Marlene Bowers

My name is Marlene Bowers and I am 35 years old. Before coming to the Universal Church I suffered from anger problems, drug and alcohol abuse, low self-esteem, financial problems, family problems, relationship issues with family and friends.

I was also unable to stay committed to a job for long periods of time; I would find any excuse to leave.

On my search for the “Truth” I became part of what is called the New Age movement or Occultism, I was looking for something in my life to overcome these issues was invited by a friend to attend a Deliverance Service with the Universal Church. I decided to go along, as I liked to seek knowledge.

Every time I attended a service my spiritual eyes began to see more, I felt like the Pastor was only speaking to me, which his message was exactly what was playing out in my life at that time. Over a period of time I began to put certain things into practice and slowly Jesus Christ began to reveal Himself to me.

Shortly after I gave myself to Christ through my baptism I broke down completely, I realized how my pride had kept me from seeing Jesus in my life.
All anger, drug and alcohol abuse was left behind. I got married with my partner of 9 years.
Our financial life has been blessed with doorways opening to new opportunities in both businesses for ourselves and owning our own home.
