Málaga (/ˈmæləɡə/ ^ⓘ MAL-ə-gə, Spanish: [ˈmalaɣa] ^ⓘ) is a municipality of Spain, capital of the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. With a population of 578,460 in 2020,^[5] it is the second-most populous city in Andalusia and the sixth most populous in the country. It lies in Southern Iberia on the Costa del Sol (“Coast of the Sun”) of the Mediterranean, primarily in the left bank of the Guadalhorce. The urban core originally developed in the space between the Gibralfaro Hill and the Guadalmedina.

Málaga’s history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. According to most scholars, it was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians from Tyre as Malaka.^[6] From the 6th century BC the city was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage, and from 218 BC, it was under Roman rule, economically prospering owing to garum production.^[7] In the 8th century, after a period of Visigothic and Byzantine rule, it was placed under Islamic rule. In 1487, the Crown of Castile gained control in the midst of the Granada War. In the 19th century, the city underwent a period of industrialisation followed by a decay in all socioeconomic parametres in the last third of the century.^[8]

The most important business sectors in Málaga are tourism, construction and technology services, but other sectors such as transportation and logistics are beginning to expand. Málaga has consolidated as a tech hub, with companies mainly concentrated in the Málaga TechPark (Technology Park of Andalusia).^[9] It hosts the headquarters of the region’s largest bank, Unicaja, and it is the fourth-ranking city in Spain in terms of economic activity behind Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.^[10] Regarding transportation, Málaga is served by the Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport and the Port of Málaga, whereas the city is connected to the high-speed railway network since 2007.

The Holy Spirit will reveal the principalities and the History of the place HE is sending us so that we can know in part what has tried to take over those areas and many other things.

Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬-‭27‬ ‭AMP “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity]. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world [wealth, fame, success], but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory and majesty of His Father with His angels, and then He will repay each one in accordance with what he has done.“
‭

The Great Commission: Matthew 28:¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. ¹⁷ And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted [that it was really He]. ¹⁸ Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”

Answering the Great Commission is also dying to our selves for the Holy Spirit to be able to flow thru us as the Lord reminds us in Matthew 16:24 Discipleship Is Costly ²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. Zechariah 4:6 Amplified Bible⁶ 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. Proverbs 3:5-6Amplified Bible ⁵ 
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
⁶In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

As I was led to share in the last blog/post, (please take the time to read: Leaving city number 2 to in country number 17(The God who sees)) the train ticket was bought when and as led to be bought while in Sevilla, where the Lord had me for 30 days, thru HIS provision that a brother is Christ was led to send. The days before there is a shift of place, city or country is coming there is a lot of crying unpacking everything that happened in the place, everything that was done in the place spiritually, being attacked mentally and the days before the shift there are filled with many thoughts from the darkness who likes to put their 5 cents in everything and words and directions from the Holy Spirit, the best way I can describe it is that it feels like a rollercoaster and like being pregnant and giving birth, as once the ground is hit and the Holy Spirit starts moving, the attacks, the sleepless nights and everything we go thru is forgotten and it’s so encouraging. The Lord knows what we need to see and hear to keep moving forward. In our weakness HE becomes strong.

When arriving to the train station I was exhausted, as I had not sleep the night before or for many nights in Sevilla, as I have mentioned before we get to feel in the spirit everything that is going in a place to move with compassion as the Lord did when HE came as a man thru Jesus. The Bible says that we will feel what HE feels, as the Holy Spirit lives in us, when we have given our lives to Jesus and have gotten baptized by submersion in water. Then I heard from the Holy Spirit to sit in the station, which ended up being like a shopping center as well. I heard to sit in a fast food restaurant that my daughter and I were speaking about. The Good News of Jesus was led to be given out-loud in the restaurant, then person by person, as led by the Holy Spirit. After I heard to go receive an offering that a group from a church in Trinidad and Tobago were led to send, which I heard was to be used for food. In the place where the funds were received the Good News of Jesus paper was given to the worker and the people who came in. I heard after to go back to the station and kept hearing an online stay and flight booking company and that it would be the first one. Before that another sister in Christ who I was led to speak to over video call, was led to send an offering, which was also an answer to a what I had heard to send my daughter $50 dollars. The Holy Spirit also leads who to give and what to, as everything that comes thru our hands is for HIS purpose, for the Great Commission. By the end of the day I was exhausted and heard to go on the page online, started hearing hotel, I went online and a sister in Christ was led to ask how much did I need and I was not sure, and she was led to send $50 dollars, at that point I had $105 dollars in the account and the cash I heard was for food. The room was gotten where the leading of the Holy Spirit led and it was a hostal where it was a room with shared bathrooms and showers in each area. There were other shared areas as well, I heard for one night there. That night the Good News paper and in speaking was shared with the employees as well as the people who were staying there from different countries, meals were also shared with those who needed to know the GOD WHO SEES. The Lord will bring the people to us, who ever HE needs to understand.

The lady who accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior took this picture of me as she sensed it was a picture of Jesus standing behind me, which has been reoccurring in different places and roads. The GOD WHO SEES and is always with those who HE has chosen and have chosen to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, gotten baptized by submersion and have received the Holy Spirit.

I woke up the next day, listened to the Bible, cried and cried, which happens often, got ready as I heard and heard to go get breakfast and it was to share the Good News and words from the Holy Spirit with a few people from different countries that were staying there as well as some of the employees who needed to have an encounter with the GOD WHO SEES. Even having me take off a silver chain that was bought in Sevilla, which I had heard it was not for me and had been given a vision of taking it off and giving it to someone. It was for the person who works at the hostal the Lord had me first stay. Then I heard and had a vision sitting in one of the shared areas to make the reservation for the next place, it made me think of how the Lord knows who HE chooses, as HE knows this is not easy and it takes child like faith and most importantly HIS fruits and gifts to accomplish the Great Commission. One of the workers was so thankful to the Lord for sending someone to Málaga, specially the areas that HE did as she stated that so much happens there and it is a reminder that the light has to be where the darkness is trying to take over and it was also a reminder of Matthew 24:12-14. The next places was gotten as the Holy Spirit led, after the assignment was done, in the first hostal, with also a woman giving her life to Jesus. Arrived to the second hostal and it had a sense to it. Also so much happens in places where a lot of people stay, as each person carries different spirits, depending who they have given their lives to.

A lot happens minute to minute when doing the Great Commission and walking with the Holy Spirit. I was led to give people that work at the second hostal the Good News paper, with different reactions as always, as the Lord makes us understand thru HIS Bible and the Holy Spirit that there are different soils, speaking about people, that when they reject is not us is HIM that they are rejecting as well. I was led to then going out to get water and share the Good News of Jesus with some of the local businesses owners and workers, seeing some familiar stores and crying. After heard from the Holy Spirit to go back to the second hostal and sit in an area where I could be seen, people who were leaving the hostal from different countries and employees got to hear the testimony of faith and the Good News of Jesus, listening attentively and being led to go into this link for testimonies and teachings. I often hear: Be ready, and is to have the Good News of Jesus ready. I have heard the time till when to be in Málaga and as always I am praying that the Lord’s will is done and for HIS kingdom to come thru me, wherever HE leads and in me in Jesus name.

Thankful for those who are praying for this Great Commission and my daughter, for those who have also been led to give, as it blesses me and so many in so many ways and they get to see God in a tangible way.
