John 3:¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Matthew 24:¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The words on John 3:16-17 and Mathew 24:14 become more and more real as time goes by, to see the immense love of Lord to go after his creation, to first have died for us letting them place nails in his hands and feet, be hung on a cross, be lashed, spat on, humiliated for us so that when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior we can be healed, forgiven, given purpose, life, be taken out of the darkness into the light and all that we receive as it is written in the Bible. Every time I get sent to a country the days before I get to feel it, from not being able to sleep to very mercy less personal attacks in different ways, but when I arrive to the country and see the Holy Spirit move it all makes sense.

In the last blog I was led to share how the day before leaving Argentina to go in to Paraguay, in the specific areas the Lord was sending me a sister in Christ received money that she was not expecting and was led to give it to me, which was so the Holy Spirit as I in my natural mind did not know how I would get to the airport there and how I was going to arrive to the destination in Paraguay from the airport, but the day before he placed that in the sister’s account, Jesus the walk of faith. The tickets have been bought and the place to stay was also provided for, as I mentioned before in the specific place he needed the Great Commission answered. When I was arriving to the place, which by the way I never know what the area will look like, how it is or anything else about it. The Lord has made me understand that it is about the souls. The place I was placed in Paraguay is in a 6 floor building and I heard in the spirit when I arrived: “You will see why you are here.” I had also heard the Center so there were two areas covered in this mission.

I was greeted by a woman who worked at the building, she asked some questions to register me. I was led to give her the Good News of Jesus paper and introduce my self as a missionary Pastor, which is the way I was led to introduce myself when the Holy Spirit started sending me to the latin countries, possibly because that is a familiar title. The Lord has made me understand that answering the Great Commission is not about titles but about the souls, that it should be less of us more of him, as stated in John 3:30 in the Bible, because it is only thru Jesus that we get all that we get not thru a human being or an object. The next few days opportunities opened to build relationships one to one with most of the workers, who served as securities and some of the tenants. In this particular building I heard one to one, not as I had heard in previous buildings the Lord had had me stay, as he is the Lord he knows how to reach each person. There was provision also made thru some of the people that were ministered, such as water and edibles. Marriages were spoken to as well as the Holy Spirit gave word and prayer. People in businesses were given the Good News of Jesus and prayed with, the whole area was saturated with the Holy Spirit. There were a few nights that became really dark as I could not go to sleep and was very anxious as to not hearing about my daughter, crying and crying. Praying and listening to the word helped in those moments and then in the morning there was a sense of a new day and hope. The Lonely sense is not as strong here, as I had sensed it in other countries. I get to feet what the Lord feels for the areas he places me. I was able to interact one to one with more people here, which also helped.

In between filling the area’s people with the Good News and answering the Great commission in the area I was placed in; the Holy Spirit led me to go to the center and share the Good News of Jesus with the homeless, business people in the area and anyone who would be walking by. It was amazing to me and it always is how the Lord has such a perfect time, there were people who would not feel worthy to be forgiven and after hearing what the Holy Spirit had to say to them about repenting and forgiveness they would look so hopeful and come to Jesus as their Lord and Savior, it’s literally taking someone out of the darkness into the light. Experiencing those moments make the moments of brutal attacks and darkness so worth it. The Lord has made me understand that no matter how dark or evil it may look in the news and what the world wants to make us think; the Holy Spirit is always at work. More and more people everyday are coming to Jesus, REVIVAL, REVIVAL of the souls, of his creation. People who thru their repentance and coming to Jesus will be culture changers and spiritual shifters.

Also everything we go thru just as the Lord who came as a man to die for us went thru, it is all to relate to others, as once everything happens we get to realize that it’s all to be able to minister to others thru compassion, as it is not the same to tell people: Oh I read in a book you go thru this, but to be able to say: You know I understand what you are going thru, I lived it but I was not alone going thru it, the Lord was with me and HE can be with you too and use it for someone else’s good. It is never about us, as when we give our lives to the Jesus he takes care of us as we take care of his, that does not mean we will not suffer, but we will never go thru it alone. I often think about those who don’t have Jesus as their Lord and Savior and how they process things, it encourages me more to share about Jesus.

In the midst of it all I received the news that one of the people who had been a supporter for a long time the first of the month was not going to be able to be a supporter on the first of the month, as things have shifted on her end economically, and the person who would support the transportation and flights was not going to be able to support as well. These two women have been of much more support than they can ever imagine but it is understood and appreciated, as they have been a huge part as others who have been led to be of support of this Great Commission. The Lord and I are more than thankful for those who have supported and prayed for this Great Commission, the support has been a blessing to so many. Thankful to those who have also prayed and are praying also for my daughter and I.

The Lord in the process of walking by faith has made me understand that this is his call, that HE is more interested in the souls being saved than me or anyone else, that HE will make a way, even though it may not be the way I expect it or would imagine, but the way that the glory and testimony can go to the King of Kings and Lords of Lords Jesus, the Holy Spirit. It is felt when the money looks like is ending or items needed are running out, but HE always makes a way. The Lord is real, as much as the darkness wants us to not believe that, Jesus, the Holy Spirit is real to those who obey and believe in him. There is no other love or anything else like it.

So much happens in 15 days, Jesus, which was the amount of time in country number 14, Paraguay, more than I can remember to be able to be all shared, but the Lord knows. Psalm 23 and 91 are a constant reminder in the midst of the moving and doing the Lord’s will. The next country has been set, the airplane ticket have been bought and the stay, the Lord of Lords will move who ever He desires for the rest of the needs, that is our God. It has been and continues to be a process the walk of faith, to understand that the battle is HIS and that I am an instrument, an ambassador that he moves to show how real and tangible HE is, whether is thru listening, a prayer, a meal, a hug, a prophesy, healing, and any other gift that he gives so that people can get to know Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit. That is how much the Lord loves us. Remember that no matter what we see or don’t see HE is always at work. Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus.
