Short filmTranscript
00:00Brothers, I saw a testimony here that I need to share with you.
00:05Look, many times we think that God only manifests himself within the four walls of a church.
00:11Isn't that right?
00:12Or at least that there's something directed towards God.
00:15Maybe a moment of prayer.
00:16Or that time when you were singing worship songs in the shower and then God manifested himself there, right?
00:22But brothers, at a Brazilian funk party, in a place where, unfortunately, there's a lot of promiscuity,
00:29those funk songs, right?
00:31They're always focused on sexual content.
00:34Unfortunately, there's a lot of wrong things out there.
00:38Drugs and all that.
00:39And suddenly, the angel appeared to this young woman.
00:42You'll see what he said to her, and I'm impressed.
00:45Look, it's been a blessing for me to bring you these uplifting testimonies here.
00:49So, if you've been enjoying this kind of content, please click like.
00:53It helps YouTube share it with more people.
00:55And also, subscribe to my channel.
00:57Because every day, I want you to be on my prayer list.
01:01Every day, I'll be doing the morning prayer and the night prayer for you.
01:04All right?
01:06Brothers, like I told you, many times we have the wrong idea that God only reveals himself
01:11in an evangelical church service.
01:13We even think that God is evangelical, right?
01:15But brothers, there's nothing like that in the Word.
01:19God, He is the Father of those who receive His Son, Jesus, as Savior.
01:23And that's it.
01:24It doesn't matter what situation the person is in.
01:27It doesn't matter how much they still need to be transformed.
01:30If they gave their life to Jesus, if they believed that He died on the cross for their
01:34sins and rose again on the third day, at that moment, they are saved.
01:39The Holy Spirit comes to live inside them.
01:41And of course, along with that faith, there needs to be repentance, right?
01:45Because you believe that Jesus died for you.
01:48But now, you don't want that life of sin anymore.
01:51You want to follow God's path.
01:53So, the Bible makes it very clear.
01:56The one who does the will of the Lord will remain forever.
02:00So, it's very important for us to be doing God's will.
02:03But here's the thing.
02:04A lot of people, brothers, have drifted away.
02:07And God wants to speak to them.
02:09God is always touching their hearts.
02:11In fact, I once heard a young woman sharing her testimony at my church
02:14that she had strayed from the Lord's ways.
02:17And then, every time she came home drunk late at night, she drank a lot.
02:23Always involved, you know?
02:25With several partners.
02:26Whenever she got home, she felt a strong urge to pray in tongues.
02:30And she thought that was a form of blasphemy.
02:33Because she thought,
02:34I'm not ready.
02:35I'm not living in holiness.
02:37I'm far from the Lord's ways.
02:39But then, she shared a church that she had decided to pray.
02:43And every time, she would pray in tongues.
02:45And for months, she kept doing the wrong things and praying in tongues.
02:49Until one day, she looked inside herself.
02:52And a very strong sense of repentance came over her.
02:55She saw the filth she was in.
02:57You know?
02:57That deplorable situation.
02:59And then, she repented.
03:02And then she said at church,
03:03that she believes God led her to pray in tongues so that she could build herself up.
03:07Brothers, our God is a God of grace and mercy.
03:12Before He pours out judgment,
03:13you'll notice in the Bible, He poured out grace and mercy.
03:16So this is our God.
03:18But going back to talking about this angel that appeared to this young woman,
03:22I started to remember some times when God visited people through angels.
03:26But church, was it in a religious moment?
03:29Think, for example, about Jacob.
03:32Jacob was running away from his brother Esau.
03:34He was deceiving his brother.
03:36He had deceived him.
03:37In other words, he was outside of God's will.
03:40But then, when he was tired, there in Bethel,
03:43he laid his head on a stone.
03:45And suddenly, he had a dream.
03:48And God revealed to him that there was a portal there,
03:52that angels were going up and down a ladder.
03:55We see another example with Balaam as well.
03:58Remember Balaam?
03:59The prophet who was in disobedience,
04:01because he received offers from King Balak so that he could curse Israel.
04:05So he was going to curse brothers.
04:07Think about it.
04:08A prophet, a man of God, going to curse Israel.
04:13And suddenly, on the way,
04:15the donkey that was with him saw the angel in front of them.
04:17But he himself didn't see it, because he was spiritually blind.
04:21But the donkey saw it and stopped there.
04:24To sum up the story,
04:25he started hitting the donkey, and the donkey spoke to him.
04:29God used the donkey to warn that prophet.
04:32We also see the example of those shepherds who were in Bethlehem.
04:36Remember that?
04:37God could have visited the priests in the temple in Jerusalem,
04:40but God preferred to visit the shepherds there in Bethlehem.
04:44Shepherds.
04:45Simple men, ignored by society.
04:48But they received the greatest news in the history of humanity.
04:53Look how interesting.
04:54God reserved the best for the little ones.
04:57And there then, they saw a huge army
04:59with thousands and thousands of angels in the sky.
05:02And they said to each other,
05:05Glory to God in the highest,
05:07and peace on earth to those with whom God is well pleased.
05:11So we see here God's grace once again.
05:13And another example that I just remembered now
05:15was Cornelius.
05:17Remember him?
05:18Cornelius, he wasn't a Jew.
05:20Think about it.
05:20He was a Gentile.
05:21He was Roman.
05:22He was a soldier.
05:24And suddenly, an angel appeared in his house.
05:27And the angel said,
05:29Look, look for a man named Peter,
05:31because he will preach the gospel to you,
05:33and you will be saved through the gospel.
05:36It's interesting, brothers,
05:37that there the angel said the church would make this difference.
05:41So, brothers, we are the church.
05:44I'm not saying you can't go to a place of worship.
05:46I go to church.
05:47I'm totally in favor.
05:49In fact, the Bible says in Hebrews chapter 10
05:51that we should not stop gathering together as a church.
05:55In other words,
05:56it's very important to be in fellowship with other brothers
05:59to encourage one another,
06:00even more so knowing that Jesus is coming back.
06:03So, now let's look at another case here
06:05where the angel, this time,
06:07appeared at the Brazilian funk party.
06:09Pay attention.
06:10It's amazing.
06:11And at the end, we're going to say a prayer.
06:14I want to pray for you who are away from the Lord.
06:17God will speak to you today,
06:18and He will touch you.
06:19Amen?
06:20Glory to God.
06:21Let's watch.
06:23It's no use just going to church to check in.
06:25I always say this at the service I lead on Thursdays,
06:28at my church, Faith and Victory.
06:29I always say this.
06:30It's no use leaving your house,
06:32getting all dressed up,
06:33putting on perfume,
06:34wearing out your shoes,
06:36spending money on Uber,
06:37however you get there,
06:38just to go to church to check in.
06:40Why are you at church?
06:41Because there's a service today.
06:42No, that's not what I'm talking about.
06:43I'm talking about the secret place.
06:45I'm talking about intimacy,
06:46about you speaking and listening,
06:48about you having an experience knowing God.
06:50The Bible says that we should taste and know God.
06:53He allows that.
06:54So that's what I'm talking about.
06:56Knowing God.
06:57Carol, and you still went?
06:58I did.
06:59Because I was human and wanted to see if it would work out.
07:02Honestly, I feel like I was really trying to test God
07:04because I knew I wasn't supposed to be there,
07:06but I went anyway.
07:09So I went because I was lost,
07:11because I was upset,
07:13because I was weak,
07:14because I was sad.
07:17I think the biggest motivation
07:20behind all the hardships I went through
07:22was problems, problems, problems.
07:25Of all the problems I went through,
07:29it was sadness.
07:31It was sadness.
07:32Loneliness there.
07:34Real loneliness.
07:35Disappointment.
07:36Depression.
07:37Depression.
07:38I went through a cycle.
07:41I went through a very deep cycle of depression.
07:45When I thought to myself,
07:46I think now I'm going to call so-and-so to pray for me.
07:49Call someone else.
07:51I think if I asked to go to
07:52brother so-and-so's church,
07:55even though I wasn't really ready to be there,
07:58I'd go for the support, for a hug.
08:02So I didn't.
08:03And I wasn't sad about it.
08:05I was already sad before that, you know.
08:09And I went because I started to think
08:11that maybe I would find something different.
08:16And then I have to tell you
08:17that I went to the Brazilian Funk Party.
08:20Actually, I didn't even plan on going.
08:22There were three more backsliders.
08:25There's always someone sent by the devil
08:28to make you mess up.
08:30You might be broke,
08:31but someone always shows up and says,
08:34come on, I'll pay.
08:36I know that's that evil voice talking to you.
08:39So I said, I'm not doing anything.
08:41I was already going through a trial anyway.
08:43I said, I think I'll go.
08:44Guys, oh my God.
08:45I'm not judging anyone who goes, okay?
08:49It's just that it doesn't make sense to me.
08:51It doesn't.
08:52I used to say that even before I knew about it.
08:54So I said, you know what?
08:56I'm going.
08:57So I got ready,
08:58put on the right clothes to go
08:59and I went.
09:01I went.
09:02You took off your clothes and got ready.
09:05I went.
09:06Guys, I'm going to tell you.
09:07Yeah.
09:08I got there.
09:09The tootie tootie was like this,
09:11you know, loud.
09:11Tootie tootie tootie tootie tootie.
09:15I looked at the corner.
09:17Guys, I saw a church where I had gone to preach
09:20and that really broke me.
09:23Then I turned to the backslider who was with me
09:26and said, shall we go?
09:27Then he said, huh, but we just got here.
09:29I said, so shall we go?
09:31Because that's the thing.
09:32We've already arrived, right?
09:33So now shall we leave?
09:34Then he said, no, but so and so is coming
09:35and all that.
09:36We didn't go.
09:36And that made me really sad.
09:37I said, my God, I even preached here and everything.
09:40Wow.
09:41So I stayed there.
09:42The music blasting.
09:44And I was already like this with my finger in my ear
09:47because that runs in the family,
09:48that thing with loud music.
09:50So I was already like this.
09:51I said, Jesus, I'm the loud one.
09:53And then since it was a favela party,
09:55you see people of questionable character.
09:57Favela neighborhood.
09:58I went to the favela party.
10:00Now you see.
10:01Wow.
10:01Intense.
10:02Me in that situation.
10:04Guys, I'll tell you, I didn't even know.
10:06When I look like this, I said, oh, right?
10:08We get scared.
10:09And I think people noticed that I was lost there.
10:13Right.
10:13And then, guys, there was the moment at the party.
10:17And it didn't take long.
10:19Okay.
10:21I was talking here with the girl and everyone there,
10:24they were all relatives.
10:26And we were talking here, me and the girl.
10:28Then I heard a voice that said, Caroline.
10:35I started shaking right away.
10:37When I turned around, there was an angel standing there.
10:40You might not believe it.
10:41That's up to you.
10:42It's okay.
10:43It was the same angel from the day I was baptized with the Holy Spirit.
10:48Wow.
10:49I understood that angel was different.
10:53And he said, didn't I tell you what would happen to you if you walked away?
10:59Didn't I warn you?
11:00Because I was broken.
11:01My life was shattered, turned upside down.
11:07Didn't I tell you?
11:08What are you doing here?
11:13What are you doing here?
11:14That's not why I called you.
11:16Look at what I have for your life.
11:19My God.
11:20I called you by your name.
11:23My God.
11:24Go back to your home.
11:25I said, guys, I have to go home now.
11:28And by then, everyone was already out of it.
11:30Nobody understood anything.
11:32Everyone was already speaking gibberish.
11:34The angel had called me by my name.
11:36He started talking to me.
11:37At that moment, it felt like a scene from a movie.
11:40Around me, everything went into slow motion.
11:42It was silent.
11:43I didn't hear anything.
11:44There was no noise.
11:45Nothing at all.
11:46I could only look at that angel standing right in front of me.
11:49I was devastated.
11:50And I told them, Jesus is here.
11:52Before I could finish the sentence, the girl who was with me said, Jesus is here.
11:56I said, are you getting goosebumps?
11:58She said, girl, I have goosebumps all over.
12:01I said, yes.
12:02Wow.
12:03I said, Jesus is here.
12:05They started to cry.
12:06I said, guys, we are not out here to backslide.
12:09Let's go to church.
12:10Let's go.
12:11We are all vessels.
12:12So right there, everyone, no one was the same after that.
12:17Some people got married.
12:18Some were consecrated.
12:20Some got promoted.
12:21Some people had their lives restored.
12:22Their marriages restored.
12:23Anyway, no one was the same after that Bale Funk party.
12:26No one made it to the end of the Bale Funk party.
12:29Everyone went home because they were all believers.
12:31Children of believers.
12:32Of backsliders, missionaries, decals.
12:34Everyone had some kind of connection to church there.
12:36And this, this voice you heard, you didn't see anything.
12:38It was just, no.
12:40I saw a spiritual being.
12:42I did.
12:43I didn't see a face.
12:44But I saw that it was a man in white, in a shining robe, standing in front of me.
12:48He called me by my name.
12:49I had my back turned.
12:50He called me by my name.
12:51When I turned around, he was standing in front of me.
12:54And behind him, the music was still playing.
12:56The music was still playing.
12:58And he spoke clearly.
13:00I didn't hear anything around me.
13:03I just turned back and said, let's go.
13:05Jesus is here.
13:07And I left right there and there.
13:09Never again in my life.
13:10Never again.
13:11Never in my life.
13:12Guys, we who are, like Fernanda Bruce Song says, it's true.
13:16Whoever has stepped into the holy of holies doesn't know how to live anywhere else.
13:23They don't know.
13:23They just don't know.
13:25It doesn't make any sense to me.
13:27Leaving my house, you know, and going to certain places, I don't feel at peace.
13:34My soul grieves.
13:35I feel sad to see it.
13:37You know, wow, but so and so is drinking.
13:40This person here is drinking something.
13:42I feel sad.
13:43My soul grieves.
13:44I kneel down.
13:45I pray.
13:46I have this practice.
13:47When I pray at dawn, I place my phone before the Lord.
13:51And I always present the people in my phone contacts, the people who follow me on social media.
13:57I always bring them before the Lord.
13:59You know, I think that that is better than mentioning names.
14:02And I present them to the Lord.
14:04So like I asked God to reach, save, heal and deliver.
14:08And I believe that everything I went through was so that no one could say you don't even know what
14:14you're talking about.
14:15Yeah.
14:15To be able to say that.
14:17So I experienced it myself during that time.
14:20Then I got a tattoo because I thought it was pretty and I wanted to do it.
14:24And today, the Holy Spirit of God makes me uncomfortable about it.
14:28Every time I'm ministering, I feel uncomfortable with this tattoo.
14:32But I understood that it's part of my testimony.
14:36Glory to God, brothers.
14:37What a blessing, right?
14:39Look, that's Caroline Ribeiro.
14:41She's a singer.
14:42I didn't know her, but I saw that she's a blessing.
14:46And she probably saw Jesus, right, brothers?
14:49She said it was an angel, but I believe she saw Jesus there.
14:53And actually, she couldn't see his face.
14:55But the fact that he called her by name and said such intimate things, right?
15:00Brothers, this is the Raiz Gospel Podcast.
15:03And we're going to pray now.
15:05Amen.
15:06May God restore you, you who were touched.
15:09As she herself said, whoever has stepped into the Holy of Holies doesn't know how to live anywhere else.
15:16Look, there's no way.
15:18Brothers, we have the Holy Spirit.
15:20It's like a magnet, except instead of attracting, it doesn't let anything get close.
15:25Because light and darkness, brothers, don't mix.
15:28But one thing I've learned, brothers, more and more each day.
15:32The light is not afraid to invade the darkness, which was the case here.
15:36Look, the light goes where the darkness is.
15:39And Jesus rescues people.
15:41He went where I was.
15:42There in my dark little room.
15:44There in my meaningless, despised life.
15:47Jesus went there and rescued me.
15:50So, if you want to receive a prayer, close your eyes.
15:53Now I want to pray for you.
15:55And, in the end, don't forget to share.
15:57There are a lot of people who need to hear such an impactful testimony like this.
16:01Amen.
16:02Glory to God.
16:03Let's pray.
16:04Lord, my God and my Father, we place ourselves in your wonderful presence at this moment.
16:10Oh, Lord, thank you so much for the air we breathe.
16:14Thank you for your Holy Spirit who lives inside us, we who have already given our lives to the Lord
16:19Jesus.
16:20But, Father, at this moment, I want to intercede for those who are distant, who have strayed,
16:25those who are not living in holiness.
16:28They are even living with someone in a relationship they know is not from God and is not pleasing to
16:33the Lord.
16:34Father, there are people here right now who are involved in addictions, masturbation, pornography, prostitution.
16:42So many wrong things, my Father, involved in lies.
16:46Oh, God, have mercy on your people, Lord.
16:49Have mercy on this man and this woman who now find themselves at rock bottom.
16:54Life going wrong in every way.
16:56Nothing is bearing fruit.
16:57Nothing is working out.
16:59It could be, Lord, that it's because this person has turned away from you.
17:03That's why I ask you now.
17:06Lord, rescue the lost sheep.
17:08You are the good shepherd.
17:11Jesus, the one who leaves the 99 and goes after that one little sheep that got caught in the traps
17:16of this world,
17:17that was deceived and fell into the snares of the devil.
17:22Oh, Jesus, bring this sheep back today, Lord.
17:25Place it on your shoulders and bring it back to fellowship with the other brothers in the family of faith.
17:31Oh, God, thank you, because you are not limited to just one.
17:36You are not confined within churches made by human hands.
17:40You are the one who comes to dwell within us, even when we are sinners and flawed.
17:46The fact that we repent and believe in Jesus and ask for your help, your rescue and show brokenness.
17:54Your word makes it clear that you do not turn these people away.
17:58You always come to meet them.
18:00That's why I ask you,
18:02Jesus, may today be a decisive day in this person's life.
18:07May this person never again, Father, look back, but may they enter into a relationship,
18:13a commitment, a covenant with you.
18:16Lord Jesus, thank you so much, Lord, for this very special moment.
18:21And now I ask you, Father, that this testimony may reach thousands and thousands of lives, Father,
