Yvette Castillo revealed Jesus descended from heaven and wrapped her in His robe. Seeing that, she knew God had made her clean. That was the culmination of Yvette’s redemption story, which began when she was still a homeless teenager popping pills and drinking alcohol and who got herself pregnant. She found shelter among a group of drug addicts in an abandoned house where she admitted to have been raped.
Yvette trusted the drugs instead of trusting God to make her happy. She thought it was an easier solution, but it wasn’t. She was raised by an alcoholic father and a mother who disappointed her. She grew up hating people around her. She revealed that she even invoked the powers of darkness to give her “the power to hurt everyone, to stop people from messing with me.” She didn’t know that she was making a pact with the devil. Not even the birth of her child when she was just 14 years old stopped her “from doing bad things.” “Nobody could stop me,” said Yvette, who admitted having had two abortions. She eventually became suicidal as she heard the voice of the devil laughing: “This is where I wanted you. We’re going to destroy you and your children.” In her despondency, she went to church together with her equally messed up daughter and cried out to God.
A pastor approached her and told her: “God wants you to know that He loves you. He doesn’t hold anything against you.” She said the pastor’s words of love and acceptance melted her heart of stone. She felt so much lighter. Something awoke inside of me that God spoke to me and said ‘I love you,’” she said, crying out in tears, “I’m sorry, God!”
