00:00That's the moment I also knew that God was at work.
00:03In the month of March, that's the following month,
00:08they ended up paying all our invoices.
00:12I also paid my employees, our company employees,
00:18and I also paid back our debt.
00:20It is time to stop sitting back in our setback.
00:35Oh, children of God, I will speak to your business right now.
00:40I will speak to your career.
00:42I will speak to your finances.
00:46Be marked for divine favor.
00:49Be marked for divine progress.
00:53Be marked for divine empowerment.
00:57Be marked, be marked, be marked for divine progress.
01:04My name is Mario, and I'm connecting from Angola.
01:09The things that I was going through was a lot of stress,
01:14depression from debt that I was having that I couldn't pay.
01:22And we also had some services that we rendered,
01:26and our customers were actually not paying us.
01:29And things truly got difficult from November 2024 because of those difficulties,
01:42those financial difficulties.
01:44I would sometimes borrow money from people that I knew
01:47and hoping that I was going to pay them once we got our services or our invoices paid.
01:54But since our customers could not pay us,
01:58we were also not able to pay the people I owed.
02:03I wasn't able to pay the people that worked with me,
02:08my team in that case, the employees.
02:10And it was truly a stressful moment and also shameful moment
02:17because most of the people that I owed and couldn't pay,
02:22they would be calling me.
02:23I would tell them that I still didn't have the money,
02:27but I was willing to pay.
02:28But they would then be thinking that maybe I just didn't have the intention of paying.
02:37So they would be calling my wife, and my wife would be talking to me.
02:41So it was truly a moment of embarrassment.
02:46And as we all know, when there's financial difficulties in families,
02:52that also has some strengths on the relationship between husband and wife.
03:01In the month of January, I wrote a prayer request to God's Heart TV
03:08because I also follow God's Heart TV.
03:12But until then, I wasn't participating in these monthly interactive prayers.
03:19And then, I think two days before, on the 26th or 27th,
03:25then I got a reply from God's Heart TV
03:29inviting me to participate in the interactive prayer,
03:36which was going to be on the 1st of February.
03:40And the moment I received that email,
03:44I was very happy because I knew from that moment on
03:48that God was aware of my situation.
03:51When we participated in the interactive prayer,
03:57I actually didn't feel anything,
04:00or I didn't manifest or anything like that.
04:05But immediately the second day after the interactive prayer,
04:09I noticed that two things happened
04:13that were not happening in normal times.
04:17In that prayer request, I actually didn't put a prayer request for help.
04:24And during that time, I was experiencing a very severe and strange headache.
04:31It would be truly very strange because I would get that headache,
04:35I wouldn't be able to move my neck,
04:37and I would be feeling a very sharp pain that goes from this top part of my head to the eye.
04:45And if I'm driving that moment, I would have to stop the car
04:51until that headache goes away.
04:55I'm saying it's a very strange headache.
04:58Why?
04:58Because even when I was not experiencing that headache,
05:01if I only touched a bit my hair,
05:04I didn't even need to put pressure.
05:08Just by touching my hair,
05:10I would feel a very sharp pain also.
05:15Days before the interactive prayer,
05:18I was using all kinds of medicine.
05:22I was using pills for headaches
05:25and this other lotion or rub
05:30that I have to put so that it can reduce the pain.
05:35Then there came a time that both the pills
05:38and that lotion were no longer having any effect.
05:41So on that day,
05:44I noticed I was no longer having that headache.
05:48I was even testing, trying to tap my head.
05:51So the pain was completely gone.
05:55And the second thing that I also noticed on the second day
05:57after the interactive prayer
06:00is I would always send a message to our clients
06:05to ask if we had any news regarding our invoices,
06:10but they would not give any feedback.
06:15And since I was sending those messages via WhatsApp,
06:18I could actually tell that they opened
06:21and they've seen the message,
06:23but then they would completely ignore that message.
06:27So that day after the interactive prayer,
06:31which was on the 2nd of February,
06:34I actually got the reply from them.
06:36And then we were able to settle
06:42and that's the moment I also knew that God was at work.
06:47In the month of March, that's the following month,
06:52they ended up paying all our invoices.
06:56I also paid my employees, our company employees,
07:01and I also paid back our debt.
07:06We ended up also getting a customer,
07:09the customer with whom we are working right now.
07:12It's a small client.
07:14But in the month of April,
07:16we reached out to a company in the USA,
07:21which we ended up going into a partnership agreement.
07:29They are obviously a bigger company.
07:32That is the biggest breakthrough for us,
07:36this American partnership with our company in Angola.
07:41My way of advice to anybody going through financial difficulties,
07:47health challenges,
07:50is the same advice that has been given time and time again on God's Heart TV,
07:58which is distance is not a barrier.
08:00When we see other people giving testimonies,
08:03we think maybe they are different from us,
08:07maybe they are more holy.
08:11But what I want to tell or to say to you, brothers,
08:16is that our testimonies truly have nothing to do with us.
08:22Or in that case, my testimonies have nothing to do with me.
08:26I'm just a sinner as all of you, my brothers.
08:31But I realized one thing.
08:33Our faith and our testimony has nothing to do with us.
08:38It has to do with God.
08:39So our trust should be in God.
08:43And don't tell yourself you don't deserve.
08:46Because this is grace.
08:48It has nothing to do with work.
08:51Independently of what you have done in the past,
08:54if you have come to Jesus,
08:56just know that everything has been made new.
08:58And just put your trust in God.
09:03And just put your trust in God.
09:32You
