My name is Vilma Laubelino de Sousa and I was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the nicest cities, known as the capital city of the Brazilian Carnival because of its contagious Samba rhythm and the popular sport of soccer.
In my country, most of the people believe, or practice one form of spiritism. And this has been since the very times of its colonization, when slaves were brought from Africa with their cults and tribal gods. Among these slaves, came my grandmother who was born in Angola. In these current times, there is an even stronger attraction for the occult than ever before through books, soap operas, and films where this topic is introduced in a very subtle way; for example ,"The Exorcist", "Friday the 13th", "Nightmare on Elm Street", and "Poltergeist", etc. I have experienced various occult encounters for many years so I can understand a lot of what is represented in these films and books that are spread to the public. I offer you now my testimony, and hope with all of my heart that it will help you to know the only true God who can save us from the power of darkness and transfer us to the kingdom of His only beloved Son. So I invite you to consider this as I share my experience with you.
(Interview with Vilma)
Q: Vilma you are a famous person in all of latin america, taking the Gospel to many important people that are involved in the black magic arts, what were the circumstances that made you get out of black magic and follow Jesus Christ?
A: All the training that I received over 22 years, I lived a life dedicated to the evil spirits that helped me. The sects of witchcraft that are popular my country, Brazil, and many others are as follows: "Umbanda", "Candomblé", and I had come to the highest level called "Quimbanda" which is a branch of black magic. At the point of my practice when I had a troubling experience, I noticed that something was going wrong, and I can tell you that although I did not look for God He looked for me.
Q: I have understood that since the moment you were born and during all your childhood, your life was devoted to the occult, witchcraft, and the spiritism.
A: That's right, I descend from Africans, and for many, many generations magic was practiced in my lineage. On the day of my birth, my grandmother, who was a witch, dedicated me to the spirits; the same spirits that possessed her body since she knew that the time of her death was coming. So, from the time I was born, I was offered to these spirits.
Q: Can you explain the night where things changed in your life?
A: From the morning of that day, I woke up with a strong feeling that was overwhelming me; a horrible fear. It was a feeling that someone was looking at me and I was very scared. This evil spirit's presence always can be identified with a uncontrollable fear that can't be explained. However, there was something even more strange in my house. No one was home, and I was running from place to place looking for my mother or my sister, when I saw a dog, a black german shepherd, and to my suprise, the dog stared at me and began to talk to me, with an audible male voice, these were the first signals through the prince of darkness contacted me, it happened a serie of factors until the time that he took control over my life totally.
-That spiritual phenomenon was repeated several times? or there were others?
- I began to see things, and hear noises, and I can say that I had been living like been the central character of a terror film, because many times they have asked me: Which one were them?, and I answer them: "all of them", all forms that you can imagine: "night terror", daily visions, I heard steps, noise, voices, and I saw people, they could materialize and I could see them like I am looking at you now, my eyes were open, I never saw things with my eyes closed, most of the times in the nights happened these things, until it took the atention of my family, so they began to take person at home that did "works" on me, and the purpouse was to "educate" this spirits, because they hit me very strong, they pulled my hair, they threw me from the bed in the nights, and some times they hit me in the face, I was always shaking of fear, I tried to cry out "help!", but my voice did not came out, it was like if I was in the middle of a epilepsy attack, and when I wanted to shout and just could not move, is like my body was totaly rigid, and I was just totally powerless to any of these manifestations.
When I was 7 years old, they took me back to my grandmother, because any of the others person of "spiritual lower cathegory" could "educate" or "adjust" those entities. So I remember one night, it was like a nightmare , I will remember that night, they dressed me, and put me before a table with a tablecloth and on the table it was full of sacrifices, people were clapping, I could heard guffaws and very loud shouts from the spirits, people were clapping and dancing, and in that moment I was being confirmed as a successor of my grandmother, and I was very scared looking to my mother, but she made me to stay there very quiet, because everything was necessary, I was told that I was predestined to be a priestess. The things and manifestations attenuated but just temporaril midwhile I could begin to serve, because I could not begin to serve because of my age, I was to young to begin, and to arrive to the level. Then I began in "Unbanda", a branch that is mixed with "white magic", but in the reality this white magic hide very strong things, very dominant, things that can destroy a person for all eternity, there they invoke spirit of dead people, spirits of the air, spirits of the mountains, spirits of the jungle, spirits of the sea, but behind of all these ones and in all this brach, all these spirits that began to take control of my body it was hidden just one single person, and this person I found at the end of the way.
When I was 13 years old, I come to a second sect that predominate in my country "kambomble". This sect is almost known in the hole world, they work a lot with psychic powers, the control of the mind, like ufs's messages, they work with control over the personality, emotional control, political control, financial control, through this Kambomble, when I arrived there looking for the answers to my problem it happened something really weird, there was a very big temple with priests, and I got close to one to ask him the questions about my problem, but when he saw me, and felt my presence getting closer he made a gesture took out a towel, and bowed down before me. After that I lose the consciousness, when I woke up, it has passed already a full night, my mother looked at me very suprised and asked me :"Don't you feel anything?". I answered: "no, I don't feel anything", and she told me :"My daughter! a prince has enter into your body!", I began to drink a lot of liquor, and smoked a lot of cigars and I was just 13 years old.
- Your parents, what was behind them?
- Yes, my mother was a witch just like my grandmother, and my father didn't belive in anything, he was atheist. Around the age between 9 and 10 years old some paranormal phenomenons happened to me also, in the same school, midwhile I I was in the school studying a entity came into my body which is not normal. If someone that is reading this knows the levels and spiritual hierarchy knows that never a practising of "Umbanda"can have manifestations of the "cientific spiritism", but this spirit came into me, even if I did not want to, I did not want to do it, but my hand moved alone. And once the teacher came and took my notebook and said to the rest: "You see? why this girl can not lear anything?". So I was very frustrated, I wanted to say to her: "it was not me! it was not me! the one that did this!", but it was my notebook with my own legible letters, it was a draw: the figure of a man and a signature down the page, the figure was satan, and the signature said: "I am the demon of the midnight". After that they took me to a church to make me an exorcism, but it was while listening a catechism when the things became worse, when the lady spoke about God, a God that has created everything, a God that was in heaven, a God that loved good people, because you know? then I began to look into myself, because even if I was very young, I had already a very wide overview, I could understand, I was all the time examining everything, and midwhile she was talking I was looking inside my life. I am the 4th black daugther, I am daugther of a woman that has european roots married with a man of african roots, and I was the only one that inherited all the black characteristics, so nobody never could believed that I was daughter of my mother, I suffer in my own skin the conflict between the races, between the culturs and the societies. Always the people asked to my mother if I was her servant, my brothers sometimes made fun of me they told me that my mother had found me outside the door of the house, you are not her daugther, and all this created inside me some hard feelings such as rejection, I felt kind of upset, like a mental imbalanse, I felt my self lower, I thought why I was so different, I just could not understand it. And when I heard that God had created everthing I didn't like that. Because I said: if he created everything why He made me so different. There where I was in the district where I lived, there lived rich people, and also educated people, the people from the elite and the white people, and not everybody liked me. The people can not imagine how much they can hurt a child when they look bad to him or her, but I could note that almost nobody liked me. And when I heard about God, I arrived home and asked my father: "who is God?". My father answered me hitting his pocket in the pants: "god my daughter, is the money in the pockets for those who have it".
The years passed, and I remember that one night I woke up, and there infront of the door it was man dressed in black, and his shadow was over my body, and I could see that shadow was like a being, and I could see his form but never his face. One of those nights I took courage and asked him: "Who are you?". And from the midst of that figure came a male voice, a hoarse voice and said: "I am the devil". And I alwasy lost my senses and the consiousness. So since I arrived to the "Kambomble" sect new spirits began to take control over my body, because nobody is borned as a witch is a hole path that a person must follow, as I told from the beggining you have to start looking people that can "help" you to "educate" those spirits so they can become "good". So when I got involved with this "kambomble" new spirits came and from there I began to have moral problems, not just psicological problems but also communication problems, a huge hate was born inside of me against my family, against the society. I began to involve with people of the worse type, with gangs, and people that drank a lot, in some way I wanted to hurt the society, I wanted to hurt my white mother, I wanted to hurt everyone, and I thought that one day I was going to have so much power inside my body that I was going to destroy the whole world.
In this road I passed through everything you can think and imagine, but deep inside I think now that I was looking for an answer.
After I had already done a lot of evil, after I had been working for so many people even very important people in my country, one day I knocked the door of the very black magic. There they gave me a black dress to use, and it was made a meeting with closed doors, the place was all black and dark, and in that place it was invoqued the "lord Lucio", the prince of all spirits that were having place in the whole spiritism branches. That was also a very stange night of my life, because as a clairvoyant that I was, as I told you I never saw any spirit with the eyes closed, just with the eyes opened, spirits made themselves visual before me many times, and then I heard a fuss and noise so I turned around and see, and I saw everybody with their faces on the ground, with a white candle and a red candle, a black magic session was about to start, suddenly I saw a men comming in, it did not have any tail or horns, it was very beautifull to see, but everytime he put his eyes into my eyes, it was like if my body began to have attacks, and like if I lost the feeling like if I was anesthtized, and when I saw he manifested in a woman, a woman that was the main witch in that place, and he came using a golden crown, a black dressn and a dagger and a trident were in his hands, and he came direct to me and told me: "You!, I chose you since you was born, and I want you to make an eternal pact with me".
- I understand that, there are levels inside the black magic, I would like to know until which level you arrived?
- Yes, the spiritism has a lot of levels, there are some that just go for curiosity, there are some that comes because they need something, and then you beggin to compromise with the spirit, this means that the person ask for a favour, then you are compromised because if you recive something from the spirit you become a "debtor", then a sacrifice is required, an offer, and there are scales and levels, until they ask for your same soul, but this last one is the higher level, in this cults they have dances, songs, clapping. In my case I arrived to the last level, because he declared himself that he had chosen me.
Today I glorify God, because if this Lucio told me that he had chosen me from y birth to take an important place in the witchcraft in Brazil, the word of God tells me that Jehova has chosen me even BEFORE, I was in the womb of my mother.
In that day everybody looked at me and treated me with a lot of respect, because I had a lot of power, I could influenced people, I was always making works through revelation, and a sorceress acts a lot by their own faith and own convictions. Theoricaly I didn't know to much of the spiritism, everything was inside me, you know what I mean?, inside my mind happened everything, I thought:"It has to be this or that, it has to happend this or that", it was not myself any more, Lucio or Lucifer was in my mind. Then you can touch a family, you can change a man in an homosexual, I have seen that many times, a home can be destroyed, a business, a goverment, a goverment can be destroyed or can be restored also, all this things are made with black magic. After short time my country was involved in a row wroldwide level, when it was known that a republic president practiced the black magic. But this is not a secret any more, millions and millions of people in the whole earth try to use the OCULTISM, and get involved in all kind of spiritism branches or witchcraf to find the answers for their problems, there is a spiritual lack of control in men in these days, there is a lot of ignorance that is leading to people to any kind of door. We have a saying that says:" All door take you to a sell", but not all the ways take you to the truth.
There when I had come to the highest level, I thought that I have arrived to the "satuts", I have been preparing my self so much, and I had made promisses to my self that I was going to become the biggest priestess of the whole country, and from there I began to ask my self what was the level that I was in that moment, why my influence was always negative, I always could hurt a person even my father and mother, when I got tired of the person, I just looked at the person and in my mind I gave them orders, that is called telepathy, and I simply said to the mind of the other person:"You will get sick right now", and I saw the person sick, many times I hurted a lot of persons, sometimes I just did not understand this forces. My mother used to tell me: "you are like the devil". And I just laughed in her face, I just said there is no devil, the devil does not exist, because, can you belive that a person that practices this things does not have a real understanding or a real knowledge of what is the kind of spirit that the person is dealing with. I always thought that this spirit was an avenging, a friend, a person that made me favours, and that he hit me and punished me because he was my owner and my lord that had powers over me, but also a person who I can get spiritual favours from, and also who I can recive favours through, and have also control over certain situations.
There in the black magic you find very important people, artists, politicians, very famous people looked for us, some of them are very famous today they are very well known people, and sadly they go looking after the temporary glory of the fame, and everything that the world offers today, all these things are in the feet of Lucius, the prince of the demons, that is there in Brasil.
- Was there in any moment an economical motivation behind this practices?
-Of course!, it was very expensive, the part of the sacrifices inside the magic, this jobs where it is involved a sorceress and a higher spirit costs a lot of money, and not everybody can pay that price, and of course the sorceress recive his part of the money, but is like a bad without bottom, today you can recive a lot but tomorrow you don't have anything, but is like a lanscape that you see, but that is just an optical ilusion, this person that want this kind of jobs they give everything, they give gold, they give jewls, or anything that is asked for, but sometimes the spirit says: "I give you with one hand, but I take away from you with both". This made me begin to question. But something happend once, one night in the middle of a sesion, a person came to look for us to ask us to kill a christian woman, a evengalic christian woman. That is the first time in my life that I head the word Gospel or evengelical.
This woman went inside of a black magic cult, she said that this evangelical persons where our number one enemies of the spiritism cause, and that because of the evangelical christians the world could not be ruled by the avenging prince Lucius, so it was our duty to fight them, and ashame them and destroy them always if posible.
And when this woman came to ask to kill her christian neighbor, she began to describe the character of this woman, she was claiming the life of this woman to Lucius, I was working as her secretary in that moment, this woman said: "she is always praying to her God, she is always glorifying her God, she is always singing praises to her God, she does not worship the virgins, she said that our spirits are demons, and she dares to declare that she will go to heaven, and I was listening everything that this women said and I thought to my self: !good! I will learn all this and then I will destroy all the people! the evangelicals. But when the prince himself extended his hands and said: "that is enough! stop! do not ask me to do nothing! agains this woman, she has an Spitit higher than mine who I can not make anything against Him!.
There I began to question and think: "Who can be this superior and higher spirit that the evangelical has??".
In that moment because I had never heard nothing about the Gospel or the church, then in that moment I thought : "ok, then, the christians are the worst of the witches!". Because agains them not even our higher prince of the spirits can do nothing!".
But today when I have known the Truth and the Truth has set me free, now I know the secret of the evangelicals. Each one of this little ones, maybe they do not know even how to write or read, or maybe they are ignorant, or even if they are studied, no matter!, they have washed their clothes in the precious blod of Jesus, they are living under more than 8000 promisses of God written in the Bible , the word of God.
When the time passed I tried to get apart, when I was involved in the dead of a businessman. I can tell you that we hired spirits, just in the same way that you can hire a gang, or a professional killer, in the same way it works with the black magic, a spirit of death is invoked, and it is given a pay to him, and also offers are given to him, sacrifices of animals, and the person is also sacrificed as if the person was an animal, and that is the pay that you give to the demons.
And when I was assisting, the prince answered to the man, I will kill any person when I am PAYED for it, then I began to think:"Will he kill me if they pay him?", so then I again began to think about all that. But then I also thought : "But I am devoted since my birth! practising these things".
I came back to my house, and I said to my mother: "Mom, I never never again I want to pratice any form of magic".
And you know, it is very important a personal desition.
- And did you realized in any moment that what you were doing was wrong?
- All the things I did they worked better for bad things, the people came to me desperated and crying, telling me about their problems and situations, and it was always a spirit of conflict, this means that, a person came and told me: "I have a problem, I do not understand". And then you blamed the neighborn, we said, yes there is a person that is doing something bad to you, and things like that, then they immediatly begin to look for someone, and that is the begging of everything, this is always the way that the "macumba" works, that is practiced in the whole Brazil and in the whole world.
- Vilma, we have already heard your story, we have already heard a lot of shocking testimonies, very strong for some people, but tell us how it was the moment of your converstion, the moment in which you gave your life to Jesus Christ.
-Well, I began to take away all the objects of my works, I had altars, and all the objects that we use to manipulate the people through the spiritism, I took them all and threw them in a river, thinking that if I got rid of the external things I would be ok, not thinking that the bad things and spirits were inside of my body. So after I threw this things and I just had come back home, there he was face to face and then he pointed right to my nose, and I will never remember the hate he had for me, and I felt just so helpless everytime he got close and told me: "you are mine, nobody that belongs to me, leave me in the way that you are thinking because I am the devil, my name is Lucifer, I am satan your owner, and if you are thinking in leave me I will take you to hell".
And you know that I never never!, beleived this things, I always thought that after dead, I would be just some other place, flying around, or the things that the siencie explains, or even the reencarnation, that is part of the spiritism doctrine, today you die, but in other time you will come back in a human body or some other form to pay your sins, or a little of the catholic doctrine, if you die you go to the purgatory to pay for sometime.
But when the devil presented himself to me, face to face and told me about the hell, even so, I tried to contradict and confront him, I felt very powerfull, I had not understand until that moment that the powers I had been using were not mine!, that I was totaly useless without satans powers. That is why the Word of God says that the Son of God came to undo the works of the devil. Because He knew that no man could confront him in the way that he really is.
So when he told me that I confronted him and told him: "I dont want to destroy never again anyone else". Then he took me by my neck and told me: "Then I will take you to hell right now!, so you know that nobody can stand before me". And when he took me an abyss opened there down my feet,it was like a marsh abyss, and we started to go down, all the darkness that you had already seen, or that you have experienced has no comparisson with this darkness, this abyss that awaits for men is just terrible, is terrible to arrive to that place without knowing never the Truth.
We were going down, and I tried to hold my self up, but he just took me by the neck, I think now that he was taking me to the death, all the people that live their lives in a lie serving the demons, because recently I knew that all this entities, with all their different names as they are named in my country. And now the end of my path was arriving to the end and I was just before the devil, he declared himself my owner, in a certain moment he stopped and told me: "there it is your body", and I looked around and I saw my own dead body on a bed, in that moment, a man came to my mind, just for a fraction of a second, and I thought: "I know that there is a God bigger than lucifer, if He saves me now, I will become slave of Him all the rest of my life". And in that moment for the very first time in my life I saw the heavens open, and it came down something like a lighting of light, something glorious came down very fast and hit me, then lucifer released me and fell down in his back on the floor, because the word of God says: "Cry out to Me, and I will answer you". I had never heard this message.
But how many are reading this message right now, and you are needing someone so bad that can answer you and that can set you free!. There was Him manifesting Himself in my life, for the first time the big power of God. I had seen lucifer on the earth, and for me he was a king, he was a lord, but now I just came to realized that there was a difference, that it was two forces, two goverments , or two princes were fighting for the control of my life, and when it came down the Light from above, when the Truth came, the Truth set me free!. Since that day I could understand that two forces acted in totaly oposite ways to control my life, and then I knew that there was a force from the heavens, and since then, I tried to live in the way that I had been teached in the religion, but something happened; that prince that just do not give up when he wants to destroy the lives, just declared me the war, he declared a demand from me, and for this deman, seven days later, and for this demand, 7 days later I lost a "guagua" I had it devoted to a prince that in Brasil has the name of: "Yemanya", it would be like saying: "The queen of the evil", but in the reality is a terrible demon, and that is the way that lucifer declared me the war and seven days after Yemanya killed my "guaguita" about one year old.
I remember that the doctors asked my mother:"What is happening with this girl?, that is not sick and still is dying!?". I could not answered them that I was paying the price for a life devoted to the darkness, all manners of occult, witchcraft, and spiritism.
And every week, something new happened, a new hit from the darkness hit my family, until one night when I arrived home they gave me a news, that my mom had tuberculosis, and was in the last stage of it, and was taken to the hospital immediately.
Then I began to hesitated, and I got inside my room, and thought: "Who was borned in this business can not go out". Because that is the law of the spiritism.
So I began to invoke him again, and he came again materialized, and he told me: "I called you into a pact, and you did not do it, now I do not want any pact with you, I want your blod, I want your life, and I want your soul".And I told him: "But my mom has nothing to do with my business". And he said: "I will destroy all your family, and after I will destroy you, because you are mine". Then I asked something to him, something that he never has for any of his servants: mercy. He asked me my life instead of her life, and he asked me to jump from a bridge and fall down a train. 15 days after everything was ready, I had the money for my funeral ready in an envelope, and letters to say good bye. Next day I would go to my job, like if I was going to wait for the train, in the train station. And after I would jump from the bridge, and when I die the soul of my mom would be set free , but that would be truth, because now I know that the devil never say the truth,he is the father of all lies.
So that night I went to bed, it would be the last night of my life, I didn't want to sleep, I don't know if some persons that read this know about it, maybe there are some that they feel they want to die, or they feel that they wanna destroy themselves. But I want to tell that, there is no words to describe how terrible the last night of a person is, the day before the person it thinking to finish his life. I wanted to look back in my life, look at it in retrospective, and there in the darkness of my room I was thinking:"Why it is that I was born for??, the life is so insipid, so lonely, there is no reason to live, is the reason of the life maybe just that the humans beings are born to go to hell?". And I was just asking myself questions and questions until the morning arrive, the witches called this hour "The big hour", but today I can tell that it was the hour of God for my life.
Suddenly a voice from above made me a question ans said: "And if I tell you that God exists?". God wanted to show me first the childhood of my father, and when I heard that voice asked me that question I reacted with violence, all my life was there before me, all the suffering, all the rejection, all the things, and I just tired and bored answered: "No, no!, God does not exist!". And then the voice asked me once more: "And what if I tell you that there is a God all almighty?". Then that question impacted my soul a lot, because I had known many gods, many princes, many entities, many spirits, but then when I heard "all Almighty", I was scared, because I knew all my sins in that moment, like if they were passing infront of me one by one, and I thought: "If there is a God all Almighty surely He does not like people of my type". Then I began to react also and told Him : "Well, I do not like Him either!".
So for the third time this voice asked me: "And what if I tell you that there is a God all Almighty and He LOVES you, just the way you are". And I began to react I put my hands on my eyes and began to cry and cry and cry, and I began to think: "Oh, it would be so good! so good!, if it was a God all Almighty that could love a person like me! with all this errors and garbage in my life". And midwhile I was crying a strong strong strong light showed up, and when I took my hands away from my face there He was, and it was something so new!, again I had known so many princes, I had always been a clairvoyant, I had had connection with the spiritual world, and I knew many things, but never this light!, and I wanted to see Him but the light just blinded me and did not let me see the face, and when I stood up to go in the direction of that light, because I did not understand yet who was the person that was standing there, my body began to roll over and I felt on my back, and all the demons one by one began to get inside my body, I could see my body on the floor, and I heard the demons saying a lot of bad things, and blasphemies and insults, and scratched my body, I was moving like a snake in the floor, and in that very moment I could understand that I was possessed for spirits that were enemies of the one that was standing in the middle of that strong light. And there in my mind I began to cry, and even in that moment I reacted as a witch, and I said: "Look God, you are not fair, you are bad, why you allowed me to come to this world?, to make so much evil?, and now recive in my own body the pay for all that evil!". And I could not stand to look at HIm for a second, but it seemed to me that He was looking at me very serious. And when I wanted to hurt Him some how, I told him: "Look, I suffered so much in this world, that I suffered more than your Son!" (because I had been told once that He had a Son), so when I said that, I felt that He reacted, and something lifted me up, and I began to take up in to the air, and then I opened my eyes and looked around, and then I began to see a vision, a scene that changed completly and forever the future of my soul.
This is what I saw: thousands of people were in the middle of a very big square, and a building in the background, I could see the columns, and I was thought: "Oh so strange!, what am I doing here!??". Because the dresses of the person , the clothes of the women, and everything looked like if I was in another period of time, I saw that the people were shouting, something big was happening inside that place, and then I began to open my self the way in the middle of all that people to come to the front to see what was going on, and then I saw a line made of human soldiers, soldiers that were dressing like romans soldiers, those soldiers of the old times, there up in the stairs, there were a lot of soldiers, and up the stairs a very big chair, and in the chair a man that stood up and pointed to another man that was tied up, and all around full of soldiers, this man was tied to a post.
The man in the chair asked: "What will I do with Jesus of Nazareth?".
When I heard that Name, it made a deep impact inside of me, because I had known many christs, like the "Christ of Plage", the "Jesus of Bonsin", "Oshala" that was a branch that was called "the god", but I never heard about this name "Jesus of Nazareth".
And when this man asked to the people like that, the people furious answered :"crucify him! crucify him! crucify him!".
And almost without thinking about it, I began to feel so angry! and I began to shout, but suddenly I thought: "but wait second!, what am I doing here???, what do I have to do with this man??". And I turned around to see who else was in that place, and I have seen such a scene that I will never forget, all my companions of withcraft, of all the branches and ramifications, from all the witchcrafts and spiritsm schools that I have pass through were there!, they were taking part of the scene that brought to the death to the Son of God, all my friends when I was in gangs, all my party friends, my drinking friends, my streets friends, all the once that had been doing evil, where there shouting, and there was all type of people, all categories, intellectuals, and all of them were shouting with anger and hate, and I turned again, and thought: "What do I have to do with this scene??!!".
I really never imagine that because of the fault of my sins I was also a part of that scene, and the dead of the Son of God, I was also guilty.
But when that man washed his hands and gave to the soldiers that accused, I want to tell you what I saw: those soldiers, took this man, and took off his clothes until the level of his waist, and tied him from behind in the way that they used to do with the slaves before in time, they tied him to a column, and surrounded by soldiers, and I saw how a soldier took out a whip, and began to give many turns in the air with it, and I was thiniking that all that was so strange, all the people was clapping and laughing, and shouting, but that whip was not a normal weapon, it had a cable and several leather ends, and in each end of that ends, it was a piece of iron. And when that whip turned in the air and hit the flesh, the flesh simply opened, and scratched completly that open flesh, he beat that man to pulp.
All the crowd was clapping and laughing, and that whip turned and turned, it was evident that those person were masters in the use of that weapon.
The body of that man shook. And I was thinking: "How?? how can this scene be possible?? this is just an act of cowardice!, is not fair!, there are so many soldiers versus just one man! is not fair!, and this man looked so defenceless in that moment, and I looked and thought: "Why doesn't He defend himself???, why He doesn't say anything!?!?".
I really did not know that there it was a lamb, there it was a mute lamb that was taken to the death before his shearers, because of my sins. And I just looked to all that thinking:"Why He did not defend himself!??, why doesn't He say anything???, why doesn't He insult the people??". I did not understand that He was there because of LOVE, for the love for me and for the love of you too, and I was standing there looking at that scene for a long time, it was unbearable to see that!. It was not like the pictures, images or statues that I had seen in the churches. The mans was totaly full of wounds, every time they hit his back it open more and take away pieces of skin. I had never been told the words of the prophet: "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed".
After a long time that I had seen that and the people clapping, laughing and whislting, the soldiers gave the man to the other men, and I saw how one of those men got close and hit Him right in His face; His face went to one direction and to other, and His eyes were always closed, and He never said a word, and I just wondering why He did not defend himself!!??, cause I did not understand that in that moment He was been punished for my sins, and for your sins, because for our sins there is no defence. For a long time the people hit him, and spat on Him and kicked Him. But I realised something, and today I am a witness that during all the time of His suffering, Jesus of Nazareth, the Only begotten Son of the living God was praying for all of us, because His lips were moving silently, and He was saying something that I could not understand, but maybe He was praying for me and for you in this moment too. And midwhile He was moving His lips, the blod came down through His mouth, His nose, and it was not like in the images of the churches just with one scratch here and there, no, it was totally swelling in his face of so much hits that he received, the people kicked Him, hit Him, and spat so much that His blod was mixed with all the spit of the persons. After a long time the soldiers came back, and that man was not a normal thing anymore, He become a human mass, but He never said a word, and I saw how someone got close to Him with something, like a pillow that had something on the top, not like the thing that you see in the images of the Christ on the walls, this torns were really big and crossed all down, and I saw how a soldier put up His face, He had His eyes closed, and the soldier drove in this torns crown on His head, and then took something like a stick and hit the thorns crown down in to His head, and the man tucked His neck, and tons of blod came out. I looked and thought :"How can a person suffer so much without saying a word!!???". And I heard everytime the soldier gave a hit in to His head in He just tucked it and tucked it.
Then I began to shout: "Stop!! stop!!!, don't do this!! this is the Son of God!!!, He doesn't deserve this suffering!". If me , my self I am a witch, for the very first time everything stopped, and that man opened His eyes and looked directly to me. Can you imagine that?, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God! was looking directly to me. I was thinking in that moment that He must've had so much anger because they made Him suffer so much!, all the words would be to little to describe how much that man has suffered!. But is the other way, I am here to tell you that I have never seen such a look, so full of compassion and love, so full of goodness like the look of Jesus of Nazareth. There He was looking at me, and I was tied to His eyes, I wanted to say something, but just tears came down from my eyes and He was looking me with love when He said: "No, my daugther Vilma". Then I was very scared because I thought: "Oh!!, Jesus knows me!!, I am not just a vegetal, I am not just a thing!". And He told me: "No, my daugther Vilma, nobody could bear such a suffering, just Me!". And He pointed to His body all buried, wounded and full of blod!, and He said: "I suffered all this for the love I have for you". And He streched His arms towards me, in that moment I opened my eyes and the vision had passed. I fell on my knees, I had never said a pray, cause I had never known what the Light was right?, but when I fell on my knees I felt peace, and I felt ashamed for my sins and for my past, and then I say a pray to the unkwon God until that moment and I said :"God look, my life is not worth a single cent, but all the rest of the time that I have to live I give it to your Son, because today I understood that He was the one that suffered and died for my cause".
And when I stood up after had said that pray I was already a new creature, I looked for the demons and they were not there anymore, I felt such a joy and such a peace it was something unexplainable, I went to the kitchen and my mother was sick with tuberculosis, and I preached to her the first message of my life, I told her: "Mummy, God is real, Jesus died for me mum!. This God changed my life, he made me a new creature, He put a knew song in my mouth.
- In this moment could you tell us something about your ministry, how are you serving the Lord today?
-Yes, it happened that when I knew the Truth, when the Gospel came to my life, I understood that thousands still doesn't know it, or maybe they know it but just in a very superfcial way, just like me when I was a kid, they know about a God that is up there, but that He is not interested in any one, a God that has no time for the people, and maybe there are many that hate Him like I did, and this is because they do not know Him personaly, because they do not know that He is so loving, and that He so loved the Word that He sent His Son, He arrived to the last consequences for the sake of us. And when I saw the people in the streets I realized that they needed that someone told them something. And I think that the Holy Ghost put that in my heart. I have dedicated all my life, I have travel to many countries, to a large extent of my country I have preached without stop, in big churches and in small churches, telling to thousands and also to single persons I don't care I go where the Spirit of God leads me to. I have gone with great joy, and I want to tell you that I offered my self to the Lord as a slave but He did not attended that request, He received me as a daugther, I am daugther of the living God, never again the demons had control over my body, never again the vices, the hate and the misery, Jesus changed the eternal future of my life. And when I hear His voice saying: "Go and preach this words to all people and nations, to keep the things that I have spoken". I will aways do it midwhile I have life in me. It is the desire of all my heart that this experience, can be use for the Holy Spirit to get it to your heart, and maybe can touch the heart of so many witches that want to get apart and are running from a very dark and unclean past, that they won't be affraid of the threatens or the goverment of the prince of darkness I tell them today: get close to Jesus Christ, He is the General that conquered the one that I never could conquered alone, and He become my owner, my Lord, my Father and the best Friend that I have.
- Vilma thank you very much, it has been a blessing for us to hear and to share this testimony with many that needs to hear this type of material to take their lives some how to the feet of the Lord and that they can move from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you from all our hearts for this time together with us.
AMEN
