Pedro was 14 when his father divorced his mother after she had an affair. Two months later, his mother walked out on the children leaving Pedro in charge of his sisters and an infant cousin she had been caring for.
Pedro, hurt, turned to a "new age white magic" doctor—a Satan worshiper who once healed him of an ailment when he was 9. He told Pedro that he could give him power and a god who is going to care about him and make him rich. That he (Pedro) would be able to grow a lot in this religion and become so powerful that he would be invincible if he would study the materials and consecrate himself to this god.
Pedro agreed to become a student. He went through the ritual of consecrating himself, including donning an amulet that connected him to his idol/god (the spirit world), and declaring his love for his god.
Powers soon became evident in Pedro's life. He started training and growing in his power, moving small objects with his mind.
Pedro started hearing Satan speak to him, telling him that his destiny was to go to hell with him. It was the reason why he was born and to fight in this huge battle against Christ/God, who is a selfish god that wanted all the glory and praise for Himself. Satan wanted him to fight to help take back what God had stolen from him (The devil is really a good liar).
Pedro sank deeper and deeper into Satanism. He soon was placed in charge of a group of other teens who also desired to grow "their powers." Pedro says he was given visions about the teens, insight into their lives, making it easy to convince them to follow his lead. They held séances and spoke to the dead, they used an Ouija board regularly with great success, and they spent an inordinate amount of time in cemeteries where things went on that he prefers not to discuss.
The deeper he sank, the less human he became. He didn’t laugh or cry. He had zero feelings. He later learnt the power were simply demons working through him. The demons deceived him to believe he is superior to everyone around him. Everyone except for the ‘weird people’.
Every now and then a ‘weird’ person would walk by. Pedro knew nothing about God, but these people made him scared. He didn't want to be close to them. He wanted to run away from them—there was something shining on them ... it was just too shiny for him, to the point that he couldn't even look at them!
Later he would learn that these people weren't just Christians by name, but people who had the fire of the living God within them—and he feared them for reasons he did not understand.
One day, while in college, Pedro wanted to turn in a paper late, but the teacher denied him, saying he would fail—but if Pedro would attend his Saturday meeting he held in the class each week, he could turn in his paper after that.
The meeting was a Bible study!
The moment Pedro crossed the gate into the college on Saturday, something hit his spirit like he was about to die. His body started shaking and it got worse as he drew closer to the venue. It was all the demonic power and devils living in him who were scared to come into the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, but he didn't know that then, all he knew was he wanted to run fast and far away from that place.
Pedro attempted to turn in his paper and leave but the teacher said he had to sit through the meeting. During the meeting he realized that God loved him; died on the cross for him; He was not against him. He wanted to rescue him.
As the meeting ended the teacher prayed for Pedro and boom! It was like an explosion! He fell to the ground as he felt like a million volts ripping through his body. Then this voice came into his mind and kept repeating, 'God is real! God is alive! Jesus is real! God is touching you now!’
Pedro stayed on the floor as the powers of darkness drained from him and the Holy Spirit worked in him. For three days, Pedro did not sleep. God revealed Himself to him, explaining things to him, helping him to understand His power, and how he was now coming to the light, the side of God.
Pedro is now 34, spends time mentoring young people to grow in their prayer lives and experience the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
Pedro says, "Christians need to understand how powerful the name of Jesus is. When Jesus is 100 percent in our lives, we are so powerful against the enemy.”
