The Secret of My Triumph over Evil, Chaos, and Pain

By Hector Rivera

Héctor Rivera is a man who had everything: family, a successful business, and his health. His world was turned upside down when misguided business practices landed him in prison. Héctor struggled deeply as his world crumbled around him, but he found solace in the Bible and the power of God.

This book follows the harrowing journey of Héctor as he struggles with the horrors of prison life, cancer, and even deportation. In jail, Héctor witnessed police brutality, deathly beatings, and was surrounded by deadly and contagious diseases. However, with the power of God, he overcame all these obstacles.

Amid all the horror of that situation, Héctor built a deeper connection with God and has since committed to sharing the healing power of the Lord. With the help of his faith, Héctor was able to overcome every obstacle and rebuild his life stronger than before.

In these times of unrest, injustice, and uncertainty, The Secret of My Triumph over Evil, Chaos, and Pain shows how God has the power to heal us and set us on the right path.

Introduction

I was in Kern Valley State Prison located in the city of Delano, California. This prison is also called Supermax level 4 because inmates there have been sentenced for serious crimes, among them armed robbery, possession of weapons, drugs, drug trafficking, kidnapping, rape, murder, etc.

I was in a dorm with around 120 inmates accused of different crimes. There were white, black, Hispanic, Eastern European, African, and even Middle Eastern prisoners.

That day, I had not been able to sleep the whole night. Most of the inmates had made a big mess because the guards had left us alone all night. Many of the inmates took advantage of this opportunity to get drunk with the liquor that they made themselves. The liquor is called pruno, and it is made with the oranges and apples that are served in prison. The inmates let the oranges and the apples rot to later convert them into strong liquor.

Also that day, I saw there were all kinds of drugs, from marijuana to heroin. For those who don’t know, in California prisons, sureños (Mexican Americans) and paisas (Mexican prisoners) are in charge of the distribution and sale of heroin throughout all California prisons. Whites are in charge of the distribution and sale of methamphetamines. African Americans are in charge of selling and distributing marijuana inside California prisons.

Drugs are a big business inside prisons; large amounts of drugs are moved inside and are mostly introduced by some corrupt prison workers and by visitors who come to visit an inmate. It is not uncommon in prison to see inmates who become seriously ill from overdoses. Prisoners die daily from overdose. It was really sad to see these kinds of scenes: inmates injecting, absorbing, and smoking drugs throughout the day and night.

In prisons, there is no privacy and one can observe everything that goes on inside the walls. Even when you are sitting on the toilet, there is no privacy. Some inmates kept using drugs for upwards of seven days in a row, sometimes more; during this time, they would not sleep at all. It was like being surrounded by zombies.

Normally, when an inmate had an overdose, the guards were called immediately, but that day, no one called because they knew that they could get everyone out of the dorm and into the cold weather to do a thorough inspection everywhere to find the drug that was being consumed at those moments.

By those days, I had already given my life to God, and I was only praying and asking Him to please intervene with His great power so that all these nightmares would end soon. While I was deep in meditation and praying, I saw something that totally paralyzed me.

Vision

I had my eyes closed when I saw an angel coming down from heaven and telling me to quickly open the Bible to the book of Revelation 20:13: The Sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.

This terrified me, but the angel immediately told me to go to Revelation 13:14, and with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, which was fatally wounded and then came back to life. He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.

I opened my eyes quickly because I didn’t understand what this meant, but when I closed them again, I saw something worse. I saw a big, red shrimp, strong and alive, that was throwing large amounts of water everywhere. From that water I saw human bodies falling down on a cold, hard ground.

Then the angel told me to go to the book of Matthew 2:16. There I read how Herod was filled with anger and had children less than two years old killed. I was horrified by this but still did not understand anything.

I kept reading the Bible, and the years 2018–2022 began to enter my mind. I was wondering, What does all this have to do with me? What does it mean? I don’t understand. Open my heart, God, and make me understand all this!

Then after meditating, I could perceive that in those years, very terrible things were going to happen: attacks on families, attacks on the sacred things of God, attacks on immigrants, on the poor, middle class, and refugees. I foresaw violence and mass murder in schools and public places. I foresaw corruption in the highest levels of government and in the Holy Land, where Jesus was born. I could see violence, protests, and massive riots in different countries and in the United States. Massive destruction, wars, civil wars, attacks on the earth that God gave us, and many other atrocities that I could see would eventually happen in those years.

Sometimes I have woken up suddenly and violently, sweating all over my body and remembering that vision I had that day. It is no secret or mystery to anyone, and I think we all know that these things are already happening: families are being separated by the modern antichrist who rules this world, refugees and immigrants are having doors shut in their faces, and great walls are being built to separate people more and more. The poor are further sunk in poverty. The rich have seized more and more of the wealth and have concentrated it in their world reduced to just a few.

Divorces and sexual immoralities are at an alarming level. The murders of babies are carried out, even after their birth. Hundreds of citizens are being executed in this country in plain daylight by racist nationalists and corrupted cops.

The church is under attack, even by high-ranking members of the church, and no one says anything. Mobs of anti-Catholics are smashing and destroying sacred images and statues even inside and outside the churches, and the cowardly priests and bishops just look at it and don’t say anything. Chinese pharmaceutical cartels continue to poison and kill thousands upon thousands of human beings around the world with their disgusting, horrifying, and diabolical poisons.

Socialism and communism have more and more control of the world every day. The light of faith is dying throughout the entire world.

In Our Lady of the Good Success’s aparicion that happened on February 2, 1594, the Virgin predicted that all these calamities were going to happen, but she also predicted the triumph of Jesus if we approach Him with humble faith, without pride, do penance, and consecrate her immaculate heart to Russia by the Pope.

Consecrate yourselves to me, to my immaculate heart, and I will protect your nation under my mantle full of graces. Listen to me, please I beg you! I am your Heavenly Mother, I beg you: do not make me weep again seeing so many of my children die for your faults for not accepting me and allowing Satan to act.

Children, the church has entered the period of great trial, and in many of you, the faith will become unstable.

Be aware that if we don’t do as she says, God will send a great chastisement as punishment for our rebellion.

A great calamity and confusion will come if we don’t repent.

Everlasting perdition and eternal damnation will be all around those proud people who have rejected their Creator.

Also, in the impressive appearance of Our Lady of La Salette, on her secret message, she said that the church was going to be attacked by the devil in the twentieth and twenty-first century from within the church itself. Since the devil has not been able to destroy the church, he has now sent groups of priests with homosexual tendencies to destroy the church from within, but he will not succeed because God has given authority and power to Our Holy Mother of heaven so that with her humility she can destroy the enemy.

Woe for the group of homosexual priests who want to destroy the church. I have seen in visions and dreams hundreds of priests rolling in the flames of hell. Repent of your great sin, and serve God as he commands and wants.

Listen to this, parishioners and believers of the Church that Christ founded: This is not an abusive church. This is the holy church that has fallen into the hands of diabolical and abusive men who are trying to destroy the church from within.

Ezekiel 44:13: They may not approach me to minister as priests. They may not touch any of my holy things or the holy offerings, for they must bear the shame of all the detestable sins they have committed.

Because of your iniquity and disobedience, my people will be left without a shepherd, with anxiety and an unknowing of what’s going on. Repent and turn back to me so I
