Hebrews 11:13 AMP All these died in faith [guided and sustained by it], without receiving the [tangible fulfillment of God’s] promises, only having seen (anticipated) them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 Now those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 And if they had been thinking of that country from which they departed [as their true home], they would have had [a continuing] opportunity to return. 16 But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed [of them or] to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]; for He has prepared a city for them.
Zechariah 4:6 AMP Then he said to me, “This [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.“

I was born in the Dominican Republic, but spent time in between Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and grew up mostly in New York, going back and forth to the Dominican Republic. Growing up with my mom from the age of 2 years old to 5 years old, she had to move a lot from family members houses to rooms, until she left me with my father and step mother, from when I was 5 years old till I was 9 years old in a town in the Dominican Republic, where my mom together with 6 other individuals owned a private school that went from Kinder garden to 12th grade. The times I would be sent to the Dominican Republic; I didn’t want anyone to know who my mom was so people would not treat me different. Then my mom was given a contract in Puerto Rico as a school teacher and we moved there when I was 9 or 10 years old, living there for a couple of years, till we moved to the Bronx with an aunt. Then my mom met a man and we moved to Yonkers, NY. My mom still sent me back and forth to the Dominican Republic, that went on till I was around 19 years old. Then I met my daughter’s biological father who was in Puerto Rico, as he had gotten a visa to play soccer there from the Dominican Republic. I had my daughter when I was 20 years old, which the story of Mary encourages me so much, as she was a young mom as well. All of this made sense when I repented, accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and was called to the Great Commission, starting in Yonkers, NY from 2016 with the Homeless, gang members, drug dealers, the jails, the shelters and other places to being sent to now 17 countries.
Being called to do the Great Commission in Spain recently has made me go back to the roots of where it all started as the countries in the America’s and Caribean have been deeply impacted by the Spaniard/European cultures. When writing the last blog called Arriving to country 17, I was led to share how in the Holy Spirit I heard that this country was where most of the different beliefs came from. Walking thru the streets of the two towns I have been sent to specially in Sevilla; the Holy Spirit has made me understand there is so much alike in both of the capitals of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, the architectures and even street structures are so similar, it’s amazing. When being sent to Sevilla the Holy Spirit shared what was at the center of the town spiritually speaking. I also heard that I would have some sprit encounters. The Holy Spirit is also specific of where HE will have us stay, as the Great Commission is also needed there. The Holy Spirit will let us know what is it that has tried to take over the areas, but always reminds that as people get to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior that all changes. In Ephesians 6: 10-18, which is so important to understand and put in practice as Believers: no 10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might. 11 Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. 13 Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious]. 14 So stand firm and hold your ground, having [a]tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart), 15 and having [b]strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news]. 16 Above all, lift up the [protective] [c]shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.18 With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [d]God’s people. After also being sent to all of Central and South America, except for Venezuela, where the same spiritual situations were encountered, the Holy Spirit makes sense of the fact that this(Spain) is where it all came from, Jesus/Holy Spirit, thankful for HIS discernment and understanding.
The other day there was a sense from the Holy Spirit in me that as Christians we are neither from here nor there, as we are exiles who are here for a time to worship the Lord and answer the Great Commission as we read in Matthew 28(please take the time to read it) and are looking forward to the new heaven and new earth as we see in both Hebrews 11:13-16(reading on the top), and: Revelations 21:1-8Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (vanished), and there is no longer any [a]sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, arrayed like a bride adorned for her husband; 3 and then I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them [as their God,] 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the [c]former order of things has passed away.” 5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true [they are accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy].” 6 And He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give [water] from the fountain of the water of life without cost. 7 He who overcomes [the world by adhering faithfully to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior] will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 8 But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Which the Holy Spirit has made me understand that everything in our lives is a preparation for when we come to Jesus as our Lord and Savior and answer the Great Commission. Nothing is wasted and we do it with the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit as well as with compassion, just as the Lord who came as man thru Jesus did, who went thru everything we have gone thru and will go thru, so he can relate to us and we can relate to HIM. Everything we go thru is to minister to those the Lord will have us share with, out of experience and not just because we read it somewhere. The Bible also serves us a manual and serves as it says in: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. And in Hebrews 4:12:For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
What brought me to my knees and to surrender my life to Jesus, who is the way the truth, and the life and the only way to get to God was the fact that God came as a man thru Jesus Christ, went thru everything HE went thru, they put nails in his hands and feet, crucified HIM so that we could have eternal life, a savior, receive forgiveness, healing, restoration, eternal life, fruits, gifts and much more, as we repent, proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, get baptized thru submersion in water and receive the Holy Spirit. That just blew my mind, plus how humble HE was. Just mind blowing. Since then my personal life has changed drastically and I can’t thank HIM enough for what HE did for us and for having a purpose. Also being trusted with HIS creation where placed to answer the Great Commission with the authority of the Holy Spirit. We are able to do as it says in Mark 16:17-18 and Zachariah 4:6 only thru our daily friendship, surrendering, humbling and indwelling in us of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.” And Zachariah 4:6 Then he said to me, “This [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.
Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If you have not, take the time to. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior: what is the Lord telling you today with this post? Do you know your gifts? Are you answering the Great Commission where you have been placed? Are you surrendering to the Lord everyday? Are you spending time in the Bible and in HIS presence every day? Are you saying Less of me more of you Lord? Are you saying send me, use me?
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.🖤
