John 3:16-2116 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

When the Lord is sending us to a place we don’t get to hear so much of the physical history, but more of the Spiritual history of the place. In sharing in the last blog post called:Arriving to country 17, Spain…(please take the time to read it) I shared how I was called and heard to arrive to Salamanca, and how the arriving happened. One thing that was clear when arriving to this country, to the airport which was what I hear was that it is where a lot of the idolatry and other spiritual situations, that this was the center and beginning of it all. It made sense as from this country people went into other parts of the world for what we know as colonizing and in that time they brought slaves and people from other countries that together with the colonizers brought their customs and believes. The Lord always reminds me that as people repent and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior all of that ends. There is a 6 hour difference, which was also felt in the time of going to sleep and being awaken in the middle of the night.
While in Salamanca I was led to go to specific areas and people. I read the Bible, prayed, humbled myself before the Lord and asked for direction. There were days that I was led to stay in for resting and other days for also receiving and understanding what the Holy Spirit needed me to understand. Go to the blog/podcast called Rest here in this page, to hear more about the journey of who to rest in and how as a believer. Business owners received the Good News of Jesus paper and prayer. Then I would hear the youth, in the leading of the Holy Spirit the youth HE would point out would receive the Good News of Jesus paper, which at the end of this post I share what the paper says and if led you can also use it as an evangelizing tool.
There were people that were more the focus than others, like a German young man that stays where I was placed, a young African young woman who needed to feel and understand how much the Lord loved them and for the will of the Lord to be done in their lives. All done thru relationship thru the leading of the Holy Spirit. Meals were also shared with specific people who the Lord spoke thru the food, the Holy Spirt and prayer. Then I sensed to go to a church one Sunday, where the focus were the pastor’s, the husband and the wife pastor, who was diagnosed with Cancer and by the Grace of God needed to know that HE was not going to die and other things the Lord revealed to the congregation in that moment. During the week the pastor called me and shared that they had received results for the previous test and that the Cancer was not in his bones, he was thankful to the Lord that HE had sent someone to pray and encourage them. I was reminded of people the Lord has had me pray for in HIS name in Jesus name, and were healed of Cancer, tumors, feet, spine and so much more. The Lord moves in the way the person is going to know that there is a God who sees and is real. That is why we get different gifts and fruits of the Spirit so that people can know the Lord is real and come to Jesus as their Lord and Savior. There is a Post here called the Fruits of the Spirit and another called the Gifts of the Spirit, take the time to read and or listen to them, as there are also some understanding reading in them. We get those gifts and fruits thru the surrendering of our lives to Jesus, who the Bible teaches us that HE is the way the, truth and the life and the only way to get to God. It is thru that friendship and daily surrendering, that we can function and be led by the Holy Spirit.
The Lord made sure I had all that was needed, as always, before arriving to Spain HE moved two women to send offerings to the account which served to also share with many as well as my daughter. While in Salamanca, the Lord made sure I was also provided with what needed to be provided to do HIS Great Commission. It was exactly what was needed to arrive to the country and city where HE was sending me to for the Great Commission to be accomplished. In the midst of being in Salamanca the Lord also worked in me, in not loosing the JOY of the Lord, thru the videos I was watching on an online site, about a culture and I would hear stop watching those shows every time, but they would have conversations and talk about topics that were entertaining. The Holy Spirit would reveal how when we watch something we are also opening a door into where we are for what ever they are worshipping and idolizing. Thru this scripture HE makes us understand: Matthew 6:22-23: Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!“ I would also hear this other scripture, which HE also had me share with others: Matthew 24:12-14:12 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. I was loosing the JOY of doing the Great Commission, as we are already surrounded by evil and darkness and then me watching those shows was also bringing the darkness that they believed in to where ever I was. The Lord used two preachings filled with HIS Holy Spirit to deliver me from the darkness that would filter thru the screen. Nehemiah 8:10Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
The word lives in us thru the Holy Spirt and HE will use that word to do what we read in; John 1:1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Everything we need to understand comes thru the friendship with the Holy Spirit thru Jesus, reading the word, having a communion, relationship every day. Remembering and understanding also what it says in: Ephesians 6:10-18:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Everything we need to know and understand is in the Bible, it’s our manual. The Bible needs to be read daily. Every step that we learn in the Bible, thru the Holy Spirit is important, none can be skipped. We must repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior as we read in Romans 10:9: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 14:6:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.We must get baptized by submersion in water, unless we are ill in a bed and can not move, as we read in: Matthew 3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” So we can receive the Holy Spirit, as we read in John 3: Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” And this is the message of Salvation that the Lord wants everyone to hear, so that who ever receives it can get forgiveness, healing, restoration, purpose, eternal life and all that we learn thru the Holy Spirit and the Bible, to eventually answer the Great Commission found in: Matthew 28: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” We are brought to this earth to worship the Lord and so that HIS kingdom can come and will can be done as it is in heaven, in Jesus name, Amen.
There is another city or providence in Spain that I am hearing to go to soon, which has deep Muslim roots, because of it’s history, as always I am praying for the Kingdom of the Lord to come and HIS will to be done in all that happens. The bus ride to this other town is 7 hours. Thankful to those who are praying and have prayed for both my daughter and I. Also to those who have been of provision thru their obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus wants you to know that HE LOVES YOU. He wants a relationship with you. Our sins separate us from God, when we break his commandments. But if we repent and accept Jesus as our God and Savior, there is forgiveness, healing, restoration, purpose, eternal life and much more. Talk to Him.🙏He wants to hear from you.🖤
