Hello to all cybernauts!
It is a pleasure to be here with you! You who participating in these 21 days, you are living a faith that is with God! You are searching and being attentive to knowing God and His Will. If you truly are attentive, then you are really taking advantage of these days.
Today is the twelfth day, and the question is as following: “What is a perverse heart for God?”
Let’s find out? Accompany in the book of Proverbs, chapter 6, verse 14:
Perversity is in his heart,
He devises evil continually.
He sows discord.
Therefore calamity shall come suddenly;
Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.These six things the Lord hates,
Yes seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil.
A false witness who speaks lies.
And one who sows discord among brethren.
(Proverbs 6: 14-19)
Do you see what is a perverse heart? It is everything that is related to doing harm to another.
“He devises evil continually.” (Proverbs 6:14)
What does it mean to devise evil continually? It is when you plot, plan on vengeance, and sometimes returning evil with evil (revenge). You are upset with someone… So you ignore them, hurt them, speak words that are going to wound them… You devise evil so that that the result is to hurt that person, just like they did to you.
“He sows discord. “ (Proverbs 6: 14)
Discord is when there exists a “dispute”, an attack, and an influence as well. When you are speaking badly of another person, what do you do? In reality, you teach the other person to look with bad eyes, how you are looking. And the same spirit of annoyance, anger, and of being upset also passes on to the other person! They are going to discriminate that person and sometimes they don’t even know them… But because you spoke in that manner about them, then that person you were speaking to also begins to discriminate and ignore them as well.
Did you know that sometimes you do this because of jealousy and envy? Did you know this?
What is evil? Devising evil, sowing discord; it is the very opposite of everything that is good! All the unhappiness and misery damages the other person! To sow, which means that you plant a seed a discord and you pass on that spirit to another.
“Therefore calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. “ (Proverbs 6:15)
This is horrible! Just imagine, when we are broken, there exists the cure of forgiveness. You turn away from God, but He forgives you. When it says, “Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy,”… this is very grave!
This is the case of many, that once were in our midst and spoke ill. They devised evil, sowed discord, made divisions right in the middle of our church, divided brothers, spiritual families, which is exactly how the rein of the devil started. He would say, “I am also an angel, full of “responsibilities” here in heaven, I am the most beautiful, I walk with the brilliance of these precious stones…” The devil filled himself with pride, and took one third of the angels with whom also rebelled against God.
This exact spirit of discord is passed on and today these people are condemned, there doesn’t exist any cure for them.
See what God says:
These six things the Lord hates,
Yes seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil.
A false witness who speaks lies.
And one who sows discord among brethren.
(Proverbs 6: 16-19)
- A proud look: It’s when the person doesn’t submit, is arrogant, proud… God hates this!
- A lying tongue: A person that lies.
- Hands that shed innocent blood: When someone for example, speaks of someone of God, and you influence them in such a way that that the other person changes their “eyes,” their way of looking at that person in question who is of God.
Let’s suppose that you speak badly to someone else about Bishop Macedo, who is of God. So, you “kill” any opportunity of that person of searching for God in the Universal Church. Since that person has heard so many bad things about Bishop Macedo, they won’t accept it anymore. In other words, you shed innocent blood. That person who doesn’t know of the truth, was influenced in such a way that they will never have any hope of finding God, even if they are at the bottom of a very deep and dark pit, they will never search for the Universal Church, or the real God.
I am sorry if you are from another church, but I am going to be very sincere with you, I do not believe in any other church… Sorry.
I believe in the church of Jesus Christ which is the Universal Church. I live in the Universal Church and I see what is just, what is pure, and what is healthy for my spiritual life. Everything that I have lived up until now, I never saw malice or evil from Bishop Macedo’s part, and if there was any evil in a man that was “supposedly” of God, it was because he was deceitful. In no way shape or form, have I seen this spirit in my father; I lived with him in my earlier years, and I have never seen this in him. I never saw greed, on the contrary, I see in him someone who is humble, someone who is always ready to serve God, to learn, that has love for the souls and who works incessantly for them! There is no vacation, his time is always investing and thinking in the things of God. I feel honored to have a Leader, not just a father, but a man of God, a true Moses, a true apostle, a true Bishop! I’m sorry for saying all these things to you, but it’s true, a true keeper of my soul!
When someone speaks ill of a man of God, they are shedding innocent blood! There are those who are crooks… and those are the ones that should be denounced, for the love of God and the souls. Hand that shed innocent blood are also those people who are in our midst and that take advantage of good people, of their sincerity.
My cybernaut friend, you do not have to worry or be on defense, with bad eyes, because whoever has this spirit that sheds innocent blood, that is in our midst and is evil, sooner or later they will be revealed. And if you see this, you have the all the right to speak and prove what is happening. Reveal and say, “Look, I have proof…” We will, with pleasure, hear you and not with pleasure in hearing destruction, but hearing with pleasure because we want to resolve this situation, because in the Universal Church, we do not live in injustice, our house is not of injustice, it is the House of God. Here we do not tolerate or have injustice!
- A heart that devises wicked plans: See that the people that speak ill of the Universal Church, of the man and woman of God, they try to defame in some manner, to avoid others of knowing the truth, like I one day became aware of it. People that once had the privilege of knowing the truth and did not want to, opted for what was evil, unjust, for the “broad door” where you can do whatever you please… They became as upset as Cain! When someone offers what is true and just… they don’t become angry, and that is why there is revolt.
Be careful cybernaut! You might be one of those! All you need is to be standing up for you to fall… But those who are on their knees, before the Presence of God, searching, in looking at their own self, they will never be shaken!
- Feet that are swift in running to evil: They run to do justice with their own hands, they want to impose what they think needs to be done.
- A false witness who speaks lies and one who sows discord among brethren: People who are in our midst and that keep gossiping and speaking ill. That is also an abomination to God! His Soul hates this!
See how serious it is when someone tries to interfere with you and someone else; that does evil. How God is wonderful! He gave His Life for us sinners, gave His only Son; He didn’t give just any angel, He gave His Best to save souls!
Who are you, who am I to harm and sow discord between brothers? Think of this!
You have evil, malice, because someone you knew left the Work of God or an you are an ex-pastor or ex-wife… Be it whomever that passed in your life and you saved those memories, the malice of those who did not give a good testimony and this is your reason for not giving your all, of immersing body, mind, and soul to God… You are always excluding yourself, with fear that they are going to take advantage of your sincerity… DO NOT be afraid! Because they erred, they are the ones who are going to pay “the high price” in this life. And those who are just, God justifies them. From the fruit the tree is known. You will see, by the fruit, is the tree good or bad?
You are the one that is going to choose in these 21 days who you want to be! What are opting to be?
Leave your comment below… be it what it may.
If you have to report someone, you should go to the Pastor that is responsible and they will provided the necessary action in that respect. Do not be a coward, search and do what is good.
What is good? It is to guard the church of Jesus Christ, to look with good eyes, to maintain and guard your salvation. Because if you look with good eyes, you are guarding your salvation, my soul, so that I am watching myself.
A big hug for you! Tomorrow we will be back!

I am so thankful to have read this this morning. I am reading the book of Proverbs daily and this particular scripture stuck out to me about the Perverse Heart, and when I read it through your understanding, I have to say I am guilty of these acts and I hope and pray that I am not beyond forgiveness. I will repent and pray and hope God will have mercy on my soul, my life. I didn’t know what this scripture meant, but oh my God, I will heed the warning.
I am not a person, well at least I think I’m not, to go around gossiping, but how do you explain yourself of when you feel hurt and let down without the heart to blemish your fellow sister or brother in the Body of Christ? Meaning they know your past or are not for you and they don’t talk to you even though your intentions are that you are now trying to be responsible for your life and family and assume you don’t care about your God ordained assignment or assume you are out to hurt them and I feel I am on this earth alone, even after openly admitting my mistakes, yet I assume I am being called a liar? I messed-up a lot in my life and this year I decided to take a stand and do what is right, but no one sees my inward daily spiritual battles I am facing because I have no one to talk to so silent frustration is festering in my heart, and my behavior is showing non-caring all the more? Pray for me. I am at a place in life that it seems so dark and dim, yet please know my choices of putting others before me and my children, doing things my way that was contrary to the Word of God and the laws on the earth. I am seeking direction like never before. I rejected instructions because I was wrapped up in people pleasing and I did admit that truth, but I’m by myself, I forsook my position in the House of God because of my heart, but I am in need of prayer.
I pray you will lift me up because this warfare is something I am facing for the first time in my life. Trying to right wrongs in my life, start a business, get my family back where we should be and get back in my God ordained position to build and advance the Kingdom of God.
Thank you,
LaCourdia

Thank you Mrs Vivian for the powerful and truthful message. I thank God for bringing the Universal Church to South Africa, because this is where I found my true God, who has delivered me from darkness. I am doing more in this 21 days of fasting to be more closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is individual and I have to seek Him diligently. May the God of the Bible bless you and all those who read your message.

Thank you Mrs Vivian for your honesty, I’m learning a lot in these 21 days and after my faith will be renewed for me to serve God more and more, I have to always guide my faith because it’s the most valuable thing in my life, and I thank God for the universal church.
