The father was overwhelmed by his son\u2019s situation and used alcohol to cope with his problems. His alcohol addiction lasted nearly 25 years.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">The son was locked up in a room for five years because of his severe depression. He would only leave his room to eat and drink. Due to his low self-esteem, he began to have suicidal thoughts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">One day the son tried to commit suicide and was unable to. That is when he decided to watch the tv. Surfing through the channels, he came upon <a href=\"https:\/\/watch.ulfn.org\/featured-category\/videos\/24-7-stream-1\">LFN<\/a>. He said, \u201cIf I go to that church and nothing happens, I\u2019ll just stay the same way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">The son decided to come to <a href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\">The Universal Church<\/a> and went to a Friday service of deliverance. He was delivered from depression which he had for five years, low self-esteem and no longer has suicidal thoughts. The son invited his father to attend, and the father also saw changes in his life. Now the father has stopped drinking alcohol and is happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">The father says, \u201cI feel great and proud of my son, and through him, I found the church.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">Today they are happy and filled with the presence of God.
