Marisol Pareja

Having been born into Catholicism, Marisol knew very little about the Bible and what God was all about. She realized at the age of 29 that something was missing from her life. Not knowing it was Jesus Christ, she took comfort in the wrong spirit realm. After not being fulfilled spiritually by the Catholic church she attended. She remembers at the age of 18 when she decided she would never walk into another Catholic Church because people were talking when the Priest was teaching. She saw no faith there and she kept searching until she found a Pentecostal Christian church in Miami, Florida where she was saved and baptized at age 29.

Biblical studies were not prevalent in her new Pentecostal Church, and Marisol did not realize the importance of reading God's word nor did she feel led to do so at that time. With her mother living in another state and living on very limited means, and her dad being a Roman Catholic, she was all alone and had no real Christian friends at that time. Having been led astray for many years after her profession of faith to Jesus, she fell into temptation by going to psychics for guidance who assured her they were from God. They also told her that they were the secret society of Jesus Christ. Pareja grew up in Miami, Florida. A city filled with Santeria, voodoo, and psychics on every corner. As she was growing up, her stepmother also went to psychics for spiritual guidance, it was all that she knew! Not knowing that God is against seeking advice from psychics, she met a Vudu priest who told her everything about her life with very little effort. Intrigued by his abilities, she wanted the same abilities and agreed to start the practice of Vudu at the age of 33. The Houngan or Voodoo Priest told her that she was one of them and that her life could not move forward unless she got initiated. As a requirement for initiation into Voodoo, she had to witness a voodoo ceremony. After witnessing a girl drop to the ground at this ceremony and completely possessed, Marisol knew that Voodoo was not the religion for her immediately.

Not being able to see a way out of her dilemma a friend who cared deeply for her asked her to a Baptist church one Sunday afternoon in September of 2009. She had a lot of anger built up throughout the years of her young adult life. That particular day the Pastor was speaking about anger and how anger led certain people of the Bible to horrible actions that they would later regret. She knew, at that moment that God was speaking to her through this Pastor and she rededicated her life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ used her friend to help lead Marisol out of Vudu and into the loving arms of Jesus Christ and she has never looked back. In love with Jesus, she began telling others of his love as often as she can.

Marisol's life changed forever! Marisol was baptized in the ocean with 500 other believers two weeks after her rededication to Jesus and he instructed her to write books to help others overcome witchcraft and demonic oppression.
