Everything was going well. My husband and I were doing great. We got married within three years. We bought a house. We bought cars. I opened up my store. We started remodeling houses. We had the painting company. We were growing really, really fast.<\/big><\/div>\n

 
\nAnd then, within a year or two, everything just started going downhill. I lost my house, then the store, and then I lost the other company. And that’s when I started getting sick. I had a virus in my stomach and couldn’t eat.<\/p>\n

After that, I started getting depressed. I started getting really shaky and sweating out of nowhere. I couldn’t even walk, so I started going to the hospital. The hospital never found anything.<\/p>\n

I used to fight my husband all the time for no reason. I would throw things at him or shout at him.<\/p>\n

I saw spirits. I saw people walking around, all bloody, talking to me, and nobody else could see them. We could hear noises inside the house.<\/p>\n

The lowest point of my life was when I couldn’t eat and couldn’t walk. I lost 40 pounds within a month. I was taking so many pills. And that’s when it really hit me: \u201cI’m dying.\u201d<\/p>\n

My mom came to take care of me, and she learned about the church through the TV program<\/a><\/span>. She got the address<\/a><\/span>, started attending, and took me to church with her. We started going Tuesdays<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Wednesdays<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Fridays<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and Sundays<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I stopped having depression. I no longer needed the pills for depression. I don’t have asthma anymore. God healed me from that. The virus went away. I was able to eat and walk. The panic attacks, the anxiety, one by one, just started to go away.<\/p>\n

After all I went through, I wanted a life transformation. And I knew deep inside of me that only God could give me that. So I thought, \u201cI don’t have anything to lose. I want the Holy Spirit<\/a><\/span>.\u201d So I sought Him with all my mind, heart, and strength.<\/p>\n

\""II had the certainty that the Holy Spirit was inside of me. I was so happy. And after that, I remember that people would come to me and say, you look different. I was able to have self-control.<\/p>\n

My finances are good. We were able to keep the painting company, and now I’m working on an online store. I also have a nonprofit organization. God provided another house for us.<\/p>\n

My family is united: my husband and three kids. We all live together in our home.<\/p>\n

Without God, we cannot do anything.<\/p>\n
