The story of Liliat, a young lady who suffered in life, but
(01:38):
she did not know the truth. By coming to this ministry, she
she has learned the truth, and the truth has set her free.
Now Liliat has a different light.
Light. Hello Liliat.
Hello, Bishop. How are you?
(01:59):
I'm good, thank you. Thank you for joining us and
today we are going to be talkingabout first your past life.
Tell us before you know the truth.
Jesus said you shall know the truth.
The truth shall set you free. Who was Liliad without the
(02:20):
truth? Like a person that was blind,
cannot see the light, did not know the truth.
Tell us your dark life. Thank you.
Yes, I, I will. So it's so funny because I grew
up in in a in the ministry in a church, but I still didn't know
(02:42):
the truth. I didn't didn't made change in
my life. However, I grew up in Portugal
and after an accident there, my mom and and my sister was in
they passed away. We were able to come to the
United States. My grandmother went to go get
(03:05):
us. She was here in the United
States and we came here. So after the accident, we had a
brand new life in a brand new country and brand new friends.
Everything was new, everything was different.
And here we thought, you know, things going to be different and
(03:26):
life is going to keep going. So let me understand, you are
from Portugal. Yes.
Right. You are just saying what
mistakenly people do. They leave their country, they
are state, they are city and they go to another city, they go
(03:50):
to another country, another state.
If they lose you, I'm going to start afresh.
I'm going to start all over. I'm going to have a new life.
So moving from Portugal to the States to America seems to be a
changing in life, right? Correct.
(04:13):
And you know, apparently it was,it was a good change.
I had opportunities to study here.
I had opportunities that I didn't had in Portugal.
You know, when my mom was alive,we're very poor.
So that whole life kind of ended.
Now I was able to buy stuff because I started to work.
(04:35):
So I came here when I was 15 andat 15 I had a job in Portugal
was different. Apparently it was better.
And even though I start to make friends here, but the friends I
had here wasn't like I had in Portugal.
There was not so much closure. It wasn't friends that you could
(04:55):
tell your secrets to, you know, hug.
If you were to hug a girl here, you would have considered a
lesbian. So that was a little bit
different to, to experience thatin the school that I was going
to because there was a lot of that.
But, you know, my grandmother, she, you know, try to keep us
(05:17):
in, in going to church. She, she, she was going to
church, but I still didn't understand why I was doing that.
It was just a tradition thing tome.
So I ended up leaving and I said, you know, I don't know why
I'm doing this. This is kind of a waste of my
time 'cause I couldn't comprehend why I have to go to
(05:37):
church. Like I was just being dragged
there. That was my thoughts.
So I ended up, I told, you know,I turned 18 and then I thought
I, I was working, I going to school, I got myself through
college, you know, my, my familyhere didn't speak much English,
didn't really know how the process went.
So I kind of figured out everything on my own And, and it
(06:00):
was difficult because then I start wanting the things of the
world. I start to date.
I wanted to live with my boyfriend.
I wanted to do these things. So all of that, I, I wanted
those things, so I went after it.
When I went after it, that's pretty much when I start to
notice that I start drinking. I started getting the friends
(06:23):
that were supposed to be my friends.
They took me to different lifestyles that before I never
used to be in in I start to remember or I start to have this
emptiness that I've never felt before.
Even though I didn't know the truth, I was I didn't feel empty
and I never missed my mom like Idid in those days.
(06:47):
I got to, I didn't say I never did drugs.
I did some drugs, but I never won.
I knew that I knew that if I would become addicted or if I
would do cocaine or those type of more hardcore, it would take
me to bad places. So I knew that those things I
couldn't go for, but I did wanted to try it here and there.
(07:10):
So at some point I, I, I noticedthat even though I wasn't going
to church, I still gave my tie to my grandmother to take it
just because there was somethingthat they told me.
If I didn't do that, I don't know something would happen.
So I kept doing that. But one day I went out on a trip
(07:32):
to Canada with my friends and I had this envelope of money and I
forgot what is that for? And I remember that I used that
money to go potty with my friends.
We drove all the way to Connecticut to Canada and I
spend that money. And after that wasn't the first
(07:54):
week, it wasn't the second week.I got myself through college and
I was on my way to become a a manager from Bank of America.
All of a sudden things change. I basically got kicked out of
that job and, and I start havingproblems with my boyfriend,
everything at the same time, kind of, you know, start to
(08:15):
happen. That's when I, I, I start to
feel like this emptiness. I used to always miss work
because I couldn't wake up or I wouldn't sleep all night and and
I didn't know exactly what was happening.
But and one of my going out, I met someone that used to talk to
me about God all the time and I used to let.
(08:38):
Me, let me ask you something. Going to parties, always among
friends, drinking, using drugs. When you said that you start
missing your mother, it shows that you were empty inside and
(08:59):
it is called nowadays depression.
Before they would not use the word depression just say sadness
or missing this. But depression happens when a
person miss, misses or lose something.
Depresses the disease of the soul.
When you you like lose a job, you lose a family member, you
(09:20):
lose a house, property, somebodythat you love.
So then you fall into deep sadness.
That is called also depression, right?
Correct. After I lost my job that I so
hard fought for, I had, I also lost a lot of the benefits that
(09:40):
kind of kept me thinking that I was OK.
So I couldn't stop in a good relationship, but it was OK
because I had my car, I had my apartment, I had my money, so it
was fine. But when I lost my, my money or
my job that provided me that I moved to a room, it wasn't an
(10:01):
apartment. It was a room smaller than any
room that you could live in. And, and you know, with the
drinking and the partying and, you know, the friendships, the
non stopping relationships. I, I would start a relationship,
finish, go to stop at a relationship, finish, go to
another. There was no connection anymore.
(10:21):
There was no I couldn't find love and and it was getting me
more and more sad every day. So everything for you were
unstable, love, life, finances, family, your faith also was
weak, cold. So everything your life was
(10:46):
unstable. I want you please to hold on for
a second. We are going to show here this
video about the pressure. Many of those that outside, they
are smiling, they have this beautiful smile on their face,
They pretend to be happy, but deep inside of them they are
(11:06):
completely sad, frustrated. If this is your case, I want you
to watch this. You picture yourself being
happy, enjoying life, always smiling.
Unfortunately, that picture doesn't match how you truly feel
(11:29):
inside. Smiling Depression Smiling
depression is a term for someoneliving with depression on the
inside while appearing perfectlyhappy or content on the outside.
You truly feel sad and depressed, and perhaps you don't
(11:52):
even want to live anymore. But you mask all of those
feelings with a fake smile, not knowing what or whom to trust.
In order to find true happiness,you must be true to yourself.
(12:19):
Are you dealing with smiling depression?
It's mild depression. You always pretend, pretend
everything's OK. But deep inside of you, you know
you are not OK. You do need deliverance.
You do need the freedom. Liliad, you are saying that your
(12:46):
grandmother used to go to church, take you to church while
you were there partying, depressed.
Didn't you miss the church? Didn't you miss going back to
church? When I was supposedly OK, I used
to. I used to hate because she
(13:08):
sometimes used to tell me to go and I used to feel bad, so I
used to go with her. But I had the night before just
came from a party. So I didn't like that feeling of
I thought to myself judging, 'cause I just went partying last
night. I was doing everything bad and
now this morning I'm sitting here listening to everything
(13:30):
that I'm doing bad. So in my mind I thought, I don't
want to come back here because II want to continue to do that.
And that was in my mind. So I'm sorry some some people
like you had just thought they think in the same way.
Why should should I go to church?
Should I sit there to hear what the pastors have to say?
(13:53):
They are talking about wrong things.
This is what I do. But what the people have to
understand is not the pastor we see, but God that knows you, God
that knows your life, and this is talking directly to you.
Yep, I used to think that, my grandmother told the pastor
because I was like everybody. Everybody thinks the same.
(14:18):
I used to think that and she used to always tell me no, but
it was hard to believe and eventually she passed away in
2013 and that was kind of a wakeup wake up call. 2013 was a wake
up call to me in That's also when I lost my job.
(14:39):
Everything happened at the same time.
I Trumbull my relationship. I couldn't have one that was a
good one that would be fulfilling and somehow, and I
was doing a lot of partying, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, and
none of that was filling me. Did you ever hear in the church
(15:00):
as your grandmother taking you? Did you ever hear the message
the pastor say what Jesus said? Without me you can do nothing.
No, every time I was in church Bishop, this is what I used to
do. I I would have dread someone to
talk to me about God. I didn't want to.
I would have be there, sit thereand block out just to me.
(15:25):
I've never remember any of the service.
I went that I, I went because, you know, I was trying to please
my grandmother or my aunt or whoever.
I blocked out. I blocked out every.
What was the worst moment of your life?
Yeah, so after my, my, my grandmother passed away, I've
(15:47):
lost my job. I had to be kicked out of my
apartment and went to live in the small little room in a whole
different city that was in Boston.
And the there was someone that spoke to me about God and for
some reason he said something tome that's that's thick.
(16:08):
There was like he said, Liliak, you have you have everything,
you have everything. You're a good person.
You can conquer a lot of things.But imagine what would it be if
you were a woman of God? And for some reason those words
stayed in my mind. And I kept thinking like, where
(16:28):
did I hear this before? And I remember that because it
was it what made that was what made me think I was in church.
Maybe I should go back there andsee is if God is real, like is
if he's real for real, if my grandmother was really talking
(16:49):
the truth, if my mom was talkingthe truth, like, I need to
figure this out, you know? And I remember, I started to
remember because I had blocked, if anyone would talk to me about
God, I would just completely turn around.
Like I wouldn't be rude, but I just didn't want to have to.
I didn't want that. I just blocked.
Right. And and I, I, I said no, I'm in
(17:11):
my worst now I and many people think that's not when they
should seek God. But in my mind, to me, because I
was in my worst, I said only Godcan help me.
And that's when I went to churchon my own.
Returning to church, what did you do and how is your life now?
(17:32):
I remember the first service that I went again, the pastor
was there talking about all the things that I did and I said
there's no way he can know who Iam because I didn't go to the
church was when my grandmother was a helper and and people knew
me. I went to a different church in
a different city because I, I wanted to know if it's true.
(17:55):
So I went to a different, like the same universal church, but
in a different city. And there he was telling me all
about my life and all the thingsI needed to change.
And, and the first thing I did was I became faithful to God.
I became a tie giver again because I stopped being one.
(18:17):
So and what God has done in yourlife, how is your life now?
Bishop After that it took a little bit of time for me to
convert. It took it took a good two years
for me to let God in because I thought I needed to do all the
changing on my own to then God, you know.
(18:38):
So it took a little bit of time for me to understand that God
wanted to be with me and fight with me.
But after I understood God has changed my life completely, you
know, inside out, you know, mostpeople, I didn't go after the
material things. I didn't go after the even
(18:59):
though I had lost everything at that time, I didn't go after
that. I wanted that emptiness that
that pain in my heart to get out.
I I want to not miss my mom's, to feel like I had this hole in
my chest, you know, so you. Learned how to make Jesus your
priority. That was my priority.
I wanted to find if God was realand that's when I start reading
(19:22):
the Bible. And because I had a lot of bad
eyes towards like the pastors and the helpers, because in my
family there was a lot of peoplethat wanted to be in the work of
God. And unfortunately they didn't do
it right. So I used to see that testimony
and think, my God, that's what that's what everyone is.
(19:44):
And it wasn't. It's just that's what they did.
And today I have that understanding.
So I walked around my Bible everywhere because I would have
confirmed everything that was said to me if it was in the
Bible. And I believe that that was, you
know, that was when I was going to get my truth from, and that's
How I Met the truth. OK, how you feeling?
(20:04):
How is your life now? I changed today.
I have the Holy Spirit, I'm the helper myself of the Church.
I have my own business. I do you know, nothing is
absence of me. I have everything that I ever
wanted in my life and most of it.
The most important thing is thatI have the peace that I was
(20:25):
looking for. I have that puzzle Peace that
was missing in here, you know, and.
So transformed life help inside.Yes.
And you have the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Yes, I do. All right, yeah, Thank you very
much for your story. All the best.
(20:46):

movie. It is not fair to tell you.

changed because she received theHoly Spirit as a young girl.

So I kept doing that. But one day I went out on a trip
(07:32):
to Canada with my friends and I had this envelope of money and I
forgot what is that for? And I remember that I used that
money to go potty with my friends.
We drove all the way to Connecticut to Canada and I
spend that money. And after that wasn't the first
(07:54):
week, it wasn't the second week.I got myself through college and
I was on my way to become a a manager from Bank of America.
All of a sudden things change. I basically got kicked out of
that job and, and I start havingproblems with my boyfriend,
everything at the same time, kind of, you know, start to
(08:15):
happen. That's when I, I, I start to
feel like this emptiness. I used to always miss work
because I couldn't wake up or I wouldn't sleep all night and and
I didn't know exactly what was happening.
But and one of my going out, I met someone that used to talk to
me about God all the time and I used to let.
(08:38):
Me, let me ask you something. Going to parties, always among
friends, drinking, using drugs. When you said that you start
missing your mother, it shows that you were empty inside and
(08:59):
it is called nowadays depression.
Before they would not use the word depression just say sadness
or missing this. But depression happens when a
person miss, misses or lose something.
Depresses the disease of the soul.
When you you like lose a job, you lose a family member, you
(09:20):
lose a house, property, somebodythat you love.
So then you fall into deep sadness.
That is called also depression, right?
Correct. After I lost my job that I so
hard fought for, I had, I also lost a lot of the benefits that
(09:40):
kind of kept me thinking that I was OK.
So I couldn't stop in a good relationship, but it was OK
because I had my car, I had my apartment, I had my money, so it
was fine. But when I lost my, my money or
my job that provided me that I moved to a room, it wasn't an
(10:01):
apartment. It was a room smaller than any
room that you could live in. And, and you know, with the
drinking and the partying and, you know, the friendships, the
non stopping relationships. I, I would start a relationship,
finish, go to stop at a relationship, finish, go to
another. There was no connection anymore.
(10:21):
There was no I couldn't find love and and it was getting me
more and more sad every day. So everything for you were
unstable, love, life, finances, family, your faith also was
weak, cold. So everything your life was
(10:46):
unstable. I want you please to hold on for
a second. We are going to show here this
video about the pressure. Many of those that outside, they
are smiling, they have this beautiful smile on their face,
They pretend to be happy, but deep inside of them they are
(11:06):
completely sad, frustrated. If this is your case, I want you
to watch this. You picture yourself being
happy, enjoying life, always smiling.
Unfortunately, that picture doesn't match how you truly feel
(11:29):
inside. Smiling Depression Smiling
depression is a term for someoneliving with depression on the
inside while appearing perfectlyhappy or content on the outside.
You truly feel sad and depressed, and perhaps you don't
(11:52):
even want to live anymore. But you mask all of those
feelings with a fake smile, not knowing what or whom to trust.
In order to find true happiness,you must be true to yourself.
(12:19):
Are you dealing with smiling depression?
It's mild depression. You always pretend, pretend
everything's OK. But deep inside of you, you know
you are not OK. You do need deliverance.
You do need the freedom. Liliad, you are saying that your
(12:46):
grandmother used to go to church, take you to church while
you were there partying, depressed.
Didn't you miss the church? Didn't you miss going back to
church? When I was supposedly OK, I used
to. I used to hate because she
(13:08):
sometimes used to tell me to go and I used to feel bad, so I
used to go with her. But I had the night before just
came from a party. So I didn't like that feeling of
I thought to myself judging, 'cause I just went partying last
night. I was doing everything bad and
now this morning I'm sitting here listening to everything
(13:30):
that I'm doing bad. So in my mind I thought, I don't
want to come back here because II want to continue to do that.
And that was in my mind. So I'm sorry some some people
like you had just thought they think in the same way.
Why should should I go to church?
Should I sit there to hear what the pastors have to say?
(13:53):
They are talking about wrong things.
This is what I do. But what the people have to
understand is not the pastor we see, but God that knows you, God
that knows your life, and this is talking directly to you.
Yep, I used to think that, my grandmother told the pastor
because I was like everybody. Everybody thinks the same.
(14:18):
I used to think that and she used to always tell me no, but
it was hard to believe and eventually she passed away in
2013 and that was kind of a wakeup wake up call. 2013 was a wake
up call to me in That's also when I lost my job.
(14:39):
Everything happened at the same time.
I Trumbull my relationship. I couldn't have one that was a
good one that would be fulfilling and somehow, and I
was doing a lot of partying, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, and
none of that was filling me. Did you ever hear in the church
(15:00):
as your grandmother taking you? Did you ever hear the message
the pastor say what Jesus said? Without me you can do nothing.
No, every time I was in church Bishop, this is what I used to
do. I I would have dread someone to
talk to me about God. I didn't want to.
I would have be there, sit thereand block out just to me.
(15:25):
I've never remember any of the service.
I went that I, I went because, you know, I was trying to please
my grandmother or my aunt or whoever.
I blocked out. I blocked out every.
What was the worst moment of your life?
Yeah, so after my, my, my grandmother passed away, I've
(15:47):
lost my job. I had to be kicked out of my
apartment and went to live in the small little room in a whole
different city that was in Boston.
And the there was someone that spoke to me about God and for
some reason he said something tome that's that's thick.
(16:08):
There was like he said, Liliak, you have you have everything,
you have everything. You're a good person.
You can conquer a lot of things.But imagine what would it be if
you were a woman of God? And for some reason those words
stayed in my mind. And I kept thinking like, where
(16:28):
did I hear this before? And I remember that because it
was it what made that was what made me think I was in church.
Maybe I should go back there andsee is if God is real, like is
if he's real for real, if my grandmother was really talking
(16:49):
the truth, if my mom was talkingthe truth, like, I need to
figure this out, you know? And I remember, I started to
remember because I had blocked, if anyone would talk to me about
God, I would just completely turn around.
Like I wouldn't be rude, but I just didn't want to have to.
I didn't want that. I just blocked.
Right. And and I, I, I said no, I'm in
(17:11):
my worst now I and many people think that's not when they
should seek God. But in my mind, to me, because I
was in my worst, I said only Godcan help me.
And that's when I went to churchon my own.
Returning to church, what did you do and how is your life now?
(17:32):
I remember the first service that I went again, the pastor
was there talking about all the things that I did and I said
there's no way he can know who Iam because I didn't go to the
church was when my grandmother was a helper and and people knew
me. I went to a different church in
a different city because I, I wanted to know if it's true.
(17:55):
So I went to a different, like the same universal church, but
in a different city. And there he was telling me all
about my life and all the thingsI needed to change.
And, and the first thing I did was I became faithful to God.
I became a tie giver again because I stopped being one.
(18:17):
So and what God has done in yourlife, how is your life now?
Bishop After that it took a little bit of time for me to
convert. It took it took a good two years
for me to let God in because I thought I needed to do all the
changing on my own to then God, you know.
(18:38):
So it took a little bit of time for me to understand that God
wanted to be with me and fight with me.
But after I understood God has changed my life completely, you
know, inside out, you know, mostpeople, I didn't go after the
material things. I didn't go after the even
(18:59):
though I had lost everything at that time, I didn't go after
that. I wanted that emptiness that
that pain in my heart to get out.
I I want to not miss my mom's, to feel like I had this hole in
my chest, you know, so you. Learned how to make Jesus your
priority. That was my priority.
I wanted to find if God was realand that's when I start reading
(19:22):
the Bible. And because I had a lot of bad
eyes towards like the pastors and the helpers, because in my
family there was a lot of peoplethat wanted to be in the work of
God. And unfortunately they didn't do
it right. So I used to see that testimony
and think, my God, that's what that's what everyone is.
(19:44):
And it wasn't. It's just that's what they did.
And today I have that understanding.
So I walked around my Bible everywhere because I would have
confirmed everything that was said to me if it was in the
Bible. And I believe that that was, you
know, that was when I was going to get my truth from, and that's
How I Met the truth. OK, how you feeling?
(20:04):
How is your life now? I changed today.
I have the Holy Spirit, I'm the helper myself of the Church.
I have my own business. I do you know, nothing is
absence of me. I have everything that I ever
wanted in my life and most of it.
The most important thing is thatI have the peace that I was
(20:25):
looking for. I have that puzzle Peace that
was missing in here, you know, and.
So transformed life help inside.Yes.
And you have the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Yes, I do. All right, yeah, Thank you very
much for your story. All the best.

changed because she received theHoly Spirit as a young girl.
