apologises

The following testimony has led to the conversion and salvation of many souls:
Born in the city of Minas Gerais, Brazil on February 10th 1941, Roseli Silva had a life filled with struggles. Despite having been rejected while still in the womb and handed off to her paternal grandmother at birth, Roseli was a healthy child, always ready to work hard.
She got married at 18 and had 3 children. After some time, Roseli opened her own witchcraft centre and her dedication to evil spirits, whose names are not worth mentioning, increased every day. In addition to witchcraft, she saw, heard and spoke face to face with the self-proclaimed chief of hell.
Although she never charged for her consultations, she continued doing witchcraft for those who sought her help.
Until one day, while watching the news on TV, she saw a story about Bishop Edir Macedo’s arrest. Up in arms, thinking that the bishop was guilty of all charges and acting in bad faith, she decided to conjure a curse to kill the bishop, right there while still in prison. First, she wanted to be certain of what the bishop’s true intentions were, his actions in the past and present and whether or not he was guilty.
If he was guilty, she determined according to her powers of witchcraft, that his death would be ordered to happen within the next 3 hours; if he was innocent, he would be released within the same 3 hours. Her orders were always strictly followed to the T by the devil.
However, something new and very curious happened. The candle she lit would not stay lit. She lit it 3 times and although there was no breeze, it kept blowing out. That’s when the devil appeared and she began demanding answers: “Why doesn’t the candle remain lit and why is the bishop still alive? The demon, known as Lucifer, quickly answered: “I’m not allowed to touch him.”
“What?” she asked. “I can’t touch him,” he repeated. “And why not?” she asked. “He’s a just man. He isn’t at fault,” he answered.
Realizing that there was Someone greater than the one she worked for, Roseli became enraged, but the devil kept talking: “And more, I am here for the last time to give you a message. From now on, I won’t have anything to do with you and when you go to that Church, which I hate, and put on that uniform, I’ll be watching you. But the moment that you slip up, I’ll get you because the thing I hate the most is losing a soul to the Great One.” She replied: “So from now on we are enemies.”
Meanwhile, her assistant called to inform her that the man she placed a death curse on had been released. This is what convinced her of Bishop Macedo’s innocence.
She then asked that justice be done to those who plotted against him.
Wasting no time at all, Roseli got rid of all her witchcraft supplies and utensils and before she knew it, she was in a Universal Church in the city of Goiania. Still not quite understanding what was happening, she says that there were many evil spirits inside the Church, but they weren’t intrepid, giving orders or screaming. She observed that many of them were bound and on their knees, obeying what Pastor Israel commanded.
She noticed one of the head demons flying over the altar around the pastor. She, in her simplicity, began talking to that demon and asked,
“Why don’t you kick him in the mouth for saying these things and getting me tremendously upset.”
He replied: “I can’t.”
“Why?” she wondered.
“He has an empty stomach. He hasn’t eaten or drank anything,” said the demon.
“Even I can knock him down with a simple punch,” she said.
“I can’t touch him because he’s done no wrong. But I know everything he likes and I’m going to put it just outside the church door,” replied the demon, surrounding the pastor in great anger.
Roseli’s deliverance began that day. Through her obedience to the Word of God and the pastor’s counselling, she persevered in getting to know the same God that protected the bishop from her curse. Her deliverance didn’t take long. In a short amount of time Mrs. Roseli was baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit.
Even though she knew that God had forgiven her past mistakes, Mrs. Roseli carried with her the dream of apologizing to Bishop Macedo. God fulfilled her dream and as shown in the pictures. She had the opportunity to personally apologize to Bishop Macedo, whose messages she constantly listens to, and always prays for him and his family.
Today, she is more than happy to use her testimony to win souls for the Kingdom of God. “My life is an example. I came to church sick, addicted to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, a follower of many cults, addicted to Tarot cards, broke, jobless and homeless.
Today I am delivered, healthy, happily married, full of joy and prosperous; Praise God!
Like Mrs. Roseli’s says: “I will never leave The Universal Church. Even if Bishop Macedo decided to leave, which is impossible, I won’t move from here because I know the truth. I know I’m alive because of his and the pastors’ efforts, dedication and obedience to the Word of God.

Dear bishop Macedo,
As the word of God say when we are truly of God, God Himself becomes our defence, you probably had no idea the intention of this woman who were obviously being used by the devil but God did, and as a just man of God
He was fighting your battle for you even though you were not aware, this should truly be an eye opener for many of us, as many times we think God is not there or not answering our prayers, but only because we fail to see the many battles God is fighting for us every second, minute,hour of the day even before they reach us, this year i celebrate 10 great wonderful years in the UCKG through the faith,determination, and devotion of yourself and your family yes there are challenges but i know my God is faithful.Thank you for the photo’s of yourself and your family a great example of a true family from God.

Dear Bishop
God created a human being with his own Image and He loves us, He will always protect us whether we see or we don’t see the battle is not ours but His. When Jesus speaks the demons obey Jesus is the Lord so no child of God will be touched or destroyed because the fire of wall is around us.
This is the greatest testimony for others who are still on the darkness doing witchcraft to repent when time is on their side because the Son of God is coming.

Truly Bishop, you know that the anointing is not only on you, but also on UCKG churchs. When God’s Hands is upon His children, then no devil in hell or on earth will be able to touch them.
I know this blog is your personal blog, but the UCKG church that I attend here in Brooklyn, New York, Pastored by Bishop Bira and his team, great and mighty Spiritual overflow is present.
God bless.

Its ununderstandble how God works but the proof is always there, this proofs the verse that says ‘ If God is with us who can be against us’ There is no doubt that the same hedge of fire that surrounded Job is surrounded you Bishop. I love God more….
