Sentimental Success

Immediate relief!

Ground preparations for the construction of the Temple have begun. Currently, they’re preparing the foundation by removing rocks and dirt from the grounds. It’s hard work that requires time, patience and perseverance.



The same applies in the construction of the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is you. God's thoughts replace yours (dirt and rocks), leaving space to build up your faith. Obviously, this requires time, patience and perseverance. However, there must be a starting point to this Work. And that can be now.



Traumas from your past are added to the problems of the present. This heavy burden neutralizes your strength. It's as if you're stuck and completely helpless before the world. Many have given up and allowed themselves to be swept away by life’s strong currents. Others have even considered suicide.



If this is how you find yourself at this time and you’re determined to find an answer, here’s what you should do: go to the bathroom or a quiet place, close the door, kneel down and quietly speak to God.

"I know that I’m not worthy of You, oh Lord.

But You said: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28



I've been weary and burdened and need relief, now. If You really exist and that promise really came from Your mouth, then, in Jesus’ name, answer me now!"



Then, don’t say anything else. Just wait a minute for the answer. The Shadow of the Almighty will counsel you and when you get up, your life will never be the same.

Bishop Macedo

40 Days or 40 Years?

The time promised by God for the people of Israel to take possession of the promised land was of just forty days but it ended up taking forty years, why? When God promises to do something in our life is because He is ready for that and no one better than Him knows that if we are blessed He will be glorified but when we prevent Him from doing what He has already planned for us then problems will be inevitable that was what happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they should have crossed the desert in forty days they took forty painful and tearful years, what did they do? They simply put into practice what they had in their mind, their own thought, they decided to follow the impulse of their flesh and as a consequence they got totally lost in the wilderness; that’s what we have seen to happen to many people inside and outside of the church, how many of them come to church and hear the word of God and promptly agree with what is preached but right after the meeting is over most of them forget what they were told by the man of God? They leave the church and it seems that they are running for their lives.

The truth is, if we don’t follow what the Holy Spirit brings to us there’ll be no way to bless and change our life, who can please two masters at the same time? Or you please God by doing what He wants us to do or you please yourself by doing what you have in mind, exactly like the children of Israel did and it took them forty years of their lives and during those forty years many people died and could not enter the promised land, they saw the blessing but could not possess it.

We are in all the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God praying, persevering and crying out everyday in all services because we do believe that during these forty days God will do great things in the life of those who are listening to what we pastors are preaching those who are following not their own ideas but what they are learning from the Holy Spirit, we all have the opportunity of conquering our victories within forty days, God doesn’t change nor lie if He said “Ask you shall receive” is because if we really ask with faith we’ll receive, God will never tell us to do something in which He is not going to honor. So, the secret for you overcome your problems and change your life is to do exactly as the Holy Spirit has been telling you through the men of God, don’t try to do what is in your mind or what you hear from other people it may cost your whole life and what you should conquer in forty days it may take forty years.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6.7

The Holy Spirit Intercedes For us

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8.26

To have the Holy Spirit is like to have a good lawyer at the court room in the Day of Judgment, someone who knows exactly what to say to defend his client, as the verse above mentions the Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. Many people unfortunately have no idea why many of their prayers have no answers, no result is just because they don’t know how to ask, how to approach God in a correct way in order for them to receive what they need.

When we have the Holy Spirit and allow Him to act in our life He is able to intercede for us and without a doubt we will definitely receive the answer for any request we may make because no one better than Him knows what we need and knows we don’t ask as we should, that’s why, we ask but do not receive as He says, “You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss,…”James 4.2,3

If you don’t have the Spirit of God dwelling inside of you yet then you should seek for Him daily and He will intercedes on your behalf before God for sure He has the answers to your prayers and on November 25^th you will have enough reasons to raise up your hands to give thanks to God.
