Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Zechariah 4: So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.
1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
These scriptures were once again a reminder, as the night before leaving to the next country Bolivia I started hearing stay, don’t go with the Holy Spirit felt on my head. I had heard that before but not with the Holy Spirit felt on my head. Then in the morning I heard again the same words. I kept getting ready as the flight had been bought and the taxi was coming. I get ready, start removing the sheets on the bed of the place I was led to stay in and I heard: It is not necessary, when I was taking the sheets off. I got on the taxi and mid way the gasoline finishes, I shared the Good News of Jesus with the female driver and we prayed. She went to get the gasoline and took me to the airport. When I arrived at the airport to the window where the check in was going to happen the lady tells me that I need a visa and other items to be able to travel. I had a sense of peace and heard again: stay, don’t leave there are more things that need to be done. I was reminded when in Nicaragua, where the Lord had me for 5 months, where HE gave me those two Bible verses that are mentioned at the beginning of this post; when I had heard one country, then wait and a week after I received an email that there was a lot going on in that country and then another country I heard and I heard wait again and the Holy Spirit moved thru a woman and clarified that something could have happened to me if I had gone to this other country.
I sat down on a bench at the airport, then went to the bathroom, got some water, went online and communicated with the people where I was staying in Paraguay and extended the stay for the amount I had sensed in the spirit which ended up being more and after clearly hearing to leave on Monday to a completely different country, it was changed. This happened on a Tuesday and that week the Spirit sent me to different areas to share the Good News of Jesus and finished conversations that needed to be had for the Holy Spirit to deliver some of the people that had been spoken to in the building where HE had me stay and in the streets. During that week on Thursday I was led to go get the Yellow fever vaccine and as always it is never just about me or the item, it is also for the souls. In the hospital I was led to share the Good News of Jesus with the staff of the hospital and do a group prayer with them, praying as the Holy Spirit led. Marriages were also restored and encouraged by the Holy Spirit where he had me stay.
The day that I was asked to stay in Paraguay, two sisters in Christ were led to send me $25 dollars each, $1 dollar is $7,279.42 Guaraní. I was also led to order food and some needed items for the remaining days that I would be in Paraguay, as in Paraguay as in many of the countries the Lord has sent me; I was led to make the meals I would be eating while in this country. The day before getting the vaccine I was led to get some cash from the ATM and it was also to share the Good News of Jesus in some of the businesses in the place where the ATM was. I was able to sleep and rest for the remaining days. In the midst of the resting the Holy Spirit as always kept doing. One of the disciples on the Saturday of that week was led to come over after cleaning an apartment in the building where I was led to stay and give me what she had earned from the cleaning, which was $50,000 Guaraní. It is so overwhelming each time when the Lord does that, no matter how long we are in the Great Commission it is powerful when the Lord moves as it is clear that it is him. He will do things to make sure we see it was him doing what just happened.
I kept praying those days and asking the Lord to clarify when I was leaving and the specific area where I was being sent to. I heard the area and the reservation for both the ticket and the place to stay were done with a couple of cards that have represented so much warfare from the person who owns them, but the Holy Sprit keeps leading to use them for his purposes. The Lord is not to be understood but obeyed. I was led to share the Good News of Jesus with the owner of the apartment where the trip was canceled and she was so thankful and stated in a message that she would gladly receive me if I was sent there another time. In the new place where I was led to stay in the Center of that area, a message with the Good News of Jesus and the link to this page was sent and the response of the owner was that it was a blessing to receive a messenger of God. I cried and cried as I had gotten so much warfare/spiritual oppressing in one of the countries where I was led to go to and in the place where the Holy Spirit had me stay I was told that a fine would be given and then removed for placing the Good News of Jesus paper under the doors. In each place there is different warfare, but the Lord makes a way for encouraging and to keep going. Here in Paraguay, was the heaviness when going to wake up in the mornings and at night with very guilty and dark thoughts about the situation with my daughter. When those dark moments happen it is like if a principality gets on top of us and tries to beat us down. In those moments I sense to ask other brothers and sisters to pray, I pray and go to sleep crying and saying: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, till I fall asleep. This calls comes with very dark nights of the soul, as we also get to feel everything that is going on in the places where we are placed. Also the darkness tries to oppress and tries to make us tired so we do not go for the souls. Matthew 4 is a great reminder of that, take the time to read it in the Bible. A pastor that I had met in the country was led to explain the situation in the country and it helped make sense of why I felt the way I felt each day. It is important to understand that everything in the life of someone who had decided to repent and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior is Spiritual as it states in Ephesians 6:10-18(take time to read it in the Bible and ask the Lord for understanding).
After the Vaccine and as I was giving out the Good News of Jesus papers that also contain the free Bible app and the link for this page, the pastor I had met in the center, who was so encouraged by the Holy Spirit was moved by the Spirit to give me words of encouragement about the situation with my daughter as he himself had been thru something similar. It felt like a moment of deliverance and encouragement, which was an answer to prayer, as I kept telling the Lord to send me a word to know that I was on the right path, regardless of what I was feeling in my flesh, as every time I would be attacked with those dark thoughts of the situation with my daughter, which till this day for a couple of months now I have not heard from her, I would have a sense of overwhelming guilt and questioning of the path the Lord has me on for the souls. The message the Holy Spirit sent thru the Pastor brother in Christ was to fully surrender her to the Lord, to say Jesus when the thoughts came and to put worship music, to enjoy the path as well, as many would like to be able to be in different places for the Lord, which reminded me of Romans 10:14-15(take time to read it in the Bible). The Lord also reminded me thru him that the Lord as he has called me cares for my daughter. After that day I do pray and surrender her as always, cry a bit, but I don’t let it consume me or make me feel the way it did. I will always love my daughter and pray for her, but I have to understand that in the Lord’s perfect time it will all be clarified.
The next country is coming up soon and only the Lord knows what will happen or how everything will unfold as for the first time the country HE is sending me to is not a Spanish speaking country, but what I am always led to pray is that HIS kingdom comes and will is done in Jesus name, where ever he is led to place me to answer the Great Commission, as stated in Matthew 28(take time to read in the Bible). The Holy Spirit led me to translate and print the Good News of Jesus paper in their language. One of the workers in the building where the Lord had me, who was also encouraged and prayed for by the Holy Spirit in me served as a reminder of: Matthew 13: 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit will make sure the message is given in what ever language it needs to be given. It also reminded me of the different languages the Lord has had me share the good news of Jesus and what ever else HE needs to be told thru a translation app.
The Holy Spirit led me to create this page to share the testimonies of how real HE is and for the different teachings in this page that have been heard and are being used for discipleship as the Lord said in many different countries that I have not even heard of but HE has. The Lord and I are thankful also for those who are of support to this Commission whether by monetary support or prayer. The Lord is real and no matter what we see or don’t see happening, the Lord does not create the evil that happens in our lives, HE is always at work as we are reminded in: Matthew 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 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.
