It Keeps Us Going Cont'd

Brother Ambrósio’s testimony continued:

Dear Brothers in Christ,

It is a pleasure to tell you more about how the Lord led me to believe this Message.

My name is Ambrósio. I'm 26 years old and not married. I was born in a province located in the north of Angola, and I live in Luanda the capital.

I always criticized harshly the way women dressed in a former Baptist church where I belonged. I always made hard questions to pastors and preachers in that church, but I didn't have any satisfied answer. The only one thing they told me was, "There are hidden things we are not allowed to know." But my heart was permanently seeking for these “Hidden Things,” and my soul was eager to see God. Yes, I really wanted to see God.

I remember when I felt sorry for my sins and failures. I often went to church hoping to hear something from the preacher that could relieve my broken heart. But it always was history after history, so I always went back home the very same person, because the power of transformation was not there.

But one day in the house of a fellow of mine, I had gone to pay a little visit. I saw on his wall a very big picture of the prophet. It looked like the prophet was just staring at me, so I asked my fellow, "Who is that man in the picture?" And he said: "He is my prophet!" So he started telling me all about the prophet, but I was not paying attention at all, because it sounded strange for me to believe in prophets in these days.

After then, that image of the prophet seemed to persecute me everywhere I went. One day I went to the barber to have my hair cut, and the owner of that place was a believer of the Message of the hour. In there, I saw another picture of the prophet sticking on the wall.

And at last, in the school where I was teaching, I realized that a new teacher was contracted to work there. Soon we made acquaintance with each other and became friends. That day he was carrying a brochure in his hands, and what called my attention was once again the prophet's picture on its cover. So I wondered to myself, "I always see this man's picture. Who is he?" I asked my new friend more about the prophet, and he started telling me about the deeds and miracles the prophet performed. He offered me a brochure entitled, "Token."

One night when I was reading "Token, " God spoke to me through that message and revealed to me what that Token was. It seemed like the world was going to finish the next day. I was preoccupied about my salvation that night, and I began to pray and cry. Then I was invited to go to church, to Luanda Tabernacle, where Brother Kamalandua (VGR Office Manager in Angola) is pastor. There I saw different people, a very different atmosphere, something I never felt before, something that corresponded to what I was expecting. I finally said, "This is where I belong." I had at last found the answers to all my questions. I had found Jesus! I had found what I was seeking for, this Message of the hour and Its prophet!

Now I'm glad that I can say, "I was blind, but now I can see." I can see the Seven Seals revealed. I can see God in the human flesh. Oh Glory to the Lord, I am saved!

God bless you all,

Brother Ambrósio
