Sincerely, Pastor Francisco Gomez — My Testimony
Blessings. Today I'm going to share, in summary, how the Lord brought me out of the world and transformed me into one of His end-time disciples.
I was born in the Dominican Republic, a country that is very joyful and full of parties and celebrations, and that is how I was raised — I grew up dancing salsa, bachata, and really every kind of music in the world. Before I was 18 I won a salsa dancing trophy, which after coming to know the Lord I'm ashamed of. I drank a lot from an early age — I remember that even at around 7 years old or younger, at Christmas my parents allowed me to drink ponche and wine. I drank heavily from an early age, I smoked, I got into street fights and trouble, and for a while I was even involved with gangs. Thank God that despite my ignorance, before I turned 19 I had this uneasy feeling that this wasn't good, and I decided to leave the city where I was born to get away from the friends I had, because even in my ignorance I knew it would be very hard to change my life in that environment. I moved to another city to continue college, but I still didn't know God.
In that city I met many other friends, quite different this time — none of them were the type to get into trouble, but they liked rock music. Unfortunately, one of them knew of an occult game played with pens, and we played it several times at my house. Through that, many doors were opened to darkness, to the point that in those days I had a lot of paranormal things happening in the house — I could barely sleep because it seemed like things were being moved. I had many dreams where I didn't clearly understand what was happening, but I would see many different creatures, of different sizes, shapes, and colors, and it was something I dreamed about regularly — in the dreams I was fighting with them. But there was one striking dream that I couldn't understand until fifteen years later.
On one occasion there were a great many demons — at the time I didn't clearly understand that they were demons I was fighting in the dreams, but there were many of them, and after fighting them for a long while I grew very tired. That battle was like it was happening in a desert, and I ran because I no longer had the strength to fight them. As I ran through the desert I came upon something like a small house, and I went inside trying to hide from all the beings chasing me. But even though they had different physical forms and I had shut the door, they got in and surrounded me. In that dream I could no longer defend myself, and just as they were about to grab me, someone appeared — very tall, like the light of the sun when it shines. I couldn't look at his face, but his garments were dazzling white, and when he appeared, all the beings that were about to harm me disintegrated in his light and vanished. I didn't understand that dream until fifteen years later, but it's true that after that dream my life changed — even though I still didn't know God and sinned many times after that in my ignorance, there were positive changes in my conduct and behavior.
A few years after that, I came to the United States, to the East Coast. From there I moved to California, where at first everything was going well by the world's standards — I was working, I continued in college — until around 2007, when my life took an unexpected turn. On one occasion I went to a birthday party during the day, and there were some people with bad intentions, homosexual men, who put something — a drug — into a drink. By the grace of God, the harm the devil intended did not succeed, but it was still a very ugly experience. Thankfully there were some friends of the world there, and I told them, 'Don't drink that, they put something in the drink.' I started feeling a way I had never felt before — very tired, almost wanting to fall asleep. But thank God, with a great deal of effort resisting the sleepiness and exhaustion, about three or four hours later I recovered enough strength to go home, and the people who were with me left as well.
But even though, by the grace of God, they were not able to do the harm to me that I believe they intended, something did happen — that drug, or perhaps a ritual that had been done to that drug, opened the doors of the kingdom of darkness against me. And having always had financial stability, everything began to fall apart. For the first time as an adult I had financial problems, and many abnormal events took place involving losses, including vehicles being damaged. In those same days a very tormenting spiritual persecution began, which it took me several years to understand. People would appear out of nowhere to harass me; someone I didn't even know tried to get me into legal trouble with a false accusation. It was one thing after another — I kept encountering people who wanted to harm me, and it was very confusing. People called me in the early hours of the morning to bother me. If I went somewhere, especially at night, out of nowhere there would be people harassing me. I had a small business, and many strange things happened that caused me to lose money. Many people approached me with bad intentions; some would suddenly come up to me, even at the little business I had, and say, 'You are a brother,' but mockingly, and they were people I didn't even know. My vehicles had their windows broken, tires would come off some vehicles while I was driving, and other vehicles had their engines or transmissions fail. Those were difficult, confusing, distressing times — practically a torment.
Through all of that, I began looking into conspiracy theories. I was practically convinced it was the government, because on more than one occasion there were even people dressed as police who did things to harass me.
But thank God, the Lord used even all of that persecution — which at the time I believed was physical — to bring me to Him.
After several years of investigating everything about these conspiracies, by the grace of God I came to understand that there was something hidden and more sinister behind what I was living through, and that many others were experiencing similar things at the same time. In those days, something the Lord allowed me to understand, in one way or another, was that there was a global deception — that many things we believe to be good, things we had been indoctrinated to trust, like medicine, and even the chemicals used in food, are not necessarily good, or don't actually do what they promise or make us believe.
I understood that all the citizens of the United States were under deception, and not only the United States — the whole world was under deception.
In those days I was confused and tormented, and I remember that my mother, being Catholic, had given me a silver chain — if I recall correctly it had a rosary and a crucifix on it. Every night while I slept, I would wake up to find that chain removed from my neck and lying beside the bed, and it had also turned black. I didn't understand it — I thought, how strange, that this chain keeps coming off me, and why has it turned black if it's silver.
And in my ignorance, I would ask God questions, like why that chain kept coming off me at night, and how it was possible that we were all being deceived, and who it was that had made us believe things that weren't true. I had many books because I loved reading, and I came to understand that even what the books said — though some of it was true — other parts were lies orchestrated to deceive us.
But one night something happened that the Lord used to give me more understanding of the truth and to keep drawing me toward Him. I had a dream about a very muscular being with two horns — I could describe it as a human gorilla, because it was hairy and black, with a face like a man's but the build of a gorilla, very large and extremely muscular, too muscular to be human. It was seated on a king's throne, and when I saw it I turned back — I didn't want to go in where it was. In those days, on several occasions, attempts were made on my life disguised as accidents.
That very same day as the dream, a person who had befriended me — someone I later realized was a false friend, involved in something like freemasonry — invited me to go somewhere with him, and we stopped to eat in a distant city. Leaving the dinner, we had a small accident, and the person got out of the car. I looked into his eyes and something wasn't right. He pulled out a gun and put it to my head — and honestly, only the Lord saved my life, because he came right to the point of killing me.
It was an intense experience, but the Lord used it and brought to my mind the dream I'd had of that creature, which was a demon, and the Lord made me clearly understand that it was that creature that had tried to kill me by using that young man, and that they were the ones who had been persecuting me, seeking to destroy me.
At that moment it was as if a light came on for me, because for the first time I knew who my enemy was, and who was deceiving the world.
I remember saying, 'Lord, everything I believed to be true is not — I have been completely deceived. I want to start over like a child; I want to know the truth.'
And I began reading the Bible, listening to sermons, and praying. When I read that we should fast, I began fasting, and that process took about three or four months, until one day I was at the small office where I worked. By that point I was seeking God all day long — even while working I listened to the Bible and anything related to God — and I began attending a Pentecostal church.
After seeking the Lord for several months, there came a day when for the first time I understood sin, and how abominable sin is before God, and I understood that I could have been dead and in eternal torment, and that the Lord had given me the opportunity to live and to know Him. I had just finished working and was alone in the office. I locked the doors, fell to my knees, and wept, asking God's forgiveness for all my rebellion, disobedience, and every kind of sin I had committed. I wept and mourned before God, and that was a new beginning. When I repented with my whole heart, something happened in me, because I remember that about two weeks later some people said to me, 'What's going on with you? You look different — it's like you're not the same person anymore.'
In those days, after repenting, the Lord completely freed me from a number of worldly things — the desire for parties, dancing, alcohol, and every kind of sexual sin. The only thing left was cigarettes, which took a few more months before the Lord freed me from that as well.
In those days I sought God fervently through prayer, fasting, and reading the Word, and I remember having various dreams, including ones with angry snakes trying to attack me.
In those days, while reading the Word, I received a revelation from Hebrews 4:12: 'For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword; it pierces to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'
When I had been going to the Pentecostal church for about two months, I had another revelation while reading Mark 16:16-20.
About three months after that, I went to the Dominican Republic with the mother of my children, and while we were there I felt the Lord placing it on my heart to stay.
And I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
A few weeks later, while I was praying and fasting, the Holy Spirit came upon me, and I felt... it has now been a little more than seven years since then, and to this day I still feel that fire, the presence of God in me.
I didn't know what had happened, and when I prayed for a person, they immediately fell to the floor.
Then I prayed for the first child with autism, and he was healed almost immediately, in about three minutes. Many people were healed of pain, and from that moment on I haven't stopped. Little by little the Lord instructed me, and when I understood that the Lord had anointed me with the gift of healing and authority to set people free, I was overjoyed — I thought the churches would receive me and that I would have many brothers and sisters in the Lord... From that time until today I have spent all day in prayer and ministry. It has now been more than seven years in which I typically pray 10 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week — I have not taken a single day off in seven years.
But that was only the beginning of a new stage.
I went from one church to another. The Lord had given me discernment, and my spirit grieved within me as I listened to their words and watched their works, so I kept going from one church to the next.
I remember that at the time I even thought Apostle Maldonado was of God, and I traveled to Florida to visit his church. I was happy because I was going to meet someone I believed to be a man of God, and to see what it was like.
About a year after being anointed, the Lord showed me that we were once again in a time like that of Moses, when His people were held captive, in slavery — except that alongside the slavery there is deception, and they don't know they're being deceived.
And since then there has been a battle here on earth against the powers of darkness, just as there is above in heaven, and many of those who fight alongside the Dragon have lost their dwelling place in heaven.
Many wonderful experiences have happened in this spiritual battle, and it would be very difficult for me to share them all, since it has now been more than seven years in spiritual warfare, more than 10 hours a day.
The further this battle has advanced, the more conviction I have about the evil of the apostasy we are living in, and how the devil deceives the whole world.
There is no communion between darkness and light, and so, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I invite you to come out from among them, to turn to the Lord with a contrite heart, with fasting, sackcloth, and mourning.
Come out of man-made religions and return to the Lord. He came to make disciples for Himself, not disciples for religions — by their fruits you will know them; a bad tree does not bear good fruit.
This is only a new beginning — we are rushing quickly toward the end. Mental illnesses like autism, madness, and insanity, and chronic illnesses like cancer and tumors are fighting against us right now, but they too will fall, and there will be no dwelling place for them in the heavens, because greater is He who is with us than he who is in the world.
When these mental illnesses have finally been defeated, the last, true, and great revival will be at the door, and then will come the end. Turn your hearts back to the Lord, the King of Kings — He is coming soon. Be among the wise virgins and fill your lamps; be the faithful servant and do as your Lord says. The King of Kings is coming soon — come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
