Look at the way they’re sucking up to her!
May 18, 2012 | By: Cristiane Cardoso | Posted in: Behavior, Spiritual Growth, Strength, Testimony
I had gone astray from my faith in God, and when I returned, there was this “trend” of new things happening in the church, including your blog, your books and posts. Everyone was following you and was commenting on your posts, and I would say: “Look at the way they’re sucking up to her. Just because of who her husband and dad are, the only thing left to do is kiss the ground she walks on!”
Even so, I added your blog to my favourites on my iPhone, and also liked you on Facebook. But in spite of this I still didn’t like you very much. I thought it unnecessary so many comments and flattery towards you.
Time went by, I got baptised in water, I became closer to the people of the church, started evangelizing and helping those around me, and all of a sudden I found myself reading your books, defending you on Facebook, and even taking part in the #Godllywoodchallenge. Today I find you beautiful, authentic and so useful to God. I want to be a virtuous woman; I want to be a V woman. Thank you, Ana Cassia.
Look how things are! Do you know what this is? When we don’t know God, we have problems with people, even without knowing who they are. If we don’t know God, we hate even the people we don’t know… But, when we have a true encounter with God, everything changes; we start seeing people like God sees them… It is impossible to not get on with those who are children of the same Father.

very strong and true because if we don’t have an encounter with God we tend to have a bad eye on the things of God but when you have an encounter everything changes,May God continue blessing You More because I have learned thru the post and books that you publish… Also the flesh will allow is to have negative approach where as in spirit we are able to see souls rather than people.
Thank you

Dear Mrs Cris! Thank you for sharing Ana Cassia’s story and thank God she is a new person now! It really happens that people hate you and judge you and tell lies about you even though they do not know you, but once they find God and we become children of the same Father,all that changes! Thank You
Very true, for i HAVE done that in the past also including you Ms. Chris, even Pastor’s and Pastor’s Wife, but now, what can I say?
Is all different.
yes it is true. besides cristiane is not sucked up!!! she does many things because she wants to and because she is guided by God.
i am glad Anna had an encounter with God, because she sounded a little bit envious with that comment!!! we should not be envious, and we shouldn’t kiss anybody’s steps or ground! only God’s through Jesus…
in faith

Really true!
To have an encounter with God is really important for God alone can only change a person and make this person to become a new person.
Thank you Mrs. Cris!
Kisses!
So true Mrs. Cris, Praised God her eyes was opened:)
That is through, if you dont have the encounter with God, you see things in the different way. like my self my heart was so better, fool of hatred, i us to look at some other people whom i think their better than me and be angry to them. cause fight with no reason. why? because i didn’t have the encouter with God.
If you don’t have God in your life, you don’t have peace. but guess what as soon as i received Jesus in my life, by the very same day i received peace in my life, i started to have love to the people. b/c i didn’t have freands, my freands was only children.
To be born of God and have encounter with him, changes things even in your eyes. the way you look at things and your behaviour. b/c those who are from God are difference from the people of this world.
This is very true Mrs. Cris. I am happy for her.
Thanks for sharing.
It’s true. When you have an encounter with God you view people and situations differently.
Thank You for sharing Mrs Cris
This is very true!!When you know Him you become like Him!
Hi Mrs Cardoso. This is so true indeed. Many people judge with out even knowing the person. But when we. Become closer to God and have an encounter with him. We begin to do the will of God… Also the flesh will allow is to have negative approach where as in spirit we are able to see souls rather than people. Thank you
Praise God she gave a chance to herself by continuing reeading the blogs,imagine those who just become ignorant.
I can’t agree more with this piece. Two can only walk together only when there is agreement. Unity in Spirit is essential in being a part of the body of Christ.
This happened to me but in a different context. When I got saved, baptized and born of God and started on my journey to change my life, the people in spiritual authority who were meant to be helping me on my journey suddenly started telling me that my life was not changing, I wasn’t growing etc.
They became so negative that I had to seek counsel from my V-trainer who then pointed me to the direction of the church.
You can only imagine my shock when I learnt it was they who were receiving counselling from the direction of the church because they were are not yet born of God.
I felt so betrayed and went back to God for comfort. He told me to treat is as a betrayal by a trusted friend or lover. To forgive, be healed, move on, love them and pray for them.
Dear Mrs Cris
This is true because if we don’t have an encounter with God we tend to have a bad eye on the things of God but when you have an encounter everything changes,May God continue blessing You and Your family More and More because I am this woman today I have learned thru the post that we published
Good evening Mrs. Cristiane this is so strong, it reminds me of this verse: “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.”Titus 1:15
Thank God for His loving kindness this lady is now in the light, now she is PURE!!
